LOOK TO FUTURE
by damodaran mohan on Mar 23, 2008 09:39 AM   Permalink

There is nothing new about the 17 tips. The question is how far people take them seriously given the inherent nature of casualness of people in general.So, considering the seriousness of the problem what is needed is a total SHIFT in our TRANSPORT MODE by the people and a PARADIGM SHIFT in the govt. policy. Just imagine a country of over one billion people as developed as the U.S ! What will be the amount of Fossil fuel needed and its environmental impact !Would it not be simply catasstropic !It is time we switch to Electric bikes, cars and govt. policies also encourage these & Public Transport and discourage buying of Petrol & Diesel vehicles. Is the Govt. prepared to catalyse production and use of these vehicles ? What is needed is futuristic attitudes of people and govt. policies on these and not mere window dressin
