Save the world!

Carbon footprint. For the rich, this means nothing to them. They may think that this is a new technology, used by the police to track down criminals, when the finger prints don’t help. Oh! You are rich? I am sorry! I mean the rich, who don’t bother what is going on the environmental world! (Phew! That was close!)

Well, who can blame them, when utility bills mean nothing to them, when they got loads of money? To them the bills are just procedural papers which their servants attend to, to get the utilities in their mansions going on smoothly. So unlike us, they won’t bother switch off their electrical providers of comfort, or turn off their water gadgets when they are not in use.

For us, it will be, “John, how many times must I tell you to switch off the light when you are going out?” Or, “Hey, you! Have you turned off the tap properly?” And “Aw, come on! It’s not so hot now. Switch off the air cond, will ya?”

Not that we are deeply conscious of the effect on the environment, or for that matter, are being seriously serious about the ozone layer depreciation. Ya, you got it! We just do not want to spend too much on our utility bills, for reasons which you and I know!

Well, it is time for everyone, be they be poor or rich, to take notice of the deterioration of the world’s atmosphere that we depend on, and the causes leading to it.

A little bit of info on the Carbon Footprint – It is the measure of the effect our daily activities have on the atmosphere. for example, our usage of electricity; it is made possible by the burning of fuels that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which will then have a negative effect on the ozone layer. Ozone layer is important in that it prevents the ultra violet light-rays, called as UV-B radiation, from the sun to reach the earth and harm both plant and animal life.
