LIFE WITH GLOBAL WARMING

GLOBAL WARMING has been grabbing all the limelight in a past few days. It is importent that we hurry up and act or else it will be too late.One important issue that is being sidelined in all this discourse is our lifestyle.There has been dramatic shift in our lifestyle in the past few years and it has added immensely to global warming.There is no shortcut in consuming less , but how does that happen ina world where everyone is being bombarded with more and more products and services.Holidays, to exotic places,season's new shoes, unregulated mega constructionsthese are the diverse kind of consumptions,all of which contributes to global warming.Infact in California, buildings are reponsible for almost 45% of all greenhouse gases.India can be harmed very critically ,if we don't reduce our consumption and start planning for future.The indian poor will be in an unthinkable condition.But on the other hand , we also need energy for our growth. All this involves emitting even more greenhouse gases.Instead of negotiating with the Unitedstates over anuclear deal ,we need diplomacy to help us leapfrog in to clean technology. Building codes to examine the impact of green house gas must be created.Above all we should feel less ashamed of a simpler lifestyle and live it with pride.
