Good Practical suggestions. I remember my GF once castigating me for using BEST bus on my way top meet her when I had just bought a brand new car. WHen I explained why I did it, she called it a lie and pronounced me a kanjoos.

FG, do I notice a parallel between your belief in God & in global warming…? Both appear to be articles of faith, glossing over ”petty” technicalities…! The funny thing is that a lot of your action plan makes sense (esp. for India) independent of whether global warming is happening or not…simply based on the high levels of pollution & poor infrastructure in the country. So, not clear why you”d need to get into contentious space when its not necessary.

why dont we adopt solar lights for street lights instead of this electricity once - there are some successful example in india itself- some place lighted by solar only- dont remember where it was - the existing lights itself remains switched on well after bright morning many a days , wasting energy which could other wise have been saved. The battery operated vechiles that are coming in to the market seems to be a better option ? wonder if the batteirs that are charged by electricty will cause another environment problem? what about this computers and periphrals and related waste material that are harmful ?

Nice one. Plan to reread it many time. Am thrilled that I have played cricket with a Nobel Prize winner– Mr Pachauri, an ardent , die hard cricket freak and his rather good TERI team while at Delhi.

I have lived both lives. Life of luxury and life of simplictiy. Life of luxury is something that i am done with and now out of necessity i am living a life of simplicity. Let me tell you, i am being more individual and I am being more myself. I am entertaining myself better and pampering all the more, more. Now i realize, the ”assumed” life while i was living the life of luxury just made an ass out of me while the ”real” life makes me really feel what a ass i was. By the way, my point is, being more individualistic will help a lot of things and Global Warming is definitely one among those.

About FG’’s and Turbo Jet’’s comments on the need/desirability for Passerby to have an Iland identity , it doesn”t make sense to me because if any of his/her comments has to be refuted or commented upon , it can be done right here, where it can be read by others as well , in the context of what is being discussed. All such relevant exchanges, in fact should be put out here , so that somebody interested enough , can read it at one place, instead of having to flit from one Iland to another.
