With fuel prices rising every second week people should

by Amrit Hallan on June 28, 2010

start using bicycles on a regular basis. On Google news I read that the BJD MLAs rode bicycles in protest against the recent fuel price hike. But why ride bicycles just for protest sake? It’s healthy. It keeps your body healthy, mind alert, and helps you reduce your carbon footprint to boot. It’s a win-win situation. The government gets more money and you get more healthy and less greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere.

Since awareness programs in our country don’t work (people are too smart ass for their own good) the government is trying to make us healthy and build our character. It wants us to live on bare minimums and that is fine. Don’t use vehicles, and if possible telecommute. Going to office is so 1990s. Be creative if vegetables and fruits get expensive. Learn to preserve resources, after all our kids will anyway be living on scarce resources. Spend less or work harder to earn more — again a win-win situation.

A request, Amrit ji, would you please write a post about the oil spill and BP. And now the methane leak. This is going to have worldwide implications both economically and ecologically.

Hello Mai. I’d like to write on the subject but I’ll need to dig out some information. Whatever I write these days I come across the information without an effort so I can quickly write something on them. I’ll keep it in mind though, and thanks for the suggestion

You might like to look at this. You can get some idea of the size by moving the spill anywhere in the world. http://www.ifitwasmyhome.com/#loc=Kansas+City%2C+MO+64118%2C+USA&lat=39.220735&lng=-94.5727598&x=-94.5727598&y=39.220735&z=7

Now there is a hurricane in the region.

Greed!
