this land is your land, this land is my land. Sure, but the world is run by those who never listen to any music anyway.

dude…if i request a person to switch off the lights for an hour, I have already planted the seed in his mind to create a curiosity. He would want to know why am I requesting him to do such a “bizzare” thing. Finally, he’ll understand that this is being done to manage resources and use them fruitfully and efficiently, not waste it.

At the end of the day, the objective is achieved ..whether i go and tell him about using resources intelligently or i request him to turn of the lights. Because when i do the later, i get him involved. This gives him a first hand experience.

And talking about the former, they all knew about the Mumbai Unplugged - Batti Bandh initiative but they still didn’t volunteer though they wanted to, until I requested them to participate. So, they were aware about “utilizing the resources carefully” but they floundered when they had to apply it practically..

dude,
There are always two sides to a coin. the head says global warming exists and the tail says it doesn’t … You are calling Tail and yr views are being backed by State of Fear and mine that is, the head, is influenced by the extreme changes that r taking place in the world..Gangotri is drying up, Antartica is losing it’s ice sheets, there is a hole in the ozone layer.. and this hasn’t been mentioned in State of Fear… these are effects of global warming..

Look for a documentary by Al Gore called An Inconvenient Truth..
i.e., if u want to understand the theory and the existence of Global Warming.

Global warming, did I read that.,
U talk of the whole thing on the basis that this theory exists, but there are equal number of theories opposing it,
The book “ State of Fear” which U have also read,
Some theories say its to keep us occupied to avoid the third world war since this will be a global thing.

I was with U when U were wandering around the building, I loved the enthusiasm U showed.

Coming back to the point, switching lights for an hour or something., don’t quite make sense to me,
It wud be better if U cud tell people about utilizing the resources carefully,
It wud help more.
cuz science and technology are to make life easy,
