It is from Greta Thunberg that I come to know about Climate change. Having seen the action to change to a more environment friendly energy, she has been pushing many countrys' government of the world to change to more natural energy so that the world will not go through calamities. I have seen her being rebellious in this, sometimes being dragged away into a police car, as she wants to send a very strong message to the world now that it is not good to delay in Climate change effort and push them to act fast as time is running out. She is not satisfied with the action of the world leaders for now. It would be good for her to calm down and wait as things a moving, but she is very aggressive in this. My hats of to her, but I believe that she can constantly push if goals not met, after planning by the world leaders, and to be patient at the same time.
In retrospect, I really did not know much about the knowledge on climate change. In fact, I could not see a difference between electric and petrol/oil. Either way, I felt that calamities of the world are inevitable.
Lately, this was brought up to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,an enlightened master from India, on Climate Change. Usually, he used to answer on overthinking, happiness, how to be happy and jovial, on meditation etc. He is a person who is able to give satisfactory answer all questions posed from the crowe. One of the feat he still do is to ask all the questions, 10 to 20 questions. Then, he will start to talk. He usually answers from one topic and go to the topic in just one talk. After his 20 to 30min of talk by answering the crowd's question, he will ask, whether he has missed out on any question that needs to addressed or bbe reminded to answers. It is a miracle that he answers all in one go of his talk.
There was once a person who asked on Climate change. I thought he will answer on energy, But, instead, to my surprise he started talking on exercise. He told that if people walk or cycle, a lot of the emisstion from the petrol will be curbed. He is not against using car as a transport but to make people to walk or cycle to work, etc. If one has a long journey to make, it is, as a collective effort from the population, we can instead take bus as a transport or the mass rapid transit or tube, to move from one place to the other.
He expounded on other ways to not emit gases from petrol. However, I will not discuss on that as the blog is more about exercise. As he brought out on the need to walk, cycle, or take bus or mass rapid tranisit, we can come to a conclusion that we also can be part of a community to curtail carbon emission.
Now, I know it is hard to tell countries and leaders this as many countries have their own opinion. I am not bothered about that. Since, if we can jog or walk to work or cycle to work and using electric friendly transport, each and everyone can contribute to less carbon emission. One can create a blog and write to people to exercise or take bus or mass rapid transit to travel and this in a way also gives us the benefits of long life and free from diseases and sicknesses.
In a way, health and fitness can help one to save money and from going to see doctor more frequently and to keep oneself fit and strong and age strongly. Only, if one has a very busy job etc and need to travel by car and on petrol, then, it is alright for now to travel on petrol driven cars. This is a piece of good news for health and fitness enthusiast, as I used to drive a lot in the past and, in a way, I myself have conrtributed to pollute the environment. Lately, I have been cycling or do walking to market or places and restrict in even taking buses, to use the latter transport only if necessary.
