saving the World

hi all.its been a long time that i am able to write again something bout our environment.The recent bandh regrading the phasing out of 15 yr old vehicles is a lesson which should be an eye opener for every kolkatan.May be it was just another holiday for office goers or another issue to be raised by the opposition party but just how many of us think that how much cleaner our city can become by a little effort.If people stand by their beloved city it can follow the foot steps of our capital city which was once the most polluted and now can vouch for its greenery.Still I feel that besides phasing out of old vehicles, which in fact wld be taxing for the vehicle owners, people can use car pool, cycle etc to commute & which are easy to impement. Just a thght behind the cause is required.Or even an example from mumbai can be borrowed where the court has ordered the private taxis off on a week day. As for now i just hope that our city becomes cleaner in the coming days.Go Green!!!!!!!

a few days ago i went to lake gardens through southern avenue.it was the 1st time that i had stepped out of my home after the storm aila had grazed our city.i could not belive what i saw.there must have 10-15 large trees uprooted on that small stretch and the whole area around the lake was looking devastated.i could not imagine what might have become of the whole city after that fateful day.i was really sad to see that the trees which take so many years to bloom into a full grown tree were lying lifeless in such a manner.nature helps living creatures to sustain but owns its fury too.politicians are talking about rehabilitation of people affected by aila and are using the situation to thier own advantage.but nobody seems to care about these 2000 trees that been rendered soil-less and lifeless.nobody has come forward with a proposal to replenish these greens or a plan to plant at least as many trees as uprooted.can we imagine what might have become of our city had aila entered it and not just bypassed it?
