Ambimama - India

It is a very difficult topic. We all earn through technology, the term here meaning general and specialized ones. And it is changing every now and then. There are many job opportunities and the head under which to apply is really mind blogging (boggling actually is correct!). Specialized world and we have no time to think about our own taste for anything we need. But I appreciate there are people who take care and time to think natural and worry about the common cause. The common cause is human and nature about which they worry and take steps to correct.

A simple example is about the News item that I read about the water disposal problem in my area. A man has fought the authorities and having no response, he has devised a new design to solve the issue! It will benefit thousands of families and save water also.

Go on tour even if health does not permit you. It really peps you up. You meet people who really need your help whether they are related or not. A small help makes you think you too are beneficial to the world. If I stay in one place I become a bore to myself. So going on tour makes your Life merrier.

Recently I went for about three days to a place where I had started my Life and made a mess of it. I met people in a marriage and remembered a close friend of mine who is no more. The marriage and people I met made me brighter and in the travel also I was asked for help. So going on a tour thanks to my close ones has made my Life joyful

Chennai is very hot and I feel the age factor is also a reason for unable to bear the Chennai hot climate. It has crossed 40 degree centigrade for the past two days and even if I have air-conditioner sometimes I have to come out in the hot sun. I see many youngsters happy and playing, carrying on their normal activities. But I feel the heat more and unable to do my normal work. Of late I have become a lazy person and I feel the heat more!

There is always a positive side of summer. The Sun sure gives life to lot of lives, kills unwanted bacteria and maintains a balanced life on Earth. The biggest natural atomic reactor with Helium and Hydrogen performing fusion and fission is Sun. No doubt it is called God and Life giver.
But God can punish us at times and this is during summer! We want the Sun and yet we want it to be at a distance. Just as we want to do anything on Earth and get away with it. I am tired even as I type this because of the heat in Chennai. As I get older I feel the heat more!

Psychologists say people who buy green goods are less altruistic than those who don’t. I really believe Psychologists, but tend to think otherwise in this aspect. The concept of Green itself is late and cannot turn Earth into a heaven, overnight. I think, those who buy green goods have the moral courage to turn the Earth into a place worth living.

I cannot agree with the following fact:
The boom in organic and environmentally friendly goods is turning modern consumers into self-obsessed hypocrites who use their ethical purchases to justify unethical and amoral behaviour, according to new research. The notion that people are motivated by concerns about Mother Earth appears to have been consigned to the dustbin of history along with the hippy ideals of the 1960s and 1970s. In the modern world people are narcissistic and want payback - and believe that if they earn moral brownie points in the supermarket or by driving a hybrid car they can cash them in elsewhere.

“Because purchasing green products affirms individuals’ values of social responsibility and ethical consciousness, we predict that purchasing green products will establish moral credentials, ironically licensing selfish and morally questionable behavior.” This is not true with all and whatever the psychologists say, I am not bothered. I will atleast fight for Green Earth in my capacity.

The scenario could be described as a moral equivalent to carbon offsetting - the practice of donating to projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses immediately before embarking on an activity that generates large carbon emissions.
Meanwhile the father of green campaigners, Sting, was once criticised for hiring a private jet for a flight where he was the only passenger. And his band The Police were labelled the dirtiest in the world because of the amount of pollution created during their reunion tour in 2007-8.

Green does not come by campaigning alone – It comes by living and understanding and however I might say this, it applies to me alone and I cannot force anyone to live Green!
