Can the Earth be saved?
There are many ways to reduce carbon footprints and many of us are working on it. But I honestly don’t think that we have reached a point where we would make changes to things that add to our comfort. I guess when all of us will be able to do that then we would really make a difference. Apart from the things that we can do as individuals, there are many things that leaders of every nation can do. But it seems like they only do things that will increase their approval rating.
Recently Canada moved out of the Kyoto protocol. As per them the protocol is not making any impact, as some of the countries that produce maximum carbon have not participated in it. While this is true, it also cannot be ignored that Canada might have opted out as they wanted to continue producing fuel from sand without any obligation. Extracting fuel from sand is a process that would produce ten to thirty percent more green house gases than fossil fuel. Fuel from sand will surely help America to reduce its dependency on hostile Arab countries, but will greatly add to the already big carbon footprint the continent has. Environmentalist have been using various platforms like blogs, forums, placing of display stand in public areas describing the negative effects of fuel from sand and theatres to increase awareness on key issues. Hopefully this would bring in some positive change.
There is no doubt that the world is not going to learn its lesson till a major catastrophic event would happen on a global scale. But do we really want to pay that price and is there nothing we can learn from the natural disasters that happen in different parts of the globe? I think it’s time for the world to stand up as one and save a planet that is the only known place where life can exist.
