But is the biblical armageddon closer than we think through seemingly "innocent" actions of mankind - like consuming more and more and... The world simply cannot cope with 2.3 billion Indians & Chinese living like 300 million Americans who constituting 5% of the world population contribute 25% or more of global pollution. Just visualise the world drowned under disposable diapers without a single tree standing because all of them have been converted into diapers. The British government recently acknowledged at the highest levels that immediate action should be taken and 180 billion British Pounds be spent (globally) if a devastating 20% contraction in the Global Economy is to be avoided. All we can do as individuals is live simple lives. People at the top of the pile have to lead by example. The Infosys and Wipro bosses Narayanmurthy and Premji for example use small cars. Once the top stops flaunting wealth the rest of the pyramid will naturally begin to follow. In the meantime all we common individuals can do is REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE - the 3Rs for the survival of the Human Race.
