Recently we have been hearing a lot in media about Global warming and need to hasten our acts together to arrest the current trend. But let us see how many of us really bother about these things and leave it to government to deal with it.
A international survery conducated shows that 24% Indians do not feel global warming is a problem, 30% like to wait and watch and 19% feels that immediate steps should be taken to arrest the trends. 27% did not have any comments to offer.In order to bring out a change in perception, such campaings will definitely play a major role.
After Sydney, London and more recently Mumbai, it’s Chennai that’s heading for the ‘Lights out’ campaign — their way to fighting global warming. How? The Lights Out campaign aims at creating awareness about the dangers of global warming has arrived in Chennai, the the campaign is gaining momentum ahead of the D-day on August 8.
In Chennai the campaign has been christened ‘88888 Lights Out’ as citizens are expected to turn off their lights for 8 minutes at the 8th hour in 8th month of the 8th year of the millennium. The campaign, incidentally, is being spearheaded by the Exnoral International’s Civil Exnora unit.
One may wonder what is the impact a 8 minute lights off campaign can have in terms of energy conservation.To all those the aim is to spead the awareness among the general public to start utilising the energy efficiently.
It is also a good time to read the recently unveiled National Action Plan on Climate Change and contribute Chennai's might in combating Global warming.
