Note: The words might have formed from my pen but the sole
inspiration is a YouTube video that I recently watched from Instagram.
I want to feel safe
and secure but how can I rejoice knowing no future awaits me.
The exact words of Greta Thunberg. She is a 16-year-old
activist who has become an inspiration to teenagers and youths to address this
issue of climate change.
Yet standing with cheerful slogans and walking the streets
as a part of Instagram feed or school project or just only because of a lousy
day, you are fooling no one. Criticizing great world leaders, we probably are
thinking we are the superheroes saving the hot planet by demoing the villains
i.e. great world leaders.
Its high time you get out of this fairytale and realize each
one of us is a villain. Even if under pressure if the government bans use of
vehicles for less carbon emission, its us who’s going to be in disadvantage and
the criticizing will not stop.
Each one of fuels to this great problem, we must be a part
of solution too. Walk to your destination once a week, don’t leave the
refrigerator doors ajar at least for long, turn off coolers when you don’t
recognize them. Don’t waste food and electricity and conserve energy etc. these
small steps by many small people can contribute to decrease in carbon emission
managing the green house gas to some extent. This is the only way you can
become hero.
