Environmental activism is getting interesting. There is more action than just slogan campaigns. There was Earth Day where world went dark for an hour and now World Carfree Day was celebrated on September 22. The campaign urging people to leave cars in garages for one day is very innovative. Do check out the campaign and response on World Carfree Network.

There has been enough talk of policy change and implementation of environmental laws but there has to be an effort at each individual level for bringing down pollution level and toxic fumes which are choking city residents. Modern life is become absurd. Instead of walking miles on treadmills and cycling in gyms to keep fit people can actually choose to walk miles and cycle down every day. This will cut down hospital bills too. Health benefits of walking or cycling are immense and also one will feel good for not adding to the global warming. Green conscience must grow. Such campaigns will surely help.

Citizens can demand better public transport, cycling lanes, pedestrian walks and thus save choking, dying cities. Many a cities like Amsterdam are cyclists’ paradise. Hope eco-friendly cycle becomes trendy again.
