The internet is rife with rumours that my next film is called Global Cool with Tony Blair and Sienna Miller in the lead. Actually 'Global Cool' is an organization that is dedicated to bringing the message of Global Warming to the youth. Hopefully we can make energy conservation, water conservation etc a fun thing to do, and a social activity. Sienna Miller, Tony Blair and I are all members of this organization....
We did a very short film with Amitabh, Tony Blair and Sienna Miller as a little stunt, and showed it at the Iafa awards in Yorkshire. To draw people's attention to Global Warming. Didn't realize that the little film would get so much attention. Even the Times of India ran a headline article with this as my next film !
So the stunt worked, I mean overworked !!
But really, while we all curse the corporate world and goverments for polluting our world, the statistics show that all of us individually can make a real real difference. Simple things like :
switching off lights, using more energy efficient light bulbs, not keeping electrical equipment on stand by
Turning off taps. My 6 yr old daughter chided me for keeping the tap running while I brushed my teeth. She learnt that at school. Thethe most water efficient way of bathing is the traditional Indian bucket bath !
Use the car only when you absolutely need to. Walk if you can, or use your bicycle, or public transport. Get your kids to use the school bus rather than being driven. Join carpools.
Don't keep the car running just to keep the airconditioning going
flying less ??
Hey I am just being simplistic, I know, but when u begin to make a list, u realize how simple it really is. All we need to be is aware. And like people on diets, we all need to be on energy and water usage diets.
You think we should all compile a list of things by which we can all be part of this movement ?
