by Dr. Leo Rebello
Bill McKibben’s 350.org is an international grassroots campaign that aims to mobilize a global climate movement united by a common call to action.
350 is the number that leading scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Scientists measure carbon dioxide in «parts per million» (ppm), so 350ppm is the number humanity needs to get below as soon as possible to avoid runaway climate change. To get there, we need a
different kind of PPM — a «people powered movement» that is made of people in every corner of the planet. And teachers are the right people to create an awareness on this important subject.
Much before even the global warming or carbon footprints or carbon tax became known, as a holistic health expert, researcher and educator, I have been noticing the changes in consumption pattern and disease pattern from early eighties. Since we are trained to see the problem in its totality and give holistic solution, when I noticed that the quality of air in Bombay was changing, the oxygen level was going down, pollution was increasing, I started planting trees and teaching others to plant trees. In last 30 years, I have planted and caused others to plant thousands of trees, save mangroves and phytoplanktons.
I also educate people to save electricity consumption, to reduce cooking gas wastage, to do away with plastic bags, not to use fertilisers which make earth fallow, no body sprays, not to waste water, no noise, less detergents, no industrial effluents in the rivers, no antibiotics and other toxic drugs, which through the urine and faeces, mix with ground water, etc.
Individually and with other international organisations, I also work to end nuclear arms race, no HAARP technology, no Chemtrails, no Space wars, etc. which the world leaders do not talk about, as most of them are puppets of powers that be.
In my personal life, I have done the following things to reduce the carbon footprints
1.. No car since 1999. I use public transport.
2.. No Refrigerator.
3.. No Television.
4.. No mobile phone.
5.. No Air-conditioner.
6.. No microwave.
7.. No electric iron.
8.. No washing machine.
9.. Very sparing use of geyser.
10. No meat consumption (vegetarians produce less toxic gases, then meat eaters).
11. Walk, cycle, climb the stairs.
12. No conspicuous consumption.
Hereby, I am NOT trying to prove my importance, but show what an individual can do to save the earth, when the world leaders
themselves fail. And if that individual be the teacher, you can well imagine what an impact it will have on the impressionable minds
of the students. I always lead by action, as they say, walk the talk.
