Are you a weed ?

What makes me write this post is the question "who is actually causing pollution and in turn responsible for global Warming".
I was travelling in BMTC bus from Marathally to Banashankari to my office on Monday morning.It was not a pleasant because there was huge traffic and hell lot of pollution.Who wants to get indulged in pollution early morning. The roads were so much jammed i could only see cars n cars. It was like in a showroom all were standing one behind the other.Such a nice cars my eyes caught of so many brand new i10 cars. There were also many huge cars scorpio,honda city (i-vtec) . Maruti 800, santro, skoda, i20, wagon R and many others. Bangalore has really changed. And I could see only one person in a cars who is driving.It looked like all were software engineers, in formal shirts and those rope around their neck. And at 9:30 whom should i expect in this IT capital.Since I was somewhere near sarjapur where many Tech parks are build up,I can easily take it for granted. Just imagine car per person. Thats the reason it took me around 1.5hrs to travel just 20 kms.
Good India is competing with developed nations, where even a cleaner has a car. I mean competing only in number. Imagine Indian cleaners, laborers having cars. Amazing thing is there wont be any more road for them and car wont move beyond 10 kms..I would would have taken 3 to 4 hrs to come to office. Dont ask about parking, they roof tops of cars become footpaths. But purpose of people travelling in car is served. Thats what i noticed today, huge car and single commutator.
Rich people are mostly responsible for all this panic.I really wonder all big technocrats speak of going green and no way they care for it. I know so many people bring as big cars as their 50 times their size. why dont they take shuttle if they really want to go green. For this matter
they pollute by so many ways. I see all the things which are meant for luxury are affecting us. I list below which i know is below
Rich vs Poor
Car ----Public Transport
Air conditioning ----Fan
Fridge/oven---- Consume fresh
Huge bunglow( not even 30pc occupency)---- Average 101pc occupancy
Water unlimited ----Water shortage
Consumption(more wastage) ----As much required
More fuel consumtion ----Struggling for required amount
More electricity to light up all thier things ----More worried about Electricity bill
have more hit the gym---- Malnutritioned
More e-waste ----No scope
and many more.Will add as when i get more
Learn to thank every other person who is use by public transport rather than looking them down. So never blame poor people or curse them for what they are, because they are actually doing the balancing act.
They are the green crops and you are the weed .Same way as green plants do the balancing act.
