Green Living Technologies Q&A: will we just keep talking and do nothing?

Question by thehighlander2001: will we just keep talking and do nothing?
I am from North India..and we have had the worst summer and failed monsoon in 2009.

The power situation in peak summer months April to July has made even the hardiest soul cry in my region.My town is known for the most irresponsible and illegal use of ACs that one can imagine..almost all households use ACs beyond their declared and sanctioned loads.So the result is day times are fine ..if there are no cuts that is..but come evening and the clock strike 10…either its a break down for hrs on end or if it isnt abreak down..the Voltage plays a game of going from 220 to 100 and then suddenly 300..and this continues till the early hrs when it gets cooler and ACs are switched off

many have had compressors gone bad due to this

my ques is very simple..Will we ever ACTUALLY FOLLOW and do something regarding this..we have all studied and learnt abt the green living techniques from vasried sources..and some are actually very very good for urban life..but will we ever see the use of those things ever…Govts can and should take strict measures..but come cooler months and we seem to just forget it all

in my town,rain water harvesting has been made compulsory in all new houses approved…but those are only 5% of the dwellings..and if u ask some one like father who owns our house to modify his place..he will give u a lecture on hard work and kick u away..its not just abt him its abt the fact that 90% house owners here are above 65 and they are the worlds biggest obstacle to change that i have experienced

i have also done extensive research on urban green living technologies and have many ideas for urban homes..so if ur interested u can write to me at

atul292@gmail.com

friends..lets make this a movement..change 10 houses in ur circle to green living…that should be the first goal

good luck
someone turned it on me

i have done my bit starting 2007 and i am off grid for the most part now

i wish i could start a movement thats all
