Fresh air

Whenever we imagine of fresh air, we automatically think of pollution. As if they are synonymous, meaning one and the same. Due to industrialization in the past few decades, things have never been the same. Previously people indulged in agriculture, now they are setting up more industries in an attempt to change and challenge the life style of the common men like us.

I live in a city. As we all know a city’s life is full of hum-drum. Cars, trucks, buses and lorries rule the roads. Even though there are Euro II and Euro III vehicles being introduced, the disaster caused by the earlier vehicles cannot be put under the carpet. The damage is already done; we are breathing stale air. Now, from here, we can promise to reduce any further pollution that we have spread or at least find an alternative to our daily travel. Trains and Public Transport are better for any city. We usually underestimate the power of such vehicles. Technologies are coming to reduce pollution, but they are expensive, and they cannot be executed without further economical steps. We cannot remove the currently running vehicle with new ones. The task is impossible. How can we consider deliberately the cost incurred due to such a change.

Let us use scooters, bikes, cycles, or walk if the travel is near by. By doing so we can at least face the future generations who will ask us questions for which we have no answers for and already done the damage.
