To Cycle or not to Cycle

Has anyone ever heard of going to school by a cycle? Well it's impossible in Delhi, and in our School, which is located on a mountain, it's even more impossible. For one, many people who earn a lot, prefer to send their children in a stylish and expensive car. There are other reasons why it is so impossible. Drivers in India, are extremely rash when they drive, and this leads to numerous car crashes every hour of everyday. There are still some places that use bicycles to go to school. I once went to Bongaigaon in Assam. It was a beautiful place, and it rained a lot. People either travelled on a bicycle, a rickshaw or a motorbike or scooter. It was quite rare to find a car around there! If one were to start a campaign about throwing cars, melting them for metal, and starting to cycle again, it would save a lot of fuel, which is a rare resource these days. I've noticed that the poorest of people are effectively doing their best to stop our world becoming a modern day hell without even knowing it, and yet, they aren't treated with Respect. These angels in disguise are Cycle-Rickshaw drivers and Ragpickers. So, how do we stop the car thing from manipulating our lives? If an old man and an old woman had a car, and a driver, throwor sell the car, and buy a rickshaw instead. There are other options too. Environmentally friendly cars. There is a new scorpio that a teacher of mine bought, and all though it is expensive, it saves fuel and the environment at the same time. But the environment isn't really a problem for rich men and women. It's more of a problem for the poor, who face global warming in there homes, with no running water or electricity. Most colonies, in India have generators, so nobody really knows how much electricity really goes for. If any of you know what the Earth hour is, it is an hour that the whole world switches off each light and fan and electrical appliance for one whole hour in unity. My mother had spoken to one of the housekeeping staff only two days before. And it was actually quite humourous because that lady was really confused. She had heard a rumour that in two days time, the entire world was to come to an end! My mother set the record straight, and told her about the Earth Hour. The lady then said "Alright, if we have any electricity, we'll switch off our lights and fans for the hour". I don't find it a joke that so many people are less privellaged with proper electricity rights. Therefore, if there is a light or a fan that we are not using, we switch it off immediately! The more electricity we save, the more fuel we save, and the less it is wasted.
