Save Power!
nirav April 19th, 2007
Mumbai is abuzz with drives to save electricity. We have faced more energy problems in the last one year, than last five years put together. I studied energy crisis, green house effect, global warming etcetra in school. Was scared to see The Day After Tomorrow and An Inconvenient Truth (of Al Gore).
Mumbai drains a lot of electricity. Reports say that Mumbai’s demand strains the supply. High levels are meeting to discuss the issues - to decide if the city will face more load shedding or not, and the supply to other parts of the state. And earlier government had said Mumbai will not face problems.
Amongst all this, Mumbaikars are getting more aware of the problems. Billboards are sporting “I will (save electricity), Mumbai will” ads. We are putting of lights when not needed, and we are switching off the television after watching.
Save Power! I will, Mumbai will!
