At a time when the Western World is waking up to the horrors of the non-biodegradable stuff like plastic carrier bags and moving to eco-friendly stuff, we ditch our old-newspaper-bags and move to plastic ones.<br/>*sigh*<br/>Low cost budget flying is my next peeve. Like you said, it costs less to fly to London that to Delhi. Can you imagine what we pay in terms of carbon emissions? <br/>*double sigh* Well, apu, I agree with u totally on this one - aping the West blindly gets my goat!

I have nothing against the west, but for example, blindly using tissue to wipe everything - use and throw substances that will not degrade for years, these practices are being seen as "modern". When earlier, we would have used cloth towels that could have been hundreds of times post washing. In certain areas such as sanitary towels, yes, the old practices arent hygienic or convenient, but in many areas, I think we dont stop to think anymore whether we really need to ape the western model of consumption Infact, one concern I have is, that many of us in India increasingly seem to ape the “Western” lifestyle unthinkingly.

Shark - it isn’t just the increase in temperature that is worrying. it is the pollution and all the assorted trappings of a rapidly advancing society that are scary.
