Red and Green


Step on the road , pick any transportation and start - on the way you happen to meet something really frustrating and equally inevitable always – the traffic signals. Cover just 5 of them and quite comfortably notice something , very common and not quite palatable , at each of the signals - It’s the habit of majority of the people not to stop the engine – be it a bike , a car or a bus , at the Red light.

Most of the traffic signals are equipped with Timers nowadays - vividly displaying how long will the Red lights be put on . This gives ample scope to arrange shutting down the machine. But only a few care. We talk about Green Earth and we don’t pay heed to the Red !

This is not about the ever-rising Petrol or Diesel price hike . Rather about the Natural resources dwindling at an alarming rate ! We can not imagine how big positive impact and difference would be made by shutting the machine for even 30 seconds. We save energy , money as well less pollute the environment..

The planet deserves at the least this little attention from our side for sure !
