With the oil rates flaring to 140 Dollars a barrel we just can not afford to waste this precious commodity. And who knows this will even go still higher to may be 200 Dollars by year-end when the winter sets in and the demand increases.
The only option left is saving fuel.
When we travel we should really weigh our options - is it necessary?
I would also suggest that we should adopt better road sense while driving. The other day I was driving in a post colony of Delhi and got stuck in jam for more than 20 minutes. You know why, because a few smart ones tried to overtake from the lanes that were meant for inward drive. These few thought that they would save time by taking the easy path. However, courtesy these smart ones hundreds of travellers lost a lot of time and precious fuel. Have we ever considered that may be by this irresponsible attitude of a few some one might have missed an important appointment, or some flight, or even reached late to the hospital.
And to the authorities I would like to call upon and ask them to take note of the bad roads which hamper proper driving and add to the congestion on roads. This leads to the increase of fuel consumption. No doubt, our rich contrymen can pay for the extra fuel, cost on wear and tear of the vehicle (I am not mentioning the extra time that we have to use for traversing as we all have so much of it) but we are adding to the problem of conservation of energy.
Friends, we will really have to wake up and each one of us can contribute our bit to save this environment and make a better place to live in for the generations to come.

REDUCE CONSUMPTION, VOW ON ENVIRONMENT DAY
5th June is the Environment Day - one would find articles after articles in the newspapers as to what is happening to the environment, how we are spoiling it, how we can save it and so on.
I feel the only sure shot way to save the environment is to reduce consumption. Reduce consumption of what? Well, everything. How about using a little less water or a little less electricity or a little less fuel and taking a vow today unnecessary things will not be bought. I know what I am suggesting will not be liked by the people in the business of manufacturing or selling, I know by doing this the GDP may come down but what is more important - to see business growing or to stay alive.
How about telling your child,'do not buy this as it is not very important and you may save the environment a little?' How about the child, realising all this, saying to the parent 'Ma, Paa I can do without this?'
Share your thoughts - talk about it with family and friends. Think about the generations to come - what sort of world we want to leave for them?
