Copenhagen summit at your own place

SO, Copenhagen summit is finally over.We got to see more stubbornness of developed nations and basket full of promises that is not going to solve any immediate problem.Countries are too stringent on their issue and none is ready to budge to make this Earth some what more greener. Kyoto protocol may die and green technology will be a distant dream.Emissions are increasing with green house gases showing signs of making blanket on earth making it more hotter and less greener. Where as countries are showing improvement in declining rate of deforestation where forest cover has increased by 0.07 percent in india,on the other hand we have increased the emissions at much faster rate scaling on 20-30 percent. If this rate continues we will definitely have to bow down to hammer of nature with increased floods, droughts, el nino's and katrinas. Melting glaciers are already dangerous signs making picture very clear but we have 15 days summits where bargains are being made to buy carbon credits,passing of green technology becomes very difficult and there is only blame game between developed and developing nations.
Is anything other than maintaining the equilibrium of Earth more important??Why are countries not ready to decrease their emissions????Why countries are hesitating in passing green technology to poorer nations???I have no political knowledge but to me 15 day drama at Copenhagen seemed to be purely insane and 'We can'(read Obama) now seems 'We cannot'.Leave apart making this Earth better Place for our future generations,first, we have to make sure that we can survive. In metropolitan cities we breathe smoke and drink contaminated water which can surely land one on a hospital bed.
So without being too cynical about everything lets start a copenhagen summit at our own homes, in our own complexes and localities. The idea is when each one will contribute it will make a big diference and will mark a new beginning.From now onwards everyday i will come up with few small suggestions that might sound very small for such a big issue but once it starts getting executed the results will definitely come forward. It will require a bit of sacrifice but that is worth of it. I will also mention the name of organizations which are working in their own respective manner to improve this place and make it a better one to live.

Todays tips:
Tune your car to cut air pollution:
1)Maintenance and service at regular intervals helps reduce the amount of emissions.
2)Oil change at recommended time interval is also essential. Change the oil even if the car is unused for several months. Avoid using low grade oil and lubricant.
3)Drive the car at a steady speed. This improves the fuel economy of the car. High fuel efficiency means less fuel consumption and less emissions.
4)Tyre pressure also plays a vital role in fuel consumption. Proper inflation is very necessary to run the car smoothly or else the car wheels will simply drag on the road. This requires more fuel and henceforth, more emissions. So, check wheel alignment and tyre pressure at regular intervals.
5)Don’t idle the car for more than two minutes. Switch off the engine if the car is stopped for a couple of minutes. Also reduce engine warm up time during winters. Idling for longer periods result in excessive engine wear which takes in more fuel for combustion and expels more pollutants.
6)If possible combine car trips. If there are two people travelling from the same place to the same destination, they can use the same car for commuting. This will at least reduce one car on road. One plus one becomes two and slowly the number will increase to ten and hundred out of the thousand cars running on road.
7)Sweep away the dirt from the carburetor and adjust the idling speed at every 3000 kms.
8)have a well fitted fuel cap on your car to avoid the unnecessary release of fumes from your petrol tank into the air where they can be breathed in and contribute to photochemical smog.
9)think about converting to Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG). This will not only reduce your contribution to air pollution, but is also more cost effective.
