Transcript of Stop killing your child - What next
Hi there !
You're here because you have decided to stopkilling your child with your automobile exhaust.
Here's what you can do next.
Step 1 – Do what you have to do
You can reduce your own contribution to the pollutionthat is killing your child, right now.
Reduce the use of your personal car or 2-wheelerto a minimum. Switch to sustainable transport instead.
Sustainable transport =Public transport + Cycling + Walking
Ideally, take a Bus OR Walk OR Cycle.When these are not possible, use an Auto or a Taxi.
Great ! You've solved the problem in your ownhome.
What about the pollution from the vehicles ofyour friends, your relatives, colleagues at work ?
You can reduce this too !
Step 2 – Persuade others
Simple !
Make your own presentation. Modify the originalpresentation - change the personal parts ofthe story to your story, health problemscaused by pollution to you and your loved ones.
Use your presentation (or the original one) to convince- your friends and relatives- parents in your children's school- colleagues at work
Spread the presentation on Facebook, Twitter, Email, etc.
How ?
Great ! You've personally reduced thepollution that is killing your child, and you'repersuading other people you know.
The next job is to persuade the government toimprove facilities for sustainable transport- improve the bus system- implement the commuter rail system,- improve facilities for cycling- improve facilities for walking.
Step 3 – Persuade the government
No, you're not !
Get together with other people who want to stop killingtheir children, at work, in your locality.
Show the presentation to your local governmentrepresentatives – your Corporator, MLA, MP. Keepasking them periodically what they have done.
At election time, when people come to ask for yourvote, ask what they are going to do about sustainabletransport.
How ? I'm just a powerless individual !
We, together have the power
You are not alone in this fight !
Imagine our power if lakhs of parents decide tochange things, each doing whatever is in theirpower, to:1. Switch to sustainable transport2. Persuade others3. Persuade the government
All we have to do is to forget about what othersare doing or not doing, and go ahead and do ourbit.
