Dear Editor,
India was the 7th worst- hit country due to extreme air pollution and extreme rainfall in 2021 and it’s only been getting worse every year.We ’re racing towards further and further climate disasters and we need to pull the chainnow.Though we hoped it would not reach this point, climate wisdom has constantly advised us about the deadly consequences of climate change. But we ’ve caught the malefactor red- handed. The grim burning of fossil energies for energy and transportation has turned our metropolises in to poisonous gaschambers.In 2022, India was set up to be home to of the world’s 10 most business- congested metropolises. According to reports over two lakh Indians died from air pollution last time but this could have been prevented. Through the Detox City crusade, we’re working to impact the transportation systems across India, over the coming many years.However, we can demand better structure- better public transport, further green spaces, If further citizens borrow sustainable transportation. Eventually, these small but significant conduct will restate into metropolises that are cleaner, healthier, more equal and accessible to all citizens.We’re losing precious time in the fight for a safe and healthy future. No more chances left to take action and change the course of our earth.
