Aandhi toofan ki wajah se kareeb 12-13 ghantey light nahi aayi hamara light hour nahi light night ban gayi

Bijli Vibhag aur upar wale ko bhi pata hai 50% se bhi kam log light band karenge isi vajah se unhone khud hi light off karwa di..........

Is it all true to the extent its projected?

For the true spirits of movement venue should be Amazon's forests or Sahara desert with no light connection and I guess world leaders would land there with private jets[ofcourse jets without producing dangerous emmissons sensitive to ozone layer ] in tribal cloths. Its ironical and funny to know that how handful of metros/sub-metros people are being fooled over funny issues by pseudo-enviornmentalists. Climate-change and disturbances in sun are natural phenomenons not thrown up by garbage of humanity.Ofcourse human activities leads to effects on enviornment but not up to the intensity of climate change unless nuclear bombs explode. Morever, global-warming movement has been proved as a swindler.It ofcourse appears(projected) as a 'moral-duty' but more of it is fabricated.

This is really a valid point raised by Samar bhai. Same issues were raised by Michael Crichton in his novel "State of fear" which is a fiction but all the data(about climate change and global warming) used is true and comes from recognized institutions of the stature of NASA.

He blasts all this hoopla created around global warming as a propaganda by governments and Million dollar NGO's to create panic amongst people so that they keep fetching millions of public money. He shows through data analysis(which is true) that over the past century there is not a drastic change in the climate as claimed and shows all the manipulations that are done to create a "STATE OF FEAR".

It was a fialure in mumbai

Although there were lots of talk about this in Metros. But I observed it in mumbai. It was just a topic of discussion amlong people but hardly few people followed this initiative.

Bhai main to apne ghar ki sab light off karke apne 4ro roommates ko saath leke bahar POWAI LAKE pe jaake baith gaya tha. Wahan se jab nazar ghuma ke dekha to kisi bhi padhe likhe bhaiyon ke ghar ki light off nahi thi.



It was a complete failure in mumbai.

I dont know about other cities.
