New York Times has been talking about Green Collar Jobs. I am sure as the need to go 'green' becomes more and more pressing newer green jobs will open up. But there is one question which I have been pondering over. Will all the carbon emissions saved be enough as long as we have fuel guzzling cars and a fuel guzzling lifestyle?
Even if you generate all the power needed for your home from the Sun, you are also doing a lot of things which will add up to the emissions. Plus, the industrialisation and construction activity that is going on is going to add more carbon to the atmosphere than what all the people on earth would save from going for alternative energy.
The only option before humanity is, weird as it may seem, go for radical lifestyle changes. And I believe if we don't do it fast, Nature will take it upon itself to do it in a far more violent manner.
