A realistic approach - Green Pocket initiative

Are we worried about Global Warming, Climate change, pollution and mother earth, obviously yes. As a matter of fact, we all know the evils of over utilization of natural resources but at the same time, the alternatives are neither pocket friendly nor convenient some time. A place like Gurgaon I can plan to use public transport for my daily commutation requirements, but public transport does not seems to be supportive towards my wish to save fuel. Metro rail is convenient  but last mile connectivity(Never Say Finish rapid metro) and "Getting Sand witched"  feeling makes me refrain from this option, as well during peak hours. Cycling to office may be a great option for dare devils, who wants to become "Gold Coins" in Gurgaon  version of Temple Run  "Gurgaon Run". Never say die, I'd tried to walk(at least to the nearest Bus Terminal from office) and collected 2 bruise from "Touchy" Autos and a friendly hit from a biker, enjoying his right of way on the wrong side of the road.

There is a general saying " Something, tasty will not be healthy. Something healthy may not be tasty" but I found something which is tasty and healthy at the same time. I've started commuting between Home and office using Folksvagn. Now I am driving twice in a week only and the fuel cost is down by half, additionally found lots of new friends. together we are contributing towards Mother Earth, in a simple and cost effective way. Before talking theories about all the terms mentioned in first line, we should start practicing, ourselves.
