It’s 2010. IPL T20 tigers are chasing for runs and wickets in different stadiums catered across cities in India. Cricket supporters and lovers flocking around gallery, shouting and crying. In other side our honorable chief minister Smt. Sheila Dikshit of Delhi and Bollywood hearth throb Abhishek Bachchan looked serious on Global Warming. They launched WWF’s Earth Hour 2010 at a press conference organized at World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) office in New Delhi.
The above two scenario might look contradictory. Let me explain,
We are familiar with Global Warming/Climate Change. Reason behind this phenomenon is uncontrolled emission of green house gases. Power sectors in India contributes major parts of carbon emissions, amounting to 50%. And it is fact that 70-80% of India’s power sector produces power from coal, which is posing threat of very higher level of CO2 emission. (source: earth hour)
Earth Hour 2010 has been scheduled on 27th March at 8:30—9:30 PM IST, on the same day IPL 2010 also has a fixture of the match Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders at 8:00 PM IST at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali.Earth Hour - Logo
Now, the contradictory question begins.
