This is a thought provoking heading; but as world leaders converge in Copenhagen to consider how to deal with global warming it is, probably, worthwhile to take a pause; and consider whether we are being environmentally friendly.
The talk is more about carbon, because it has been found that the rise in the amount of carbon gases released into the atmosphere increases world temperatures. Consider that with the fact that we cut a lot of trees! That's a recipe for disaster. Trees, by the way, use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. So, next time you cut trees, have this in mind.
On a related note, one of the ways Botswana can contribute to this green campaign is to improve our public transport system. That way, most of us would use public transport rather than our cars. Have you noticed that most of the times, you will find only one occupant in a car, whilst we experience terrible traffic jams in the morning.
What about having a mono-rail system? I mean Botswana's first underground railyway system. This will take passengers in an almost circular flow(around Gaborone) and drop them off at strategic points of the city. They can then connect to other modes of transport, to reach their workplaces.
