Progress towards ....?

"पुणेकरांचे आभार :
पेट्रोल व डिझेलच्या मागणीत देशभरात सर्वाधिक वाढ पुण्यात होत आहे. राज्यातील काही जिल्ह्यांमध्ये इंधन टंचाई निर्माण झालेली असताना पुण्यात तशी स्थिती निर्माण झाली नाही."
This is what I read in Pune's leading news paper. I am highly surprised to know that someone congratulates Puneites for polluting the air more.. Well, this is an utter shame on us. Probably, even I do not have a right to say anything about pollution because even I owned a bike sometime..

There was another news regarding a proposed hike Rs. 10 hike in petrol, Rs. 5 diesel and Rs. 50 in cooking gas prizes. With this rate, I can picture us-common people spending a considerable amount of our incomes on gas.. And still, we will not be able to compensate on this expenditure since otherwise we will feel impaired!

I am pretty sure many wise people have already understood that the world is indeed heading towards its destruction at a faster rate than expected.. Global warming and exhausting resources may soon even cause wars, if the trend continues.. Is there any way out? Do we have any hope left?
