Hi guys,
I have got a abstract from a local news paper for you..
" A Somerset farmer has converted his Jag so it runs on rotting apple fumes. Henry Hobhous,52,of the UK packs two underground tanks full of apples and collects the methane gas produced as they rot. The car now runs on the methane and costs around 40paise a litre. Henry says the 145mph car gains 10 per cent in power by running on compressed methane and still returns around 28 mpg. Hobhouse says:'I'm very concerned about the green issues. We've got to be taking responsibilty for our own actions on a local level.' He plans to install two small methane-making plans at his farm now."
Sounds nice... But the BIG question is HOW MANY PEOPLE are there in this world who take responsibilty for their action with regard to the planet they live on???
Most of us still are limited to expolit mother nature for our own selfish cause and also create a threat to all the living things on the planet??
How long MAN can survive by spoiling this planet???
Lets contribute individual point of views... and who knows..some of us can just get really inspired and take some commited actions for the mankind and Life itself
