Our Children – What World Are We Leaving For Them?
September 7, 2008
Global Warming is a threat looming over Bangladesh. I have talked about this issue a few times and that Bangladesh as a nation needs to take steps to avert the impending threat as it has been revealed by Al Gore and his team of environmental experts. Recently I was browsing a few blog sites and came across this one Adhunika Blog where in the July 30th post they make a lot of valid points. What are we leaving for our children? What world? Even if Bangladesh survives the Global Warming threat, its own inhabitants are polluting the environment everyday.
From dumping trash into the waterways, factories billowing smoke into the air, the blaring horns from the cars as the drive through the city and villages. We face pollution every single day. I see the women and children suffering from skin disease begging on the street. Nobody wants to go near them. Literally, I get chills just looking at them.
There are solutions to the issue of garbage and the Dhaka city is making some efforts to centralize incinerators for garbage. Unfortunately, so far their efforts are focus in the old part of the city.

Bangladesh should be looking for Green solutions to many of its problems, beginning with pollution. Recently, I heard of a project in China where they are burning trash to generate electricity. The electricity generated is not from fossil fuel or carbon based so it is considered Green the same way using biofuel for cars is Green.
Bangladesh is a country on the brink of being under water due to Global Warming, shouldn’t it be looking to reduce the carbons in the air at home?
Bangladesh is has a rich history
