Today is 07.07.07

July 7, 2007

A very auspicious date. Its nice to remember that today the world is trying to commemorate and to publicize Awareness of the Environment. But now while doing this blog, I am listening to a noisy band in Tokyo. I dont think this is a good example of Conserving Energy. Maybe a day of silence or the whole world turning off their lights and electricity rather than Live Earth Concerts would have a better effect on the environment.

 

One concerns of the depletion of the earths resources is its effects on health.

 

With my relatives , for example, we have a succession of deaths due to Breast cancer. Two of my cousins died just months apart two years ago from the disease. Another cousin in law died this week also from the same ailment. My sister and a cousin has been battling the same ailment for years now. My sister told me that in her previous neighborhood in Canada, a number of her neighbors are suffering from breast cancer(apparently they lived near a power station before) and two of them have already died.

 

During our grandparents time, they have never heard of deaths due to c ancer but as the earth developed cancer has become a disease of progress.

 

Just thinking aloud…I hope the noise created by the concerts today would not create more noise pollution. They sure are having fun out there!!!
