I got this idea reading thru "Shweet's" blog .... imagine a Male' where there is no Bikes, no car's, lorries or pick-up's... maybe an ambulance :P ... but imagine a Male' where people walked from one place to another (we already have such a day don't we?) ... there aren't that many places that people go in Male'... Kid's go to school, Adults to to work... and these places are like less than 10minutes walking distance...
We all know Maldives; its the land where people do "The art of doing nothing"... this would make one wonder... why the heck is everyone in a rush on their bikes and taxis???
Am sure once you get to the place where you are going... you would pretty much be doing nothing... So relax, let go off your bikes... might really help you save some money... reduce the potential risk of you being in an accident...and you be emitting a lot less Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere... and lets face it, the air you breath would be a lot cleaner than...
"walk and lets make others walk" :P
hehe..

maybe we should find horses and donkeys as u said in my comment box..hmmm ;)
horse carts..how romantic! lol
and thats how it was 40 years back. and i feel really strongly about maldivians giving up their flashy cars and fast bikes. male' is like 1km across, we dont even need taxis! (except for emergencies) more than bothering about this earth hour BS, they should start walking!
ReplyDeleteand yes i walk. i dont own a bike, car or whatever. i walk to work too. and i try to call a taxi when it rains, otherwise i use an umbrella. its healthy on so many levels. no traffic accidents, no noxious emissions, clears up your clogged arteries, makes you active. and all those parking spaces should be used to plant trees.
and if you're a person who's always in a rush, then sell your motorbike, or car and buy a bicycle.
oh and yeah, i agree that the maldivian blogosphere should initiate some kinda walking week thing. unite to save the planet guys!
ReplyDeletegood campaign fish,
ReplyDeleteIts totally true dho that we can go around in10 to 15 mins and walking is also a good exercise,
