I'm the Change

January has crossed half-way.

Strength of new year resolutions is slowly fading away and people are getting back to the routine excuses. Some are heading towards it if not there yet. Look around. What has changed?

People are captivated with the latest transfer window deals in the soccer world. Dolores O'Riordan died and half of the world is mourning. So far Mr. Trump was the concern, now his real estate is the worry. Funny how people care about the people they don't care for. Hawaii missile false alarm caused huge terror, because they didn't have much time to seek shelter. Had they had many years, it wouldn't have caused panic. Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency are the buzz words and there are studies on how it will hurt bitcoin "if" china shut down mining. Australia experienced the hottest day at 47.3C whereas thermometer broke due to extreme cold temperature of -67C at Siberia which is one of the lowest ever since. Another oil tanker sank off China coast.

However, there are good news too. Jordan is taking action against animal mistreatment and plastic-free stores are making to news headlines on The Guardian. From this year, China has decided to stop importing a wide range of plastic and other wastes. However, interestingly, The Guardian's reporting team is worried about where "Developed countries" will dump their waste instead they should suggest how those countries should reduce creating waste. Another relieving news is that London has decided to go electric with all new black cabs and Europe is getting stricter at emission and energy efficiency front. Britain is all set for greenest year ever and few other countries are also moving in that direction.

But none of the biggest organizations has yet planned to work on population control. We must keep in mind that unless the demand is reduced, question of supply will remain. We should be worried that chocolate "may" go extinct in 40 years if not for 200 to 2000 species going extinct every year. Extinction of plants and animals is at 1,000 to 10,000 times the rate it should be, because of us.

BBC remembered "Sir" Roger Moore and John Noakes on New Year's morning. Time may come when there won't be anyone to broadcast the news about human extinction. Forget about remembering us. I would like to request to BBC team to remind whole world every morning that we are responsible for the change. And we should make sure it is good. We can start with restricting ourselves to one child. Can we do this? I believe it is possible. I am committed to it.

"I feel responsible for the chaos around the world. I am ready to walk on the right path. I will bear up to maximum one child. This is my contribution to our coming generations to give them a better life amidst the blossoming nature. I'm the change."

People working for women empowerment, this is the opportunity for you. Now, only women have power to save the world. It has been declared that no amount of tree plantation can save this planet. We have crossed that line.

Women of my planet, I need your support.

Would you save this world please?

Future of my Dream

This is year - 2090.

We have around 2.5 billion people living on this planet. This could happen because our ancestors reduced the rate of increase in population. This all started in 2018 when our ancestors realized that they were close to kill all the species of the planet, including themselves, because of harnessing too much resources to meet their needs and greed. There was even a universal body called "United Nations", to guide and help people to make their world better. But that body's vision was limited to only humans. They had defined "Sustainability Goals" for humans and for them, priority of life on earth and that of on land came at number 14th and 15th respectively. Such surprising were the leading governing bodies of our planet at that time!

Then something interesting happened. From somewhere in eastern world, people started realizing that if they knew the root-cause, and if nobody else was ready to work on it, they should. There was a guy who started spreading the message around. His logic was simple. In 2018, there were approximately 2.4 billion adult women in the world out of total population of almost 8 billion. He suggested that if those 2.4 billion women resolved to limit the child-birth to one, then the next generation will have lesser population than their predecessors. And similarly, if their next generation followed the suit, they can bring down the number further. He started this initiative by committing to have only 1 child himself, of course with his wife's consent. He continued to patiently live with this purpose of his and kept spreading message. He faced the challenges from family, societies, castes, religions, and nations. But he knew he needed to save people, and this planet. He wanted to prevent the grave danger of killing all the species because of their own actions. At that time, very few people knew that 50% of the oxygen of the air was produced from the oceans. And because of global warming, corals were dying. Also, our ancestors had found out that there was millions of tons of methane gas reserved in the glaciers. That methane gas was about to get liberated in the atmosphere if they didn't control global warming. So this guy started educating people to make them aware about the impacts of their actions. And that is why we are alive today. Hadn't our ancestors sacrificed their wishes of having a bigger family and reduced pollution and waste, we would have perished by now. Thanks to them we are alive today, living such a happy family life full of luxuries.

Today, we have an autonomous systems of robots and artificial intelligence. These systems are to serve people, save other species and conserve nature. These systems are fueled by solar power. In 2 minutes, our earth gets energy from sun rays equivalent to all the energy that used to be consumed in 2018 for the whole year by the whole world. I think our ancestors did the right thing by making these systems solar powered. It is to fulfill all the requirements of the planet. It produces products for daily use, provides services of all kinds from household chores to sweeping roads, suffices energy requirements, provides transportation, etc. etc., and it goes without saying that everything is solar powered.

We humans don't work. Our ancestors used to use money for all kinds of transactions. We use carbon foot-print (CFP) as a currency. Central AI has a standard formula. Based on the population on the planet, it drills down the maximum value of CFP one can use, per family. So if you have more children, CFP value per person is less in your family. If your CFP value is less for the year, you get to use limited facilities of transportation, energy consumption, and so on. That way, we keep check on the pollution and prevent ourselves from making major mistakes. We also award families who use the minimum CFP units which ultimately means conserving environment.

Since these automated systems do everything for us, we get time to innovate. We enhance these systems and robots every now and then. We spend a lot of time with family and friends. We share our ideas freely as now we have only one religion on this planet - Nature. Since we do not have to earn like our ancestors, and people are treated equally via a standard, unbiased system, there is so much joy around here. People are aware that their lives are the result of their own actions and is not dependent on fate or God or anyone else. That is why people take ownership of their lives and are not jealous of others. In fact, people help each other more and more. We explore art, music, dance, sculpting and other creative options. We have now learned to balance the use of both right and left brain. Also, since there is not much to do for us, people are directed towards spirituality. We are very close to understand the concept of the Sanskrit Shloka:

" Om Purnam-Adah, Poornam-idam, Poornaat-Poornam-Udachyate,

Poornasya, Poornam-Aadaaya, Poornam-Eva-Avashishyate "

Today, variety of species are thriving on this planet. Mother Nature is blossoming at her best. What the various nations dreamt in the past about equality, we have achieved that for the whole world! For this, I give the credit to our ancestors. It is because of them that the population could be reduced and we could see this day. Reduced population has also helped in better administration, governance, allocation of resources and services for betterment of everyone.

They made mistakes and learnt from it. They have taught us to walk on the right path instead of the easier one. They have set an unparalleled example before us with their actions. Their united actions are the reason we are united today. Our ancestors dreamt of this beautiful day for us, and it's because of them that we are living it today. No matter how much grateful we feel towards them, it would be insufficient. We are committed to live on the path of love and service they have shown us.

Their roots have given us the wings.

They are Gods to us.
