"Can you afford to live on moon?" - Sanjay Khanduri 
By Joginder Tuteja, October 31, 2007 - 15:00 IST
Director of 1:40 Ki Last Local, Sanjay Khanduri, is on a different route currently. He has now joined a movement which is addressing
the issue of global warming and aiming at saving the earth by the hour!!!
As a part of the Mumbai based initiative, Sanjay is acting as a forerunner in his endeavor to spread awareness about global warming.
December 15th 2007 is the day when the movement intends to getting most of the cities in India to unplug their TV sets, Fridges,
Microwaves, Fans and Lights for one hour from 7:30pm - 8:30pm.
Says Khanduri, "According to Al Gore's docu-presentation - An Inconvenient Truth - we've got 8 years till the effects of global warming and
the harm we're doing to the world can be reversed. Now 8 years are well within our life times, aren't they?"
Stating further that all city residents can work together in spreading awareness about this movement, global warming is an enemy which has
already been there for a while and is already wreaking havoc.
The movement is taking the initiative heads on with number of people in Mumbai getting together to spread awareness about global
warming. Their common goal? Unplug!
Educates Khanduri, "The objective to join the movement is just a sense of responsibility towards the place I live in. We are seeing drastic
change in temperatures and weather every passing year. Dubai is snowing and UK is flooding. Temperature is increasing every passing day
pushing winters small to smaller."
Though the movement is currently Mumbai centric, it's participants have good reasons to believe that it would find it's way in other major
cities like Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Haryana, Gurgaon, Goa etc.
Sanjay Khanduri adds, "We know all this and talk everyday trying to show how threateningly amazing it is but do nothing to help the
situation. So I chose to be a part of group which is doing something about it and do what they ask me to do. It's not marathon I need to
run."
"Just get off the power for an hour and surely that much anyone responsible should do for the love of the planet they live on. Don't do that
only if you afford to live on moon," concludes Khanduri.
Remember the date and time: 15th December, 7:30pm - 8:30pm. It's your planet. And you can make a difference.
