Be alarmed about your environment, Delhi. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the capital has the most polluted air in the world. Air pollution in our city is at the centre of media attention now, with some pointing out that the government has not done much about it. Also, it doesn't help to learn that 13 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in India.

Lastly, the environment is the one thing that will stay long after we are gone. If not for ourselves, shouldn't we ensure better life expectancy for future generations?

It is rather easy to point fingers at the government. And the author is guilty as charged of having done so.

But as a citizen of this ever-expanding, and yet beautiful city (no jokes), isn't it essential for us to make an effort in making things better?

We could do with less cars, and more parking. We could do with less littering, and more planting. We could do with less fire-crackers, and more family time.
