It is not one country to be blamed, we all have to reduce and cut the Carbon footprints before it is too late. I am not scientist but Nuclear plants though are better option but it still poses threat to environment extraction of resources leads to threat and then we have seen fukushima nuclear disaster after Chernobyl disaster which was classified level 7 on scale [Read : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disa...] and disposal of radioactive materials. There is a recent article i came across which shows how testing nuclear bomb, even after decades posing a serious threat [https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/04/nuclear-fallout-show...] So i agree totally agree that now is the time and we have to be quick investing, installing renewable energy and encourage our coming generation to participate in it, otherwise we are screwed. Also, i would really encourage everyone to save and conserve energy. Doing our small bit makes a big difference

Ironically situation in india for time being is worrisome and adding to our worry is this new report [https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-outbreak/story/coronav...] Millennials are the group of people who have to leave homes for earning and by seeing the declining numbers there became bit lenient and stopped following appropriate covid-19 behavior and the new mutants which were detected added fuel to the fire and things messed up and we are seeing massive surge now. There is one thing which is clear now that we haven't had so called 'herd immunity'. In fact there have been lot of cases being reported where people are already being vaccinated [https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/shashi-tharoor-covid-positiv...] be it pfizer or Covishield or any other vaccine, but i am just hoping that it will atleast moderate the impact of the Covid virus.

This article draw's the clear gap of concentration of wealth between the top , middle and lower. I think more than hard-work, intelligence and money itself there are two more factors which i would say if does not work or are in your favor i bet you cannot succeed and that is LUCK and DESTINY (Note - I am not saying that these are the ONLY FACTOR, but for sure are the important factors). There are lot of people who literally put their effort, time , money and all hard-work to make things happen but fails coz either their luck does not work/ favor them or the success they were chasing was not written in their DESTINY. We have fail stories as well in our society but only success stories gets printed (despite of some failures they must have faced to achieve that success). You see brothers started their journey but where are they today. https://www.diffen.com/difference/Anil_Ambani_vs_Mukesh_Amba... keep working, keep struggling , be motivated let the nature decide. Hoping for the better world with less suffering and more happiness

Surprise to see that we are pointing and blaming one chemical only here. PFAS, a class of more than 4,000 different chemicals, is everywhere [https://on.natgeo.com/2Q2UtMS] food, water we drink and even in our blood. We don't even know when and how we are consuming it directly or indirectly. Do we have any kind of full proof study about all 4000 chemicals, that how these chemicals would be affecting our health! I think nature has already been polluted/damaged to an extent which is kind-a irreversible. Hoping for the better world.

No one talks about the biggest disadvantage of EVs which is extraction of lithium which is a threat to environment and people who are involved in it. Plus a major disadvantage is where these dead batteries end up! land fills which again is biggest threat to environment. Even batteries are recyclable but up to what extent one day they will end up in landfills [https://www.res-ev.co.uk/problems-with-ev/#:~:text=One%20of%....] . There are some other options like hydrogen powered cars which do not harm environment any way, i think more research should be done to promote them or any other absolutely cleaner biofuel powered cars
