Climate positives

April 13, 2020

Due to the recent catastrophic Covid-19 pandemic, there is a new change observed in the environment of earth. In most of the nations that are observing lockdowns and restrictions on movements of people, there is a visible change observed in the environment. The busy streets and main roads that were once jammed during rush hours with automobiles, a major source of hydrocarbons polluting the environment are now empty. Tourist spots, which were once crowded by travelers, are now deserted.

This unusual clarity is due to the lack of traffic. The huge reduction in the number of tourists and workers in the city has also made the city look cleaner than ever. Hopefully, the chaos created by the pandemic will lead to a new global order with an ideal shift in how we look at development and security by using new and creative ways of building a greener, safer and more prosperous future for all of us.
