00:00 What are your thoughts on recycling?
00:03 You see, when you recycle, what is it that you do?
00:05 Not that recycling is a bad thing to do. I'm all for recycling.
00:08 When you recycle, you relieve yourself of the guilt of your carbon footprint.
00:13 Again, I admit that the carbon footprint of the average individual,
00:16 especially the average Indian individual, is anyway not that big.
00:20 But still, when you recycle, you console yourself that you have done your bit.
00:24 Your center, the very center of consumption does not change.
00:27 But you have found out a very economical way, dare I say cheap,
00:31 to relieve yourself of your inner guilt.
00:33 No, I'm a nice man. What have I done?
00:35 You know, I recycle. I do not use much plastic.
00:38 You know, when I'm going out, I take care to switch off that 10 watts bulb.
00:44 Not 10 watts bulb.
00:45 And you are certifying yourself as a proper individual
00:48 just because you take these measures.
00:50 Doesn't help much. The center remains the same.
00:53 Unless there is a shift in the center,
00:54 a solution to the problem of climate change is not possible.
