A carbon negative country and going carbon neutral example to the world.



We experience climate change as we get the hot weather when we aren't suppose to get one and vise-versa. People complained about it but never went beyond that; so, many people don't know what carbon neutral is? Carbon neutral is balancing Carbon dioxide with carbon sink meaning a forest, ocean,or other natural environmental viewed terms of its ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere("Carbon sink" google dictionary). For example when you buy a car, plant a tree; it is carbon neutral as the greenhouse gas emitted by the car is absorbed by the tree that you have planted or even buying a Carbon free car is better. Instead of throwing plastics away,recycle them.These actions are simply carbon neutral.


Global warming caused by carbon dioxide freely roaming in the atmosphere acting as a blanket to the earth is one of the dangers of not taking into consideration of being carbon neutral. Life on earth depends on the light that we get from the sun but the layers of carbon dioxide which has covered us, reflects the light that we get from sun back to the earth causing global warming and destruction to the climate.So scientists have proved that, as we excess our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, more heat is trapped in the atmosphere slowly warming the earth. “CO2 survives in the atmosphere for a long time—up to many centuries—so its heat-trapping effects are compounded over time. Of the many heat-trapping gases, CO2 puts us at the greatest risk of irreversible changes if it continues to accumulate unabated in the atmosphere—as it is likely to do if the global economy remains dependent on fossil fuels for its energy needs. To put this in perspective, the carbon we put in the atmosphere today will literally determine not only our climate future but that of future generations as well             ( climate hot map ).” When carbon dioxide causes global warming, climate change lines up which helps in spreading air-bone disease. Followed by increase of sea level, hunger, and deaths. .

Nothing is impossible and especially when it is the result of what we did or do. Some countries have actually proved that going carbon neutral is possible and even carbon negative is not impossible. For example; Bhutan a country who is not only carbon neutral but also a carbon sink country is one of the few countries in the world to be carbon negative where the country actually has more carbon sink absorbents than the pollution source.“Good or bad, it's taken a couple of hundred years of industrial revolution to make the world what it is today and we can't switch from being energy-hungry to being clean-and-green overnight, no matter how serious global warming may seem (Chris Woodford).” At least some of us has already started taking initiatives like they actually hope to make the earth like it was centuries back. Going carbon neutral means choosing not to be victims of our actions anymore. It means getting fresh air and direct sunlight. It means experiencing the proper climate. Farmers being able to grow quality goods. 

It sure will take many hundreds of years to go green, if it took couple of years to make it go polluted but, what matters is that we starting taking initiatives and started working towards being green and going carbon neutral. Planing trees every year at least equal to the numbers of cars sold, stop from burning plastics and using more recyclable carry bags and so on. We people have choice to make right now, not any later than this and not earlier than this but RIGHT NOW! Hands on hands and let's work towards going carbon neutral for we all have and will always want the right weather in right season and nobody would want to die later for what we enjoy today! 

Lets go GREEN !!!

We don't remember how but writing, it just comes automatically.


Not very long ago, my husband; who then was my boyfriend,said " why do't you start writing? "  I asked him without realizing what he meant by that " about what?", "anything that interests you". Never at that time had I thought that writing actually would give me the best company.
Ignorance is what most of us could do when we really don't have clue of what we talk.Nothing inspired me.I would read, but I wouldn't dare to write down a word of my own except during English exams when I had to write essays of my own.
It wasn't until last week of march month that my husband particularly picked his interest in blogging inspired by Passu Diary(thank you Passang), that I started reading blogs and have finally started to think of about blogging.  Not very new to blogging but not so well known of the way how the blogging thing works too :).  I did do some college stuffs and blogging pages but still have long way to reach where I actually wants to take my blog to.
Passu diary, a much inspiring blogger and a great educator through social network; I thank you wholeheartedly and i hope you will inspire many more and I also hope that you would love what i write.
My husband, Ugyen Tashi, one man in the world whom I can always depend on for his support and infinity love, I thank you for opening my eye towards writing and for your wonderful support and inspiring speeches on how everything should be observed, understood, and so on.You are one of the kindest soul that i would ever come across.
Finally my readers, followers, families and friends, I sincerely hope that you would enjoy my blog and I will be able to convince how everything really matters for the happiness of individual and many other interesting stuffs.
