Every year, we have a very hot summer. Many people all around Uzbekistan can not bear the hot weather as many of them work outdoors. Taxi drivers stay outside from morning until night to make money. Farmers work in their farms with the patience for their buyers to come and buy their organic products. About 95-96% of vendors are in need of money, that they come out to the big bazaar to sell their products. There are also scooter riders who bring out their scooters to the shore of the lake and tell everyone that a 1-minute ride costs 5000soums. And without a doubt, I can say that all of the given examples have at least 1 air conditioner in their house. ( I am sorry for bringing this theme up again, but I really do need help!) People are becoming so impatient that they are even ready to buy 5 or 6 conditioners for a 1 house. I can't get it!!! Do they want to show off and let everyone know that they are rich or are they getting really hot? Why are people becoming so careless? Why don't they think about our mother nature? Don't they know that the best future depends on them? Do they know that their boastfullness can be the very big causes of the very big air pollutions? Do they know that they are destroying our bright and eco-friendly future? Can they imagine that there are hotter places in the world like Sudan, India, Oman and much more? I really like the rain. I love playing and splashing under the pouring rain. About 2 days ago, we had tain in Tashkent. As always, I went out to play in the rain and I was so surprised to see that some people still had their conditioners on. The most interesting part for me was, that they also had their windows open. To tell the truth, we have only 1 air conditioner in our house. We only turn it on when my mother ( who had a big surgery ) can not bear the heat at all. We didn't have an air conditioner before, but we were told that my mom has to be in good condition. (Also, I am very thankful for India, its' people and especially its' doctors who saved my mother's life:) Anyways, we had a few guests about a week ago who came to see my mom. They were interested in why we don't have the air conditioner on. I explained everything I knew about it and got a little mad to see them laughing at me. They told me that there is no way for only one unused conditioner to make any difference in such a big country like Uzbekistan. Every day, rich people turn on every conditioner they have and poor people turn their fans on. Dearest members and ambassadors of Tunza Eco-generation, Is there any way I can prevent air pollution and convince people to use less energy? If there is, please feel free to share in the comments box below! P.S. Planting trees didn't help as only a few people volunteered to plant trees with me:(

Good input, Anthony. Xilola, I'm sad but happy to see your level of enthusiasm. Do your people admire gardens & flowers? If yes, then you try ornamental indoor gardens which are mostly very decorative and fun to work with.
Also, you can start school campaigns where you meet with the principal to discuss rising temperatures and talk to the students about energy efficiency and global warming.
Education is important, so try that.

Planting tree is still the best way to cope with hot weather as trees provide shade and also recycle air. If your tree planting campaign didn't work, dear Xilola, you should not despair, what I think you should do is to raise the awareness. Once more people get informed, I bet you, they will be willing to plant trees with you.
Another way of dealing with the heat is to build swimming pools where you can cool off every now and then. I think these are eco-friendly ways of dealing with the problem. Thank you and keep up your campaign.
