Leaked resolution to be passed on much hyped underwater cabinet meeting of the Maldives.
[…]
1. All government officers (specially ministers) and school children use carbon-free transportation to come to work or school. (They could bicycle, walk or even car-pool in the worst case). At least once a week (Thursdays).
2. To hold future cabinet meetings (and other meetings) in spaces with no air-conditioning. (This could be in open spaces such as the rooftop gardens or courtyards of their office buildings.) At least once a week (Thursdays).
3. All government officers and school children to stop ironing clothes. (Money saved on electricity bill from this can be used to buy a personal solar panel for themselves). At least once a week (Thursdays).
4. All the organisers of ‘green’ publicity events resort to carbon-free transportation systems, and none air-conditioned rooms (at least for the meetings regarding the cause) as much as possible. Because riding a bike for TV and riding motorcycle all other times gives mixed messages, specially in small island nations.
