[Gambas-user] [SPAM] Airtel: Switch off Diesel

[ifrbose at ...626...]

   Hi mailing list for gambas users,
   I just signed a petition opposing Airtel's use of dirty diesel energy to
   power their cell phone towers.
   Please read the mail below and take action.

   Dear friends,
   Thanks to the telecommunications sector, every new call and SMS is hurting
   our environment. Lakhs of massive mobile network towers in our country run
   on dirty diesel.
   Airtel is the market leader and trend-setter of the Indian telecom industry.
   If we get them to switch to renewable energy, it will set an example for the
   others to follow. Customers are the mainstay of this industry. Airtel would
   notice if customers ask them to make their calls green by using clean energy
   to power company’s mobile towers.
   You should ask Airtel to switch to renewable energy.

   Several current and potential Airtel subscribers, asking them to switch to
   renewable energy will help put pressure on them to act. Since the company is
   bound to provide good service to its subscribers, they will not be able to
   ignore this feedback.
   Like  coal and nuclear, oil too is an unsustainable energy option. The
   Deepwater Horizon oil spill last year showed the dangers of our addiction to
   oil.^[2] Studies conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
   have shown that renewable energy is capable of powering the world.^[3]
   Airtel needs to realise this and quit dirty energy.
   Tell them now.
