Nikhil Kamath, Bryan Johnson and our air

#NikhilKamath's recent podcast with #BryanJohnson shed light on a grim reality — the air quality in our cities is deteriorating at an alarming rate. #AQI levels in major Indian cities have gone through the roof, and the situation only seems to be worsening.

One of the simplest ways to combat this crisis is planting more #trees. But what are we doing instead?
👉 Buying expensive air purifiers
👉 Cutting down trees to build more commercial spaces, apartments

Take #Bengaluru's iconic Outer Ring Road tech hub as an example. Once surrounded by greenery, today it's a concrete jungle with barely any trees left. Open spaces are being filled with more concrete, leaving little room for nature to thrive.

It doesn't stop there. At a personal level, we're contributing to the problem by: changing gadgets every year, buying from fast fashion brands, using tissue paper indiscriminately, ordering from QuickCommerce, and many other small things we don't even notice!

Meanwhile, governments conveniently turn a blind eye to the issue—after all, their next generations are often settled abroad, where the AQI is far better.

If we want clean air for our families, the responsibility falls squarely on us. We need to change our consumption-driven lifestyles and make conscious choices. Since our government is absent, wealthy, influential figures like Nikhil also have a bigger role to play. Imagine if they invested in creating mini-forests across urban areas—giving our cities a chance to breathe again.

Clean air is a collective responsibility, we all need to pitch in to make a better tomorrow.
