  1. Petrol prices are increasing everyday crushing the poor under huge pile of expenses. Though they may not have cars to use petrol for, but it sure is one of the resources that effects prices of thousands of other everyday items we need. An average Pakistani cannot afford a sustainable lifestyle. And the society is responsible for this at large. we all contribute in some way or the other, or encourage for wrong to continue and suppressing what is right. We need to take action now, on our individual level to bring an effective change. WE need to stop giving bribe, start following traffic rules, observe patience, hold ourselves accountable and spread the same in our circles. We need to make tremendous efforts at an individual level to bring a change at large. This video depicts it beautifully: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhOfYzzS6D4 The first step is to pledge to improve. Lets take it NOW - PLEDGE!
