IN the NEWS - Here Comes the First "Climate Lockdown"....

Could it be in the near future that someone, let's say from the Vatican, calls for these on Sundays in the near future?....just Pondering the Possiblities....
 
"India is preparing to impose a climate lockdown to reduce pollution.

Yes, really.

NPR reports the details of the lockdown under the headline ‘New Delhi’s air pollution is so bad, officials are calling for a citywide lockdown’.

India’s Supreme Court is calling for a lockdown in the capital, New Delhi. It’s because of a health emergency, but it’s not about COVID-19. It’s about air pollution,” states the piece.

---Authorities are set to ban all nonessential travel on roads in the national capital region while ordering tens of millions of people to work from home.

---Construction sites are also closing along with schools, many of which only recently opened after the COVID-19 lockdown.

---Delhi’s chief minister is also calling on neighboring states to impose similar measures." SN
