Leisure activities contribute immensely towards global warming: for example transportation involving carbon emission, use of hotel, use of plastic bag, wrappers, wastage of food products and may be washing of hair daily. Therefore it is pertinent to analyse the factors of warming through leisure activities and the measures of control for such warming. Inequality has been the main feature of human societies. There has been wide ranging inequalities among people having leisure patterns as well. There is definitely qualitative and quantitative differences between a bureaucrat, a labourer, a corporate or a teacher in terms of leisure patterns. The leisure destinations are also different.There has been a hierarchical work environment in most of the countries, therefore it is essential to bring some kind of equality in leisure patterns which may be conducive to all classes, otherwise the poor will always lament the rich, particularly looking at their leisure patterns.
