Power generation using coal is the biggest concern specially handling pre and post use. Incentive to use solar power including saving by supplying back to the grid by household (when not consuming) users should be implemented in large scale. All new factories/workplaces plan should include solar power prior to approval at least to support partially.

India should raise the voice and concern over Big Tobacco and its impact on Climate Change. We can’t achieve desired outcome on Climate Change with compromised policies on Big Tobacco year after year. Tobacco is one of the major contributor of global warming! Tobacco agriculture, cigarette manufacturing and smoking have heavy carbon footprints. A lot of wood is consumed to cure tobacco leaves and for packaging. The ecological impacts of tobacco are serious cause for concern.

We must find a way to dispose daily household waste in an efficient and plastic-free manner. Almost all households use plastic garbage bags which are extremely bad as we all know. A personal recycling system or one for every locality is something that needs to be promoted.

Appreciate the gov for the steps on promotion of ETHANOL the green fuel. the MOEF also promptly cleared projects by making zero discharge objective mandatory to support the vital green moment In Brazil out of 100 cars sold 98 cars are running on flex fuels running on ethanol. India can take a leading edge here by developing a program on making a road map on operating BIO FUEL HYBRID CARS which can create a win win situation to reduce our carbon emissions. jawdekar ji pls enlighten.

Question : We talk about several campaigns and make many plans on protecting our Forests, minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, and cleaning up our rivers, but is there any mechanism that actually checks whether efforts are being made to fulfill such promises ?

Question : Solar energy seems to be one of the best alternative when it comes to green energy resources. However certain research papers and articles have been pointing to certain hazards related to Solar energy that seem to be really harmful. One of such hazards, is Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity. This disorder can cause increased anxiety and headaches besides many other complications. Before taking any step further, does the Government has any plans to mitigate such problems ?
