Yesterday I was watching NDTV program about Greenathon. (People get bored of graft also. and fasting also. yawn.....) Well, Cyrus was doing his best to make the program interesting. But most of the times, unless you observe the T shirts they are wearing you could not make out they are talking about greenathon. Anyway.
I also have some ideas to contribute to make our planet greener and hence better for our children.
1. All the supermarkets should stop giving plastic grocery bags. Period. If the customers do not have a bag to carry items, they must be asked to buy a cloth bag.
2. It was really nice seeing villages being given solar lamps. Similarly solar cookers like parvati cooker can be manufactured in a commercial way and sold in villages with a subsidy. That will save precious firewood. And villagers will be more than willing to use solar cookers because of the scarcity of firewood.
3. The garbage collection must be done every day and properly in the cities. The collectors should not accept garbage if they are not seggreagated. In our area, the garbage truck comes once in a blue moon.The garbage collected in this way should use the plastic for recycling e.g. for adding with tar for roads. And the bio degradable garbage must be used for converting into manure which can be either sold or used in public marks.
4. This is a very rough idea without much analysis - we have 200 ltr solar water heater. Most of the days the hot water is utilized 20% . Some how this water can be brought to a vessel surround it with flowing hot water and cook the food. Hot water outlet can be connected back to sump tank. Will this work? I do not know.
