The whole mankind is looking anxiously at the viking capital of the Scandinavia: Copenhagen. Heads of nations and delegates from both developed and developing world would be discussing the most important question of our decade: How to save earth? Negotiators have already come up with the few ideas like carbon credits, emission cut bonus etc. But still nations are resisting the idea and necessity of emission cut. why is that? Logically no one is wrong. A nation cannot survive without the indistries and industries cannot survive without fuel. That sounds easy but it's a very complex deadlock. I think this whole "HOPENHAGEN MOVEMENT" has become too much political.In my opinion the demand of this moment is innovation and creativity. If you ask your business corporations to stop using fossil fuel and follow strict environme

nt norms than there are little chances that you will be able to sustain the high GDP growth.Compulsions won't work here. Of course it's a problem. Change will only happen if people really want that. But the course of actions are also important. As i said compulsions won't work so we will have to come up with something unique...something innovative..something creative...something logical....and something practical. Environmental dis balance is sure a big and complex problem...but it's also an opportunity. Oh yes! u read it right- OPPORTUNITY . How?? Well it depends on number of factors and answers could be more specific to a geographical location or the local environment.
Say for instance in INDIA,
It's a diverse country and is blessed with the full spectrum of terrain and associated ecosystems.
and Indian goverment has major players in almost every sphere of industry...goverment companies can actually take lead and bring up new inovations and campaigns which can be "branded" as "green". Indulge with private players and take extend the oppurtinities..for example encourae realtors to build eco freindly buildings which will will minimise the use of space conditioning and electricity. last season i saw some eco friendly designs under Hafeez Contractorwala label. Saw some eco fiendly campuses in Bangalore(Infosys) and kochi(Sutherland). One is in delhi also( the TERI campus). The campuses look cool and saves lotsa cash on ellectricity. Power companies like BSES, HP, IOL can also extend their envelope can look into renewable sources of energy like setting up windmil

ls in podecherry or kochi. The ccean winds and currents can supply unlimited power which can be stored in large capacitors and can be distributed under cheaper unit charges. Similarly Solar energy can be harnessed in rajasthan( deserts from udaipur to jaisalmer can be a good place). If my calculations are right that we can satisfy the electricity needs of not only rajasthan but can also be routed to punjab and gujrat to provide some additional power for agriculture and small industries respectively. This will also provide job opportunities and will ensure safety. The government agencies and companies can use this as an opportunity to revamp the brand image and lead a new movement. They can show that going green can yield reach dividends.
and ofcourse the creativity and innovation has to be in our personal lives also. Can start with small things like putiing up two dustbins in kitchen- Recyclable and Non-recyclable. A easy and rough way of checking your own personal carbon footprints and you know what ,you can actually earn from your green dustbin(recyclable one!!) last month i sold the garbage to kabariwala and earned good 175 bucks.My bother is changing garbages into art forms( he's kinda getting ideas from Disney's Art attack).that's with us. I know people have been doing many more cool and green things..
Lets Hope and try to create a green planet
Good luck to Copenhagen!!!
