Save our “Tigers”

Save our “Tigers”

Save our “Tigers” a good initiative from “Aircel”. This is the need of time. Its good to see some of the corporates coming up ahead for the cause of social benefit.

I think, this type of social citizenship initiated from companies like “Aircel”, “Tata Tea”, “Accenture”, “Birla”, “Reliance” etc will definitely make citizens aware of their efforts / need towards  saving of this beautiful earth.

We need to save animals. We need to stop cutting trees. We need to plant trees. Making awareness is a good thing, but the need of time is to “ACT” for it. Yes act for it to get it for us. Act for it to get save this earth. Act.

Why can’t we stop the entry in various forest reserves. Most of the peoples visit their just for entertainment, leisure and enjoyment. Is this the purpose, animals are made for? We visiting the forest reserves knowingly unknowingly damage their home. Let them live.  Leave them to live.

Climate change impact on hill agriculture and farmers adaptive strategies

This study conducted during January- March, 2007, in the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh in India, takes the apple as an indicator crop to investigate the positive and negative effects of climate change on farm economy. It explores the impacts it had on the agricultural economy of the hill farmers who were forced to abandon apple farming, and those to whom apple farming came to be a new option.

This research attempts to piece together and aims to enhance understanding of climate change impacts as observed by farming communities at very local levels.

The findings showed that the apple belt was shifting upwards due to climbing regional temperatures, making the lower parts of the valley unsuitable and the upper valley hospitable for the apple crop.

Indian sugar mills generate as much ‘green’ energy as windmills, and at half the cost

* Sugar mills produce 2,000 megawatt of biomass-based energy through cogeneration, says a new report. Cogeneration means the production of two forms of energy, electricity and heat
* Sugar mills are making a profit selling power to the grid. They can produce 5,100 mw of power – 69 per cent of the country’s total cogeneration capacity
* Such alternatives to fossil fuel energy are critical for India’s energy and climate security
* But lack of policy and pricing issues threaten the sustainability of this green power
