We have been insensitive all these years to warnings of environmentalists and all those who believe in sustainable development but who cared! There are tragically some people who think their superior knowledge in any particular discipline - be it in economics or other is ultimate!!!! But Mother Nature would always have the last laugh or last cry!!!!!!

True.. All environmentalists who have spent their lives in researching such areas extensively and prepared lengthy reports on the threats that may present in future are mostly considered as fools and are usually as a rule, are dismissed and disregarded! THe thing is when talk of development, we only look at the kind of development that is seen in US and most of Europe, which sadly is not sustainable. Like all things, we try to ape in many ways disregarding some wise men in the process. Time we changed this attitude!

I wonder what our ministers fo when they go on study tours to western countries? have the time of their life I guess ! There is so much to study and absorb esp the manner in which they take care of environment ! In Switzerland, even washing machines need a licence since hey cause damamge to the environment, they balance it out and in most aprtments they have just one on a floor in the common wash room and tenants are given one or two days in a week to use it !
By the way I went through your article Kalyani which was very apt and excellent...giving the link here..

Thank you very much Usha, glad you read it! :)

Yes, in many countries environment is an issue which is taken extremely seriously. We have a bad habit of aping other countries in all manners but possible except in matters that do matter! Where environment and development is concerned, most Nordic countries are the best example where they have embraced technology to the full extent but at the same time have done lots to ensure that environment is threatened in the least possible manner, that is sustainable development we need to be emulating!

Our ancestors have actually written loads and loads of documents on how to take care of our trees and which trees are good for preserving our climatic conditions, ensuring good rains etc. But we are blinded in eyes, minds and brains etc. to ignore them completely.
