In my distt yamunanagar govt auctions mining of sand,boulder,stone etc and it is very lucrative business due to some unclear instructions. Govt should give clear instructions for mining set by Supreme court of India and today the rates are very high and land became Barron and people getting richer national loss

Sir, Garbage burning is also playing part in climate change. Many parts of Delhi is reeling under it with no strict enforcement to stop it. Gasse that emits after burning is also clogging Delhi air with toxic fumes and ultimately effecting people at large. Please do something about it.

How we are planning to control pollution in industrial areas such as Vapi GIDC, Gujarat and Ankleshwar GIDC. The situation is very bad in both location. Vapi has been ranked 2 in the year 2008 among the most polluted places in the world, mainly due to its poor air and water quality caused by nearby industrial sites. Please do needful.

As recently we have seen that Commercial vehicles entering Delhi ordered to pay environmental tax, but we think that it is not the solution, as this will increase the product price, and at the end, customer has to pay that amount from their own pocket ! There has to be some kind of other solution which is more #EcoFriendly and not #EconomyFriendly, #Emipro

We have lot of unproductive land. Some of which was the result of thoughtless action in the past, e.g. lateritic soil. Vietnam had similar problem and they solved it. They reclaimed the land and grew forest on it. Government policies should encourage all bare patches of land to be covered with vegetation.

In olden days farmers used to use bullocks for cultivation, transport water from well etc. Now a days this work is carried out by tractor and other machines. which is speedy and economical. When the cow and buffalo give birth to male calf,it is problems to farmers as bullocks are not that much required. My suggestion is to utilize Bullocks mechanical energy to generate electrical energy. The stored electrical energy can be fed to grid or used in village itself.

The temperatures everywhere in the country are on rise. One way to lower the ambient temperature would be to evaporate water in air. Sprinklers on roads and elsewhere would cool the ambient air and bring relief to people. Most of India has low humidity in summer so this should be attempted. In any case, evaporation is the method by which an AC works... and evn trees transpire. Old monuments like Taj Mahal had fountains. Even recycled water and rudimentary fountains can modify microclimate.

Also the importance of breeding new ideas for renewable energy and making it energy of choice for the country is not only the responsiblity of the ministry but the people at large.Educating the ill effects on non-renewable energy and the advantages of renewable energy resourses to be made aware to the people. Also technology transfer and capacity buliding to be done with the help of first world countries their commitment must be solicited at this juncture. Keep it simple all the best.
