TALK OF LOW SULPHUR DIESEL IS A CLEAR EFFORT TO CONFUSE
THE ISSUE AND DELAY THE SUPREME COURT ORDERS ON CNG
Just when the Delhi government and the bus operators in the
capital have become serious about implementing the Supreme Court order on CNG, detractors
attempt once again to sabotage it. This time Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI), a
reputed research organisation in the Capital, in a clear effort to create confusion and to
delay implementation of the order have thrown in half-baked research and misinformation to
create confusion all around and push for polluting diesel. For more visit the link.

GREEN SCIENTIST AWARD
Dr. Manmohan Singh gave away The Green Scientist Award for the year 2001 on behalf of Down
To Earth. To recognise and honour commendable scientific efforts in the crucial but
ignored area of environmental science. The DTE exercise that rates the efforts of India's
environmental scientists also throws up some rather alarming facts.

THE RICH AND THE DEAD
Resource rich but starving: why do people die in Kalahandi? Not because they are poor but
because they have been failed by those who took charge of the management of their natural
resources. Time to examine how a region that receives more rain than Punjab is
poverty-stricken.

A PENNY FOR ECOLOGY
Very little effort is spent on the science for ecological security in India, therefore,
reasons enough to honour a scientist who has worked in the field. V P Sharma, founder
director of the Malaria Research Centre, gets the Down To Earth Green Scientist 2001
Award.

ON THE HORN OF A DILEMMA
Following in the footsteps of the dodo, the hornbill of the western ghats, is racing
towards extinction. Bad news for bird lovers and the forest alike.
