We are adopting two corporation gardens where we will be
cultivating rare variety of ferns of western |
ghat. We sensitise school children
towards environmental issues and involve them in activities. I have received one issue of
G:NET. I need your cooperation.

I wanted to write to you, after what I read in the newspaper
Times Of India, on June 5, which is World |
Environment Day. Gail [Gas
Authority of India Limited] were bombarding the papers saying that use of plastics should
not be stopped, and that plastics helped save trees, and so were good for the environment.
Do you agree with them or not? Because I don't think so, but I don't know much about it,
so I thought I'd ask you your opinion. So, did you read the paper on that day?

I have recently learned that the Timarpur incienrator in
Delhi, which did not work even a day, is being sold |
as depreciated machinery and as
scrap. The tender is out as well. This is a celebration and a warning. Celebration because
hadit ever worked, or attempts to revive it happened,it would have been highly toxic for
us, our wildlife and birds, our bodies and everything else. Warning: because now the
highly embarrasing symbol of the failure of burn technologies will be removed. and we need
to not let anyone forget this disaster.
Also a moment of reflection how can citizens resist such devises thrust upon them
by a stone-deaf decison making apparatus? Whatever, it is a good example of crap to scrap.
We should celebrate at the venue when it is dismantled and hold some kind of an event. at
least toast to the dismembering of a toxic dragon.

We have formed a group in our local area and want to promote
certain issues like Recycle waste, |
eliminate polybags and plant trees.
We would need tons of help and support of your team.

We are working with some Tibetan communities in HP, and
partnering lwith NGOs in Delhi. We are |
funding Non formal education
centres in Yamuna Pushta, Raj Ghat and Mall Road bastis, in Delhi. Each class has about 50
children. We also run a computer centre in the Yamuna Pushta centre which has online
facilities. EE is taught in these classes. I believe the approach you have developed would
be not only interesting for the kids, it would also give teachers better tools.
