We are the Climate Generation

Today our world faces plethora of problems. And I believe that most dangerous are the environmental problems. Unlike others which people think can be solved by guns and cannons. These problems can never be solved in the same way. It needs awakening of the human mind. It needs us to develop the respect which we must have for our only living planet. Lives will be lost, homes will be destroyed our whole is on the edge of annihilation. But there is a silver lining to this dark cloud.
From 13th to 17th July one of the brightest minds from this part of the world (India and Sri Lanka) were engaged in a training programme which is one of a kind. The training programme was organised by TERI and British Council. And all those brightest minds are International Climate Champions 2010. Part of British council’s initiative of creating Climate Generation.
Those 5 days were one of the best days of my life. Not only did I learn so much from our wonderful trainers Laura and Sarah but also from my Climate Buddies. Perhaps I have also given some of my knowledge. But most inspiring and motivating was so see passion among all the champs relating to environment. Living in a small town I used to think that no one really cares about the environment. It is just a topic for seminars, debates and rallies. But thanks to all you guys today I know that story of Rimili my friend who died in 2009 due to reasons relating to Climate Change won’t be repeated again. Thanks a lot every one.
I can’t write all my feelings in just these words so to make the blog less boring I am dividing the stuff into few entries. I’ll let you know about that in due time. Thanks to Raghav for creating such a nice and only one google group for all of us. Just as Sandeep wrote United we stand, divided we fall. In this battle against climate change we must be united. Best of luck to all of you. Yes we can, yes we must, yes we will.
Bye
Be Green

Nice read.

And thanks for mentioning me in your post. Would like to know more about Rimili.

At times i have also felt about climate change being a topic only for discussions at seminars and conferences but take note of the fact that it doesn't take much more than a few of us sticking our feet and demanding for the world to listen and change.

For better times.. For change!

In 2008 Indian Flag was planted on lunar soil. But how did Indian reached their? What started with sending sounding rockets for the benefit of the newly formed developing country ended up being the leading space programme in the world? It gives all the details on how the Indian Space Programme evolved. Starting literally from scratch, and fight foreign embargoes and technology denial regimes it evolved in to country’s if not world finest institution. It shows how it started under the visionaries like Vikram Sarbai, Homi Bhaba, and the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and was subsequently supported by different governments.

Back Stabbed 1

I don’t know but it seems that India has a long and still lasting tradition of being stabbed by those people whom India helps. “30th October a day t5hat will live in infamy”. Perhaps this is what FDR would have if he could be our President or perhaps not. Pearl Harbour attack or 9/11 attack on US have happened once in sixty years. But here in India not even six days passes without someone stabbing our nation in its heart, whether they are terrorists, anti-socials or even so-called civilised people. India is been constantly butchered to pieces uncountable. Perhaps these incident happens so occasionally that our honourable PM and President have to appoint all the Booker Prize winners. (I really meat that, the number is very large now.) From last few months the numbers of bomb blasts are increasing and those bad guys have made whole India what Jammu and Kashmir was few years back. I think we are behind these blasts and all. Firstly we can’t elect a responsible government to run world’s ...
