Earth Day Competition
And for the next week, our blog will discuss a lot of environmental issues, global and local. Special focus on issues pertaining to India and how we can go about doing the same.
And to get everybody thinking and spread awareness, we at Poohsden have decided to have a competition. Here are the details,
“What do you think needs to be done to get Indians more aware of their environment and how do we go about protecting it? What in your opinion will be the ideal law to get things moving in the right direction?”
You can post your views in your blog and email a link to poohsden@gmail.com.
The winner will be decided by a poll starting from May 5th. The winner gets to choose a 16×20 enlarged, mounted photo by R (from his blog), shipped anywhere in the US or India. We can work out something for people from other countries.
It would be great if you can spread word around, might be a link in your blog. All entries will be posted on the poohsden.
Do you bit, for a greener, cleaner earth for the future generations

I think its better the people of India decide on whats best for their environment, not a bunch of people sitting in front of their computers half way around the globe.As far as i know, the “buzz words” as you call it, namely global warming,carbon di oxide and
sustainable development in the US’s environmental law is just an eyewash. currently, US is responsible for 25% of global CO2 emission.Please refer “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions”
if in doubt.Considering the data was collected by the US gov., the percentage is obviously more. And India contributes just 5%. I see it more as an imperialist propaganda to curb the rapid development which most 3rd world countries are going through right now, than a genuine concern for global warming.

April 22, 2007 at 2:28 pmHello V & R,
Love your blog. Keep it up.
This is a great idea. Hope you get a lot of ideas.
I don’t know whether you know that Mayor Shubha Raul of Mumabi – (3rd woman mayor of mumbai) has declared a war on spitting. Her main enemy: paan, gutkha and tobacco spittle. Raul’s opening gambit will be to levy double the regular amount of fine for spitting on those caught spitting out paan or gutkha.
I think this will make a BIG difference in cleaning up the city.
