Answer 1

You are in a fortunate situation in that you are not the first country to go through industrialization and can learn the problems and better approaches from those of us who did it out of fervent belief in better living through chemicals. It does make business more expensive hence less profitable, but it leaves the water drinkable.

Answer 2

Why only Ganga and Yamuna almost all the rivers are polluted. The under ground water table is getting polluted very fast due to seeping of sewerage during rainy days. E-coli bacteria would get in to the ground water starts recking havoc with seeping sewerage.

Only way to stop Industrial pollution getting into river channels is to invent new methods to eliminate the poisonous metal and other heavy elements before they are let in to the river channels. Indian government should urge our scientists and tax the industries specially for investing in such a venture would prevent a heavy damage to not only our future human generation but a present marine life and other fresh water life.

Our present filtering technology is too old and archaic.

Government should ask reduce petrol-oil-gas based car/vehicle imports and manufacturing and start increasing the eco-friendly vehicle imports and manufacture.

Public can follow a principle of travel by public transport to office places at least twice a week. This would help avoid air pollution.

And above all there is no forest in India to be cut any more. This a pathetic lie we are repeating to ourselves. Only North-East India still supports forest. And due to terrorist/militant camps in that area some trees are being chopped down for illegal activities.

Our governments are busy saving their political alliances and power that they have very very less time left to think on creating new forests. Only NGOs are fighting for such causes with very less awareness among the common public.

We are literate but ignorant. That is basic trouble. Literacy is said to remove ignorance but we Indians, and neighboring South Asians are literate fools. We never bother any thing like a huge social cause these days.

Our forefathers fed birds, and other animals every day for a religious cause. We no more do it even for a social cause. So the eco-cycle needs to be kept in balance with a lot of public awareness.

Governments give us a holiday on Gandhi Jayanti but sell arracks and liquor to run government. What a pathetic condition?

Drastic transformations could be made globally; yet doubt the human race as a collective will hear and attempt reform! The starvation for the severe potent greenback and materialistic issues willpersistent the subjects of immediately into international mess ups for our successors... Even those that do take the initiative in bobbing up information on the thank you to decrease pollutants and help ward off further extinctions of flowers and fauna; I worry that we (as a collective human 'animal') have unwittingly accelerated our very own dying. This planet, this earth is our domicile...the only one we've!! we are constrained to all that it holds: land; water, air, supplies....we do could save it earlier all is lost!! so which you ought to respond to your question(fairly): if in simple terms little steps might nicely be made; i'm hoping that those little steps are not infant ones!! Time won't be on our area!!! green autos, selection potential supplies, all are mandatory and could help....for our destiny is effective if we could be right here for generations back on earth!!

Answer 4

Too much of concern about pollution.

The environment is not getting polluted. We are polluting environment at less than 10% areas of India.

India or any country in the world has not used more than 10% of their land for population. 90% of India is not populated and so not polluted.

Shortage of water, eco system and death of children happens because of our ignorance. We want to crowd the cities. we spend our life time saving to get an accommodation in city.

The governement, shows the city crowd to brainwash people that India is going to overflow in a next few years. That becomes a reason for not doing any development projects. Ultimately your kind of pollution and shortage is going to happen.

Answer 5

Every one should be serious. Every creature is so much dependent on nature & every one is taking undue advantage of nature without realising that nature is changing rather changed already & we see the adverse effects every where. Nature will take reveng in its own way. One can't go against nature for a long. The fact that nature is changing should make all of us stand upright, come toghether, think & resolve the matter amicably ASAP. Delays will drastically deteriorate the situation & will be out of control. When considering nature there are no national bountdries. Nature affects all of us irrespective of the country.

Answer 6

We the public also have to shoulder our share of the responsibility. Stop generating wet waste through vermicomposting. Reduce your generation of dry waste by recycling. Carry a cloth or jute bag for marketing instead of collecting more plastic bags. Install rainwater harvesting kits in your building and encourage other buildings to do so as well. Install solar panels for hot water and encourage others to do so. Plant trees and shrubs, even potted house plants wherever possible and encourage others to do so. Use car / auto / taxi pools for regular daily commuting. Consciously eradicate your own vile habits such as littering, spitting, etc and encourage others to do so as well. Form local community groups to ensure regular garbage collection, cleaning of streets etc. Petition the authorities for every environmental violation noticed by you and inform the press as well. If all of us take these small steps, there is bound to some difference, the vagaries of our government notwithstanding.
