“India having about 18% of world population but generating only about 3% of the world carbon emissions” A fact often used these days and many articles and opinions have already been published depicting the unevenness in the generation of carbon emissions and with the idea why developed nations are not compromising with this fact and bind by the Global Carbon Emission Summit. All these propaganda is quite obvious in the realm of preserving nature and extending the human existence over the planet.
But in the meantime, we are forgetting our own cultural practices and highlighting the need of use of new technologies. We often argue in favour of granting more carbon credits as per population percentage in India. But very little emphasis is given on the development of new technologies and their employment in day to day life activities. For example: In the civil construction field, lot of building materials and subsequently energy can be saved by the use of eco-friendly materials like Bamboo and new technologies like prefabricated structures and advanced bonding techniques. All these are already developed and are executed too in some parts of India, but due to lack of awareness they are not getting much attention.
There need to be creating awareness about these technologies in different fields on more elaborate level. Instead of showing vehemence over the carbon credit issue, we should rather generate example before the world and lighten them towards eco-friendly development and eco-friendly survival.
