If it were only like this - India Environment

My friend sent me a beautiful train photo link from the following link:

We were all upset by the garbage in front of the train.
All I could do was a virtual cleaning. Compare photo1 and photo2:

Some Good News for Environment and Wildlife

Studies indicate increase in forest canopy over a period of ten years in Madumalai Sanctuary, India.
April 1: Another study indicates increase in Tiger population in TamilNadu Forests, especially in
Mudumalai and Anamalai(Indira Gandhi Wildlife) Sanctuaries. Hence from April 1st 2008, a new Separate Tiger Sanctuary will
be announced, which will include both these sanctuaries.

EnviroApps Inc believes in Eco-Justices and hence we always have advertised the following slogans in our Eco-tour Cars:
SAVE WILDLIFE,
SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT

Few more sanctuaries:
Orphan elephants sanctuary in Kerala, India.
Bats sanctuary in Karnataka, India.
Exclusive Bird Hospital in Delhi, India

Also I read a news that some guy in Kerela is feeding fish and chicken to a Cow which I think is against nature.

River Ganga: Holy for most, septic almost

http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/mar/30ganga.htm:
Despite hundreds of crores of rupees being spent to clean the Ganga, the lifeline of north India, pollution levels in the river have reached septic levels at certain points with dissolved oxygen dropping to alarmingly low levels.
Ninety Five per cent of the pollution in the river is caused at point sources at which sewers and open drains bringing pollutants in domestic and municipal limits fall, while only five per cent is by the direct users.

As an Environmental Scientist who was involved in Pocomoke River(Chesapeake Bay tributary) Sediment toxicity research,

I am not at all surprised at this level of pollution in Ganges River. Non-point Agricultural runoff, very few sewage treatment plants outlet and polutry litter runoff has caused Pocomoke River disaster(massive fish kills). I would also say that Pocomoke River Pollution may be very very less compared to that of Ganges River Pollution. More studies on Ganges sediments must be done. Ganges sediments must also be analyzed for levels of various pollutants and steps needs to be taken along those lines in the cleanup process.

Greed for wealth and growth will lead to Environmental Problems

News: Korea is interested in creating more industries in India, esp, Tamilnadu.

Ecological and environmental problems will be the main issues of future India.

This will occur mainly because of greed for wealth and growth, carelessness, poor environmental practices and Indian government legislation on Environment Protection.
India’s Environmental richness,forests and majestic animals such as elephants and tigers will be long gone if proper action is not taken at least in a small scale.

May be these countries need to pay for India's Environmental Protection when they build these Industries in India.

WORLD WATER DAY & EPA EARTHDAY PHOTOCONTEST

WORLD WATER DAY:

http://water.org/waterpartners.aspx?pgID=1081
Water – the most basic element on earth. Without water, human life doesn’t exist. And without safe water, neither does good health. For most of us, it’s a short walk to the faucet in the kitchen, or bottled water in the refrigerator. But for more than a billion people – about one in six people on earth – getting safe water each day is no easy task. Women and children around the world walk 200 million hours every day for water – water that often comes from a polluted source.
