Are Indian Politicians Supportive/Inclined towards Green Movement

There have been and still are several politicians who are concerned of environment.  However, we arguers here - how many of us are really concerned about the environment and do our bit than just argue out here?  That should be the question I guess.

It's NOT the politician who sets the ball rolling.  It's us - the general public - which sets it in motion and then would the politician pick it up and take it forward.  So, who among is doing it committedly?

Charles, you set a good example, but not relevent to this. Because, green solutions are not revenue generating oriented, hence machinery declined towards it. 

But question is that, why we are sleeping...why we pay the taxes and all.. why we do not go to judiciary that machinery and Govt is declined towards green solution. Where we are... what is the use of our education if we are not able to serve to society.

I am also one of the part of people whose are declined.. and simply says that I boke down with my profession hence cannot spare time for this social cause. Simple is that it is not giving any monetory benefits to me.. Sorry for that but its only the reality.

I agree with Mr. Aras. The govt has been instrumental in launching a green initiatives / s, but it has failed to take off because we as individuals have not been ptoactive in the programme. We also have this civic responsibility to drive the initiatives and make it a movement!! But as citizens we have failed too!

I remember a video that was launched with BigB, Shilpa Shetty and some other prominent BTown actors. As we Indians do, we discussed the video and talked to glory be about it... Did we participate or act on it?? NO... So why blame the tree alone when the root itself is not strong!! People are the most important form of the democratic govt and we elect the govt, so we are responsible equally.

Thanks for the referral Beena

Thanks Mr Aras,I agree with you .Excellent views1

Nice topic Charles.But we have to think that even if the politicians are not aware we should make them aware and induce them to proceed in this way ,as politicians always search path where they will get fame ,both at national and international level.I feel this topic will make them more famous if they come ahead and add the topic in their lectures to general public.This is the easiest way to make public aware of green world I can say.In this way both politicians and public will be benefitted, as a result we will win in getting a greener world.What is your opinion!

Yes Charles you are right it is not represented in the parliament by the elected rep to convert into policies but I don't think Indian politicians will decline to accept Green environment unless and until it will harm to India's growth to a great extent.

Considering the present situation, if India will accept the proposed norms of 2% reduction in global temperature in order to control climate change and green environment India has to forgo his future growth potential.

I think Indian politicians should not accept the proposed norms because it is going to hamper India's future growth in a big way.
