• Reduce Emission intensity of Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
• Increase the Share of Non Fossil Fuel Based Electricity
• Enhancing Carbon Sink (Forests)

City smog and filthy rivers are not good for men (though they are not the kind of danger that the ecological panic-mongers proclaim them to be). This is a scientific, technological problem—not a political one—and it can be solved only by technology. Even if smog were a risk to human life, we must remember that life in nature, without technology, is wholesale death.

Without machines and technology, the task of mere survival is a terrible, mind-and-body-wrecking ordeal. In “nature,” the struggle for food, clothing and shelter consumes all of a man’s energy and spirit; it is a losing struggle— the winner is any flood, earthquake or swarm of locusts. (Consider the 500,000 bodies left in the wake of a single flood in Pakistan; they had been men who lived without technology.) To work only for bare necessities is a luxury that mankind cannot afford.

In Western Europe, in the pre-industrial Middle Ages, man’s life expectancy was 30 years. In the nineteenth century, Europe’s population grew by 300 percent—which is the best proof of the fact that for the first time in human history, industry gave the great masses of people a chance to survive. If it were true that a heavy concentration of industry is destructive to human life, one would find life expectancy declining in the more advanced countries. But it has been rising steadily.

An Asian peasant who labors through all of his waking hours, with tools created in Biblical times—a South American aborigine who is devoured by piranha in a jungle river—an African who is bitten by the snake—an Arab whose teeth are green with decay in his mouth—these do live with their “natural environment,” but are scarcely able to appreciate its beauty. Still ecologists prefer these harsh "Natural" conditions over modern city filled with shopping centers, expressways and family cars.

The dinosaur and its fellow-creatures vanished from this earth long before there were any industrialists or any men. But this did not end life on earth. Contrary to the ecologists, nature does not stand still and does not maintain the kind of “equilibrium” that guarantees the survival of any particular species—least of all the survival of her greatest and most fragile product:- man. Ecology as a social principle condemns cities, culture, industry, technology & the intellect.

माननीय मंत्री जी, पर्यावरण के सुरक्षा में Co2 को कम करनें के लिए सबसे बड़ा योगदान वृक्ष का होता है। यदि जंगलों में अधिक से अधिक संख्या में पीपल का वृक्ष लगाया जाता है तो इससे 24 घंटे O2 प्राप्त होगा,Co2 को अवशोषित करता रहेगा एवं जंगलों में इस वृक्ष का कोई कटान भी नहीं करेगा जैसाकि साखू,सागौन के वृक्षों का हो जाता है,साथ ही साथ पीपल के वृक्ष को सड़क के किनारे भी अधिक संख्या में लगाने की जरुरतहै क्योकि वाहनों द्वारा जो ज्यादे मात्रा मेंCo2 का उत्सर्जन होता है उसे अवशोषित करता रहेगा ।
