Shortage of electricity, petrol and even foodPlight of environment is not at all goodGood morning respected jury members and my dear friends.

Slide 2Well, in a city like Delhi, water and electricity shortages are verycommon. In such situations the government blames the municipality,who in turn blame someone else and so on. In all this blame game, themost important question is never asked: Why there is a shortfall? Theanswer is climate change and the culprit is the mankind.

Slide 3If we have done this, we only have to find a solution to it and therefore

let us have a look how our forefathers used to lead an eco friendly lifeand existed in symbiosis with environment.

Slide 4Cow dung is being used in rural India since centuries and today it canalso change the shape of the modern world.Cow dung helps in improving the soil texture. When mixed with mudand water, it increases the water absorbing capacity of mud. Further,smoldering of cow patties keeps away insects and mosquitoes in aneco friendly manner.

Slide 13Ancient India was famous for its earthen materials such as kullad, pots

and idols. Today we can again bring back the traditional India whichwould help us to fight climate change. Earthen idols could be easilydissolved in water than POP idols. Also, they prevent the lake from

drying.

Slide 14Kullad & baked earthen pots keeps water cool and thus reduces the

usage of refrigerators.Slide 15

Man has a symbiotic relationship with environment. What he does toenvironment he does to himself. We have exploited natural resources

to maximum and also polluted surroundings. The result is climatechange. Now it is to us, which way to go. Choosing the wrong will bring

you a DEAD END
