What will happen when more industrialization happens?
Clearly, but very surely, a city like Bangalore touching a high of almost 42 degrees centigrade is totally unheard of. We cannot but go back to where it all started. The question of big projects and big industries that destroy so much of nature and spoil the environment is hotly debated. However, do we still need to make crackers, tiles, granite and so on, which are all highly polluting, and can cause severe respiration problems to all employees, irrespective of their age?Why can't we import them or look for alternate materials? And stop crackers totally? If the present trends continue, will we have massive deaths due to global warming and so on? And should we not address the most important and basic problem of increase in population, by encouraging small families?
We have to make intelligent choices at the national level. Otherwise, our cities will become more polluted and we will all live in environments where none would perhaps escape cancer in one form or the other, or possibly suffer kidney trouble, high blood pressure due to hypertension and so on.
What choices should we make?
