    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?

    Indian population is increasing and population density is becoming very high due to employment probabilities being higher in urban areas. Bangalore was very famous as Garden City but now it is entirely different. The reasons are many. Just alone industrialisation is not the problem. Our lifestyle has completely changed. There are no houses without an AC. There are no houses without a car and a two-wheeler. We never like to use common public transportation. We want our transportation way. This is the main reason for the temperatures to rise.
    We require industries but with proper effluent treatment systems. The role of Pollution control boards is very crucial. Plantation should be increased and we should see trees everywhere.
    Without industries, where can we get employment? We should have more industries in all the sectors and that will lead to good employment opportunities. Let us concentrate more on our lifestyle and make it more environment friendly rather than asking for no industrial development.

    The development of science and technology led to industrialization and commercialization of various activities in form of viable business units. Industrialization is a part of the developmental process and it changed the lifestyles of the human beings in a drastic way as materialistic approach and desire to have more and more modern gadgets became the necessity in the lives of modern men.
    Pollution, environmental degradation, global warming, and other such things are the consequences of the industrial growth and in a way became inevitable.
    The question is where we made a mistake? The answer is very simple that we took the nature and mother Earth lightly and abused it in every way. We did not adhere to the affluent control measures in the industry, we allowed the pollutants to freely mix in the rivers to be taken to the ocean affecting marine lives, we misused groundwater and did not make efforts to recharge the underground aquifers, we did all sort of wrong things to destroy the nature around us and now we are complaining that there is no water in Banglore or no big city is without pollution. In many cities people nowadays are going out with a mask to protect from pollution. What choices we have. Big business houses for making big profits neglected the environment and now as Govt authorities in many countries are forcing them to take measures then they are taking some steps in this direction that also reluctantly.
    The corrective actions are to be taken on a global scale and on a war level. Global warming is not a hoax, it is a reality.

    In Andhra Pradesh, the lands in the Godavari delta are very fertile and the farmers go for crops like sugar cane, etc. So in that area in small towns and villages also there are some sugar factories. These industries will directly purchase sugarcane from the farmer at a good price and there are no middle men. I have contacts with about 5 sugar factories in that area and I interacted with some farmers there they are very happy with the management and they told me that sometimes these factories will give advance money to the farmers as there is competition between sugar factories in that area.

    During the last few centuries enormous development has taken place in the world and India has also developed much. Everywhere it is a kind of industrial revolution and new innovations are taking place in every field.
    Pollution is a direct by product of all developmental processes and we can neither blame any other person or make excuse about it.
    Many of our actions contributed carbon emission to the atmosphere and today we are talking of the greenhouse effect and global warming. Forest fires and wood burning added fuel to fire.
    What humans did eventually coming back to them in a deadly way threatening to eradicate human race on this planet Earth.

    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.
