Dear Friends/Co-sailors,
Blind exploitation of natural resources in the name of
economic growth will not only kill people but also spell doom for entire human
civilization.
Many of the so called
modern planners in India who keep on advising to toe Chinese line of growth
must read this piece of news.
It gives a
clear account of how China is killing its Rivers and water resources, all in
the name of growth. As you can see from
the following link, a report by none else than China’s Ministry of
Environmental Protection (MEP) reveals that over 30 percent of the country’s
rivers and over 50 percent of groundwater are below national water quality
standards. The continuing deterioration of water quality affecting people’s
lives and health has become one of the most urgent existential crises for
China.

Time Indian planners realized economic growth cannot be
sustained without respecting and conserving ecology.
