Union Government to focus on Environment
Minister of Environment Jagannath Patil addressed the National Assembly earlier today calling for all levels of government to assist the central government in environmental matters. "We can not afford to wait or let someone else do this work. Our nation belongs to every citizen in every village, town, city and state no matter what background or status. India should and shall lead in environmental technology which will not only improve the beauty of this country but bring economic benefits for all." The Environmental Ministry will agree with local governments across the country by providing technical experts and funding for various programs ranging from Perennial Wheat and Azolla to assist farmers to Bamboo and Bracken Fern to clean up former industrial sites and provide building materials.
Cities and Villages will be encouraged to plant Sedum to provide green roofing and clean the air in many areas. Algae fuels and electric batteries/engines will be used to replace many carbon based fuels such as natural gas and petroleum. Even chestnut trees will be planted in many dry infertile areas to provide a protein food source for the poorest people. A decentralized system of Renewable Power generation and distribution will also be encouraged.
While the Foreign Ministry has not issued any comments already news of environmental trade deals with Cascadia have been announced. Similar treaties with other countries may be proposed in the near future. A similar proposal has been suggested for the United Nations.
