The Green Agenda

The common enemy of humanity is man.

In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we cameup with the idea that pollution, the threat of global

warming, water shortages, famine and the like would

fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by humanintervention, and it is only through changed attitudes

and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real

enemy then, is humanity itself."

The First Global Revolution

Environmental awareness is considered to be

the mark of any good honest decent citizen.

Multi-national companies compete fiercely to

promote their environmental credentials and

'out-green' each other. The threat of

impending ecological disasters is uniting the

world through a plethora of internationaltreaties and conventions.

First Global RevolutionThe environmental movement has been describedas the largest and most influential socialphenomenon in modern history. From relativeobscurity just a few decades ago it has spawned

thousands of organisations and claims millions ofcommitted activists. Reading the newspapertoday it is hard to imagine a time when globalwarming, resource depletion, environmental

catastrophes and 'saving the planet' were barelymentioned. They now rank among the toppriorities on the social, political and economicglobal agenda.

Individuals and Organizations in supporting

the green revolution in India by helping them

inclusive growth for the Indian economy.

Green India

Initiative

Green India Initiative believes that renewableenergy is the lifeblood of the future. When we

just cannot keep depending on depleting fossilfuel resources with their ever increasing cost andalso expect a strong economy. The moderneconomies as they grow depend increasingly onthe integration of energy supply. Everything, from

the car that we use for work to the stove that weuse to cook dinner depend on fossil fuel basedenergy resource.


8/24

Cost Effective

Resources

Unfortunately, the fossil fuels can never beinfinite in their availability and we already seethat the supply is dwindling. This in turn is

driving costs sky high and is putting a strain onthe large Indian middle class and as a resultthe whole Indian economy. On the plus side,this has generated a great deal of interest in

solar, wind and other renewable resources allof which are now cost effective and reduceour dependence on fossil fuels.
