we have 5000 hotels per metro city. These hotels use 12 lit per dish washing . Each hotel drain 12000 lit of water every day. hence 6 crores of water is drained without water recycling. considering 1 lit water cost rs 0.19 , we drain Rs 1,14,00,000 per day per metro city . presuming there are 100 cities /state. Thus we can save precious water by recycling. we have evolved low cost water recycling machine for " save water" project.

Fastest and truly sustainable source of bulk electricity by using limited resource of land and water , while providing systems stability with growing solar and wind generation in the immediate term,is hydropower of all capacities. It also helps economic efficiency and growth,enhances ecology and provides energy and development of hinterland. It is truly renewable .We need to declare hydropower as RENEWABLE as major step to achieve the INDC commitments and stabilize+lower cost of bulk power.

CLIMATE JUSTICE - INDC - CONTD - VII 10. Government needs to engage with celebrities and business magnates, whose interests and motives influence the lifestyles in a Society. This is a very time consuming process to be handled in a patient and subtle manner. Talk shows etc. may be conducted to analyse the societal responses on special days like the ‘World Earth Day’. For e.g. a proposition may be moved to ‘Stop playing outdoor games at night’. Regards Rajkaran Singh Bhatti Chandigarh

Here are a few suggestions. 1. Introduce Natural resource accounting system. 2. Set GDP growth targets for each state. 3. Form a party audit committee to monitor how well each party MP, MLA, Corporator is managing his constituency. Let audit team make quarterly visits to constituency, make report, suggest implementation plan.
