Dear sir, You know very well the answer, i.e. TREES AND JUNGLE are the only answer to it, but we are not having any alternate to the use of wood. You know the answer, everyone knows the answer, but no one wants to address it. In the name of industrialisation thousands of jungles have been chopped off. Neither the previous govt. Nor yours, have ever got it simple. Mines and land can be made available to the industries, only and only if they create double the size of their plant.

The livestock industry contributes more than transport to global warming. Transport accounts for 13% of carbon emissions. Carbon emissions from the meat industry range from a United Nations quoted 18% to 51% which was quoted by WorldWatch, a US think-tank. India exports 23.3 percent of total world beef production. Massive lowering of carbon emissions can be achieved by restraining/regulating beef exports, which would decrease local beef production consequently, since there is weak local demand.
