The society set up in our country is neither maintaining its own cultural identity, nor acquiring the western. In the midst of the ‘Yog’ and ‘Bhog’ culture, we are losing our traditional concept of ‘Aranya Samskruti’ and ‘Prakruti Purush’. It is a well known fact that the rituals and conventions of our culture could meet the impact of climate change in this age which is also defined as the ‘Kaliyug’. The ‘concept of minimum energy’ is a part of Indian traditional lifestyle. There is no ‘waste’ i

India should encourage private investment in solar electricity generation and water heating by individual house owners. We should target a solar generating panel and a solar heating panel on the roof of each house. Encouragement by allowing these panels to feed the electric grid, excess energy being bought by the govt. at a fair price, would make private funding available. This would reduce fossil fuel generation and hence global warming. It would also reduce transmission losses, etc..
