VARIOUS WAYS OF REDUCING MUMBAI’S CARBON FOOTPRINT By Prof SOLI ARCEIVALA ENVIRONMENT GROUP, BOMBAY FIRST Formerly, Chief Environmental Health, WHO/UN SE ASIA And Director, NEERI, Nagpur

WHEN WILL WE REALLY START REDUCING OUR CARBON ? Frankly, nobody seems to be taking us seriously They are all putting us on the back-burner What we now need is to put on some speed

LET US ASK WHY IT IS NOT HAPPENING FASTER? I s it a management problem? Is it a leadership problem ? “WHAT IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS, IS NOBODY’S BUSINESS”

IS IT A TECHNICAL PROBLEM? “HOW CAN WE REDUCE WHAT WE CANNOT SEE, FEEL OR MEASURE?” “WE DO NOT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT IT”

IS IT A MONEY PROBLEM? “WE WILL REDUCE CARBON ONLY IF WE GET PAID FOR IT” WE DO NOT HAVE THE POLITICAL WILL
