BBMP and the Mysore/Karnataka planners must be taken to task and held severely accountable within an overarching normal way of life as a policy leading to a zero cost economy:<BR/>Bangalore needs a tree authority within an overarching policy on normal living. Hacking away old trees for broadening roads is the worst form of crass consumerism. We need trees. An audit of Bangalore's trees has shown that Bengaluru meets the need of drinking water entirely by its trees: see Reforest Mother Earth to live here: http://practicingthevedas.blogspot.com/ In the process it generates a water cash flow annually amounting to three trillion rupees! Thus the general milieu has lost its veneration for trees within an overarching crass materialistic consumerism based on killing life's enduring healthy ways. Practice again normal ways by production,consumption and return. Work where you live. Return everything in a usable way that you take from the earth. Stop the idiocy of copying modern civilisation. Prohibit the use of personal transport by making public transport viable with an overarching way of small self sufficient communities. Looking at what modernism has come to(exterminating life) Mahatma Gandhi rings a bell: At the begin of the last century he proclaimed prophetically:"The West can meet the East when she throws overboard almost the whole of modern civilisation(exporting and importing everything everywhere and thereafter running away to other planets which support life);the West can also meet the East when the the East embraces modern civilisation. But that will be an armed truce." Bengaluru's trees are having the same capacity as the Sharavathi dam. But they reproduce NON-CLONALLY and forever preserve life defying gravity through osmosis and the sun. Thats the normal way: To do away with 2% percent efficiency modern civilisation and usherinng in a zero cost normalcy where infinite efficiency energy systems hold sway(with the help of life via the sun).Ramaswami Ashok Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525366311000374653noreply@blogger.com
