Quit Coal Campaign-Victory in Greece

Another feather in its hat, Greenpeace has successfully convinced the Greece Govenment to halt its coal plant expansion plans. the Greek Minister of Development has stated that the government is not considering hard coal or nuclear power as part of Greece's energy future. Instead the Greek government will be rewriting its Long-Term Energy Plan to exclude coal and promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Now they are off to Indonesia where Indonesian Minister of Energy' has taken a  decision to build or expand 35 more coal-fired plants in the next 2 years - including doubling the size of the Cilacap plant. Read the whole article and support Greenpeace by clicking the link below-

Garials-Indian Crocodiles are back

I congratulate the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department and the WWF who had started a breeding program for the Garials and now are setting them free in the banks of the Ganga at Hastinapur near Meerut. With much needed help from the villagers and fishermen, this program should become a success. This will not just give home to the Garials but also to other endangered species, like the Tigers, which need govt support, funding and a safe habitat to survive.
