[rti4empowerment] From WEDS: Philanthropic zeal- Rise in prices of essential commodities - Quality of life is more relevant than quantity

Dear all,

 

All of us clamour about development. We strive to reaffirm our fundamental rights. Please also consider this.

 

Recently onion prices increased to Rs. 75 a kg. Number of reasons were ascribed. Blocking of Onion loaded trucks at Wagah border, hoarding, destruction of crop by incessant rain & floods etc.

 

Has anybody advanced the reason of drastic reduction in fertile land & causes of it?

 

To all of you, Cement/concrete/its debris is alkaline in charecter & destroys the fertility of soil.

 

To produce one kg of Cement 900gms of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is spewed into the atomosphere.

 

Concrete  being alkaline, scientifically it has been established that it disintegrates from the articles it was bonded with. Hence, Concrete buildings are not lasting & amenable to human health.

 

Under destruction masquerading as development, scores of paddy, wheat, jowar, maize fields have been converted into concrete jungles destroying fertile land!

 

Artificial manures too, being alkaline, destroy the fertility of soil. Insecticides toxify the soil as well as produce. Plastic that is biologically non degradable,  contaminate & toxify soil as well as anyhting that is edible or potable packed in them, with dioxins. Today we have everything packed in plastic including medicins! Human health is held at ransom.

 

All of us mislead ourselves that developmenmt connotes largesse & numerous concrete buildings & well being is measured as wealth one posseses or the number of gold biscuits one sports in ones pocket knowing fully well that they cannot be eaten whereas only biscuits made from wheat flour only can be eaten.

 

Water conveyed in GI(Galvanised iron) pipes contain Flouride & by PVC(Polyvinylchloride- Plastic) pipes contain dioxins both are harmful to human health. In open wells. water from concrete ringed ones is an open invitation to kidney stones! conventionally built open wells are either destroyed or contaminated by development!

 

 

With population increasing exponentially & fertle land shrinking exponentially the day  day may not be far away that all of us will have money in plethora but edibles/potables in want!

 

When will we wakeup  resist systematic destruction? Use RTI/ Read acontents of attachment.

 

Regards,

WEDS
