Kyoto Protocol

The US continues getting rated as the most influential economic powerhouse despite emitting 34% of global greenhouse gases annually (and despite not even having ratified the Kyoto Protocol), while China draws global applause for its double digit growth despite being the second maximum polluter (and the Kyoto Protocol not binding it to control its gas emissions).

The Aravalli Range is facing huge disturbances. We were stunned at the sight of ‘whole’ mountains being razored down to ground zero and in some cases the miners had dug well beyond 150 feet! Subrotto Dutta, activist, explained to us, “More than 50% of the mining is illegal, this means huge resources are being lost and government doesn’t even get a pie of it, besides the environment gets damaged!” He further added, “We have obsolete technology & the compliance level is very low, inevitably leading to environmental destruction.”

Cameron’s out to prove that she’s not just a pretty face. This Charlie’s Angel is all set to rough it up, in a tour around the world with her close buddies to save the planet for MTV’s travel show Trippin’. Only this tour doesn’t involve palatial hotels in Paris or Switzerland but involves experiencing the wild in countries like Chile.

Be it cement, chemicals, fertilisers, financial services, telecom to the newest retail venture by the name of ‘More’, the group has shown its mettle in all sectors, which it has forayed into. “The mix of 3Ps – ‘Pedigree’ from Aditya Birla, ‘Passion’ from Kumar Mangalam Birla and ‘Professionalism’ from its employees has helped the brand achieve such recall,” says Jagdeep Kapoor, CMD, Samsika Marketing Consultants.
