Special thanks to Anjali, our volunteer reporter from New Delhi. We believe it's important to show the world what's happening from all corners of Asia and are really excited that our coverage is expanding. If you want to become our reporter to represent your country (in Asia for now), get in touch with us at askasianboss@gmail.com
So are you going to start reporting about what's happening in Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Eastern Russia as well? The continent of Asia is massive and contains a multitude of distinct cultures, that is, its a (Western) geographical construct which doesn't reflect the diverse and distinct societal, cultural, or economic groups within Asia itself. Something to consider before extending your coverage.
When people hear asia they think about china japan korea ext.. and they don't consider India as part of Asia but you are giving importance to India as well as a part of Asia you are really an Asian boss.
That guy in suit holding the mic with the glasses is hot and well spoken. I want him.
I personally feel she's better than Sheetal
Prayanchi xo exactly
It's impressive that most of these Indians can actually see and acknowledge what is happening in their countries. I saw so many people who don't even want to talk about the "bad part" of their countries because they think its shameful thing. But first step for fixing problem is acknowledging there is one. Good job Indians!
sam water What? The Chinese are doing the most about their environment, more than any developed nation. Let's not even talk about India.
Maverick watch the pollution video on China in this video! Lol they say something along the lines of more pollution equals more development...
Maverick like in a way they like won't accept it's a bad thing like there's more can't remember but watch the video they are so retarted
sam water All of the Chinese in the video accept that pollution is bad, but it's a consequence of development. Why is that wrong? Have you seen photos and videos of London, Tokyo, New York, and LA as recent as the 1980s? China has developed industry and has to suffer with the resulting pollution. Using the industry and manufacturing capabilities they acquired, they can begin to clean up. India has little industrial capacity and yet still suffer from the same thing. India's only going to get worse while China's gonna get better in the next decade.
Austin Hughes no I remember exactly This man said it doesn't matter more pollution equals growth something like that
So sad... Indians are such smart and friendly people, they don't deserve that in their beautiful country
its a complex case. dusts in that region are not only local, but also coming from far away middle west countries as well. and there is no quick remedy against it.
iceberg789 Over 25% of the Air pollution in San Francisco, California comes from China. You are right, air pollution is a Global issue.
The smog in Toronto is not nearly as bad as it was during the 1970's 1980's. It used to be that you could barely see the buildings downtown from Q beach. That and you definitely wouldn't want to even wade in the lake. Things have gotten much better over the years, but that is in large part due to most of the manufacturing jobs going over seas and tighter rules on set on what factories have to do to treat the pollution they release into the air.
Pakistani spotted
but we choose the dumbest politicians
As a white Australian... These Indians speak better English than me
we sure do.
Valyrian Steve ayyye that's really sweet of you. Anyway English is English after only the accents are different
Valyrian Steve what
stfu and dont be arrogant

I came here just because I like to hear Indians talk, yes... I live in a Small town.
Which country are you from?
Japanese?
David Jordon u not even an Indian!
David Jordon dude you are not even indian , why would you even type that ?
Lmfao
Indian culture is completely different to what I thought, this is super cool
Ida Kongensøy, no. I didn't think English would be as widely and fluently spoke. I didn't realise pollution was such a huge problem and how aware the people are about it. Ive also never seen what Indian cities actually look like (the extent of this are a few roads from a top gear episode). Don't assume everything is racist lmao
TheFeels I remember that Top Gear India special!
maybe you should take it upon yourself to not rely on whatever the media shows. and perhaps pick up a few books, interact with people from around the world, or travel. it's painful to see so much ignorance about india honestly.
TheFeels that's cool that u are learning something and even appreciating it. Idk why the ppl in the comments here are getting triggered lol
tyio Namester what do you mean by 'relevant' huh? How can you decide whether a country is relevant or not. India has the 6th fastest growing economy and u say that's not 'relevant' like seriously?
Is it just me or is there something soothing about an indian accent?
Really ?? I thought everyone finds our accent irritating :(
sneh gupta I know people who do find it annoying but hopefully the majority of people don't. Cos that's just sad.
sneh gupta the stereotypical indian accent is annoying but normal urban indian accent sounds pretty good.
I think you are right but glad to know :')
I love indian accent! I wanna go and visit India someday. Love their culture.
It is very interesting that the Indians know so much about the pollution and how well informed about it they are. Also, a majority of Indians are fluent in Hindi & in English because they are taught it in school which is why you can just walk up to them and ask these questions in English.
FZ Channel in India even, the lower class people like taxi driver, fruit seller, street hawkers know enough English to communicate with foreigners because there are so many language and English is just like a lingua franca.
In the southern part, students are trilingual like me.::) I speak Telugu, Hindi, and English too
Majority of Indians aren't fluent in Hindi and English though. Urban India is English friendly.. As for Hindi.. It's mostly the North that actually speaks it on a daily basis both urban and rural. In the Northeast and South, we use English or the predominant local language as the link language.
FZ Channel They are not upper class, maybe upper middle or middle class.
@FZ Channel No, I have an Indian friend whose dad grew up in a small village in Kolkata in the 70s and was taught English in school from a young age, and despite not actively practicing it among his friends (they spoke in Bengali amongst one another and at home the vast majority of the time), he still became fluent in English (although still retaining the accent and some pronunciation discrepancies). Through sheer hard work and education, he made it out of that vikkage and to America, and he wouldnt have survived here without his English
One thing I really admire about Indians and their culture is they understand the need to be well informed, and it's reflected here. I mean, they may not have all the facts(in fact, unless it's their area of expertise, they most certainly would not), but they work with the information they've been exposed to and try to think practically. I liked how even those that seemed to think that much of the problem was due to crop burning, gave concession to the farmers that they hadn't been educated on, or did not have the facilities available to use alternative methods, and seemed to feel that this needed to be addressed instead of simply just blaming the farmers. It's so refreshing to see this kind of discussion. And for the sake of the Indian people and their environment, I hope the government really does act on this.
Thank you for such an insightful comment. I feel our education system is quite fucked as it is in terms of providing quality learning so Indians tend to take it upon themselves to read, stock up on knowledge, and be as well informed as possible. This was a surprise that even I got when I moved back to India after growing up in the States.
Fake Name u exactly caught my point.
Well it's also a problem that many of the government officials are uneducated.
You can see the stark difference between Indian and Chinese response. Though the pollution may be same but the answers are so different. While Indians have no problem in acknowledging the pollution Chinese always gives excuses and deny in many instances. The difference is probably due to freedom of speech in India while in China speaking like these Indians could land them in prisons as such statement can be interpreted as anti-national.
Simply because air pollination of Delhi is much higher than Beijing

@@DongShengStories why are you copy pasting the same thing in every comment dude?
well, our air pollution isn’t bad to the point where the smog clouds visibility so like gtfo
Delhi air pollution is much worse than what it is in China.
Also, it isn't about the government or about the law. If you asked a different set of Indians the answers could've been different.
though the pollution may be same but actually it's not the same. You guys never went to these two countries. You are just expressing biases based on the fake news...

Their vocabulary range is a goal for me as a non native English speaker!
OK so by studying the comment section im quiet confused whether this vdo is about focusing on the rising problems of air pollution in India or how some people are amazed (or butt-hurt) by observing how well these Indians can speak English. really im cringing.
yes sister
Well you are right.
(butt hurt)XD
Yah right
Lol I just noticed
This is so interesting! I would love more Indian interviews on this channel. Also, their English is amazing?!
rainfrog mine is not good
Don't get your hopes too high on English, these are big cities we are talking about, come out of there and ask random people about this in non metropolitan cities and you will still get the answer but in richly cultured differnt Indian languages like Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujrathi, Tulu, Konkani and 100s more, I think these people should definitely speak their mother tongue because world knows English, Asian Boss is interviewing Indians then why not speak Indian tongue.
asian boss: interviewing indians about air polluting
other countries:their english is amazing
but here me being a indian don't how to speak English when someone comes to me and ask a question
just sits like a potato 😑

Depends on taste , are you interested in Nature or Indian culture ?
Weaver Bird Indian culture
you should go to north east india..its practically untouched...beautiful nature among himalayas...no pollution...experience native indian cultures...definitely google it ..and it will cost you so less money(when i travelled it cost me around 25000 rs=400 dollars )...
India ❤️ China
Spring season is great to visit for travelling. Is you want to be in peace (hillstation+ sea+ spice market/farming +beach at the same time) , opt for Kerala. Mumbai or Kolkata (Industralized and modern) for a European feel. Jaipur for Royal Indian palaces . North EastIndia for extremely rainforesty ,pure and virgin forests.Northern borders of India have more of a Tibet-ish culture.. Bodh gaya cuz buddhism .. And Goa for modern beach culture.. Andaman and Nicobar Islands for island adventures.
I like the objectivity and sincerity of indian people, not scared or ashamed to say what they think and able to analize the truth around them with self-criticism. They just answer to the question they are supposed to answer to, without making comparisons with other countries and without going around the topic, maybe putting inside some historical issue. I see a lot of differences with eastern asian people, especially here in China. Good job guys!
Its funny how their are so many racist comments on an Indian related video but very little on the Korean and Japanese videos
saeefa I was about to comment this.
Yea, people primarily judge cultures on the basis of economic prosperity and how developed a country is.
@@rishab5293 skin color is also a main factor. East Asians tend to have lighter skin compared to darker skinned Indians
@@evab1741 you really replied to a 2 year old comment.
You shouldn't draw too many conclusions from message boards like this one. It has become very clear over the past 4-6 years that certain countries (China and Russia) invest quite a lot in provoking hate, dissent and disinformation by using bots and trolls on major internet platforms and social media sites. This includes UA-cam.
Of course there is racism in the world against Indians. It isn't all bots. But China is very busy trying to assert dominance over India in all sorts of ways right now and that includes causing all kinds of dissent online. Keep the citizens distracted and they won't pressure their government to act externally against external threats. That's the strategy.
Every Indian should be talking about THIS - not petty things like childish racist comments made online. (That includes childish comments like the anti-British one made above. Anyone (real or bot, real Indian or fake) still complaining about Britain in 2021 is a worthless distraction. The same goes for anti-Indian comments, sexist comments, etc etc...)
- Spread the word - The democratic, free world needs a strong India.
Hey India. It's your chance to OUT DO America. Turn that pollution around and get rid of it. Show the world your ready to become a leader for clean air. :D
Nanette Sage India seems to be willing to contribute in the Paris Agreement. We'll just have to see I guess
Nanette Sage I hope so💞
Nanette Sage our problem is our farmer burn crops they just wouldn't put money for labour to get rid of waste and just burn it instead
@@vandanashukla1174 that's not it I am from Haryana and there are many reasons for burning the crops I think though I am not a farmer I am just a student but my grandfather is a farmer.
It is especially difficult for a developing country to curb pollution.

Thank you
First of all, these young guys look very nice and promising.
They are able to express their opinions very fluently in English.
They are probably the best asset India has.
So bad that Inia has this horrible pollution problem.... land, air and beyond.
Not whole India only some metropolitan cities.
Compared to china
Indians are the best
Also because of china their pollution is coming to south korea
I m sorry but the video is misleading as they say whole India is affected by pollution but the fact is only delhi and few metropolitan cities are affected .....
Prit Singh That is what one of the guys said. He said the non-metro areas are fine.
Asian boss itself is biased. They only take survay in delhi or mumbai. Never come to south india
I think it is fine, in this case, since the issue was clarified in the actual interviews.
they are speaking English so there is no need for subtitles we can understand them
Their accent is harder to understand especially for non-native english speakers.
I agree, but it is necessary if you aren’t familiar with Indian accents or spoken English.
Kieren Buckley The only problem is that they speak incredibly fluidly. We chop our words. My doctor is great, funny as hell. But it's hard to talk sometimes. Ifineedtohaveaquestion. It takes time. But again, great people.
Kieren Buckley not everyone is from an english speaking country and not everyone speaks english fluently so it's so much better with subtitles
dont forget the deaf...
Can we just take a minute to rate the articulate contributors and brilliant well rounded answers they gave.
They speak English pretty good

really thank you i thought people find are accent funny

Actually Mumbai is polluted city in india. Here people don't follow rules and regulations. For example, riksha guys (indian taxi) use diesel mixed with some oils, causing major air pollution. These people are uneducated and corrupted.
Major reasons for air pollution in delhi ncr region are:
1) Crop burning in agricultural areas of North India during months of October and November.
2) Large amount of vehicles in and near the city.
3) Industrial development to the extent of saturation.
4) Pollutants released from constructional sites.
5) Almost no rain during winters
6) Since it is not a coastal area, breeze movement during winters is negligible which doesnot allow the air to circulate.

Pollution is serious problem for whole world just try to plant one tree in a year.. it will really help alot and improve the situation of environment
Planting trees doesn't help pollution.
AnimeBeefRandoms yes it does by producing more Oxygen avoiding soil erosion attracting rains..

Vibhor Sharma I'm just saying
When I went to Delhi OH MY DAYS. The sky was black. However a few hours trip to Agra and it was sun blue skies. The difference is alarming!
what an interesting video! I liked how the people in the interview seemed well aware off the situation and gave very insightful answers. Never heard of crop burning before. Thanks for giving me new insight :)
Being surprised that Indians speak English isn't racist, it's just ignorant. It's a fairly well-known fact that U.S. schools aren't great at educating about foreign countries, so this isn't a surprising reaction. Some countries have bad pollution, other countries have bad education. We can't all have everything.
darkwoodmovies Why should anyone know anything about a third world country like India which has nothing to distinguish it and thus isn’t of importance to anyone? There’s like 200 countries and only a few of them matter.
I mean, it wouldn't be hard to memorize a few basic facts about 200 countries. And also, India has one of the largest populations in the world. And they'll be where China is in a few decades.
darkwoodmovies Having a large population doesn’t mean anything. And how do you know they’ll ever catch up with China? There’s no evidence for it and everything points to it stagnating and even retrogressing.
I'm not an expert in India or anything, but pretty much every country in the world is advancing. As new technologies get developed in the west, they'll make their way over to the developing countries soon after. Consider that almost everyone in India now owns a smartphone. Think of how it will be once tech is even more advanced.
darkwoodmovies I don’t see how that makes them any more relevant to the rest of the world.
Awesome video guys! Thanks Steve and Asian boss for shedding light on such topics. So good to see India's interviews again , they always seem so smart and straightforward.Hope to see Sheetall's interviews soon, love them the most tbh.

Its a major problem in North India and Delhi because it is landlocked. South India is closer to the water and pollution can be dissipated by the winds. India needs to engage in serious tree planting and greenery in major urban centers and rural areas, new tech for air pollution and serious metro solutions so there are fewer cars.
Millions of trees have been already planted.. many NGOs are working for it. But we need more of them

A very interesting topic I didn't really know about (I'm from France), I love your channel, keep going making us discover more about asian cultures, I will share it with
my friends!
Burning crops is definitely a big factor which leads to a severe air pollution, I don't understand why government just let all the farmers do that. Most importantly, if government stop them from doing that, the air quality would be improved a lot and it doesn't cost too much money. That's basically the most effective way to deal with air pollution atm.
Some of the people in the video actually mention the problem. The farmers will burn crops because it's convenient and necessary to their livelihood. Farmers don't have a good standard of living. They are uneducated on the issue of pollution and lack the proper support from the government to justify the tradeoff of not burning crops. It's a bit complicated.
Another politically correct comment.... Pls collect some data about pollution from crop burning, it's effect on air pollution, and collect data of industrial air pollution around metro cities. And also collect data on air pollution by local administration by burning municipal waste just to reduce it's size and few bucks. Do some basic research and you will see that those middle class, poor Farmers are just a decoy to the real problem. You need appropriate infrastructure to reduce industrial air pollution and it cost money to keep that infrastructure running. That's where politicians hold hands with Industrialists. Big donations to party funds, and bla bla bla are very common. Oh sorry this is propaganda don't believe in this. Farmers are the main culprit. Put those uneducated bastards in jail.
shit i read that 'burning corpse'...
Cpt. Haddock Nobody said they should be put in jail. The government should step in and educate the farmers about what they are doing and why they shouldn't be doing it. A relatively easy thing to do to help reduce pollution.
It has a political angle to it..
It’s so bad that we had to cancel visiting our family in India because of the pollution, it’s really bad.
Maria J. Oh that's bad
Maria J. Well you can visit other places in india where there is less pollution especially in the north eastern part of india which is worth exploring
Air pollution is a problem in Delhi and mostly metropolitan cities. It's not a generalised problem in India. You could've visited Rajasthan, Kerela, Goa, Himalayas and North east Indian, these places are worth visiting and free of such pollution.
Right now delhi is the most polluted city in india...
*Gwalior
In the world
Thanks for including India in Asia! Hahaha
OMG!! And I thought São Paulo (brazil) had much pollution. But apparently in New Delhi its very worse 😱.
Beijing too.
Any indian to answer it
This much pollution is only in area around Delhi and the state of Uttar Pradesh. Rest of India is fine . Maximum of the areas have satisfactory air quality. Also in Delhi 52%of pollution is because of dust which can be eradicated(to a certain level) by plantation and covering up plains by roads or walkways. But our governments are idiot.
shashank jain No it's not. Lots of cities in India are more polluted than China's cities. There are 4 Indian cities in the top 10 most polluted cities in the world while China has 2 and that 2 Chinese cities are the 9th and 10th cities. The 4 Indian cities are ranked the 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th most polluted. Within the top 20 most polluted cities in the world, India has a whopping 10 cities while China has 4. Source is from The Guardian.
I don't think Rio is as polluted as Delhi
Andrés Iniesta as Jain said most of India isn't that polluted just big mega cites like Mumbai & Delhi & so on
Villages are much better in terms of pollution
Guardian report maybe right but some cites don't make the whole country.

I agree that it would be nice to hear about problems in those countries, but don't most of those fall under the category of 'Middle East'?
I get that technically some of them belong to the Asian continent, but I think it would confuse a lot of people. It would be great, though, if someone in that area could start up something like this, of their own. Then it could be more specified and accurate, probably.
EmmylouBauer West Asia is in the middle East... So technically they're interchangeable

@ᏒᎯᎻᏬᏝ abe usko hindi nhi aati. woh malaysian hai indian nhi
I think the air pollution in India becomes cumulatively more apparent during this season because of an over 50% reliance on a fossil fuel-based energy source - coal. This occurs especially if the energy industry has not begun to apply energy efficient carbon capture/reduction technologies.
Crop/brush burning only adds to the already precarious carbon loading.
Like one of the interviewees said, the farmers should also be made aware of their deleterious practice. I think they could form co-operatives, through which they can purchase incinerators that meet acceptable air emissions criteria/requirements.
We keep on saying "government"... The government "officials" can only do very little, but pass and enforce whatever policies they like. IMHO, "the people" are the government.
People like to choose the easy path & just blame the govt
And not take responsibility
Even though Delhi use CNG for vehicle & improving & investing green energy like solar , it is still polluted.
I too share your concern but recent initiatives have given me hope...like government is setting a goal to replace all the diesel/petrol vehicles to electric vehicles by 2030......it has already started ,a majority of buses and taxis are being replaced by electric ones...and the government is trying to make a market for electric vehicles.....similarily you can see govt is trying to switch to solar energy very hard...recently world's second largest solar park became operational in march 2017...and the best thing is that as you can see in the video people are aware of the pollution and that makes govt do things to improve their efforts or they are criticised and voted off..
The pollution in NCR and Dehli is actually from crop burning of crops in areas like Punjab and Haryana
I didn't realize this was such a big issue, although it makes sense with how much industrial expansion is going on there, so thanks for covering this.
Finally!! Thank you Anjali for addressing this topic! My family went to visit relatives in Dehli right after Diwali and my sister got horrible headaches that she couldn't get up for a day. And even though we were just walking we'd be out of breathe in no time. I remember driving towards Dehli and seeing a gray cloud surround it, whilst the surrounding area had clear blue skies.
for those suffering from bronchitis may i suggest liquid propolis as a remedy if conventional pharmaceutical products does not work.
i used to suffer from it ever since childhood but had it rid off thanks to propolis while conventional pharmaceuticals turned me into somewhat of a trembling junkie addict for years.
The smog in Los Angeles used to be awful, but just a relatively short time later and the air here isn't bad at all. It may not be wyoming pure, but it's certainly breathable.
Crushenator500 If India can find ways to regulate this then it can be solved.
It gets pretty bad here in Korea.
It is indeed, but I would bet it's not as bad as in China or India.
I was really looking for more diversity, the profile you usually ask are educated young men and women. Please ask people with different backgrounds, education level, and so on.
India is a country with big variations and challenges, showing the views of only the elite part of India can be very misleading.
Thanks Anjali. You took note of problem n tried creating awareness....keep it up
In my country, Philippines people in Cebu City are now experiencing HAZE from Indonesia. 😢 I appreciate this video. 👍
My city is one of the greenest city in india like any other small cities but in a populated and developed cities like delhi mumbai this is very big problem our govt is trying best
Might sound inappropriate regarding the serious subject, but Anjali is just insanely attractive. Thank you.
The local government needs to crack down on crop burning and pay for more parks.
HotCocoaLover the farmers are an important voter base and rich too
this was interesting. thanks for making this! everybody should take this seriously, not only people now affected by it. its the same planet, it will spread.
measurement of pollution is data based... it is not perception based. No point of asking people about the extent of pollution. better question would be.. that how people are managing to survive in such a misery.
And perception is based on facts
200 ppm 300 ppm PM2.5
They read it on signboards newspapers etc
It’s based on facts unlike your observation
Wow, the racism in this comment section is pathetic. Did your moms ever teach you to "not say anything if you have nothing polite to say"?
I am against restricting or blocking comments but you may have to if it continues like this Asian Boss. Just horrendous.
Chuck Beau Buck all the racist comments are coming from whites not other asians.
Seanders Racism is actually a thing in india. Google it
Partho Sarothi Paul, yep! We know who the real racists are.
iFoRMaTioN1 WOW I thought people knew that white privilege didn't exist like god,good people,and respect for one's opinion.
but Indians are scientificly proven to be about 80% white so its nonsence to call them asians
I clicked on to see cute guys..;-)

"On Tuesday, the Indian Medical Association declared the situation a “public health emergency.” The current haze comes on top of air pollution so bad it killed 2.5 million people in India in 2015, according to an article published last month in the medical journal The Lancet - more than in any other country."
And.
"For Arvind Kumar, a chest surgeon for more than three decades, the situation is adding to a growing health crisis in the region. “I don’t see pink lungs even among healthy nonsmoking young people,” he said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. “The air quality has become so bad that even if you are a nonsmoker you are still suffering.”
From the New York Times. It is a crisis that a lot of cities all over the world need to work to avoid right now. I live in Park City and we have really clean air, however, when I go to Salt Lake City from PC I can see the pollution laying atop not only the city, but the greater Salt Lake area. I really hope that governments around the world can start focusing on this issue because it effects you whether you are the one polluting or not.
can't we celebrate Diwali without fireworks
it's a festival of lights and we can celebrate it without fireworks . technology has developed,various kinds of electrical lights are available
what do you think?
please help me spread this
It's common for Indian households to have 3-4 cars? wtf
Razear yup, especially in New Delhi..
Its seen as a symbol of status and there are a lot of rich people in New Delhi
Not common, but there are many many such examples
Not that common But 2 cars is very common especially in Delhi.
I don’t know if they are also including mopeds and motorcycles because those are pretty common
Video from 5 years ago talking about air pollution. But why am I here for these Indians. I mean why they looks so good. Haha
1:30 I'm literally dying to know how that guy is, like he's even cuter than any celebs I've ever seen.
U from which part of India??
@@goodboygaming1473 Manipur
Samee
Wait some people dont think pollution is that bad? Do we live in a world where people are purposely covering their eyes and ears or what?
you got confused, when they said "dont think pollution is that bad?" it means that the LEVEL of pollution is not as bad. It doesn't mean they think pollution is good.
Who told u air pollution is india is that bad no only in delhi and some metro rest is 10.times better than seoul
I feel sometimes so proud bcoz India is now trying their best to be a good country but when the topic of cleaness comes, I feel very bad for that, I'm an Indian and I know this problem very well
0:49 That dude is crazy right .
Please explain them delhi is not india it's a part of india( they are saying that pollution levels are high in india but we all know that it only happens in few parts of india) so they must mention that this video is based on a specific area not whole country
Economy development and consumerism are not everything in life. Perhaps health and life itself have their importance too, eh?! Think about it.
I'm sorry I couldn't help but notice how well Koreans are dressed. Cheers from India!
Is there any effort to increasing "green spaces" to help mitigate the pollution? If more trees were planted along streets, more green parks created in undeveloped or delapidated neighborhoods, and gardens encouraged atop all flat roofs, it might help. Another partial solution could be to begin building earth-sheltered structures with lawns overhead, which would increase the recreational or food crop-growing usability of developed property, while reducing heating and cooling outputs (thus reducing power demands), among other benefits.
Cetok01 in the cities, the government actually tags each of the trees with spray paint as a mark that they are counted to prevent people from cutting them down
Good ideas and I think by implementing it there would be reduction in pollution
But we still have focus on the root cause of pollution & solve it.
Have Green space helps about 25% but rest of 75% the problem remains
We are one of the biggest generators of renewable energy. The government has a goal of producing 20000GW energy using renewable sources by 2020.
Am I the only one not surprised by their English speaking? English is one of their main languages... Britain sure made sure of that lol
M K Well they kinda did
They endorsed education and built a lot of schools/colleges/universities in the 19th century
Not really, if the brits didn't even try to spread education in the mid-late19th century things would have been different in the sub continent.
No successful uprising;No English Speaking.
Literacy rate of India was 3.2 % in the late 1800s ,which grew to about 14% in 1947,74%(approx) now.
They kinda established more in the east ( Bengal and Bihar now ).
Even Rural Areas have such establishments for education ( Even now )
Liquid X you are illiterate
@Manu verma Colonial acts had it's dark and light shades but it's not that it's always dark
Steve, you should probably wear a mask. The air around doesn't seem good in the video.
He probably took it off for the purpose of the video? He's only recording for a few minutes.
I know that it's bad here in Korea, but it's not as bad as the stuff they described from Dehli.
I AM lucky I am living in India......Himachal Pradesh (search this place you will get to know why ??)😍😍😍
