THIS
ANIMATED SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM is a revised version
of one of my published diagrams ( Pollution of Coastal Seas,
Resonance January 1999 vol. 4(1) 36-44, Indian Academy
of Sciences Bangalore) dealing with pollution and coastal environments.The
old version had two more fundamental background variables, viz..,'
world in balance' and 'sustainable global development'
. Then, the message I wanted to express was,
in a ' world in balance' or in a peaceful world, sustainable
development is possible, if exploration (research, surveying
etc.), exploitation(extraction, production etc.) and conservation
activities are balanced. How serious were pollutions
of rivers, seas, atmosphere and Earth about 40-60 years
back ! Much of the accumulated dirt and waste was cleaned
up, mainly from urban areas. But consequences of increasing
population, uncontrolled industrialization, cosumerism etc.
are overtaking all cleaning works. Atmospheric pollution and
global warming are subjects of international discussions and
debates with governmental and popular dimensions.
(Click here

wanted to bring to the attention of readers - animatedly
- the current global necessity of balancing development, science,
technology and conservation.
GOVERNMENTS
WITH POLICIES FOR GREEN TECHNOLOGIES AND
GREEN CITIES CAN SOLVE THE NATIONAL AND GLOBAL
PROBLEMS.
