Earth Hour – A Global Climate Change Initiative

March 19, 2010 12:10 ⋅ Priya Q

Earth Hour 2010 - 27th March (8:30 pm)

Now who is not accustomed to unpredictable weather these days? Extreme winters and summers, unexpected showers or heat waves; catastrophes like tsunamis, earth quakes and hurricanes are now more regular in the news than before. “Global warming”, “Climatic changes”, “Monsoon delay”,…etc. are terms that have become household discussion points. Yet how many of us consciously try to do something about it? Nothing earth shattering, but something as small as switching off the non essential lights and appliances or switching of the television when you are not in the room?? Read more...

Oresund Bridge (Øresundsbron) – Connecting Denmark and Sweden

Two man made marvels & what a sight!! ……Oresund Bridge (Øresundsbron)

With the Copenhagen summit preparations going on in full swing and every news media house piling in with snippets about the country of Denmark & its beautiful capital city Copenhagen, I would like to showcase a sight & two man made marvels – which I saw couple of months back when I was traveling from Copenhagen.

Both the marvels I saw were on my train ride from Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo in Sweden. One of the most beautiful stretches of travel that had a refreshing touch and an everlasting imprint on my memory. Read more...

Global warming!

November 24, 2009 09:18 ⋅ Priya Q

Conference on climatic change recently held at Hyderabad got manufacturers, sellers, policy makers etc together under one roof discussing various challenges and opportunities in India for energy conservation and generation. There is another such conclave coming up in Copenhagen, Denmark. Its a burning topic, but what possible positive results emerge from these meetings is yet to be seen.

Today on the day of the launch of the Jawaharlal Nehru solar mission that aims at an installed capacity of 20,000 MW by the end of 13th five year plan in 2022, I would like to share a short poetry sent to me by a concerned citizen Girija Acharya.

Your Planet Needs You! UNite to Combat Climate Change

June 5, 2009 07:00 ⋅ Priya Q

That’s the theme for this year’s World Environment Day (WED) which is hosted during the week of June 5. This day actually brings me fond memories of the educational activities I planned during my stint at SunTechnics India (Bangalore). Planting sapling, sessions on climatic change and importance of energy conservation at schools, fun activities at malls…hmm. The subject had become close to my heart like never was. I have been writing about global warming, relevance of usage of renewable source of energy in the current scenario, tips for conserving energy etc in my earlier blog posts. Read more...

Thinking – sensibly, rationally and reasonably

Global warming is not an unheard topic today. There have been movies released on this subject to boost the awareness level amongst the world citizens. Be it be An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore or 11th Hour by Leonardo De Caprio, the movie carried a strong message of the consequences of the human negligence towards the Mother Nature.

The energy requirement in India is just scaling up. Renewable source of energy is a concept yet to catch up to its potential. Subjects like green and clean environment, energy conservation have been close to my heart for a decade. There is so much we can do as an individual. Read more...

An Inconvenient Truth

July 4, 2007 12:32 ⋅ Priya Q

Conergy, the group company of SunTechnics made its launch in India official on 3rd July by screening the academy award winning documentary film – An Inconvenient Truth. I was lucky enough to be a part of SunTechnics since the entry was by invite only.

An Inconvenient Truth, brilliant but shocking movie. Brilliant, because the level of detailing Al Gore has gone into to put across his views on climatic change more so on Global warming is phenomenal. Shocking, because the facts shown in the movie were quite alarming. From showing the level increase in carbon dioxide to possible extinction of polar bears, to the melting of ice sheets at Greenland or Antarctic and its effect on sea level and coastal area inhabitants, rise in temperature in the last 10 years, growing population etc Al Gore showed it all. And I must admit in a very impressive and articulated manner. Read more...

New Delhi without winters, a ferry ride to the Gateway of India, an island within Chennai, drought in Cherrapunji are few of the scenarios we can expect to witness if global warming is not arrested or slowed down soon.

Disappearing grassland, perishing cattle and wild life, infertile lands, low agricultural produce, floods, droughts and earthquakes will become the order of the day.

It is said that 2035 is said to be the year when the Himalayan glaciers would totally melt and vanish causing catastrophic disruptions. Vector borne diseases, like dengue and malaria, are expected to rise sharply across India as changes in temperature makes it conducive for mosquitoes to thrive. Heat stress would cause deaths. In the past 150 years, the 11 hottest years were witnessed since 1995. Read more...

From a technology company where everyday all I heard was something related to coding, software, security et all to a renewable energy company, where each day what I hear is subjects like sustainable development, environment, non conventional sources of energy, systems…. it has been an interesting transition from a software company to SunTechnics.

I have been reading about the energy sector and thought would share my views…

We all dream of being citizens of a self sufficient country. We felt proud on going nuclear. But, as far as energy scenario in India is concerned, there is a long way to go. Read more...
