Our environment is a delicate balance of climatic factors, and seemingly small changes, like 2° increase in average global temperatures, can be catastrophic for the life on earth. @DrJoeHanson @EarthStrikeInt

It’s been over 100 years since the first warnings, and yet we are still pumping the atmosphere full of CO2 and methane. #EarthStrike #GeneralStrike #ExtinctionRebellion

Ganga Waterway Project overruling recommendation from @moefcc, and skipped on the requirement of clearances. Two months ago, noted Ganga activist Prof. G.D. Agarwal, starved to death on a fast, seeking protection of the river considered sacred in the country. 2/2

[EarthStrike India @EarthStrikeIN]

A group of 50 experts and citizens, wrote to @moefcc @drharshvardhan urging the government to “urgently” make prior environmental clearances mandatory and legally binding for inland waterways projects. Last year @PMOIndia went ahead with the 1/2

Currently the only safe way to recycle circuit boards is to shred them for export. Annual export permits for circuit-boards have been routinely granted since 2007. But for the past one year, there has been a logjam in the issue of these permits by the @moefcc.

[EarthStrike India @EarthStrikeIN]

India is the 4th largest e-waste producer. A mere 5% gets recycled, compared to 20% globally. 95% of India’s e-waste is managed by the kabadiwalas, scrap dealers and dismantlers using dangerous methods to recover metals from circuit-boards and wires.

India’s toxic air killed 1.24 million people in 2017. The public’s apparent lack of concern about air quality gives federal and local politicians the cover they need for failing to address the problem. #EarthStrike @EarthStrikeInt

Delhi's worst air pollution this year raises fear of public health crisis https://t.co/WuvhKg9Tls

North Chennai is a dystopian landscape of fishing villages wedged between industry and the sea. For the last four years, Srinivasan has been battling for Chennai’s right to breathe. He heads the fishing community’s cooperative society that has been taking on big polluters.

The thermal ash spewed by power plants makes the air unbreathable. Fly ash contains trace quantities of toxic heavy metals and silica that accumulate in respiratory tracts and lungs. #EarthStrike

As climate change begins to take its toll, these stories are a foreshadowing of the imminent threat. Over 10% of the global population, lives in low-lying coastal areas. Rising sea levels would displace thousands from their homes. @EarthStrikeInt

'Many of its cities and megacities — Shanghai, Mumbai, Ho Chi Minh City and Jakarta among them — are in low-lying coastal areas susceptible to rising sea levels and storms sweeping in from the oceans."

"Asia is an engine of global economic growth. It is a key region for companies from around the world to manufacture in, source from and sell to. So #climatechange disasters in #Asia can have ripple effects half a world away."
