- (1888PressRelease) June 06, 2011 - Delhi Mayor Prof Rajni Abbi released a poster with a message in a function organised to celebrate World Environment Day. Prof Rajni said "Think of metro as your personal limousine; public park as your personal farm house, city river your personal swimming pool AND keep them clean. My country clean Country"
On this occasion Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy National Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India said that all citizens of India should make efforts towards a safer and clean India.
Apart from external environment, we should also clean and look after our internal environment, he further added. He also appealed that manufacture of mercury instruments should be stopped. Environment health means not only reducing air pollution but also involves reducing the global warming, electromagnetic radiation pollution, and the noise pollution.
He said that one should switch over to CFL lamps as tube lights and bulbs consume more electricity compared to a CFL bulb. CFLs consume 75% less electricity and last 10 times longer. He recommended the use of CFL bulbs in fixtures that are kept switched on for more than two hours a day. A 23 watt compact fluorescent bulb can replace the 100 watts that a simple bulb requires. By just replacing 275 watt light bulbs that are switched on for four hours a day with 215 watt energy conservation lamps, one can save almost 18 kilowatt hours of electricity in an hour.
Mr. Satish Upadhaya Director IMCS said that one should saggregate the waste at source.
Dr. S.S. Agrawal, Professor, DIPSAR said that pollution, particularly if not tackled, may cause kidney failure and such other diseases. He also said that noise pollution not only disturbs the environment but also the ear health of a person. Experts have said that even listening to music with head phones, through iPod or a music CD player, can be harmful to the health of ear. Loudness of the sound is measured in decibels (dB) and any sound louder than 85 dB can cause hearing loss. The higher the decibel, the shorter the amount of time one is exposed to the sound before hearing loss occurs.
Eminent Kathak Dancers Ms Nalini and Ms Kamalini, said that one can be spiritually healthy only in an atmosphere of clean environment.
Acharya Dr. Sadhnaji Maharaj, President, World Fellowship of Religions, said that all the religions and dharmas talk about the importance of clean environment.
