Shri Ramesh says: the greenery around the abandoned premises of Union Carbide was better than most other places, and asked “Would it have been (so) with all the toxicity around?” Hope Mr. Ramesh is aware tht even Chernobyl site is teeming with nature but still not fit for humans http://bit.ly/3k4vDw

“I went inside today, touched toxic material and I am alive. I am not
coughing,” Jairam Ramesh on visiting Union Carbide Factory in Bhopal.

You have been saying a couple of things about this blog.

You say, this is too pessimistic.

You say, tell us the solutions.

You say a lot and don't do much.

Alright. Here's a deal. We are going to tell you what to do about the fact that the food you are eating is poisoned by genetically modified ingredients.

And we are going to tell you about what to do about the toxic paint you have been putting on your walls.

But first, you must know about these two things in detail.

Here's the first one. About food.

Greenpeace released this study today and it tells you the brands which use those sick ingredients. Click here. You know you want to. To make it easy we are making the whole damn line clickable. Click and download the report and read it. Remember it's the food you eat. Every single day.

And then number two.

The toxic paint you have been putting on your walls. Which causes stunted growth in children. Ironically, they use cute kids to sell you those paints. Click here to see the report. Damn, you have to read it and it's hard work. But hey, it's the children!

And now, what to do. Let's make this simple. You know the culprit brands. You are too lazy to write to the ministry. So here's what you can do in one easy step.

Boycott these products.

Surely, you don't want to bring home poison and feed it to yourself and your kids. Or, are you o.k doing it?

Now, don't start whining.

Delhi's water problems? This is how we did it.

Do you think we should also start the business of water tankers? They are pretty popular in Vasant Kunj. We will infest the water with less worms. White, wriggly worms. Promise! You will have to pay a little more for the water though.
Now, if you have time read a few links that pay tribute to our treacherous minds:
