Right
to clean air
Our
campaign started with blowing the lid on smog and exposing the
smog-makers. CSE launched a successful campaign to introduce
CNG as an alternative fuel for public transportation in a city
where a person dies every hour due to air pollution.The campaign
continues to fight for cleaning the air of the noxious pollutants
and to make breathing easier for all.
People's
Right to Water Management
The
rainwater harvesting campaign propagates a simple solution to
chronic water scarcity and drought: Catch water where it falls.
Any land anywhere can be used to harvest rainwater. The fundamental
reason: Extend the fruits of the monsoon. Taking measures to
keep water clean by not allowing polluting activities to take
place in the catchment area.
Sharing
rights over rivers
Nearly
800 million Indians depend on the 14 major river basins for
their water needs. Rivers provide 64 per cent of water used
every year in India. River water is diverted into irrigation
canals, dammed for hydropower, and is used for industrial and
domestic purposes. Ironically, almost all live-giving rivers,
lakes and streams in India are polluted and are fast becoming
public hazards. A positive change is possible only if people
assert their common rights over their rivers.
Equal
rights to the atmosphere
Equity
is a prerequisite for any global agreement, particularly when
dealing with the pollution of our atmosphere, a global common
property resource. Discussions on global warming and climate
change, however, threaten to put unequal burden on the nations
of the world. CSE campaigns for equal rights to the atmosphere
to be the basis of climate negotiations, and a model for sharing
common property resources.
