Today, have you put physical efforts to convert chemical energy in your body to heat energy
To understand the impact of this please read this thought provoking article on Doctors and let know your views:-
Where are our doctors
After reading this, we have two options:-
- We need to ensure balanced diet intake and also ensure to work hard by putting more physical efforts so as more heat energy is out of our body
- Or we can demand doctors to offer medical services at free of cost to those farmers who use harmful chemicals/fertilizers as they help doctors to get more patients(I am not joking as doctors in cities lure registered medical practioner/first-aid service providers to get more patients across the developing world)
Choice is ours!
One important reason why should we use smoke less bio-gas/biomass/induction stove for cooking needs?
Dung cakes are commonly used on country side by ignoring the side effects due to arsenic content in the somke emitted during burning of such bio-waste..

Those dung cakes could be harmful: Study
“We are explaining the harmful consequences of burning cow dung cakes. By using this as fuel, people from rural areas are prone to suffer from a lot of health problems. We are trying our best to convince them to
stop using this method. But, because they do not have access to modern facilities like LPG, electric stoves or solar power, people don’t often pay much heed to our advice,” explains Devdutt, programme coordinator, Janhit, a non governmental organisation. While on a visit to Meerut, an old city
near Delhi, a well-designed tower of dung cakes was a familiar sight. Use of cow dung cakes as fuel is a traditional method in many parts of rural India. Cow dung cakes are perhaps the cheapest burning fuel they
use for purposes of cooking.
However, burning of dung cakes causes serious health problems. According to health experts, the smoke released in the burning process contains hazardous gases. Studies show that by inhaling these, people suffer from diseases. There are specially made chulhas or stoves for using of dung cakes. Usually these cakes consist of groundnut husk; paddy straw is also used. When the cakes are burnt, dangerous gases are released, which is then inhaled by people. “Typically, poor women are victims of these
toxic gases. They have no alternative to dung cakes and thus they are forced to use them,” points out Shanthkumar, technical guide. There is another danger in eastern states of India and Bangladesh. Dung from cows that feed on pesticide-contaminated rice straw is dried and used in chulhas. When the dung cakes are burnt, hazardous gases are released and women sitting next to these chulhas inhale these gases. In many villages, a kitchen is a small room with no ventilator or window for circulation of air. Under such circumstances, the chances of women being affected with respiration-related ailments are high, health experts warn.
A study conducted by Jadavpur University shows that villagers in the Ganga, Meghana and Brahmaputra plains were exposed to smoke containing high levels of hazardous gases every day. This region’s groundwater is contaminated and this water is used by farmers to grow paddy. Cattle feed on polluted paddy and the dung is likely to contain arsenic. When people burn dung cakes, over 25 per
cent of the arsenic in fumes could be absorbed by the respiratory tract and this leads to lung cancer and other diseases. But there are solutions to this problem. One of them is the construction of gobar gas plants.
The government offers a huge subsidy for gobar gas plant construction, but there is a lack of commitment in implementing the scheme.

Business Line : OTHERS / STATES : CII moots cluster development of power plants
When the bug bites the big!
I hope CII remembers Thomas Alva Edison's birthday and his famous quote:-A good idea is never lost. Even though its originator or possessor may die without publicizing it, it will someday be reborn in the mind of another....
It's very nice that an young mind like Mr.Jay Galla has given rebirth to the idea of generating electricity and distributing to nearby areas and so on...In this article, when I read electricity cost as Rs.18 per unit by using diesel as fuel, I wonder why more and more companies cannot opt for electricity from solar, wind, biomass,etc!
Also since Mr.Jay's expertise is in battery industry, he can even drive electric economy especially for transport needs. Companies like of him should set example/role-model in venturing out into Electric Vehicles, so electricity
1.generated in clusters can be productively used for running an enterprise where storage may not be required
2.generated in homes can be productively used for many needs by using low energy consuming appliances, where storage may be required
3.generated in offices,factories,etc can be productively used where storage may not be required

The Hindu : NATIONAL / ANDHRA PRADESH : Bicycle rally to promote good health today
This is a very good move as humans have been consuming more chemical energy and the same is not converted into heat energy due to which fat accumulation, etc kind of health problems are on raise.
But a word of caution to authorities like VMC,Traffic Police is that roads are not any more safe and cycle tracks must be used for cycles and violators must be dealt with heavy fines,etc or else it will become an eye-wash kind of exercise by TI cycles kind of corporate companies to promote cycles!

Business Line : Industry & Economy / Economy : KREDL to set up ‘akshay urja shops' in tier-1 and 2 cities
This is a very good move so as the journey towards energy for all can be done in a sustainable way but the big caution of advice for KREDL is it should be made successful like MSIL but not as a failure like we see in a PDS shop!
KREDL must take larger interest to promote with ownership, responsibility and quality consciousness and it should be much better than Akshay Urja shops of MNRE which have been launched with big fan fare but not meeting the purpose like any other government welfare scheme!
