Recycling is an excellent way of saving energyand conserving the environment.

Did you know that:1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to

power a television for 3 hours.1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy

to power a computer for 25 minutes.1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy

to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours.70% less energy is required to recycle paper

compared with making it from raw materials.

Public T ransport needs three times less energy and

emits three times less greenhouse gases than private car traffic. A study conducted for 50 cities worldwide hasrevealed.

In India, the use of public transport has gone down.During the 1950s, buses accounted for 11 % of registeredvehicles, now the figure stands at 1 %.

Private vehicle use is rising sharply. In Delhi, cars/

jeeps/ station wagons showed an annual compoundedgrowth rate of 9.27% in the decade 2003-2004.

In most developing cities, average trip distances areshort. Often over 60% of the trips are under 3 km. T husthere is a tremendous potential to increase the share of non-motorised mode of transport.

In most Indian cities, the trip share of pedestrians/non-motorised transport is higher than that for private modeof transport. But instead of facilitating this mode of transport, the government only focuses on building moreroads/flyovers, which benefit the private vehicles.

In H yderabad, the number of auto-rickshaws, two-wheelers and cars grew by over 150% during 1993-2002.

As per World Bank study paper of 2005- More than 43% of commuters in Mumbai walk to

work. T his is four times the number of those whouse private vehicles.

- But, most civic authorities have chipped away thesidewalks and pavements for wider carriageways.

As per World Bank study paper of 2002, In Hyderabad about20% of commuters walk to work.

As per L&T Ramboll, who conducted the study more recentlythe figure is much higher. The figure arrived at based onhousehold survey concluded that pedestrians constitute morethan 39% of traffic in Hyderabad.

In the past 100 years the concentration of carbon dioxide in theatmosphere has increased by 25%.

Global consumption of fresh water is doubling every twenty years.

The Earth's forest, freshwater and marine environments have

reduced by 30% in thirty years.

The Mercury from a single flourescent tube will pollute 30,000litres of water. The UK currently discards 300 million flourescenttubes each year. In the UK we currently recycle 3.5% of flourescenttubes compared to 72% in Scandinavia
