What : say no to the big cos that are making a port in Dharma that further endangers turtles that use that area as a nesting ground. http://greenpeace.in/turtle/why-save-the-turtles 

  Who : we, against tatas, LnT ... read the other side http://dhamraportandturtles.blogspot.com/   Where and how : Near the Mahatma Gandhi statue , which is in the park adjoining the stadium. Going to carry a hammer and allow concerned people to smash my tatasky box. bring your box too. not a very large money loss if you consider that if you switch the other co will give you 3 months subscription free. anyway plan to carry a few photo copies of articles from the web on this too so people can read about it there if they have not seen yet. posters would be good too.

I wish there was a way to limit that - maybe education on where not to fish but don't see much headway in that.   anyway if there is too much traffic near my house - I don't want more to be added cause anyway a few die in accidents - so what difference if a few more ....

expose one report or another. even if some activists distort facts it does not change the fact that the turtles who nest there are going to be affected. some of them are killed by fishermen's nest. I wish there was a way to limit that - maybe education on where not to fish but don't see much headway in that.

 

anyway if there is too much traffic near my house - I don't want more to be added cause anyway a few die in accidents - so what difference if a few more ....

 

if its more than one co than tata - so be it - tell them all. but the message is the same "let the turtles have their nesting sanctuary, we humans can develop elsewhere or maybe redefine development to include the right for other species to live.

 

I can afford a car but don't. rather use public transport, borrow my dads,  hitch a ride or higher a taxi if there is a dire need  ... still have a big pollution footprint ... but minimise is the aim.

 

I think we owe it to nature for being the most powerful and smart to do more to stop its destruction. and the best part is that it pays back. in the long run more sanctuaries means more plants and trees ... a better world.
