Save Badha Lake- Lost Glory of Fazilka
24 October 2009 - 10:00am
Fazilka was established by British Mr Oliver on the bank of horse shoe lake Badha, which was then spread in the area of about 17 acre. He was impressed with the biodiversity of this area. This area was with the full of peacocks and other migratory birthday. This was amongst the best know 32 wetlands of Punjab as per the record of punjab state science and technology council.
With the diversion of satuluj water and greedy deeds of mankind, made this entire wetland as dry area. Illegal sand mining from the lake bad further worsen the problem. We the members of Graduates Welafare Association Fazilka are already highlighted this problem. on 24th October, we are going to start citizen movement at Badha Lake, where each citizen will pour a glass of water in the catchment area of lost badha lake for the sake of creating awareness amongst the citizen and to made goverment organisations to takeup the environment cause at the earliest.

Understanding 350
- So, what is global warming and what's the problem anyway?
- And what does this 350 number even mean?
- If we're already past 350, are we all doomed?
- How do we create the political change to steer towards 350?
- How do we get the world on track to get to 350?
- How do we actually reduce carbon emissions to get to 350??
- Will this thing work? Will world leaders listen?
- Where did this 350 number come from?
- Isn't America the biggest source of the problem? What about China and India?
- 350 is just a number. Wouldn't "Climate Emergency" or "Clean Energy Now" be a better call to action?
- And what about all the other targets people are aiming for?
- Why October 24th?
- Why another organization--there are already too many things going on!
- Do you measure 350 in CO2 or CO2e?
