We all are aware of the environmental degradation. We all are suffering from its ill affects. The rising temperature, the increased natural disasters,induced consumerism and the ever growing waste disposal.As India becomes one the epicentres of dumping e-waste, we feel its imperative to question what's stopping the economy to refuse the dumping? Why not send it back to the "Developed countries"? We feel its imperative to look at the environmental crisis with the economic paradigms. There is a whole story behind it. Hence, Earth-Shastra is here. Know more What has been wrong in the relationship between ecology and economics that we ended up here!
