Dear friends,
                    A Group of young enthusiasts have started a initiative to bring awareness among students and faculty across India on clean energy. Pls scroll down for further the details.

Carbon credit race is a clean energy competition between students and faculty of India. It is an opportunity for standing up to what we believe, to promote clean energy and climate solutions. This is a beautiful way to engage colleges to implement sustainable projects simultaneously creating human resources which can turn our brown economy to green economy. A celebration of our unity, our belief for a better future through friendly competition among various colleges, so that end of the day we not just learn but grow too, together. 

Together, we'll make our campuses models of sustainability and spur

our nations to create whole new generation industries. 

Please find the attachment for more details regarding the Race and projects.

The group is presently looking for some funds to start the race. Any contribution will be

Can we make the maximum use of sunlight by switching off lights during the day?

Can we walk when we can walk and not drive?

As all roads and flights in the last fortnight led to Copenhagen for the climate summit, ordinary citizens of the world wondered what could possibly alter the already northbound climate change. The decisions taken at the summit may or may not alter the worsening situation, but if we are able to think ahead and put mother earth ahead of us, for the sake of posterity, we will have the satisfaction of doing our bit! For that, we will have to think of human beings and living beings first, Indian second and then Marathis, Malayalees or Timbuktoos. Considering the situation we are in, this seems to be a big ask, with even Sachin Tendulkar not spared. Any small step in the right direction will definitely be a giant leap for the mankind.

Can we decide to switch off the refrigerators in our house for one hour a day? Can we make a conscious effort to make the maximum use of sunlight by switching off lights during the day? Can we sacrifice the air-conditioners in the car for at least two days a week (excluding Saturday/Sunday)? Can we walk when we can walk and not drive? Could we be nice enough to ask our neighbour to pool car for work? Can we be bold enough to use the public conveyance for work once a week? Can we stick to the good old landline telephone and use mobiles only when absolutely necessary?
