Why Indians do not have much awareness about pollution and environment?

less conscious on environment and pollution.. smoking, using hazardous products, making industrial pollution, not keeping the public places clean ( example bus stand , railway stations etc

    Its due to two reasons

    1.richer section in india are concentrated on competing with the developed nation and make india prosperous so they proceed towards their work without knowing that its going to affect the nation.

    2.poorest section dont even hav basic needs. so they pollute india to meet their daily needs

    I think that india is such a country where there is no time to see the basic things

    as the country's of the world are also have the same problem then why they are not aware of it

    India is such a wast and a under developing country and the above things what you have mentioned are common in all under developing countries

    all the above answers mentioned are of no use and they have lees knowledge about India

    as indian government has taken many steps on controlling pollution

    I am a indian and according to me i think we are no lees from others .

    Bcoz India is a developing country. Till today Many people are struggling to fill their minimum needs. They don't have time to think about the environment bcoz they think how they can get some money to ensure their childrens lunch and dinner as they are poor.

    This poor condition isn't correct about all indians.Indias economy is going up!! Everything is changing.. It is 100% true that Indians Love their country more than their life.

    confident, i'm able to truly say that Indians are responsive to ecosystem pollutants and international Warming. On twenty eighth March 2009, we'd be having the Earth Hour adventure that's envisioned to be participated by all the Indians. If we are partaking in such an adventure this is for the expertise of people in the direction of the difficulty of international warming and international climate substitute meaning all of us know approximately international warming.

    I take it your not talking about American Indians. So my guess would be 1. That the USA can't manufacture some of the chemicals used, so we go to 3rd world nations that don't have the strict laws that we do. Check out where Dupont has most of their chemicals and what not made. 2. Its a poorer country and they will do what they need to keep the commerce of their country going.

    I'm sorry but I feel alot of natives are aware.Selling the smokes off their land doesn't mean they are different than corner stores that sell smokes on non native land. Also pollution from cars,factories,planes in the sky are not all native doings.

    Now India is in developing stage, every one are new to the urbanisation and are lacking knowledge of awareness. Its not that we don't know anything...even US and Uk had suffered lot of development related diseases and environmental hazards.coz there, industrialization was boomed up in between 1800-1900s and was in peek at the time of WW1 and WW2..they overcame every thing then it self...it will take time for us to mature, or else if we should participate in WW3 actively...this causes lot of profit to country in every possilble way...

    You are wrong. They are well aware about it. But it's due to their ignorance when they think " when no one follows, why should I?

    Do you agree?
