The state has leased a lake to a private company who wants to turn it into an entertainment park, but this will restrict public access and impact both humans and wildlife. Locals are concerned it will be too expensive for many to visit, fishermen will lose their livelihood, and noise/lights will scare away animals. The document suggests organizing protests and writing letters to pressure the government to keep lakes as public spaces for all.

Lake District Revision
The Lake District National Park is located in northwest England and covers over 2,000 square kilometers, making it the largest national park in the UK. It is easily accessible by car from major cities like Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, and Sheffield within a 2 hour drive, and also has a main train line running through Kendal. The landscape features high mountains, deep valleys, and large lakes that attract a variety of recreational users, but this also leads to conflicts between different groups over issues like noise, litter, and damage to natural areas. The Lake District National Park Authority works to manage these conflicts and protect the landscape.

The document tells the story of Fred the Fish and his journey through a river system that passes through various urban areas. As Fred swims downstream, he encounters different forms of pollution entering the river from construction sites, cars leaking oil, road salt runoff, litter, pet waste, car washing soapy water, farm fertilizer runoff, and household hazardous waste. All of these pollutants harm water quality and aquatic life. The document concludes by providing suggestions for educating others about water pollution prevention through activities like adopting a local waterway, presenting to classes, and choosing environmentally friendly products.

The document proposes an urban intervention called IRIS, which would revitalize 1 km of waterfront in Agios Nikolaos, Greece. IRIS is a hybrid infrastructure and public art proposal shaped like an "urban reef" made of porous armatures in different colors. It would stitch the city to the sea, providing access from streets to the water's edge and housing amenities like cafes, pools, and a theater. The reef would also generate renewable energy and feature art galleries and workshops along the street level promenade.

NON-MOTORIZED TRANSPORT - UTTIPEC
This document discusses the need to prioritize non-motorized transportation and pedestrians in urban planning in Delhi, India. It notes that the majority of trips in Delhi are walking or cycling, yet infrastructure investments primarily benefit private motorized vehicles used by the minority. Charts show walking and cycling account for over 50% of trips but receive little road space. Recommendations include promoting cycling and pedestrian safety through dedicated infrastructure, improving public transit feeder systems, and following road design standards to equitably distribute space for all road users.

According to the document:
1) Segregation of garbage into wet, dry, e-waste, and biohazard waste is now mandatory for all residential apartments and layouts in Bangalore, with fines for non-compliance.
2) Garbage is to be separated according to type and disposed of properly - wet waste collected daily, dry waste collected weekly, e-waste in yellow bins in common areas, biohazard in pedal bins in lobbies.
3) Guidelines are provided on proper handling and disposal of each category of waste to avoid smells and ensure cleanliness. Reusable bags will be provided for dry waste collection.

Several cities around the world have implemented policies and initiatives to reduce car traffic and encourage alternative forms of transportation like biking and walking:
- London introduced a congestion charge for driving in central London while increasing bus services to reduce car trips.
- American cities are adding bike lanes to roads to reduce car trips and increase biking as a safe transportation option.
- Bhaktapur, Nepal was designated a UNESCO heritage site for its traditional architecture and car-free streets.
- Cartagena, Colombia launched a plan to convert its historical center to a car-free zone to preserve the area.

Water is essential for life but is being threatened by pollution. People often don't recognize water's importance and contaminate rivers and oceans by throwing out wastes. If the world ran out of clean water, life would be impossible as we wouldn't have water to drink, wash with, or support ecosystems. To address this, governments are creating laws against polluting water sources while people work to clean rivers and prevent others from destroying the environment. It is important that we learn to properly use and conserve water to avoid jeopardizing our future access to this critical resource.

190 plants exempted from Biodiversity Act as NTC_ 17_10_12_CBD
The document discusses 190 plant species that were declared "Normally Traded Commodities" by the Indian government without considering their conservation status or obtaining prior informed consent. An analysis found that at least 15 of these plants are critically endangered or threatened according to the IUCN. Unfettered trade could potentially drive endangered plants to extinction, as illustrated by the case of the fish Puntius denisonii. The document argues the declaration of these plants as normally traded violates conservation regulations and could open a gateway to species extinction.
Bangalore's lakes and impact on ground water
Bangalore's lakes play an important role in groundwater recharge by capturing monsoon overflow and storing water. However, many lakes have been lost due to urban development. This has reduced groundwater levels, forcing residents to drill deeper borewells. Sewage and industrial pollution further contaminate remaining lakes and groundwater. Local communities and environmental groups are working to protect and restore lakes through judicial rulings and management committees. However, threats from encroachment, dumping and sand mining continue due to weak enforcement. The loss of lakes has exacerbated water scarcity issues in Bangalore.
Grasslands of chitradurga
The document summarizes the importance of grasslands known as Kavals in Chitradurga, India. The Kavals are rich in biodiversity and support many communities through grazing and traditional livelihoods. However, the Kavals are now being threatened by various development projects that have been assigned large areas of land without consideration for local communities or environmental laws. If the projects go through, it will destroy the wildlife habitat and rural livelihoods that have depended on the Kavals for centuries. Local communities have protested these developments that will disrupt their traditional way of life.
Brinjal biopiracy
1. ESG exposed biopiracy of local brinjal varieties in India by Monsanto and Mahyco for development of Bt brinjal, in violation of laws protecting traditional knowledge and biodiversity.
2. NBA and other authorities failed to properly regulate access to these varieties and insertation of foreign genes despite ESG's complaints, until pressure from parliamentarians led NBA to confirm prosecution of Monsanto and others involved in 2011.
3. The biopiracy and lack of protection for traditional knowledge and biodiversity threatened India's rich heritage of local crop varieties.
India law news fall issue
The enforcement of environmental laws in India faces challenges. While India has an extensive framework of over 200 environmental laws, implementation and enforcement is hampered by weak regulatory bodies, ambiguity in laws, and a bias toward development over environmental protection. The judiciary has become increasingly active in environmental cases, directing policy and project approvals. However, some argue the courts have exceeded their role and failed to properly consider technical issues. Overall, India's environmental laws require stronger implementation and enforcement mechanisms to balance development and environmental protection.
The joy of composting at home
The document discusses composting at home using a three-tier Daily Dump Kumbha system. It describes how kitchen and garden waste is easily composted in the container over weeks, transforming into nutrient-rich soil. Witnessing this process of organic decay into compost is fascinating. The finished compost can then be used to enrich home gardens grown in urban balconies. Composting and home gardening provide many benefits and should be mandatory practices.
Posco
The document summarizes the anti-POSCO movement in Orissa, India. It describes how POSCO signed an MOU in 2005 to build a massive 12 MTPA steel plant that would displace over 22,000 people and damage local ecosystems. Clearances for the project were granted despite not following proper assessment and violating tribal rights. The project threatens local livelihoods from betel farming and fishing. Over 2,000 people have been protesting the forced land acquisition by forming human barricades. The struggle against the project and associated corruption continues.

Instead of focusing only on increasing road space, the document argues for more comprehensive planning and public transportation investments to provide a sustainable long-term solution.
Guardians of biodiversity
The document discusses the history and definition of biodiversity. It notes that the term "biodiversity" was coined in 1985 and gained popularity after a 1988 book. The document also summarizes the history and goals of the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, which aims to conserve biodiversity and share benefits from genetic resources.

Environmental Support Group (ESG) has engaged in several advocacy efforts to protect the environment and environmental laws in India. This includes opposing the development of a resort that would encroach on a forest home to endangered species, preserving lakes as public commons and conserving water resources, pressuring regulatory agencies to crack down on a polluting paper mill, and organizing protests against proposed dilutions of environmental impact assessment laws. Through legal challenges and mobilizing public support, ESG aims to hold government and industry accountable for protecting natural areas and resources.
Enahancing public participation in decision making (2)
The document discusses challenges with public participation in environmental decision making in India. It notes that while public participation is important, the terms "public" and "participation" are often narrowly defined. It also discusses how public needs and grievances are often not considered, and statutory public hearings are merely a formality with no real commitment to understanding community concerns. The document outlines several barriers to meaningful public participation including limited access to information, lack of accountability, and non-responsive regulatory agencies. It calls for reforms to laws and processes to genuinely incorporate public participation.
Lake Privatisation
The document summarizes Bangalore's lake systems and the issues they face. It notes that Bangalore once had 262 lakes in 1961, but that number declined to 127 in 1986 and 117 in 2003 due to urban expansion. The lakes are interlinked in a chain and help with groundwater recharge. However, many have been leased to private companies, restricting public access. There have been protests and court cases around privatization and efforts to better protect and restore the critical lake systems.
Mavallipura swm _bhargavi_rao_16_10_09
The document summarizes issues with the Mavallipura Municipal Solid Waste Landfill in Bangalore, India. Unsegregated waste from over 200 trucks was openly dumped daily for 4 years, contaminating soil, water and air. This led to many health problems in the local community and loss of livelihoods. While some efforts were made to address the situation, proper waste management and treatment still has not been implemented, continuing to endanger public health.
Public spaces of namma bengaluru esg
Public spaces are an important part of city life in Bangalore, as they are used for festivities, shopping, socializing, and supporting livelihoods. However, public spaces also face challenges like lack of accessibility, cleanliness, safety, and overcommercialization that reduce their benefits to residents. Non-profit ESG works to protect public spaces and ensure they meet the needs of all members of the community.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Lake privatization comic_strip
- 1. Haven’t you heard? The state has leased the lake to a private company. Now they want to turn the lake into a big entertainment park to make money! Follow me! I wonder why there is such a big fence around this lake? Why can’t we go inside?
- 2. Well that sounds like fun! Don’t you know that everyone loves going to entertainment parks? But you will have to pay money to enter the park, and many people who used to visit the lake will be unable to afford those costs.
- 3. For example, many people use our lakes for daily household chores, like washing clothes and bathing, and can not afford to buy other water supplies.
- 4. Many people also depend on our lakes for their livelihoods. If there is a fee to enter the lake, fishermen will no longer be able to support their families.
- 5. You’re right, and we’ve only seen the human side of the problem. Our lakes are home to hundreds of fish, amphibians, insects, and microorganisms that are disturbed by these motorboats and water sports provided by the entertainment park. Well it doesn’t seem fair to only let some people enjoy the beautiful lake, which is a space for everyone.
- 6. New buildings, bright lights, and noise from water sports and music also scare away animals like me. Once our lakes are privatized for profit, migratory birds stop returning to these lakes to nest and raise their young. Wow, it sounds like we should keep our lakes open to the public, so that all humans and other creatures can use them! But what can we do to stop this from happening?
- 7. You can organize protests, write letters, and engage your community to place pressure on your local government to protect our lakes as public commons, not give them out as private playgrounds. We all have the right to access our natural environment.
