Summary/Abstract In Western Europe frequent urban air quality alerts are testimony to the failure to control pollution from the car. With major exceptions such as Amsterdam and Copenhagen, official efforts to get Europeans out of their cars and on to trains, buses and cycles have not been a success. Despite increasing traffic congestion and evidence of the toll on human health, Europeans are obstinately refusing to abandon their cars.

Summary/Abstract Faecal Attraction is the latest film from CSE which is about the absurd relationship between rich people's shit and poor people's water. Most rivers in India have turned into sewage canals. The stretches passing through cities are the worst off. What the urban middle class is most bothered about is the lost beauty of these rivers. So urban authorities evict poor people living in 'illegal' shanties by the rivers or they build expensive sewage treatment plants to clean the rivers. But nothing works. This comes at a cost. Poor people get very little water, mostly unsafe, and pay more for it in the bargain. They do not get sanitation cover and pay a heavy price in terms of health.

First food: culture of taste / CSE 2017  Book

Publication New Delhi, Centre for Science and Environment, 2017.
Description 217p.Yellow spine
Series First food
Summary/Abstract Communities across India have found innovative ways to use seasonal produce that grows locally. They use leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds and roots to cook tasty and delectable recipes that are both nutritious and tasty. This volume brings together a collection of nearly fifty unusual, diverse and enthic recipes that use local Indian produce. The ingredients are seasonal and hence available for only a short time, but their taste lingers for long. You would surely wait for the next season to savour them again. Food is very personal. We know that. What we often don’t realise is that food is also more than personal. Food is also about culture and, most importantly, about biodiversity. We often do not think how flora and fauna around us make up our culture. We do not think that food diversity, indeed cultural diversity, is linked to diversity in the biological world. As a result, we often do not value this biodiversity that grows in the wild, in the farm, in the forest and the lake and the ocean. Each region of India, indeed the world, is diverse in its food habits. It has its own recipes; it cooks with different ingredients; it eats differently. This is not an accident. Every region, for instance, has its own rice variety. Many of these come with medicinal properties. Most are specific to the ecosystem they grow in. If the region is drought-prone, the variety survives in tough conditions, like Kayame rice of Karnataka. The Orkaima, Pokkali and Kuttadan varieties found in low-lying districts of Kerala are salt-resistant, hence suitable to grow in seawater. In the highlands of the same state, another rice variety is grown: Navara (in Palakkad), which has medicinal properties and has received the Geographical Indication Certificate in 2007. This richness of variety resulted in culinary methods that were equally diverse and equally rich. Bengal has a tradition of cooking different rice in different seasons. This is our food culture.
