Arvind Kejriwal for Foreign Ideas – Why Not 4 Car Free Days?
December08, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravindersinvent@gmail.com
When air quality in Delhi is Worst in the World – worst than even Beijing – Delhi required Comprehensive Program to CLEAN UP CITY Air & Water Like TOTAL BAN on Car Use in Hot Spots, BAN USE OF INEFFICIENT GENERATORS & INVERTORS – ENSURE 24X7 Power. Challenges for India/Delhi are Three Fold –
- Worst Ambient Air Quality in the World, High Ash Coal Based Power,
- Worst Household Pollution, Inefficient Raw Food Cooking, Stoves,
- Worst Water Quality, Unutilized Multi-purpose Hydro Projects.
Out of say 10m Deaths in India 5m or more are due to Outdoor, Indoor Pollution and Contaminated Water. As per WHO guidelines anything above 10 ug/cubic meter is considered safe for 2.5 micro particles and 20 ug/cubic meter for 10 micron particles. Indian average for cities is 60.6 and 129.1 ug/cubic meter. In Delhi for December07, 2015, 2.5 micron particles concentration was 333 ug/M3.
Globally, 7 million deaths were attributable to the joint effects of household (HAP) and ambient air pollution (AAP) in 2012. The Western Pacific and South East Asian regions bear most of the burden with 2.8 and 2.3 million deaths, respectively. Almost 680’000 deaths occur in Africa, about 400’000 in the Eastern Mediterranean region, 287’000 in Europe and 131’000 in the Americas. The remaining deaths occur in high-income countries of Europe (295’000), Americas (96’000), West Pacific (68’000), and East Mediterranean (14’000).
1.] To Minimize Ambient Air Pollution: – a.) Delhi could have opted for 4 Car Free Days/week [Relaxed When Car Is Used By Family/Group] [8AM to 10PM] – Motor Cycles are Four Stoke and Delhi has 7m, Average mileage 5 Times Than Cars, are Cheap to Own, require less parking area. b.) Ban Diesel Cars in city, c.) Introduce 25% to 50% Ethanol Blended Petrol – to minimize Emissions. d.] Ban used of CNG for Cars, e.) Introduce 0.25m each Radio CNG Taxi/Autos, f.) Introduce 10,000 Light Buses RETIRE Energy GUZZLING Red & Green Marcopolo Buses. g.) Initiate 5,000 MW Solar Rooftop Program. h.) Coal Based power plants to use IMPORTED Low Ash Coal during PEAK SUMMERS until Solar Program is Implemented. i.) Introduce ENERGY EFFICIENCY, j.) No Stopping of Metro Trains at Low Use stations during PEAK HOURS, Add more Train-sets and Increase Speed & Frequency. k) Vacuum Cleaning of Roads, l.) BAN Wood Work & Marble Work in Home Construction, m.) Use of Pre-Mix Concrete etc, n.) Mandatory Rooftop SolarPV on 50% Area. o.) Tax Car Fuels, Parking.
Minimize TRIPS: – a.) Grocery Supplied Once A Week Stored in Fridge / E-Grocery. b.) Schools within 1-2 kilometer, c.) Colleges within region, d.) Industry to Work 7AM to 3PM, e.) Offices to Work Two Shifts either 9AM to 4PM/ 11AM to 6PM. f.) Shops to Open in Two Shifts – either 7AM to 2PM / 2AM to 9PM.
2.] To Minimize Household Air Pollution: - a.) Promote FOOD PROCESSING at Farms – Ban or Tax Raw Food Entering Delhi – Minimize GARBAGE. b.) Introduce ‘Community Kitchens For Poor & Labor’. c) Install Fountains, Water Walls, DESERT COOLERS To Capture Dust Particles. d.) Implement Efficient Stoves, Rice-Food Cookers, Pressure Cookers Use, Solar Heating.
3.] Water Contamination: - a.) Expedite Construction of RENUKA, LAKHWAR & VYASI DAMS, b.) Ban Ground Water Extraction, c.) 100% Canal Water Feed for Water Treatment Plants, d.) 100% Sewage Treatment.
