Environment issues - Corporate life

Tomorrow there is a corporate function to celebrate environment day. I am working in a company which has taken initiative in environmental issues. In software firms, may be these kinds of initiatives are very easy since it is just using human brain and electrical power. The environmental issues facing by a manufacturing firm may be thousand fold. So it may be a cake walk for a software firm to get into a prime spot of a race. While I am writing these lines, one of the channel telecasting breaking news about Athirampilly project. I am not sure where will stand corporate world in this issue. In tomorrow’s function one of the honourable ministers is taking part. I believe silence is a way of giving consent to be as it is. At same time I am compelled to write the statement of U.P Jayaraj, late short story writer of Malayalam ‘By sitting under thousand volt bulbs it is not acceptable to reject new hydro electrical projects to provide electricity to villages’. But I cannot accept any intention to destroy this pure nature, water falls, aborigines..
