Our roads have been planned and built to cater to motorists, particularly private vehicles. Space and consideration for low carbon modes of commute (walking, cycling, and public transport) is not a priority. This is in spite of the fact that these are sustainable modes of transport - causing minimal pollution, taking little space, being affordable and accessible by all. 

This year's #UnionBudget's focus under energy transition is on incentivising domestic #EV battery production & scrapping of old polluting vehicles. These are great except that we are still woefully dependent on #electricity from #fossilfuels. As a consequence, any EV also runs on fossil fuels. These "green growth" moves therefore might not be so green after all. Promoting #SustainableTransport (public transport, walking, cycling) would go a long way in reducing our use of fossil fuels and effecting a true #EnergyTransition. 

A #DrivingLicence is a legal document that permits you to drive on the road. It is important that every young driver holds a valid driving licence. To every future driver out there, follow Diya on her journey in obtaining a driving licence in #TamilNadu.

As per a paper published in National Library of Medicine, there is a link between increased trachoma infection and high temperatures and low rainfall – both of which are exacerbated by #ClimateChange putting our eyes at risk. #ClimateActionNow
