The season of colossal toxic waste is upon us. The loud and obsessive observance of the mythical Yesu's birthday (sic) is an untold calamity for the planet. The amount of electricity expended on useless holiday lighting, the huge amounts of plastic, metal and rubber wasted
on manufacturing holiday ornaments and the thousands of acres of land denuded by the demand for holiday trees - must surely be exacting a *huge* cost from planet Earth. Why doesn't a single bearded "environmentalist" spend some time researching and quantifying this calamity?
Nobody benefits from this assault on the environment - other than the Chinese manufacturers of inferior toxic
plastic goods - and of course the padre types for indoctrination of their flock.
Merry "Christmas" indeed!

Environmental sustainability is closely linked to urban planning, yet the various stakeholders such as environmentalists, policy makers and corporate leaders haven’t made a significant impact in this area. To make people aware of the key issues in this area, organizations such as the Indian Institute of Human Settlements (IIHS) conduct short term courses such as this one: http://www.skillkindle.com/guestuser_classdetails_preevent.aspx?classID=33 This should help the issues gain prominence.
