Environmental taxation, mangoo and some more...

I case you are interested in the question:

"Should we be taxed to use the environment?"

I would ask you to read the interview of Mr DAVID F. WILLIAMS published in The Hindu (Bangalore Newspaper) on May, 24. It gives some basic insights about how governments should take care of environmental resources and how greeen taxes seem to be a feasible option for that.

So the winner takes it all. The picture shows a mangoo stand. Well the original pic is not that great eiter, a litte blurry, I know.
But somehow I like it and thats why I posted it.



Well I spent the weekend in Hyderabad. Was an exciting bus journey. Just took around 12 hours to get there, and around 14 hours back including very very very bumby roads and a bus break down :-)

The city is kinda in the center of India and it was boiling hot there. Even though its approximately as big as Bangalore you could feel the difference. The city is coinde by its Muslim religion. They were some sights to see, streets to walk, bolywood to visit and some good card games to play (well I lost most of them!).




So far so good. I better get prepared for my field trip now. I am going to leave to Shimoga today night. Its a small town which is close to a big forest :-) And I am sure I will find some bamboo there!



Enjoy your week and take care.
hugs.
