Stock Markets

But why blame these board members, when even the stock markets seemingly prefer an ‘environment-unfriendly’ approach. Global stock markets have most oft en skipped discounting in the environmental footprints (or stomping) that firms leave with ramifications over generations. If criticism is in vogue, then it would be pertinent to note that despite the environmental disaster created by various oil giants (which has been historically documented), their profitability and stock prices have retained promising and historical highs!

The Great Wall cementing business!

If trade between the two 'iipmHimalayan neighbouring countries, India and China, continues to grow at the same pace then not much time is left until when bilateral trade between the countries would touch the $40 billion mark. Analysts believe that the India – China bilateral trade is all set to rise from the current $25 billion to $40 billion by 2009, thus the target would be achieved by one year in advance. In Q1 2007, trade registered a growth of 58% and has touched $8.2 billion. It is being forecasted that bilateral trade between the countries would build up to $43 billion by 2010.

No wrongs, Just Wright!

A fearless conservationist, Belinda talks to TSI about the threats and challenges that imperil India’s forests and its denizens

1. How easy was it for Belinda Wright to fit in with respect to Indian wildlife, both as her role as a wildlife filmmaker and photographer as well as a conservationist?
I was born in India in 1950s and our country’s wildlife has been my only profession and abiding interest, all my life. I spent much of my childhood in the jungles of Eastern India. When I started my career as a wildlife photographer, the only problem I had was actually getting to such remote areas. Everybody was always welcoming and very helpful, and it certainly helped that my mother, Anne Wright, was such a well-known wildlife conservationist. She was a member of the Government of India’s Indian Board for Wildlife for nineteen years and on the six-member committee that was set up by the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, to identify the first nine Tiger Reserves and establish Project Tiger.

Keira’s carry bag

Keira Knightley has found a way to be environment friendly and look chic while at it. She’s been carrying around a bag from the environmental line of Anya Hindmarch with a very earthy message inscribed on it: “I’m not a plastic bag”. As if that weren’t convincing enough, the designer carry-bag costs a measly $5dollars! And sure enough, Keira has started a rage, as now the fashion-crazy lot are rushing to London’s Knightsbridge store to get their hands on this designer piece! Keira sure knows how to play the eco-friendly pied piper really well!

"One laptop per child"

This is the famous “One Laptop per Child” laptop that was conceived by Nicholas Negroponte. It has an LED screen that is easily readable in the sunlight, 256 MB of RAM, an AMD processor and is designed for rough use as it was after all made for mischievous children. This low power-consuming laptop might even pave the way for energy conservation for our current range of laptops and PCs. Here's a toast to the path-breaker!

EVEREADY

Brand extensions have powered Eveready’s growth. Now it needs recharge
In this age of electronic dependence guess what electronics depend on? Of course on batteries, and when talking of batteries, one can’t just help but say: ‘Give me Red’. Initially tagged as a rural brand in the Indian market and later appealing to the hearts of many young Indians with their in-your-face tagline, Eveready has certainly come a long way. On January 3 last year, it extended its brand by launching ‘Eveready Poweron,’ entering the Mosquito Repellent coils market. A market leader in dry cell battery and flash-light industry already, the strategy behind this fresh introduction was to concentrate on proper retail and display instead of just depending on their distribution network for easy reach of the rural masses.
