My friend Arka has just written to industrialist Ratan Tata. No, not for some personal favour or lauding him for his Jaguar deal. But for urging him not to go ahead with his plans of constructing a port in Dhamra, Orissa. This is because he has reason to believe from environmentlists like Green Peace that the port will be dangerously close to one of the world’s largest sea turtle nesting grounds – the Olive Ridley Sea Turtles. Therefore, he is one among millions emailing him to move the port to another location and prevent the turtles from going extinct.
However, there is one problem. Arka cannot do it alone. He needs the help of you and me. And you don’t even have to be an Indian to do so. Anyone who cares about the environment is free to do his mite in alerting Mr Tata to the possible dangers of his business act.
And it’s easy to do. Just write directly to Tata by clicking here.
