Recently, India has been trying to think of ways to build efficiently. The Indian Road Congress (IRC) and World Roads Association (PIARC) were organized to introduce “Reducing Carbon Footprint in Road Construction.” The reducing carbon footprint in road construction is a proposal to build innovative green materials and eco-friendly technologies. Since the world is changing rapidly, there are opportunities to open up to new ideas. Having known about climate change and global warming, we also know that it is harm for us as humans. Dr. Joshi, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways states that building efficient roads and technology will help decrease poverty but at the same time set off more pollution due to vehicle use.
Newer technology and a better way to save because of efficient road construction are agreeable to an extent. However, I think that building more efficient roads and technology can also cause more problems in the community. Since we rely so much on transportation as a way of getting from point A to point B, we will definitely see more vehicles out on the streets. Therefore, emitting hazardous gases in the air and causing more problems in the community. I think that India has a good perspective on how we should start building things efficiently but we will always have ups and downs on an idea. So we should view the proposal with a broad perspective keeping in mind that things may turn out how we expected it to or not.
