Watch this video to understand why air-conditioning is bad and a danger to the Earth and everyone! https://t.co/BLRTVciwLM Personal action as well as governmental action is needed to curtail the use of AC. #EarthDay2020 #IndiaNeedsClimateAction #EarthDay #ClimateAction #SaynotoAC

@gemsofbabus_ Any expert will say that ACs contribute to global warming.Their power consumption is more than 15x than that of ceiling fan & the energy comes from burning of coal.Their refrigerants are potent greenhouse gases that trap heat & their waste heat raises city's temp by more than 2°C

The bus services are inadequate and the fares have recently been increased. If they are reduced and bus services are improved, along with starting bus lanes, the crowds in trains will drastically reduce. #saynotoAC #nonAC #saveMumbai @PoojaDomadia @MissNatasha1000 @AneraoKailash

suffer from lost livelihood due to being unable to travel due to expensive fares. So, it's necessary for people to pressurize the authorities to ensure that AC trains are not increased, & public transport is expanded in an eco-friendly way. This requires a comprehensive approach.

for common people. Conversion to AC is a tactic to take away services meant for the poor common people and give them to the rich people. The government still has the intention to convert trains to AC, which is harmful. Poor people might get saved from falling, but they will ...

to have such doors for safety in the trains without AC ! Technologies such as louvre are good and eco-friendly, which makes them better than relying on AC. AC is not only environmentally harmful, it is also expensive which will make the fares of trains expensive and unaffordable

trains with closing doors. Instead, the excuse of accidents of people falling was used by them and their supporters to justify bringing more AC trains or conversion to AC coaches. But now due to the public's outcry after the tragedy, they finally admitted that it is possible ...

These coaches will be non-AC with ventilation features such as louvre. It is important to remember that before also demands were made by people to have automatic closing doors in the trains, but the authorities rejected them and claimed that it is not possible to have non-AC ...

https://t.co/JsExwtIEKM To prevent people from falling from the non-AC local trains in Mumbai, authorities have decided to install automatic closing doors in them. This decision has come after a recent tragedy in which four people died by falling from a local train.

This will alienate 100 crore Indians &increase heat island effect

@CratersOfMumbai We may have different views on this. The fact is AC trains benefit only the rich with increased fares, not the majority working class heroes. Increasing the frequency of trains will help. Non-AC trains are eco-friendly, I don't understand why people are allergic to natural breeze

@mumbaiwalking That doesn't mean that one can misuse ACs just because of following a 'blind ignorant trend' that everyone is upgrading. Please look up AC regulations in Europe-Spain, Germany, France. Ideally one has to limit their cooling emissions,India is ignorant & doing the opposite

A word of thanks and gratitude to @rajarahebarkhan for highlighting the fact that Bandra Station is in need of greenery outside. Making life easier and cooler for commuters. Responsible leadership for the planet, environment first. Thank you. 🌏💚😊

Not everyone can escape the heat. Map the most vulnerable—school kids, blue/white-collar workers, farmers, gig workers, and outdoor laborers. Build policies that protect the most exposed. #HeatProtection #MahVotesforEnvironment Read the manifesto -

Maharashtra’s climate budget allocates ₹10.5k cr to urban flooding & water—only ₹9.7k cr to heat stress. Cities need more for shade, cooling centers, and energy-efficient buildings to tackle rising temperatures. Funding must reflect urgency.#GreenBudget #MahVotesforEnvironment

Increase the electricity bill tariffs by at least 50% for those residential and commercial buildings that indiscriminately use high power consuming devices like ACs. Allot more funding from the Maharashtra climate budget to heat stress in urban & rural areas.

Ensure that at least 80% of all public transport (including buses, trains, metros, monorails and ferries) in each district separately, is non-air-conditioned. Cancel the plans of air-conditionization of public transport. #MahVotesforEnvironment

Future-proof our cities by mandating high energy-efficiency standards for all new buildings—LEED and beyond. Efficiency is freedom: it reduces long-term costs, boosts resilience, and slows climate change. Let’s build smart from the ground up.#GreenBuilding #MahVotesforEnvironment

Heatwaves are here to stay. Each district needs its own #heatWaveActionPlan,tailored to local needs and crafted with expert guidance. From natural cooling systems to better shelters, these solutions should be a priority. Prepare or face the consequences #MahVotesforEnvironment
