The people of Punjab need to be complimented for winning a clear majority to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the recent Assembly elections. Prime Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann has a golden opportunity to get Punjab back on track of achieving higher sustainable growth, lower corruption and liberation from the drug mafia. Only then can Punjab regain its happiness and prosperity. Mann has pledged to root out corruption in government offices, but so far has not announced a plan for agriculture, a leading industry, initiating Punjab’s Green Revolution. But the state was late. We try to reveal the main problems in Punjab agriculture, the factors that brought it to its current state and what potential solutions could be to ensure sustainable prosperity. The biggest problem facing Punjab agriculture is the rapidly depleting and deteriorating quality of groundwater resources.
The Australian construction industry is transitioning to becoming more sustainable. Despite their crucial role, Australian communities as the end-users of this transition have been overlooked. Buildings contribute as much as 30% of the total waste produced and as much as 40% of total greenhouse gases. Residential construction makes up the biggest sector in construction; about 80% by cost. If sustainable construction is to be realised, it must take root in the housing sector. Little progress, however, has been made. Current literature places much of the blame with the owners and occupiers of houses – The line goes that builders would build sustainable houses if people really wanted them. The question arises: are reported societal concerns for sustainability merely superficial or supported by intention and commitment to act.
