Punjab launches electric buses to reduce pollution and improve public transport. Significant focus on developing an EV ecosystem and expanding the bus fleet for a sustainable future.

Punjab's Electric Bus Initiative: Eco-Friendly Transit

The Punjab Government is launching an electric bus initiative to reduce air pollution, enhance public transit, and develop a robust electric vehicle ecosystem in key urban centers statewide.

Punjab launches electric buses to reduce pollution and improve public transport

Punjab Government's initiative to introduce electric buses aims to reduce air pollution and enhance public transit across key cities such as Amritsar and Ludhiana.

The Punjab Government has taken a step forward to introduce electric buses and promote an eco-system throughout the state. This initiative will not only help provide a pollution-free environment but also offer better environmental conditions and transportation facilities to citizens.
While chairing a meeting at the Punjab Civil Secretariat here today, Transport Minister S. Laljit Singh Bhullar directed the officials of Local Government and Transport Department to jointly conduct a survey regarding the operation of EV buses and promotion of the eco-system.
Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Singh Mann led government is committed to making the state pollution-free and providing citizens with a clean environment, said the Cabinet Minister, adding that the time has come to introduce EV buses in Punjab.
He asked the concerned officials to take immediate action toward this objective.
The Transport Minister said that in the first phase, a proposal will be formulated to operate EV buses in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, SAS Nagar and Patiala.
He said that 100 EV buses to be plied in Amritsar, 75 in Jalandhar, 100 in Ludhiana, 100 in SAS Nagar and 50 buses in Patiala.
S. Laljit Singh Bhullar also instructed PRTC and Punjab Roadways/PUNBUS officials to review the de-clubbing of bus route permits and find solutions in accordance with the law.
The Cabinet Minister informed that 450 large buses, 100 mini buses from PRTC and 312 new buses from PUNBUS will be soon added to the Punjab Transport Department's fleet, with the necessary procedures already underway.

If you want to give a gift to both your loved ones and the environment, this is a great time to consider some eco-friendly gifting ideas. 

Greens gifts for Diwali that produce zero waste

With the season of festivities, comes the season of gifting. If you want to give a gift to both your loved ones and the environment, here are some eco-friendly ideas to consider.
Pollution is a major problem around Diwali, so why not gift air-purifying plants like aloe vera, money plant or bamboo? Know someone who loves sipping on the go? Gift them resusable coffee mugs along with&nbsp;a set of reusable straws so that they never have to pick plastic again.&nbsp; Personal care products often come with a tonne of plastic packaging. To skip the waste, buy some colourful shampoo bars and gift away.&nbsp;
A packet of seeds for the garden or a set of fresh potted herbs will leave your foodie friends elated. Rosemary bushes or a thai basil will frequently make it to the dinner table.&nbsp; Finally, if you're looking for something traditional, go for 100% natural beeswax candles that are non-toxic and biodegradable and produce little smoke.

Scientists develop eco-friendly plastic film that can kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus

The film is coated with a thin layer of particles that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and produce reactive oxygen species -- ROS.

Scientists in the UK have developed a plastic film that can kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus particles which land on its surface with just room light.
The self-sterilising film developed by a team at Queen's University Belfast, UK, is less costly to produce, can be readily scaled and used for disposable aprons, tablecloths, and curtains in hospitals.
The film is coated with a thin layer of particles that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and produce reactive oxygen species -- ROS.
These kill viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the researchers said. The technology used to create the film also ensures it is degradable -- unlike the current disposable plastic films -- making it environment-friendly, the researchers said.
The research, published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, could lead to a significant reduction in the transmission of viruses in healthcare environments but also in other settings that uses plastic films.
The researchers tested the film for anti-viral activity using four different viruses -- two strains of influenza A virus, a highly-stable picornavirus called EMCV and SARS-CoV-2.
They exposed the film to either UVA radiation or with light from a cool white light fluorescent lamp. The researchers found that the film is effective at killing all of the viruses - even in a room lit with just white fluorescent tubes. SARS-CoV-2 was particularly prone to photocatalytic inactivation even under very low UV irradiation conditions, they said.
"This film could replace many of the disposable plastic films used in the healthcare industry as it has the added value of being self-sterilising at no real extra cost," said Professor Andrew Mills from Queen's University Belfast.
"Through rigorous testing we have found that it is effective at killing viruses with just room light &ndash; this is the first time that anything like this has been developed and we hope that it will be a huge benefit to society,&rdquo; Mills said. The researchers noted that pathogenic viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and influenza will continue to be global problem for years to come.
"In developing self-sterilising thin plastic films, we have created a low-cost technology that could have a significant impact on the transmission of such concerning viruses in a healthcare environment and other sectors where they are used," Professor Andrew Mills added.

To deal with the waste created by face masks, a Dutch designer Marianne de Groot-Pons creates face masks with rice paper that are filled with flower seeds.
The masks, created by her company called Marie Bee Bloom, are biodegradable and are meant to be buried into the ground after use.
Once they're buried, they bloom into stunning flowers. The glue used on the mask is also made using potato starch and water.
The artisanal masks are priced at t &euro;3 (approx. US$3.58) each and provides as much or as little protection as fabric masks, she claims.

Phool.co, a company backed by IIT Kanpur has received the BIRAC Innovator Award for 2021 for its cruelty-free alternative to animal leather, called Fleather.
The bio-alternative to leather developed by Phhol.co has been created with farm waste and temple flowers and performs almost like leather.
Made in a sustainable manner, the process cuts down many traditional tanning processes and also helps increase job opportunities for women in marginalized&nbsp;sections, according to the company.

According to an report published in the Journal Of Cleaner Production, a chemist from a Russian university has found an economic and eco-friendly way to manufacture electrodes for batteries using coffee production waste. Researchers have been looking to replace graphite used in electrodes with other carbon materials. It was found that electrodes made from coffee grounds were more long lasting and energy efficient. This is perhaps the first time coffee grounds have been exploited for reuse.
