This is a very clear question to all the members here.
As Environment professionals, are we clear, what are our responsibilities, duties, vision / mission, and what are we really doing in achieving that.
According to my exposure & experience, in our country, an Environment Professional does following different roles:
1. Gets hired by consultancy services firms, and try to helps out member industries to comply with their legal issues.
2. Gets hired by an industry directly, and works for environmental legal compliance.
3. Gets into educational institutions & imparts the already structured course syllabus to his pupils.
4. If lucky, reaches pollution control boards and gets into the system.. what all of us knows.
5. Set up his own business, NGO or networking platforms to sensitize & sell environmental services to industry clients.
I think most of us are convinced that these are what environment professionals are for: am I wrong? Even I am also playing one of these roles in my career.
But there has always been a question, in my heart, why are we always screaming "Save Environment" and do nothing to actually save it. From this I mean, as the world is growing, in terms of population & industrialisation, we cant have an environment or resource banks as they were decades back. We cant have a climate pattern that used to be there when we were kids. I request all to mature enough and accept that the changes are bound to happen, and lets not waste our energy in reversing the system. Rather we should focus on developing counter technologies for combatting environmental issues. (I have developed a punchline as a footer in my mails "Dont just Plant Trees; Find a Replacement to It").
In India, I understand, a person throughout his life has to fight for his basic needs (Food, Shelter & Home) and so does environment professional. Therefore we all see it as a MONEY MAKING PROFESSION, rather than a social service profession.
I dont know, how far I am able to express my thoughts, but I request all members here to start thinking differently and taking this as a service profession. Please dont talk to reverse the planet, learn to accept the change.

Dear All,
Please advice me how to calculate stack height in case of SO2 emissions are not available. As per CPCB, the stack height formulea is H=14 (Q)0.3, where as Q is SO2 emissions in kg /hr.
If my stack does not emit SO2 emission, what should I consider in inplace of Q in the formulea.
Can I consider NOx emissions and Calculate???
