Leg-powered pumps save money and carbon: This video itroduces a project which promotes the installation and use of treadle water pumps in Uttar Pradesh, India. These pumps are driven by leg power, and so reduce farmers' reliance on hiring expensive and polluting diesel-powered pumps to irrigate their fields. Each pump saves an estimated 0.5 tonnes of carbon per year. This project won an Ashden award for sustainable energy in 2005, and is supported by ClimateCare, a world leading carbon offsetting company (video credit: Ashden Awards)
Just think, government didn't do this for the people. People did this for people. - It is a shame though that it is done by environmental wackos that believe in the bullshit anti-carbon movement. - I am glad the people can get water now but MAN is not the cause of climate change any more now than he was 5 million years ago. Climate change is taking place on others planets. Are you stupid enough to believe that Man is changing the climate of other planets also? - Don't believe the lies.
