TERRE is a non - profit, non - partisan and independent organization dedicated to the sustainable solutions to our developmental imperatives. Our motto is: "To think is good but to act is better."

TERRE also is the abbreviation for ‘Technology, Education, Research and Rehabilitation for the Environment.’These four tools make-up our ‘environmental kit’ to carry on the work by respecting the value of our ecosystem. With help of this tool box we strive to reach all the strata of the society, particularly young generation and people at the bottom of the pyramid.

TERRE in French means the Earth. The Earth is our only home in this vast universe. That itself is strong enough reason that we take care of it.

China Refuses to pay Carbon Tax imposed by European Union :
China Air Transport Association representing Air China, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines, has informed that Chinese airlines will not pay a new European Union tax aimed at cutting carbon emissions. On 1 January, the EU brought airlines under its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which levies a charge on flights based on their carbon emissions. However, the EU said it would not back down on the issue. Airlines which do not comply with the new EU tax can be fined and even prohibited from flying into the region.
The scheme of taxoing is part of EU's measures to reduce carbon emissions and reduce global warming. The EU estimates the costs of air fares will rise by between 2 and 12 euros per passenger to pay for the tax. The scheme is being implemented on a gradual basis, with 85% of carbon allowances handed out to airlines for free this year. China has warned that it may implement retaliatory measures against the levy, if EU takes action. Interestingly the tax has been criticised by China, India, the US and Canada."

Earth closest to the Sun today: The only "source of all sources" of energy that our mother is relinat on-" The Sun"-was closest to our planet , today on 5th January 2012. 5:53 am today, (Perihelion Day), the Earth was at its nearest point from the Sun. The distance at that time is 147 million km.Every January, the Earth is at perihelion, the closest from the Sun for the year and in July it is at aphelion, the farthest to the Sun for the year. The word perihelion comes from the Greek words "peri" (meaning "near") and "helios" (meaning "sun"). All planets, comets and asteroids in our solar system have elliptical orbits. Thus, they all have a closest and a farthest point from the Sun - a perihelion and an aphelion, he said. The questions comes to the mind, why the temperature does not rise on Perihelion Day even when the sunlight is more, The reason lies in the tilt of the Earth's axis. Our seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth and not by how close the Earth is to the Sun.
