While the world deals with climate change and solutions to counter it, a Thane resident decided to do his small bit. The TMC Commissioner this week sanctioned an Energy Park for the city to create awareness about various forms of renewable energy sources in an outdoor setup. The park, a brainchild of activist Parikshit Dhume, will have environment-friendly equipment that will aid learning for children.

Proposed by the mechanical engineer, the park will have exhibits and working models that stress on the need for renewable energy sources. Despite technology at our disposal, it is not being used in the best possible manner, believes Dhume, and hence he came up with this idea.
