Religion is hard to change- even when its practice can result in environmental harm.  This article gets into several cool things- first, the Hindu Religion, and the importance of cremation to its adherents.  Second, it looks at India's development approach, and discusses the emphasis that India places on developing in the cleanest way possible, which goes against the traditional mode (just look at Europe's industrial revolution). Third, it demonstrates the need for education, in order to debunk some of the myths that prevent people from changing, even when that change can bring about so much for so many.   I encourage you all to give this one a read, or a listen.
