Eco India: What's causing the Himalayan glaciers to melt?



Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.

Think of a glacier and chances are, it’s a gleaming white ice sheet that comes to mind. But from the High Alps to the Himalayas, the world’s glaciers are marred by a black, windblown dust that contains soot from fires and fossil fuel consumption. In the state of Himachal Pradesh, efforts to curb local emissions aim to save the glaciers that are a major water source – and tourist attraction.
