Down to Earth is an Indian science and environment fortnightly, established by the Society for Environmental Communications in May 1992. The magazine informs people about environmental threats facing India and the world. Down to Earth has become a reading habit in 400 of about 500 districts of the country — more than any other Indian newspaper or magazine. The magazine's sphere of influence is not limited to India, readers across the world rely on Down to Earth for a view from South Asia on the critical issues of human existence. Its founder editor Anil Agarwal said: "Ideas are like time-bombs. You never know when someone will read it and make change. The idea will then explode."
