Food wastage

Every year, one third of all food produced globally goes to waste. This not only affects our wallets but also has a significant impact on our environment. When food waste ends up in landfills, it releases methane gas, which contributes to climate change. We can reduce food waste by buying only what we need, planning our meals, and composting our food scraps. Let's work together to reduce food waste and make a positive impact on our environment. Food waste is a significant problem that affects individuals, businesses, and the environment. According to the United Nations, approximately one-third of all food produced globally goes to waste each year. This equates to 1.3 billion tonnes of food, which is enough to feed three billion people. Food waste has many negative consequences. Firstly, it is a waste of resources. Producing food requires land, water, energy, and other resources. When food is wasted, these resources are also wasted. This is not only bad for the environment but also ...

Microplastic have been discovered in fruits and vegetables

  Microplastics have been discovered in apples, carrots, pears, broccoli and lettuce, studies have revealed. Root vegetables like radishes, turnips and parsnips may also contain plastic! Scientists had thought that plant roots were unable to absorb microplastics. Microplastics in plants mean they may be having an impact on human health. The tiny pollutants are thought to have been sucked into plants roots with water, and then travelled up the stem into the leaves and, where possible, fruits. A separate study published this week found that plants containing microplastics grew smaller with shorter roots, reducing their yield and nutritional value.  Apples & carrots were shown to be most contaminated with microplastic. A study published earlier this week found that nanoplastics could also be absorbed by plants roots.  'If it is getting into vegetables, it is getting into everything that eats vegetables as well, which means it is in our meat and dairy too.' The results ar...

CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT HOW TO GROW FOOD IN SCHOOL

We all will agree with this one. The education system must come up with these types of learning which are essential for our survival. The modern era is marked by using the regular improvements in technology, and new innovations which give us the consolation and conveniences that we in no way can live without them. However, we lost a big part of the real-world  knowledge and skills for our survival and for looking after our families  personally. If the modern device unexpectedly collapses, do we recognise the basics of lifestyles in order to live and tell our tales later? Natural disasters show up all of the time, so this isn't always that unreal as we think. We live in a world everything is surpassed to us in an instantaneous. But if something were to move extraordinarily wrong, would we be able to build the world from the floor up? With that being stated, planting and developing one’s food have to be taught to children in schools.Therefore, guiding our kids to grow their own ...

Biodegradable v/s Compostable

  Sometimes, we all get confused with these two phrases - Biodegradable & Compostable. Biodegradable materials have the potential to breakdown with the help of the movement of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi, and so on. Bio” which means “life,” “degrade” which means to break down, and “able”   of course meaning that it can happen. Biodegradation is the technique of nature taking its direction and breaking down materials into small parts.  Plastic can breakdown into carbon dioxide, water, and some different matters. Pretty simple, right?The fact is that many of things are biodegradable, if given enough time. Plastics specially are known to take decades or maybe centuries to breakdown naturally, however they will breakdown. So, technically speaking, they're biodegradable. Even diapers, infamous for lasting a long term in landfills, will breakdown ultimately.While a packaging enterprise says that their product is biodegradable, all they sincerely suggest...

Earth Overshoot Day

  The 22nd August 2020 marks Earth Overshoot Day and it is the first time that it has moved backwards .The last year it was on July 29th that's over three weeks before. Earth Overshoot Day marks the factor at which we’ve used a year’s  worth of resources. The day is calculated by using the the worldwide carbon footprint network which compares how carbon, crops, food, water, forests and many others we’re exploiting  with the planet’s capacity to regenerate and soak up the carbon emitted from the intake.  The consequences of COVID-19 have induced it to arise 3 weeks later than the previous year, but we still  require 1.6 earths worth of resources this year! The record estimated that the pandemic had driven a 14.5-percent decrease in humanity's carbon footprint as compared to 2019. Thankfully, the global Footprint community has a #MoveTheDate movement to chip away at our very own carbon footprint both collectively. If we move the date just five days every 12 months...

Save Our Planet

The  Earth is warming at an alarming rate, humans are the cause of it. Also, a failure to act today will deeply affect the future of the Earth. Amid the horror of Covid 19, it is important to remember that another worldwide disaster is unfolding (Climate crisis) , although slowly but gradually everything will turn out against us. Global warming is happening, and its effects are being felt around the world.  If we think that the carbon dioxide & methane already added to the atmosphere ,since past so many years, wouldn't have an impact on Earth due to the lockdown. Then, we are wrong because the lockdown of 3 or 4 months wouldn't have any long lasting impact compared to the sins we have committed in past many years. As of now, the damage seems to be getting worse. The Scientists predicted years ago  - severe storms, heat waves and the melting of glaciers and ice sheets — are accelerating. If we look closer, what’s happening at the top of the world, the Arctic and the bo...

Green Snow

The impact of global climate change ,as we all know, cannot be denied. The green snow has lined a considerable quantity of southern continent's snow. This is not white, but green.  It has been foretold that within the coming  years, the green snow is probably going to unfold across continent – a results of hotter temperatures and global climate change.  The conditions required for algae to bloom within the space are because of water , that is available in ample quantity in Antractica, because the planet is heating up therefore apace. To conduct the study, the researchers checked out satellite information gathered between 2017 and 2019 and combined it with on-the-ground measurements over 2 summers in continent. That method allowed the scientists to map the microscopic algae as they bloomed across the green snow of the peninsula, consistent with CNN.What is rumored is really a conservative estimate since the information solely enclosed chlorophyte. The satellite is barely c...

Nature is inevitable

The world is changing. This drastic change and the turns of events  have made us realise the value of life. The nature is renourshing & replenishing itself. It's abilities are tremendous. Nature is forgiving.It knows how to heal itself.  The lack of human activities is the reason behind it.   In this way, nature is teaching us that it is Inevitable. The lockdown due to covid 19 pandemic. It is giving us time to rethink & introspect within ourselves what we were doing  to our Planet. This is an exotic moment without rush, without engines; we are all together (not physically though) in a sudden strangeness. Fishermen in the cold sea would not harm whales & fishes. And the business men would not look at their hurt hands. There is peace outside. Birds are chirping. The sky is blushing. The trees are dancing. The nature is singing. The rain is pouring down more frequently to cleanse the Earth.  The sky is more blue now.  This is the crucial...
