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 ...

Forests are a crucial part of our day to day lives in so many ways. Forests are the most important part of our planet earth. They are the greatest natural asset to any area and are of vital importance . For example, forests fulfill all our needs of wood, fuel, fodder, bamboos etc. Forests are important for life on the earth. Three hundred million people global live in forests and 1.6 billion rely upon them for their livelihoods.  Forests additionally provide habitat for a big array of plant life and animals, many of which are nevertheless undiscovered. They protect our watersheds.They supply the oxygen we need to live to. They provide the wooden products we use in our daily lives. Forests are so much more than a collection of bushes.  Forests are domestic to 80% of the aren...

Role of CO2 in atmosphere

The atmosphere now contains more carbon than at any time in at least two million years.  Humans pump nearly 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year and about 50 percent of these emissions are absorbed by plants in the terrestrial and ocean.  The carbon stays in the atmosphere for about 200 years . Anthropogenic carbon emissions exceed the quantity that can be taken up or balanced out by using natural sinks.As a end result, carbon dioxide has regularly accumulated within the ecosystem, and as of 2018, its concentration is nearly 48 % above pre-industrial ranges.Numerous strategies were proposed for putting off extra carbon dioxide from the surroundings in carbon dioxide sinks. Presently approximately 1/2 of the carbon dioxide launched from the burning of fossil fuels is not absorbed by way of flora and the oceans and remains inside the environment. After an amount of CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere, 40% will continue to be in the ecosystem for a h...

Plastic monster

PLASTIC ~ THE REAL MONSTER Plastic floats. This is where our story begins. Plastic monsters came to life around the world, rising up from dirty landfills, climbing over piles of trash & even swimming up and out of seas, lakes, rivers & oceans to make a very long and sometimes arduous journeys back home to their source. This plastic monsters may not be real, but this represent a very serious crisis: the plastic monster is a reality which actually portraits the world’s plastic waste.    Microplastics are very small portions of plastic that pollute the environment. Microplastics are not a selected type of plastic, but as a substitute any sort of plastic fragment that is much less than 5 mm in length. They enter natural ecosystems from an expansion of sources, such as cosmetics, apparel, and industrial procedures.   Classifications of microplastics currently exist. Primary microplastics are any plastic fragments or debris which might be already 5 mm in size or...

Coronavirus has taught us a lot

Coronavirus is now telling the world that if we do not help protect biodiversity & nature, then we will face this and worse future threats. The loss of habitat has brought wild animals into closer contact with humans & domesticated animals, enabling diseases such as the coronavirus to jump the animal-human barrier and spread through human-to-human contact. But Coronavirus has cut emissions faster than years of climate negotiations.  In China, the world's biggest greenhouse gas polluter,suddenly, coal-powered economy has slashed emissions by 25%. Not because of the climate crisis, but the COVID-19 public health emergency. With businesses and factories shuttered& drastical reduction in CO2 by making hundreds of millions of people across the country canceling their flights and putting travel restrictions & ultimately reducing traffic on road. The virus is prompting us to change our habits in ways that could make a longer-term contribution to climate protection — wo...

Key role a Leaf plays in our lives

What a difference a leaf makes! Well, not one leaf. We have 3.04 trillion trees on our planet—that’s 400 trees per person. If we count all the leaves on all those trees and take a look at what they do collectively to the air around us, is stunning. We know they absorb air. Their leaves gobble carbon dioxide, and then, with help from the sun, the carbon stays in the tree. Oxygen gets released. Come winter, the leaves fall off, trees go bare. Without leaves, trees go quiet. Any extra CO2 is more likely to hang in the atmosphere—until June. That’s the month when trillions upon trillions of leaves are opening, growing, & starting to breathe and  their collective breath literally cleaning the sky. It’s like the world’s northern forests become a giant vacuum cleaner, scouring the air, sucking down the CO2 till around November. When leaves fall, the situation reverses … and it feels a little scary It tracks the flow of carbon dioxide across the planet over 12 months, starting in Ja...

2050: Believe it or not this will be our future

                  None of us can deny this picture.  The pollution that we are dealing with today exactly indicates that this is going to be our  future, if steps are not taken to control it.  So, like our summer,winter & festive beak now, are we waiting for 'The Pollution Breaks' to happen in future??  Well most of the schools are closed which is a happy news for some kids.  But these are not the holidays to sit peacefully at home and enjoy.  It is a big question mark on our future. And we all know that the future is going to be depend on how seriously we are going to take these few upcoming years.  Well it is not just our future which is in threat but it is the future of each and every organism living on this planet.  What's the solution then?  Let's just sit at home. Or maybe blame the government for whatsoever is happening in this world.  Can we do that?? Offcourse! it's easiest way ...
