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.

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...

Air pollution from fossil fuel costs world economy $8 billion a day; China, USA, India highest contributors. The economic cost of air pollution from fossil fuels has reached an estimate of $8 billion per day. Half of of those emissions were produced within the beyond 25 years, while globally, the notice of climate trade, GHGs, worldwide warming, and growing sea levels has accelerated. In the course of this period, while a few mentioned oil giants and household names chose climate change denial and funded corporations that puzzled weather scientists, others transitioned from being called an oil or coal manufacturer to an “electricity” corporation, projecting a purifier profile.

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...

Bio-degradable pads

**The content below is not just for girls out there but for every person who feels the concern for the environment.** Everyone of us is aware of mensuration days in a female's life. Numerous types of sanitary pads has been introduced for their sanitation. As per research, a female uses 17000 pads approximately in her life. Now, just assume if a single pad takes 500 years to decompose then, how much time these 17000 pads are going to take. With only 16% of Indian women using sanitary pads today, ladies in India currently generate a 100,000+ heaps of sanitary pads waste every 12 months. As sanitary pad usage will increase, waste will further add up!  This also means that  the sanitary pads we toss inside the bin every month will hang around even when you and I are long gone. The sad news is that those grimy pads are not being recycled. These are simply disposed off into the garbage.The blood on the pads can accumulate pathogens and this can additionally infect the soil. In India...
