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 ...

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...

Covid 19 Imprisonment

We are going through an unprecedented lock-down and are caged like an animal. Now we all can relate how it feels like to be caged. It could be immensely uncomfortable to get adapt to a non-social set up for very long, while we are really close to your family in a real way but when these animals are caged, they are alone without any friend or family member. Animal cruelty encompasses a range of behaviors harmful to animals, from neglect to malicious killing. Most cruelty investigated by humane officers is unintentional neglect that can be resolved through education. Intentional cruelty can run the gamut from knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, shelter, socialization or veterinary care to maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating or killing an animal.  Why is it a concern? All animal cruelty is a concern because it is wrong to inflict suffering on any living creature. Intentional cruelty is a particular concern because it is a sign of psychological distress and of...

Earth day🌱

https://youtu.be/-h6MzJ1zZRE "The poetry of the Earth is never dead." Lets get hypnotized in  the beauty of nature. Its so fascinating & mesmerizing. There is a saying, everybody wants to change the world but nobody is ready to change themselves for the world. Perhaps it is time for us to reflect on ourselves (since we are all locked at our homes #covid19 )and ask, what have I done for mother nature? Do you really need to use that much plastic bag? Will you walk to the nearby shop instead of driving? It is all the little things that matters, and if everyone contributes, the planet will be a beautiful place to live it – less resources needs, less destruction and better environment. Paradise on Earth is not a place to find but a decision to make & flowers are the reminder of paradise exist on Earth...  Earth Day 2000 covered 5,000 environmental organisations and 184 countries. Hayes prepared a marketing campaign that targeted on global warming and easy electricity. ...

Lightning causes climate change

“For every two strikes you get today, you’ll get three strikes at the end of the century,” Lightning has a few less well-known effects. For example, lightning is a major natural cause of wildfires .  It can lead to the formation of ozone. This greenhouse gas traps heat in the atmosphere. So, this has some negative effects in the troposphere is contrary to the beneficial role it plays when formed in the stratosphere, where it shields the Earth from harmful UV radiation from the sun  Global warming could have an electrifying effect. Rising temperatures may increase lightning strikes by 50 %over the next 100 years. Hence, more lightning would cause more warming — that would cause still more lightning, which would boost warming even more.     Climate change will lead to: • Increased moisture in the warmer atmosphere.  • Increased intensity  of the storm. Also the small aerosol particles in the air, such as those in smoke from wildfires or cars , ca...

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...
