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 ...

Nature is a healer

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Consider yourself sitting under a tree, birds chirping, a lovely river just by your side and the sun has just began rising.Does this brings smile on your face?  Nature has a hypnotizing effect on everyone of us and if one is able to see that, his entire existence turns into happy.  "Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. … There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter. " Nature in itself is the image of growth and regeneration. It has the energy to heal your soul. Suppose on a bad day, whilst you are annoyed frustrated & indignant .So,you go to a plant and touch its leaves. Then, you experience its healing effect on you.  We are a part of nature.It has created us.  It is like when you have been a child and you wouldn't stop crying,  you will go to your mo...

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...

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...
