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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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. ...

Earth is healing

Due to the lockdown announced by the government to contain the spread of COVID-19, nature has begun to flourish.  The benefits of this lockdown is in the air quality in most Indian cities. The cities which were known for their bad air quality have reported 'good' air quality index (AQI). Following the 'janata curfew', air pollution levels dropped 60% in Kolkata, 6% in Mumbai, and 26% in Delhi. We all know the crucial role of ozone layer. Besides the drop in pollution levels, the ozone layer also play an important role in maintaining a balance of climatic conditions. Earth has begun to heal with decreased human activities.  The earth has been healing itself while we stay locked down in our houses. There are reports of Ganges water being sparkling clean, the Himalayas being visible from towns in Punjab, ozone layer sealing, air quality index improving significantly, birds singing in our cities, flamingos flocking Mumbai, animals coming out of hiding and roaming on t...

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...
