Navneet ALAS! - The GORILLAS are Disappearing

Endangered gorillas, our close relatives, keep reminding us that if we do not save them from imminent extinction, we may forever lose this unique chance to gain more knowledge about evolution of life on Earth. No one who looks into a gorilla's eyes - intelligent, gentle, vulnerable - can remain unchanged, for the gap between ape and human vanishes; we know that the gorilla still lives within us. George Schaller First of all, we should care about these animals because of ethical considerations.… Continue

leena_t Being a Part of "The Plastic World."

Navneet POLLUTION-Causes and Prevention

Introduction to Environmental Pollution Although pollution had been known to exist for a very long time (at least since people started using fire thousands of years ago), it had seen the growth of truly global proportions only since the onset of the industrial revolution during the 19th century. It’s interesting to note that natural resources had been stored virtually untouched in the Earth for millions of years. But since the start of the industrial revolution vast amounts… Continue

Subodh Kumar E-WASTE The Sky is the Limit

In our homes, offices, schools, markets...everywhere we are using all kind of electronic gadgets and equipments, life without them is now beyond our imaginations but when they get old or damaged we discard or upgrade them immediately without thinking twice, where is it going anyway from here and what it going to cause to us?

Subodh Kumar DISAPPEARING SPONGES OF THE EARTH PART-2

From coastal swamps to inland floodplains, the Earth has lost over half of its area under wetlands in the last 100 years. A primary cause behind the loss of this giver of life is the draining or filling for human settlements and agriculture. Draining of agricultural residue and Industrial wastes into the wetlands also took a huge toll, leading to their decline. It was during the first half of the twentieth century that we have witnesses the maximum damage especially in the northern hemisphere… Continue

Ranbeer Chauhan PROTECT ENVIRONMENT , PROTECT YOUR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Environmental Pollutants can cause anything and everything - i.e.diseases, including cancer, lupus, immune diseases, allergies, and asthma. Higher levels of background radiation have led to an increased incidence of cancer and mortality associated with it worldwide. Some illnesses are named for the places where specific pollutants were first formally implicated. One example is Minamata disease, which is caused by mercury compounds. Bad air quality can kill. Ozone pollution can cause sore throat… Continue

The harm which has to be done is already done lets not waste time in thinking of solutions.lets stop avoiding the causes of G.W. Mark Twain might as well have been talking about global warming when he famously remarked, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody ever does anything about it."

Technologies exist today that… Continue

Subodh Kumar DISAPPEARING SPONGES OF THE EARTH

In just two decades from 1991, an estimated 50% of fresh water wetlands have been lost. These life giver sponges of the earth are disappearing at a rate of 2% to 3% every year. They are known for a range of services, notably livelihood support , water security, flood prevention, and sustenance of bio diversity. Yet they remain badly neglected and plundered. Clearly, actionable rules are vital to stop the life-sapping influx of sewage,industrial waste, pesticides, building debris, and urban so… Continue

kunal kumar jha plastic bags v/s paper bags

Why can't an agrarian economy cannot be devoloped???

But,, Indian govt. stress more on agriculture and even makes policies in favour of farmers. India has a monsoon climatic conditions which are most suitable for agriculture..!! All these factor indicates India has good control over its agiculture and also that a large part of its income comes from agrcultural sector. Then why it cannot become a developed nation with agririan economy???

Why Can't we just STOP buying!

Most of us buy products as we need them for our requirements, but many buy just to be competetive in this rat race to buy more fashionable products. We discuss to reduce the use of plastics and recycle them, why can't we just give a second thought to the whole concept of Corporate induced "consumerism". You buy a mp3 player with headphone, then you buy its charger, then you buy its cover, then its stand for table and the car and so on and so forth. So the act of listening to music has given way…
