What can you do to save the planet Earth?


What can you do to save the planet Earth?

You might have had this question popping up in your mind – “What can I do alone to save the environment?”
Actually, there are thousands of people like you who have the similar thought in mind, amidst that dilemma and hesitation, no one’s taking a step. But you, alone, have the power to initiate, and those thousands will eventually follow you. No step is a small step, and every contribution matters in its own way. While caring for the planet isn’t a matter to be saved for June 5, however, it’s a good time to start today and take the pledge to do whatever you can, in order to achieve a sustainable environmental development.

Organize a cleaning drive:

That’s something you can easily do! You have organized parties before, this time, organize a cleaning drive. Call your friends, friends of friends, office colleagues, acquaintances and family members to be a part of this act. Gather in your neighbourhood or a popular market area and clean the surroundings. Pick up the plastic bags and bottles and throw them in trash bins, tell people not to use non-biodegradable products and not to waste paper as they are made by chopping trees. Be a responsible citizen and inspire others to be aware.

Celebrate by planting trees:

It might sound odd to celebrate birthdays by planting trees, but Bhutan, a little Asian country nestled in the Himalayan lap, actually does so! When a child is born, the parents plant trees in order to celebrate his/her birth. Plants help us breathe and therefore, it’s our duty to save them. Next time you are in a mood for celebrations, plant a couple of trees and influence your peers to do that as well. A greener surrounding will make you feel good and provide you with more freshness. You can also plan for events collaborating with your neighborhood school where you can tell the kids about the impacts of nature in our lives and together, plant trees in the area.

Plan for a hike or picnic amidst nature:

The best way to understand the importance of nature is to be in the wilderness. For most people living an urban life, the bliss of being amidst nature is something very rare. Plan for a hike through a forest trail or a picnic at a nature park, where you can spend some quality time with the trees and the birds, away from the cars and the honking! Feel the goodness, do some yoga, eat your food sitting under the sky and fill your lungs with freshness. This trip will surely make your aware and encourage you to have a better natural environment around you.

Join a coastal or marine conservation project:

The oceans and seas are as much affected as the land. It may surprise you, but the Great Barrier Reef is dying due to global warming, and there’s a huge decrease in the life of marine animals since the water is getting polluted. Tourism is flourishing around the beach destination, ruining the conditions of the beaches. If you are an animal lover who equally enjoys being at the beach, then you can choose a marine conservation or turtle conservation project at a beachside and contribute towards saving lives dwelling in the marine world.

Start optimum usage of the available resources:

Just because you have it, doesn’t mean you’ll waste it! Know that your future generations will also have similar requirements like you do, and it’s your responsibility to save for them. Try taking public vehicles on your way to work, or maybe you can take a cycle. This will reduce wastage of fuel and also prevent air pollution to an extent. Don’t waste food – there are certain organizations like ThinkEatSave, that collects extra food from events and other places, in order to feed the hungry ones. Close the taps when you don’t need water – then might come a time when the world will face a dearth of fresh water! (Hope you don’t want that time to come soon!) Put off all the switches of electronics when not in use. Save paper and don’t litter here and there.
Remember that every little step counts

Thank you🌹

A MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD

The IPCC warned us in its latest report, that we should bring back our CO2 emissions to 50% of what they were in the year 1990 and this before 2020, if we want to keep our planet within the 2° degrees. And the IPCC bases this prevision on the most optimistic scenario. Indeed, during the last decades, the scientists forcasts about Global Warming have been constantly revised upwards. The cascading effet is pretty uncertain and, for instance, we don't know the exact impact of CH4 emissions through the warming of the oceans and the melting of the permafrost. Lima Conference on Climate ends with ridiculous and criminal decisions about CO2 reduction: Reducing CO2 emissions from 40% by 2050 is just nonsense. You can no more haggle over with Global Warming that, for instance, you can haggle over with a fire that transforms your house in a furnace. You cannot say to the blaze: "stop, wait 20 minutes until the firemen arrive". The United States found $ 3000 billion just for I

DIRECTLY CAPTURING CO2 FROM THE ATMOSPHERE

Direct air capture is the process of chemically scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and then storing it either underground or in long-lived products. This new technology is similar to the carbon capture and storage technology used to capture emissions from sources like power plants and industrial facilities. The difference is that direct air capture removes excess carbon directly from the atmosphere, instead of capturing it at the source.  It is relatively straightforward to measure and account for the climate benefits of direct air capture, and its potential scale of deployment is enormous. But the technology remains costly and energy-intensive. It is often difficult to pin down costs for new direct air capture technologies, but a 2018 study estimates that it would cost about $94-$232 per metric ton. Earlier estimates were higher.  Direct air capture also requires substantial heat and power inputs: scrubbing 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide from the air could require ne
