Bang bang on diwali

Diwali was about to come , it came, and now its gone. As a matter of fact, it follows the same routine each year.But the real concern is about what is left over once diwali is gone. Don't think of presents and sweets, think from the prespective of environment, the only main left over of diwali each year is a lot of pollution. Pollution on land and air that remains many long months after diwali and reminds us(very less of us, infact!) of what harm harm we have done to the planet. the scraps of all the LNCD's (Loud Noise Creating Devices as I call them, but using the day to day language, bombs) is left over and all the smoke and aerosols the put off into the air remains long after the real 'fun' gets over. When I think of all the loud noises that reach my ears on diwali day, a question rises in my mind 'Did Bharat burn all the 'Rassi bombs' when Ram came back after killing Ravan, if not then why do we do it?' Think of it, may be you get the answer but once you get it dont forget to post it, till then bye bye and take care of what you live in not for the sake of being an 'ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATIONIST (pretty long huh!) but because you live in it !!

Hi readers,

Hope you are good and well prospered in the lap of mother nature.Nature provides us with most of our necessities and requirements and not even so, it also gives us many things apart from our necessities, our desires.Thus so as to pay the debt to the loan we've taken we need to help our mother in surviving in the worst battle of all times, the battle of changing environment.

The topic for today is wastes and their pressure on our environment.We as humans are developing at a very fast rate, and as each coin has two sides our development also has a negative aspect,which is that many places have now become the dumping grounds for the by products of our industries, household activities, agro practices and many others due to which the rapid disintigration of our environment is taking place.What needs to be done? Just to take some simple steps:

• Go eco friendly, use least amount of poly-articles and make maximum use of paper and cloth bags.
• Do not burn organic waste in open, it gives a boost to global warming by increasing the CO2 level in the atmosphere.
• Inorganic waste should either be dumped in the inorganic waste basket or should be recycled,if possible.
• Green leaves of vegetables may also be used as fertilizer.

These simple steps may help in keeping your city, your town, your state and eventually your environment clean and you may be able to live in a waste free environment.

Thank you.

Welcoming the oil crisis

Dear Reader,

As we all know that oil prices are sky high so we definetly need to take some steps towards oil conservation and make very intelligent use of it. For this, some simple steps need to be followed as:

• Minimum use of vehicles, more walking as walking has both environmental and physical advantages we all are familiar with.
• Stop the car engine when necessary.
• Two wheeler drivers make maximum use of the neuter gear on inclined roads.
• Make intelligent use of oil even at home.
• Conservation of oil is more necessary than the enjoyment of speed.
• Hybrid Cars(read previous posts) need to be launched by car companies.

Taking these simple steps, you may make the world a happier place to live in.

Bye,stay safe and stayawake.

Climatic changes today

Dear reader,
Its finally I've started blogging on some serious and important topic.
The topic of this page is the climatic changes the world is facing at present.I, living in the lesser himalayan zone, am being affected by
this problem specially.The Summers used to start in my region in the last of April and would reach the max heat by middle of June and then by August they would easily be replaced by Rains brought by the South west monsoon.(Picture 1: Such landscapes won't be visible if the condition remains same.)
But this year i.e., 2008, the condition is totally different the monsoon reached Delhi 2 weeks earlier, breaking a 108 year record.And the region I live in had virtually nil summers.And the monsoons started in july.
Why is the world facing such impacts? Why is the climate suddenly changing? Why is the balance made by mother nature being disturbed?To know this we must look at the changing traits of humans.Last year light snowfall was seen in the Arabian region which used to have even scarce rainfall.Why so?! Even grass growth was observed in the Antartic region which is supposed to have no vegetaion at all.
Let us have a look at the reasons of this change:
Population boom: The world population reached 6 billion in 2006 and is reaching new heights with large increase in the percentage as we reach 2008.
Vehicular boom: As the man gets richer and the auto prices have a downfall in the Indian market especially due to the launching of cheap cars as Tata Nano, Suzuki A-Star, and even MS800.
Plastic boom: Large amounts of polythene bags are used and wasted each day.Being non-biodegradable, these bags polute the environment and defertile the soil due to which the land polluton is increasing.
Oil boom: Even after drastic increase in the oil prices, the oil consumption still is on high even now cars with no movement and growling engines can be seen on roadsides.
Now, let us think about what needs to be done 'bout the situation rather than discussing the faults committed by us:
Go hybrid: A great option to riduce emmission is going hybrid i.e., switching to hybrid cars which are cars that use petrol and electrical energy as a fuel option e.g., Honda civic hybrid etc. Now many other Indian car brands such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, and even Tata are planning to launch Hybrid cars.
LPG and CNG use: Even these fuel options are emission free upto certain limits.MS800 DUO etc. are good and cheap options available in the 2-2.5 lac range.
Paper or cloth bag use: Instead of using those polythene bags, we can switch to cloth bags or Paper bags.Carry your cloth bag to te market and ask the green grosser to put the vegetables in it. You, like this, will contribute greatly to your environment.
After reading to my post you may or may not become a greater contributor to your environment.
My best wishes are with you and I hope like this you will reserve a seat for yourself in the Heavens.

So, GOOD LUCK!
