Recycling - Healthy Habit

2009-08-22T02:50:00.000-07:00

We know that our earth's environment needs immediate attention, but only few are taking steps to save our planet. Our clean, colorful and bright cities also have ugly landfills and dump yards polluting our environment and living. Research shows that about sixty percent of our landfill can be recycled and it saves time, money and energy. Recycling is one of the best ways in which we can have complete usage of the products we use and act sensibly towards environment. Just throwing away trash in garbage bags or landfills does not end our waste problems.

Recycling is not a complex process; we can follow some simple steps at home or office, and be more responsible towards our environment. It is a good idea to start your recycling exercise from your home. Find some ways to reuse the resources available in your home, for example water. Check the recycling mark on each product we use and segregate the waste according to it. The main aim of your recycling program has to find beneficial ways in which you can completely utilize the product and not converting from one form of waste to another.

Natural trash items such as woods, plants and living organisms decompose in a shorter span of time [weeks or months], helping in healthy eco friendly life cycle. But, the man made items like glass, plastics, and coke-cans, takes hundreds of years to decompose causing potential danger to environment and life cycle. Thus, recycling these non-decomposable products is one of the important methods to save our environment. Governments and eco friendly agencies are taking steps to mange waste in cities and other areas to address this growing issue. However, in spite of these aggressive campaigns to promote recycling, in practice, people are less aware about it. This is because; people do not have any proper resource or ideas to help them in recycling products. Some online green communities offer various tips and practical advice on recycling, which is useful for your recycling initiatives.

To be a better recycler, think about recycling before you throw a product in to the trash. Sort and segregate recyclable products in a separate trash or call recycling centers. Find some effective ways to reuse the product or some alternative use of the product. Sort the plastics according to their number codes for better recycling. Check the internet or some green community forums where you can find handful of information on recycling various products. These small steps and practices help us in reducing the landfill and environmental pollution and help sustainability.

Each day, we are gifting our mother planet with tons of carbon emissions and toxic industrial effluents, as an output for our modern comforts and living. Gone are the days of spring, summer and winter; now we are living in a world full of climatic confusion and environmental recessions.

Modern scientific growth gifted us with devastating effects on our environment and imperiled our human living in this planet. We have endangered our own species because of our “non friendly” activities towards environment. The collective impact due to the industrial revolution, technological development and population, has affected our friendly green environment and eco systems to an irreversible state. The reasons for present environmental catastrophe are many, but we are now left with no other choice but to protect our planet. We are now forced to find some working solutions to come out of these environmental disasters and save our planet for our future living.

Global Warming - Myths and Reality

2009-08-20T21:26:00.000-07:00

Failing monsoons, drastic change in climatic condition, acid rains, rapid melting of polar ice burgs, increase in sea level and frequent droughts are some grave consequences, which we are facing today, due to global warming. The sad part of this story is that; we could not still find a workable solution to fix this irreversible effect and our technology is not yet ripened enough to provide such solutions to our environmental problems. Industrial revolution, discovery of crude oil and black coal might have improved our human living and supported our energy requirements, but these fossil fuels are one of the root causes for the present global warming and environmental impacts.

Our great home - the earth, has its own environmental system balanced by natural eco-cycles to keep this planet an ideal place for living beings. The greenhouse gases helps in protecting our environment from harmful radiations and cosmic rays emerging from sun and rest of the universe. These gases are perfectly balanced by earth’s eco system and keep our planet green and healthy. Due to our adverse energy campaigns and burning of fossil fuels we have increased the greenhouse gases to record high levels in earth’s atmosphere, leading us to an environmental disaster and global warming. We failed to understand the earth’s natural cycles and broken the eco-links to an irreversible state. Excessive deforestation, industrial emissions and burning of fossil fuels [crude oil, coal & natural gas] are the prime causes for global warming.

The governments and people are now forced to think and act, beyond their budget, economy and business to overcome these environmental effects and global warming. Our mother earth now needs care and attention from all of us. Every citizen of this world has to make some significant contribution towards saving our planet. By following some simple and adaptable measures, we can cultivate the habit of Eco-Friendly Living and contribute towards reducing the effects of global warming. Initiatives like recycling, renewable energy sources, water recycling, and aggressive afforestation are some efforts that we can do towards reducing the impacts of global warming. Our collective and sincere efforts will soon make our planet a heaven for living.
