EnviroApps

Couple of weeks back I had the privilege of driving Erode Mahesh from Orlando to Tampa. While driving we had good conversation and found that he is not just a Tamil Standup comedian.He had great views over the future with excellent positive thinking. I thank God that I got this opportunity and talked about EnviroApps Projects. He said he will spread out Environmental awareness in his talks. It goes deep into the minds of people when such people deliver the message to all kind of audiences. I wish him great success.

In one of my earlier blogs I wrote: Praying to God to bring more people into Earth, who contributes to betterment of the Earth, it's inhabitants and it's future generations. Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Adbul Kalam in person at Casselberry Hindu temple auditorium near Orlando, FL. He gave an excellent speech and I thank God for letting me to see such a person. He wanted each and every person to always think ...what can I give. He said even if you cannot help monetarily, you can help by teaching or doing any voluntary work, wherever you live. Our EnviroApps Sustainable Land Development Project will be done following his words. Again praying to God - One day there should be a peaceful world as Dr. Kalam envisioned. People living in harmony, creating a sustainable future without any selfishness must be the future, I Pray. Please give and do Good....

Drywalls - smells like sulfur (rotten eggs) and it tarnishes metals and ruins appliances and electronics by corroding pipes and wires - newly added to the long lists of Contaminated toothpaste, lead-tainted toys and defective tires. Children are growing in these toxic environments rather than healthy environment. People (Manufacturers) - Please atleast try to do Good things...so future generations can live in a proper environment.

Good Speech: Hopefully after watching this video, each and every one of us should atleast do something good for the future. Makesh

As an environmental scientist, I am always fascinated by the forest resources near my house in India (Pollachi) and Asian elephants living there. My previous article on Elephants . I got an opportunity to write a proposal to save these great animals and submitted it to a funding agency - Asian-Elephant-Conservation-Fund : EASMSAE PROJECT SUMMARY: A. EnviroApps Sustainable Model for Saving Asian Elephants Proposal Summary: EnviroApps Inc, an environmental application entity, is proposing a model project directed to save the Asian Elephants with a committed team. Our previous experience includes providing GPS consulting to government authorities to capture dangerous illegal poachers who had destroyed several threatened fauna and killed invaluable Asian Elephants for their tusks. Also we have created awareness through our blogspot and other partners about Environmental Awareness and Eco-Justice. Proposed areas of the project -: Area (Figure 1): Tamil Nadu – India – Western Ghat...

Hazardous pesticides and industrial chemicals that can kill people, damage the nervous and immune systems , cause cancer and reproductive disorders and interfere with normal infant and child development. The nine new chemicals now listed under the Stockholm Convention are: Alpha hexachlorocyclohexane to Annex A; Beta hexachlorocyclohexane to Annex A; Although the intentional use of alpha- and beta-HCH as an insecticide was phased out years ago, these chemicals are still produced as an unintentional by-product of lindane. Approximately 6-10 tons of other isomers including alpha- and beta-HCH result from each ton of lindane produced. Hexabromodiphenyl ether and heptabromodiphenyl ether to Annex A; Tetrabromodiphenyl ether and pentabromodiphenyl ether to Annex A; Bromodiphenyl ether congeners are a group of brominated organic substances that inhibit or suppress combustion in organic material, which are used as additive flame retardants. Brominated diphenyl ethers are main...

Ten ways to save the environment: 1. Use less water. 2. Commute without polluting. 3. Save electricity. 4. Reduce, reuse and recycle. 5. Test your home for radon. 6. Check your local air quality. 7. Use chemicals safely. 8. Reuse and recycle electronics. 9. Enjoy the outdoors safely. 10. Spread the word to family and friends. At least picking five would contribute to saving the environment. Start on the Pick 5 for the Environment Web site You can share your thoughts: On Facebook On Flickr On YouTube More you can do on Earth Day Mail I received from EPA and I did more than my pick 5 today.

What on earth is that? Space Junk and debris (NOT STARS),  As technologies increase we will have more and more satellites floating causing Space Junk especially without any regulations. We would not just be polluting our Mother Earth, but also will be polluting our space. More space exploration  will continue and addressing the problem of space junk will be essential. The responsibility falls on governments and private companies to ensure cleaner orbital paths for future generations. Without effective action, Earth's orbit could become dangerously congested, limiting space exploration and satellite deployment.   Efforts to remove and regulate space debris today will determine the sustainability of our presence in space tomorrow.

ScienceDaily (Feb. 7, 2009) — Many of the substances in the most common medicines are manufactured in India and China. Some of these factories release large quantities of antibiotics and other pharmaceutical substances into the environment. There is an obvious risk of these releases leading to resistant bacteria. Cetirizine, ciprofloxacin, citalopram, levofloxacin, losartan, metoprolol, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and ranitidine were used in this study. University of Gothenburg (2009, February 7).

So many bailouts (trillion dollars) going on and a news that a 93-year-old man in central Michigan, who owed some unpaid electric bills froze to death inside his home because the electric company cut the power, made me to think something is not right. However most of the world is not running smoothly now: Economic Problems, Joblessness and Wars: Problems in MiddleEast Problems in Africa Problems in Asia... Problems Everwhere! When people begin to do good things even to their enemies, then everything will be alright. Praying to God to bring that mind to each and every person in the world. Also praying to God to bring more people like the following great people to earth: Good News: So many Green Jobs are going to come. At least we are going towards a good path.

After hardwork and setbacks in the end of the year (2008), took a break to get more positive energy. I drove to Keywest, Florida and Everyglades. As a marine estuarine environmental scientist I enjoyed my every moment at Keywest, Florida. Lots and lots of beautiful marine environment. Fauna & Flora at Everglades. Driving through long bridges surrounded by water never get erased from your mind. Hopefully we can preserve these type of environments all over the world. This trip gave me more required positive energy. However seeing some gruesome pictures of children bleeding from war made me to pray to all Gods (irrespective of religion) to give human beings more peace.
