Protecting the Everglades: Beautiful Everglades - Coot Bay Question and Answer written by a 5th grader - Sharing her view on Importance of Alligator for survival of Everglades Question – What would happen if there were no alligators left in the Everglades? Answer: Snap! Snap! In the one and only Florida Everglades, the sharp sound of an alligator rapidly snapping up its caught prey, is relatively common. One is left to think of what would happen if the beautifully wild everglades lost all of its plentiful reptilian alligators. The answer to that question may just be determinable. First of all, without alligators, many vital habitats would not even exist. They create deep depressions that eventually fill to the brim with a mixture of salt and freshwater to form brackish water. The holes become residences for marine life such as young bonefish and shrimp. Also, there are abundant aquatic animals that are attracted to these holes during the dry season, which lasts fro...

For third year in a row I was Honorary Teacher for a day. I love to teach and train students. I have been teaching and training students at Graduate level in Environmental and Information Technology fields. However when I teach to elementary school kids, I prepare more, get them involved and I feel that I am giving some input for these Kid's future. Teach In - November 2012 Teach In - November 2013 I had been talking about pollution topics in previous years. This year I choose Bio Dome topic and was well received by the fifth graders. I told them in future, humans may live in sustainable bio domes, because of the higher level of pollutants in the environment, which also can be a self sustained sustainable living environment. An imagined  Bio Dome   They got involved immediately and asked lots of very intelligent questions. Each one them designed their own bio dome, More Bio Dome Satellite Designs It is all about Nature and Technology ...

Every time you visit a national park or even a national preserve, you have think of the greats such as John Muir, President Roosevelt and many other visionaries who had saved these lands for us. Every inch of these lands is beauty to watch. When you enter them, it is pristine, you breath the fresh air and have fun in the nature. I can't even think of disturbing these saved land. Now in Florida to save these Lands and Water - we have to vote Yes on 1 - The Water and Land Conservation Amendment.  Voting Yes on this Amendment 1 will give us opportunity to enjoy these preserved lands and water bodies. We should preserve these lands for the future generations to benefit, as we did. If we don't the future generations would have to see these lands only in pictures. I have traveled to different countries and as the years go by, there are only concrete jungles. Green forests, lands and water bodies are degraded everywhere. When you step out, you breathe dust and soot from t...

Every time I visit Disney world I feel rejuvenated. I see all kinds of diversified people - little kids, old people, young couples, people from different countries speaking different languages, people from different religion and you can add so many and any diversification category and you can come across it there. Only one thing is common there - Happiness . That's what world needs now. Mr. Walt Disney was a man with a vision and had unlimited passion to build it. Disney and his team prototyped the models into real thing. Mickey Mouse Water tank Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow (EPCOT) was also prototyped and it looks great in EPCOT.

Dear fellow human beings - instead of fighting, spread the love. That's what God wants and all religion heads have preached. I saw this recently - Be kind to all creatures , great and small - Good words and I think the picture should include humans also. Good words at a butterfly Garden in Key West After progressing so much, in this era of 21st century, we humans are still fighting. Something is not right. Enjoy what nature has to offer. Every part of the world is beautiful in its own way. So many species are even found in desert environment. Life can thrive anywhere. A Beautiful sunset - Photo by RG Spread the right knowledge and love, peace will be there.  Greed has to be stopped for building a better world. Greed on land, money and abusive power has to be stopped. Praying to all Gods to stop all negativeness on mother Earth, wars, fights and bring the positiveness such as peace, prosperity, love and good environment. Humans already face dead...

Lakes are very important water bodies which are important part of hydrological cycle. They provide water, food, recreation, act as an energy source and are very aesthetic to any area. Most of the lakes are going dry, are filled up and non strong high rise buildings are being build in them. Lakes stabilize flooding and when they are gone, heavy damage is done to the area. So during this lake appreciation month, let us appreciate our lakes and protect them.  A BEAUTIFUL LAKE ENVIRONMENT Always I am into every Environmental Research opportunity  I get and jump into positive environmental activities.  It is great to see our paper related to lake research was published during the   Lake Appreciation Month - July, 2014. Wherever you are, just appreciate the lakes around you and Enjoy the beauty.

It is very hard to comprehend that 30 whales had been hunted this year, especially if you follow and practice eco-justice. Over the years I have been successful with help of my team, in creating eco-friendly land systems, sustainable agricultural lands and eco-friendly backyards. Wonderful to see - Birds sharing food  We feel ultimate happiness when we see a small bird feeding from our backyard and hence it is very hard to read that whales, tigers, rhinos and other wild animals are hunted just for the wrong reasons. Beautiful and Huge Whales - wonderful to watch  (I could not even believe humans killing 30 of them). Majestic Rhinos Most of my life I was non-vegetarian and it took a while for me to understand the environment, ecosystems and religious systems to become a vegetarian . If I can change that way, I hope and pray that others can change or at least move towards the change (From 30 whales to 0 whales hunting, It would be great). A...
