By maintaining a bird feed you see all types of birds eating from it. Watching this makes time go fast and enjoy every nature moment. Children love when they see the birds feeding from the bird feeders. Birds can also help by eating insects and act as a natural insect controller. ( Click the pictures for slide show ) Cardinals: BlueJay: Dove: Mocking Bird: Ducks: Grey Crane: Sandhill Cranes: Hawk: Birds can help in agriculture by controlling weed growth and aiding pollination. They can be your natural outdoor pets and you can watch, photograph and enjoy every moment of Bird feeding. Some times unwanted non-bird guests - squirrels can pose a huge threat. I am not against the squirrels, but they eat voraciously and consume all food themselves. They would do any thing to get to the food source even biting the plastic that covers the food. Squirrel: Old Used CD as Squirrel Baffle along Fan light Dome: I have tried several methods to...

In this era of scandals (such as Penn state scandal) and abusive crimes against children, children should be educated about their body safety. Our friend and author - Mrs. Uma Kasi, has written books that can be easily understood by children about their body safety: "Red Light Green Light Body Satety Rules" - How a child can recognize dangerous situations. "The Parents Guide" - Educating adults how to recognize, respond, and prevent Child Sexual Abuse. Here is the website: BODY SAFETY GUIDE Every child in the world need to read the book and get the courage to say "NO", then do a escape from the place - "GO" and get the courage to tell to their loved ones, especially to their parents - "TELL" - " NO, GO, TELL" She has also guided Parents on this topic. There are so many myths around this topic - MYTH . It is not specific to certain countries and it is spread all over the world: NUMBERS Every schoo...

KCS Notes from Zero Budget Natural Farming seminar by Mr. Subash Palekar from 19-23rd Dec 2011 at Pollachi organized by Pollachi Chamber of Commerce. KCS and Pujya Shri Subash Palekar The following are the notes taken at the seminar: With 1 Desi cow (Indian indigenous cow), we can perform 30 acres of farming. • Advantages of ZBNF (Zero Budget Natural Farming) : • Insecticides, fertilizers, pesticide are not purchased. • Tilling of the farm is not required. • Production will be more than chemical (CF) and organic farming (OF) from the 1st year itself. • Only 10% water and 10% electricity is sufficient. • Above all, ZBNF ensures produce which is free of poison and hence will fetch a good price. What are the problems that resulted by Globalisation and non-indigenous type of development? 1. Food crisis 2. Suicides of farmers – All developed countries have this; ironically in under developed (according to western principles) areas there are no suicides of farmers. 3. Glob...

We are positively moving forward in the year 2012. EnviroApps, EA IT, EA FARMS and EAPHARMICS are moving in the right direction. We are praying and will work hard to achieve our goals as soon as we can. Meanwhile, completed a recent trip to natural environments that brought new energy to me to face 2012. Went to Bahamas and then to the great Everglades in Florida. Both are beautiful environments. Oceans, beaches and swamp land. God has created these lands beautifully. Mangrove forests and boat rides were fun. I had a wonderful chance to meet Dr. Yuncong Li , a great Soil and Environmental Scientist. He has several scientific publications and is author of books on Soil Science . We had excellent discussion on various Environmental Topics. Hopefully we can put together some great positive work soon.

This is EnviroApps's 100th blog. We are as focussed as we began. Our Environmental and Information Technology Projects are moving forward steadily. I wish we can fast forward, but as with Nature we have to move slowly. I am waiting for our trees and plants to grow. I am waiting for our Information Technology trainees to grow also. I am sure our trainees will pratice sustainability in future and do good. SMALL STEPS LEAD TO BIG STEPS. SMALL DROPS TOGETHER MAKES LARGE OCEANS. Thanks to GOD and Prayers, I could make a network of good people join together and work for good cause. My first blog: http://www.enviroapps.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html During my blogging, I had written about so many negative things that are happening and little positive things. Greedy politicians, environmental abusers and selfish cheaters have contributed to negative writing in my blogs. However one day, I wish and want to write more positive things. We will be doing positiv...

Today had opportunity to sit in Washington DC Dulles airport and write this blog. Twenty years back I came to this same airport for the first time to enter into US for pursuing PhD in Environmental Sciences. Successfully completed that. Went forward and completed additional Masters in Computer Sciences. How have I used my education towards real time projects: We started a project called EnviroApps Sustainable Land Development Project on Feb, 2007. Slowly, A land used for agriculture using chemical methods were changed to Natural methods. Last year we produced Organic Produce. Hopefully within few more years we will have beautiful environmental project in real world. Flowering plants, bees, trees, ecosystems, natural agriculture and so many other activities associated with environment - all in our EA FARM. All these ideas came to me because of my great teachers (Drs - Gupta, Sankaran, Vasanth Kumar (Sad that they all passed away), Dr.SS, Dr. RavinderRaju, Dr. Rajkumar, Dr. Patta...

Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project: People are getting into more and more environmental awareness. That is good. Even a well developed country such as Japan, could not do anything about the recent nuclear power plant disaster during Tsunami. Think about Chernobyl - Just do a google image search for Chernobyl pictures. Pictures can explain more than words: Nuclear Power Plant Disaster Pictures Already an area near to Kudankulam is called cancer capital: Cancer Capital So what is the solution - Government has already spent so much until now and we need electricity? Solution - This area where the nuclear power plant has been built, has sunlight most of the year. The government should spent some more money to turn Kudankulam nuclear power plant to Solar electricity generator. Now we have technologies such as printing solar panels - NANOSOLAR and it costs less than coal electricity generation. Advantages of solar - No Pollution or Radiation problems. Solar power can be...
