It is becoming norm and every year number of victims are increasing - One fire accident in a fire cracker unit has killed several poor working people. Why dont people learn from previous mistakes. What is the necessity of greed in making crores of ruppees playing with life of poor people. Safety Measures in this type fire cracker industries is Zero.  (I think when bought in bulk, gloves, masks would have been cheap and the owners could easily afford that). Pollution Control Board - Environmental Inspectors, Occupational Health Inspectors and other authorities should inspect these places frequently. I think above mentioned personnel are well educated and should do their part instead of getting bribe and keeping quiet if these industries violate the rules. Innocent poor workers are lost. It is sickening to see the families suffer because of some ignorant and greedy people. India had great leaders who had great visions. Our Mahamata Gandhiji's vision was foll...

Every day we hear about aggressive mining of Granite for making crores of rupees. Greedy irresponsible people who don't care about future of the country make huge mountain disappear. Mountains are there for a reason. They are very important resource for the country. They provide minerals to the ecosystem. By mining aggressively along with cutting numerous trees these people for sure, will turn the nation into a desert. In doing so, they affect the health of poor people who work there. Mining causes to release dust and radon gas that are inhaled by poor workers which affects their lungs that leads to lung cancer. Mining also can cause voids, affecting balances in rocks that leads to seismic waves which induces earth quakes. Environment and Health deteriorates because of such mining practices. With all that money, they and their future generations will be only enjoying the Desert Environment in the future. Rocks are very important for soil for...

It is been a while I posted. I was on tour to South Western USA (California, Nevada and Arizona). I had the chance to see the Mojave Desert , Yosemite Valley and the Grand Canyon . Enjoyed every minute of the nature tour and the different Biomes. Each time you see these places, it looks different. I had a chance to take a snap with statue of John Muir , one of pioneer Environmentalist. Because of him everyone could enjoy these Natural National Parks. Grand Sequoia Trees are unimaginable and one feel the greatness of them when you are close to them. These giant trees grow from a small seed. Year by year they store their history as rings and grow into these grand giant trees. All over the parks there are different kinds of trees and when you are there, you breathe fresh air and you feel healthy. One thing I noticed during the national park tours is they strongly insist to never even take anything from these areas, which is good. These parks will be preserved f...

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.

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...
