Pharmaceuticals Cause Serious Environmental Harm In India

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.

Bailouts, Tragedy, Prayer and Green Jobs

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.

Beautiful Environment & Worst Destruction

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.

GOOD POSITIVE and evil negative

Recently after lunch, me and one of my close friends were walking towards our office.
At that time an Old lady stopped her car and asked for directions to a hospital.
We explained how to get to the hospital to her, however, she said she could not understand what we told her, since she was deaf.
So we told that we would drive and she could follow us to the hospital. I pulled my car and along with my friend drove to the hospital and
She followed us. After few minutes we found the hospital. She was happy and thanked us and told us "God bless you".
We did a very small positive thing, but felt completely satisfied with what we did and her blessings motivated further more.

Anyone will feel excellent after doing a good thing even if it is small deed.

That’s why it is very very hard to understand the negative things going on the world.
Even a small bad thing can trigger more and more evil deeds. World witnessed the evil
in INDIA, recently. This was totally EVIL, DESTRUCTION, and HELL on EARTH.
It brought unimaginable suffering to people. Even cost wise, think how much money was lost on this type of activities.

* Millions of people are without food and clothing in this 21st century.
* Millions of people are without proper education and schools.
* Millions of people are without shelter, jobs and medicine.

If that money was used in a positive manner to eradicate all the above, billions would have been benefited, instead of suffering.

I pray to God to give more and more people positive thinking each and every day and at least do one small good deed to others.
It will make our Precious Planet a better environment for our future generations.
