Greening the Environment

As deforestation is occurring in the name of development especially road expansions all over World,  it is very important to plant more and more trees to green the environment. Trees are very important for the environment.  They not only provide important oxygen but also are very important for rainfall for the areas they are in, apart from so many other benefits. Every one knows it is one of the important tool to fight the human induced climate change as it acts as great carbon sink.

Anywhere in the World, in your home, you can put some soil in a pot or even in a sack and grow your own produce (at least some spinach and herbs). With some rice it can make a good tasty combination food too. So, on that lines, I want to share some ( Produce during Pandemic )  photos that I received from all over the Globe from few of my friends through social media. From India: Tamil Nadu: (Produce from EA farms , Friend's farm and Urban Agriculture):   Kerala: From :USA: West Virginia; In ...

Messages reach at faster rate now than any other time from the past.  These tools could be used for spreading negative news, but at the same  time the tools could be used for faster communication and executing fruitful projects also.  These tools should be positively used to immediately eradicate two evils from the face of   Mother Earth - Poverty and Racism.  One cannot believe that these exists even in 21st century and even after wonderful leaders sacrificed their precious lives for eradicating these evils. Have written the following articles 5 years before on eradicating poverty and racism.  2015 - Eradicate Poverty   2014 - Ecojustice and No to Racism But even now real change did not happen, These evils still persists in Mother Earth. Along with this animal cruelty has also increased. As an avid elephant well wisher it is hard  to believe that a pregn...
