Save Forests

 On this March 21, 2022 - World Forests and Trees day, writing this blog article:

Forests are considered as Lungs of the Mother Earth.

It is the Forests that saving us from human induced pollution and Climate Change.

Instead of wars, human kind should join together and work towards planting trees,  building forests and sustaining them for the benefit of Mother Earth's current and future Inhabitants.

Some of the Beautiful forests and trees through our camera:

Disney Wilderness Preserve

Ocala National Forest

West Virginia River Gorge Mountain Forests

Western Ghats, India

Top Slip, India

Sequoia Tree Forests - Mariposa Grove

As these forests are in danger of forest fires, pollution, deforestation we must focus on Saving these wonderful forests and sustain them for sustainability and survival of current and future Inhabitants.

It is shame and sad that people throw plastic, glass bottles and garbage in these areas (Pictures from Volunteers):

Thanks to these great volunteers who are selfless in doing this hard manual labor (rain or shine) to collect these spewed garbage in the forest areas. 

A great salute and appreciation to them. Other great volunteers have created forests:

Let us join together, avoid deforestation, avoid polluting in forest areas,  plant trees which will save and protect our forests.

Thank you for that.

TATA COFFEE - VALPARAI - POLLACHI area:

TATA Valparai Lemonica:

"Valparai Estate is one of Tata Coffee's largest coffee estates and is located in a massive 1200 hectares on the Valparai Plateau in the Anamallais.  Valparai Lemonica is a carefully handpicked coffee, sprinkled with Lemon Grass stalk during drying to give it that unforgettable taste."

   *Coming from Pollachi - Mahalingapuram area we grew up eating at  Shri N. Mahalingam  - TATA - Benz canteen. The wonderful taste and quality of Parottas and Kuruma - still lingering in minds, 

*Having Tea and coffee with friends amidst tea estates, flowing waterfalls and serene environments during  Valparai trips from Pollachi, were best times of life,

and with these affinities to TATA (Environment, Information Technology, Food, Coffee and Tea, we at EnviroApps and EAFARMS always wanted to use their quality products for our projects. 

TATA MOTORS:

TATA Motors had a technical collaboration with Daimler Benz dating 1955.

In 2008 TATA Motors got Jaguar. 

We always appreciate Tata's vision for bringing an affordable car which is a far better safety option for the families travelling in two wheelers without much protection - The TATA NANO car:

Our vehicles for our projects were always from TATA:

Our vehicle - TATA Indica,we used for Ecotours in Pollachi area:

Message - SAVE WILDLIFE

Our Vehicle - TATA Indigo - first used for Ecotours and then for EAFARMS farm activities:

Message - Save The Environment.

Our project - Sustainable Organic Natural Agriculture - vehicle now - TATA Altroz:

Message - EAFARMS

Our future vehicles will be electric vehicles from TATA. We will continue to use TATA products for our projects as we explore Information Technology and Environment. We support TATA as he is pride of India, love his patriotism, philanthropy, contributions and follow him as one of our greatest gurus.

TATA's contribution to India's young generations towards education:

Recently, during the unwanted war crisis in Ukraine, TATA's Air India was sent to pick Indian citizens, who were stranded in that part of the World. We are in year 2022 and after Covid disaster, why would human beings need a war. Leaders and humans still did not learn. Praying for the peace. Let us stand united together as one human race and together protect our Mother Earth instead of fighting each other. We have far more better things to do as human beings.

EARTH_DAY_2021

 As we celebrate Earth Day 2021, we have to take more steps towards preserving sustainable quality Earth and leave behind a better place for the Future Inhabitants. We should be very careful in every step  we take forward to protect what we have in every discipline. There are better alternatives which are more environmental friendly, sustainable than destructive historical methodologies we use. Young scientists have developed so many innovative concepts which does not affect the Earth, works with Nature and preserves it's quality for the current and future inhabitants. This habit should start from every individual with the thought that their deed will not affect the environment in any way. We have to conserve resources and move forward from non-renewable resources as much as one can. We have to start taking steps towards these goals.

EARTH DAY 2021

We concentrate on Sustainable Agriculture Practices at EAFARMS. Also create Environmental Awareness in social media such as Facebook, Quora and others. 

It was an enormous loss of a great Environmentalist during this Earth Day Month - 

PadmaShri Dr. Vivek ( Actor) 

who had ardently followed our great leader Dr. Kalam to plant 33 Lakh Trees and maintained them with a goal of planting 1 crore trees. Big Salute to him.

Several such people including  oldest 

PadmaShri Saalumarada Thimmakka 

have done so much in creating better environments,

We are following them and working towards that goal of planting one crore trees following them. We strongly motivate and stand behind the volunteers for Greening the Environment. Simultaneously, we want to eradicate Hunger and Poverty from the face of Earth. 

Wherever you are, please join us in our goals and contribute towards BETTER EARTH, QUALITY EARTH and SUSTAINABLE EARTH for current and future Inhabitants. Let us take that pledge on this EARTH DAY 2021.

Building_Sustainable_Agriculture_Projects

 Converting a several years of artificial chemical utilized (Pesticides, Insecticides and other artificial chemicals) agricultural land to a Sustainable Organic Natural Agriculture system takes some hard work and time. At EAFARMS we have executed this project and want to share the steps.

Practicing water conservation methods, coconut farms were maintained with farm manure without use of any artificial chemicals.

Coconuts are dehusked and the husks are used in composting again in the farm.

Once coconut flesh are removed,

they are sun dried for few days 

and pure organic coconut oil is extracted in the oil mill.

Remaining coconut powder is added

to cow feed as an additive to complete the whole process.

Pure organic oil and milk are supplied to local community for healthy produce, milk and food. 

This process of ZBNF methods are followed at EAFARMS. Integrated Agriculture (Animal rearing) - 

Sustainable Organic Natural Agriculture with Zero Budget, Permaculture and Dr. Nammalvar farming techniques along with regenerative principles are practiced at EAFARMS. 

Real_Heros_recognization

 Rain or shine, these heroes voluntarily work for the betterment of people and environment. I had the privilege working with them directly and notice they have been tirelessly working over the years as volunteers without expecting any returns. They are the real heroes.

"தனி ஒரு மனிதனுக்கு உணவில்லை எனில்இந்த ஜகத்தினை அழித்திடுவோம்" - மகாகவி பாரதியார்.

RamaKariyam Sukumar:

Even though I have never seen him personally we work with him in eradicating Hunger around Pollachi. 

Best groceries procured in bulk which is cost effectively done by our friend.

 Rain or shine, everyday his family cooks food (freshly cooked daily early in the morning), 

packs them (young volunteers help sometime)

Food supply Van

and deliver to the underprivileged people around Pollachi. 

Mr. Sukumar does this like a saint and never stopped even for a day for the past several years. I hope we can take this to next level with an objective of eradicating hunger and poverty from the face of Mother Earth.

RamaKariyam Sukumar and his friends planting trees as volunteers:

A video about him

Along with him I want to appreciate youngsters around Pollachi who daily, weekly perform volunteer work especially focusing on environment that includes cleaning water bodies and planting trees. Glad that prestigious Padmashri award were given to such real heroes -  Harekala_Hajabba, Pappammal, These types of heroes must be celebrated for their limitless service to the humankind and environment. Also coordinating the donors, volunteers and farmers which form the key triangle to eradicate hunger and poverty from the face of Mother Earth. Let us all join together and contribute towards this goal all over the Globe.
