  • EnvironMental 'DYING'

    My past talking points, especially, Heatwave and Sinking throw light on the present environmental crises that the world is fighting. However, my question is WHO are fighting these effects and how are these being fought? Aren't most of us fighting selfishly to merely survive and not considerately and selflessly, for the environment and for our future generation? The percentage of those who fight for the environment and are on high alert, educating the public, is negligible. However, the number of people pretending to fight the menace are very many and is a matter of shame, and merely a thing of fashion. The fight is real, yet, even as we are mask clad facing a pandemic, and aware of all the environmental issues, we choose to continue living selfishly and leave our planet to gasp and die and with it everything in it, too. We must act now! Now is the time. We do not have another moment to waste. If the inconveniences caused by this pandemic seem infinite and of the worst kind, facing the, brewing yet to hit, various effects of climate change will cause you to change your mind, but by then it'll all be, too, late.

  • EnvironMental 'FASHION: WEEK-III'

    It feels good to finally walk down the street showing off a pair of limited edition sneakers or having a branded tote or backpack slung over our shoulders. We lose our minds over getting our hands on anything labelled "Limited edition" and the sight of a sale on expensive brands drives us crazy and has us flocking to stores. The feeling of soft leather and the status associated with it in the society leaves us wanting more. From the manufacturing process all the way until after the item is disposed off, the shoes and bag industry is a major source of environmental pollution. The leather finish that makes these products appealing has numerous hazardous effects on the environment. The large machines used to manufacture these products contribute to greenhouse gases. Chemicals such as Chlorinated phenols, tribromophenol, chlorinated paraffins, dimethyl fumarate and so on that are used to preserve the materials easily leak into water bodies and soil from industrial discharge. It causes major harm to wildlife and plant life. The chemically stained materials take decades to break down and degrade. Sadly many of the popular and luxury footwear and bag making brands play a huge role in polluting the environment and in harming flora and fauna. Let's all think about what really matters here. Do we want to risk losing our beloved planet in the name of fashion? Here are some footwear and bag brands that follow sustainable practises. https://paaduks.com/ https://www.paio.co/ https://www.aulive.in/ https://www.brokemate.com/ https://myarture.com/ https://zouk.co.in/ https://www.sezane.com/us https://www.nativeshoes.com/ https://www.angelaroi.com/ https://www.gunasthebrand.com/

  • EnvironMental 'GREEN DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN GOOD!'

    on the topic I found out that rice paddy fields are one of the major emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs Primarly, how rice paddy fields are managed would determine the amount of GHG emission. paddy fields are a source of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and these are GHGs The factors to consider when addressing the GHG emission are: Are there other crops grown in rotation Once these are accounted for, we'll see a definite reduction in GHG emission.

  • EnvironMental 'THAWING PERMAFROST'

    These are the harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) I have discussed at length in my earlier pieces, too. Permafrost is one of planet Earth’s greatest storehouses of GHGs, estimated to hold nearly twice as much It also consists of a sizeable amount of methane, a powerful GHG that traps more than eighty times more
