3 Minutes of Hope the Earth needs

Optimism is better than despair  -Jack Layton

April, 22 each year is marked as earth's day. While June, 5 is World environment day. Here, are three videos celebrating positivity, and the action allied with movement, necessary on the climate front.

Enjoy!!!


1. From the '1million women' Facebook page; an all in one big and small steps we can all make to support the environment






2. Composting is the new deal. The browns and greens chucked together can replenish the soil and reduce food wastage. But, is there more we can add





    3. The Facebook page of the World Economic Forum based in Switzerland is a favorite of mine. With over 6 Million people subscribers, it provides a daily feed of progressive and informative content almost unrivaled. For the eco-conscious individual, this reuse of plastic by the Indian engineers sets the heart racing (and cars running smoothly)

Climate change and global warming are firmly rooted these days in our daily diet.

Politicians, movie stars, scientists, even the pope have had to wade in on the issue. They've been gross amounts of climate advisories, published, for the conscious individual on how to co-exist with his environment.

Rainwater low-cost collection system (Africa)

If like me you are lucky to live in the tropics where the sky literally empties down non-stop between four to five months annually then you should consider installing a water collection system. Aided by the gradient of my cross hipped roof, this is exactly what I set out to do in the month of March. Averagely, the rainy season in Abuja starts in April and terminates around September. Abuja lies a mere 627 miles (1008km) of the equator and so it can be very hot, humid and wet here.

step 1; The hunt for wide October. Get a water barrel


It seems to state the obvious but you want to get yourself a water barrel. Size and durability should be your guiding principles. From my calculations, the median rainfall for Abuja is 12.5mm with July and August peaks of over 250mm and the rain comes with such velocity energized by sand and pebbles it could pierce a flimsy water storage. I did not quite have a size in mind but I wanted the biggest volume I could lay my hands on. I set out with my plumber. …
