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)

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.

President Trump and the Environment

Donald J. Trump was sworn in on 20th January 2017 and immediately set to work dismantling the environmental landmark policies of his predecessor, Barack Obama. Obama presidency will be fondly looked back on from the angle of environmental issues. He worked tirelessly to protect the America public and its air, sea, and land from the effects of pollution, coal addiction, land degradation and set America on the path of renewable energy. On the eve of his completion of tenure, Obama designated two areas, in Utah and Nevada as national monuments. The total area of the new Protected sites, the Bear Ears National Monument and the Gold Butte measure well over 1.6 Million acres (647497 ha). In his eight years in office, President Obama has put such seal on 29 national monuments to protect them.
On the environmental issues of our time, Trump is not hard to pin down. He has professed love for the environment, but his actions belie those words. The support for more digging for coal and more dril…
