Working Together and Saving Natural Resources

Natural resources exist around the Earth, and to protect them for the future, we should think globally, and act locally. To do this, you should think about what needs to be done everywhere on the planet, and then do that where you are at, on the planet. The survival of planet is dependent on many natural resources, some of which are becoming increasingly constrained as rising demand and climate change place them under pressure. Global Warming in India in taking its toll and it is getting warmer and more polluted with each passing day. There is a increasing shortage of natural resources which is in turn, creating a major environmental balance. We are left with no choice other than opting for wild and wacky ideas for going green and saving the environment. A lot can be done by making just a few changes in lifestyle and also by adopting measures that are environmental friendly.

For proper Earth Care, we need to work for remediating, restoring and renewing ecosystems and habitats through careful planning and collaboration with the community and the regulators. We need to focus on maintaining the high quality of our land, air, and water – and protecting our wildlife by protecting their habitat. Our goal is to limit the impacts from our operations and transform previous industrial property into clean, productive assets. If we assess the situation properly and work efficiently in our routine without harming the wild wacky nature, we will be able to protect these beautiful and precious natural resources, for ourselves and many future generations of people. And, perhaps even more importantly, we will be able to pass on these natural treasures to future generations, without exploiting, degrading and corrupting them in any way, exactly as we have inherited them.

Saving the Environment, Saving the Lives

When the world is getting warmer and more polluted with each passing day, going green is not merely an option but a necessity. There is a humongous dearth of natural resources which is in turn, creating a major environmental balance. We are left with no choice other than opting for wild and wacky ideas for going green and saving the environment. A lot can be done by making just a few changes in lifestyle and also by adopting measures that are environmental friendly.

Not only the government but common man also has to come up with initiatives and proposals that pay impetus to the degrading environment. SAARC India’s one such initiative Go Green is concentrating on bringing the environment back to its shape with lowered levels of pollution and other degradations. Why is it necessary to pay attention towards saving the environment? Keep reading.

Safeguarding of the natural environment is indispensable for maintaining community sustainability. Adequate water supplies of high superiority are obligatory both for community use and local ecosystems. Communities and jurisdictions must toil together to guarantee an ample water supply to meet future needs. Nonrenewable sources for power generation cause pollution and its harmful impacts. Energy conservation and the use of renewable fuels provide lucrative and more sustainable alternatives. Both the natural ecological unit and human wellbeing can be adversely impacted by waning air quality and climatic change. 

Communities can preserve air quality by limiting or eliminating the ejection of detrimental chemicals into the air and by minimizing the sources of air pollution. Biodiversity is predominantly vital for creating sustainability because of the specialized roles each species plays in maintaining ecological equilibrium. Communities can promote healthy wildlife by supporting integrative approaches for managing, shielding, and enhancing wildlife populations and habitats appropriate to their area. In the conclusion of thoughts, it can be said that you are required to put as many efforts you can in Earth Care if you want to see a better tomorrow for the coming generations.

Survive an Earthquake

A little knowledge and a few precautionary measures can enormously increase your chances of surviving an earthquake.  The keys are education and preparing in advance. Here are a few tips that will help you survive an earthquake that are very prominent in SAARC countries especially in India.

Earth Care- Before the Earthquake:

• Stock up on emergency supplies like batteries, flashlights, first aid kit, bottled water, two weeks food and medical supplies, blankets, cooking fuel, tools needed to turn off your gas, water and electric utilities.
• Arrange your home for safety: Store heavy objects on lower shelves and store breakable objects in cabinets with latched doors. Don't hang heavy mirrors or pictures above where people frequently sit or sleep.
• Store flammable liquids away from potential ignition sources such as water heaters, stoves and furnaces.
• Learn where the main turn-offs are for your water, gas and electricity. Know how to turn them off and the location of any needed tools.

During the Earthquake:

• If you are indoors, stay there. Quickly move to a safe location in the room such as under a strong desk, a strong table, or along an interior wall. The goal is to protect you from falling objects and be located near the structural strong points of the room. Avoid taking cover near windows, large mirrors, hanging objects, heavy furniture, heavy appliances or fireplaces.
• If you are outdoors, move to an open area where falling objects are unlikely to strike you. Move away from buildings, power lines and trees.
• If you are driving, slow down smoothly and stop on the side of the road. Avoid stopping on or under bridges and overpasses or under power lines, trees and large signs. Stay in your car.

After the Earthquake:

• Check for injuries; attend to injuries if needed.
• Check for damage. If your building is badly damaged you should leave it until it has been inspected by a safety professional.
• If you smell or hear a gas leak, get everyone outside and open windows and doors. Do not use any electrical appliances because a tiny spark could ignite the gas.
• If the power is out, unplug major appliances to prevent possible damage when the power is turned back on.

Sometimes natural calamities are caused due to human activities. Think of how to make good measures for the welfare of the Earth and do your bit!

Go Green India’ is an initiative by JSW

‘Go Green India’ is an initiative by JSW – Times Of India Group that acknowledges innovative steps taken towards Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation on individual and corporate level every year. Our area of observation extends to all SAARC nations including India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Maldives. The main categories for which nominations are chosen include:

•  Land & Water Use; Change in land, forest, and water resources.

•  Innovative Steps Taken For Protection from Climate Change.

•  Green House Gases (GHGs) Mitigation In Large Enterprises.

•  Green House Gases (GHGs) Mitigation In Medium as well as Small Enterprises.

The projects undertaken in above given categories must be innovative and should be beneficial for surrounding communities and environment. The applications are open for corporations, small enterprises, individuals, researchers, as well as NGOs. Once you submit your project, our experts team shortlists the best applications and a team visits the field to observe the real life applications of these operations. Once they are through with this process, the final candidates are then interviewed by our jury and winners are declared.

All those corporate and individuals who think their new operational strategy can help preventing climate change on a larger scale, must come forward to let the world know how a difference can be made.
