Even local efforts matter globally!

In yet another United Nations Environment Programme(UNEP) partnered events which reach out to local communities the Billion Tree Campaign this year has attracted tree planting pledges from regions all over the world.The annual "clean up the world weekend" organised last month inspired 35 million volunteers to fix and conserve their local environment. Sydney based Ian Kiernan has an active role to play when he pledged to clean up Sydney Harbour after a yacht race left him appalled by the amount of rubbish choking the world's oceans.
Awareness without action is out.Volunteering is in! And it's never too late to get started!!
So let each one of us begin with the thought that even I can make a difference and get rolling.

Global warming- Is India effected?

Contrary to the common notion that India is a small contributor to the worldwide phenomenon-global warming, we found out that we too are effecting and affected by global warming.


University of California based climate scientist Dr V Ramanathan said " Its getting darker and darker for India, as the sunlight is going down and the blanket of haze is growing thicker over the Indo-gangetic plains which might result in reduction of rainfall during the monsoons.

Professor Schrag said India was among the five countries, which account for 75 percent of coal usage in the world.

He also adds that " there will be a dramatic change in 10 years."

Both scientist claimed that the global warming impact on the environment is real.
