What happened in last 50 years - Video collection

2009-06-02T11:24:00.000-07:00

Today i got one more interested person, who promised to introduce me to some forest personal, another small baby step - milestone

You might feel what i am putting each and every small things, because even if you taking baby steps towards you final goal, its progress and this may induce a thought of action to others.

Today i thought to put some video links related to Environment issues, here are few, please see them, a Statement of problem we are facing now a days.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-992846077964504309 -- some part is pictured in India, being a developing country we are producing more waste and Indian Population is second in world !!! we tripled in last 50 years and resources reduced at very high rate .....

http://pernik-dunia.blogspot.com/2009/04/influence-of-global-environmental.html -- Nice blog by Indian -- explained everything is very clear way.

http://current.com/topics/76173162_ecospot/ Contains many small videos from a environment contest held in 2007.

at last one small story - I cook my own food, while purchasing Bottle-Gourd (Dudhi - in Marathi) i asked him to take back his polybag, he thanked me but said, some people does not understand, they threat me to return their purchased items, if he will not give polybag. Now this is our call of action we have to help him, we may carry a jute bag- and i`ve really seen people with this type of bag, if you can not do that, use same polythenes multiple times, this way actually we can reduce the quantity of polythene waste.

Again its my humble request if you stay near a hill, join us to paint it green, send email to greenpune@live.com with you contact details, and ofcourse you can send you valuable suggestions.

here is a link of locations we have identified (Zoompune ) -- if you know any other hills in and around Pune please let us know.

We are planing to Plant trees on weekends as soon as rain starts in Pune (June 09)

Thanks
Pradeep

Glaciers are melting fast, Call of ACTION

2009-05-31T01:56:00.000-07:00

We all know what Glaciers are !!, but have you ever thought
1. Why they are melting ?
2. what will be the effect of melting?
we will go one by one but Have a look on it what is current situation ( HERE )

A glacier is a large, slow-moving mass of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow, that slowly deforms and flows in response to heat and high pressure. [Words for Wiki]

One and for most reason of melting of glaciers is rise in temperature, and we all know very well why temperature is rising,
1. Smoke produced by Industry and Vehicle and also environments activities like Volcano
2. Cutting of trees at large scale - human needs and natural disasters (now we see more frequent natural/man-made disasters)
3. Corrosion of Ozone layer - more rays penetrates inside our atmosphere, and get blocked inside because of greenhouse gases.
and you can put your causes .... , at the end list is very large...

few months back i saw movie - AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH narrated by Al Gore related to earth, climate change and their effect and how fast things are happening, i watched this movie and just to search more information about it, i tries google, even you can see the results all links are just great. He has also written a book on similar lines (here is a link) [in India you can order to InfiBean - i am not anyway related to infibean !!!! ] and second one is 'Our Choice' which is supposed to release 11/2k9, he mentioned that it contains solutions which we can implement in our life and things could be slow down.
Not only Glaciers located far from us are dying but also
Ice from Himalaya is melting,
Many rivers became seasonal, dies in summer.
We are loosing our wild life, because of these consiquences.

every thing ends with key notes or actions to be taken.
here are few things i feel we can do and those are really not that tough.
1. Plant tress as many as possible - (If you are from pune then you can join us)
2. Reduce smoke and CFC produced by your devices
3. Reduce Wastage of Water
4. Educate others about this issue.

Thanks for reading and i will love the get your comments :)

Making pune more greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen

2009-05-30T00:28:00.001-07:00

First of all thanks for reading this blog and i feel you are here because you are searching for something which is common between us,

This Post it dedicated for plantation in Pune (Maharashtra). so if you were looking for same thing please carry on, but if not then also i`ll request you to please read and see if it is worth for you and i hope you will find it useful also visit this corner of web to see latest updates.

I am here in Pune since last 5 years and always wanted to do some thing for environment,
we all know what problems we have now a days

1. Pollution
2. No/very less water (Reduce water wastage)
3. Global Warming - we can now feel heat in Pune too
4. More Plastic Waste
5. New Deceases - various types of cancers,
and many more

And things are more or less linked to each other and all has same effect rather say effect and side effect ---- making life (Human and Animals) harder to live.

But if we closely watch it is 90/10 principal which is working here. 10 was because of Environment and 90% is because of us,

We use plastic much more than required (see this old year old news)
We waste water -- in my society i can see it very well.
we use Chlorofloro emission devices -- you know very well which all devices these are, otherwise you can ask you 7 year old kid !!!!
and most important of all -- Not even thinkinh of PLANTING A TREE !!.

Our earth is not a Infinite resurvire - that will give us all the good things all the time. we have to give it back what we took for her. Not to exted this speech more, i want to say please come and join us to PLANT trees on small hills inside which are bare.

This is call of action,
some people go for petition like this (http://www.petitiononline.com/greenpun/petition.html)
most people go for words of mouth.

We are planing to Plant trees at
1. Sinhgad fort hill Chain.
2. Parvati hill
3. One hill is near SNDT -( i don`t know the name :) )
4. One small hill is at Hingne - Sinhgad road

If we plant trees who can survive on their own after rain, that will be a much better option.

One more thing, if any body knows that there would be some legal complications on Plantation please let us know,
