Which area in India that needs efforts on war footing to conserve bio-system?

CHENNAI

sembattu in trichirapalli (Tamil nadu)

because it needs war footing on conserving bio systems because of tannery industries and it polluted the area.

One of the industries that cause pollution of considerable magnitude in tiruchirapalli district in tannery . Sembattu , the study area known for its location of the airport in the district is a fast developing urban site.

Number of tanneries located in the area whose effluents often left untreated affect the land and water of the surrounding regions.

Solutions for soil and water pollution in Chennai

Soil pollution ;

Waste disposal Sanitary landfill Recycling Reuse Reduce Compost Using bio-degradable

products

Water pollution ;

Storm bins to save rain water

Anti-litter campaigns Refrain from using

fertilizers or pesticides on lawns or gardens

Conserve /preserve forests

Environmental problems Climate change

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM

S

SOLUTIONS FOR SOLVING GLOBAL WARMING

Environmental problems

Environmental Accidents

Some man-made accidents threaten wildlife and the ecosystem.

Examples include oil spills, radioactive leaks, tanker spills, pipeline bursts and drilling accidents. The best solution for accidental spills and leaks is to create additional safety protocol using both computerized and human detection

Water pollution

Water pollution is a growing problem globally.

According to the Think quest website, large industries including those that make chemicals and plastics dump a large amount of waste into the water.

The Clean Water Act waste and rubbish also ends up in the oceans of 1972 allows the U.S. government to enforce restrictions on those who dump trash and waste.

Ozone layer depletion According to the

Environmental Protection Agency,( EPA)

there are several airborne materials that can lead to ozone pollution. Ground-level ozone.

These pollutants can cause human health problems and damage to plants and animals.

Soil Contamination According to the Science Daily

website, man-made chemicals released into the dirt either by accident or through poor disposal techniques cause soil contamination.

Acid rain ,soil leaching ,land degradation.

Laws against such contamination need to be stringent, and the appropriate agencies have to be tough in the enforcement of those laws to help keep soil safer for humans and animals.

War Footing Against Climate Change: Reduction of Carbon Footprints

=

War footing against climate change

The serious threats of climate change to national survival, calls for an urgent need for a “war footing” against climate change. It is a call for “total mobilization” of all sectors in order to abort the tipping point warned by scientists and climatologists all over the world.

Climate Change

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

Every citizen should work toward reducing his or her

“carbon footprint” or the indicator of how much each

person pollutes the Earth.

FOR SECTORS & INDUSTRIES

TRANSPORT SECTOR

Improving road systems that will include bicycle lanes and sidewalks.

Use bio-fuel blends for gasoline and diesel

POWER SECTOR

Tap potential rich sources of clean energy such as wind, solar, tidal, geothermal and hydro power to gradually replace coal and oil-fired power plants.

INDUSTRIES

Structures and buildings must be designed for environment efficiency. Waste and water management, and recycling, must be practiced.

FOR INDIVIDUALS/COMMUNITIES

WASTE MANAGEMENT: REDUCING METHANE

Segregate wastes from the source. Each household and every office must have properly-marked trash bins for biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes.

A materials recovery facility (MRF) must be established. RA 9003 mandates the setting-up of one (1) MRF per barangay where wastes will be processed.

Biodegradable Wastes

Biodegradable wastes such as left-over food may be composed into fertilizers for urban food gardening; as stock feed for biogas; and as raw material for “green charcoal” production that may be used as substitute for cooking gas.

Non-Biodegradable WastesNon-biodegradable wastes such as old newspapers, used bond papers, soda cans and plastic bottles can either be recycled or sold to junkshops and factories for extra income.

RESIDUAL WASTESResidual wastes such as styropor and plastic wrapper may be shredded and used as fillers in bricks and tiles-making to repair roads and beautification of sidewalks.

URBAN FOOD GARDENS

Urban Food Gardens may be created in backyards and open spaces for planting of organic vegetables for food production, using compost fertilizers from the MRF. Food gardens may also be set-up in rooftops or roof decks, providing an added cooling system and insulation for buildings.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Use biodiesel for diesel-fed vehicles, and biothanol for gasoline-fed vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions. Better yet, to save money and exercise, why not walk or use a bicycle?

Replace all old flourescent lamps with compressed fluorescent lamps (CFLs) which cut power consumption by up to 90% while getting the same amount of brightness.

Use biogas or ”green charcoal” for cooking instead of LPG

Practice energy conservation measures such as shutting-off of air conditioners before 9AM and after 4PM.

Explore possibilities for wind, solar energy use in homes, offices and public places (e.g. solar streetlamps wind powered-water pumps).

PLANT TREESCreate carbon sinks by helping conserve forests and plant trees to help absorb carbon dioxide.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESSCommunities must be primed and organized for disaster preparedness with proper evacuation plans, refugee management. Emergency food and water supply, strengthened infrastructures that may serve as evacuation camps, and education the public.

ADOPT A SIMPLE LIFESTYLE

The best things in life are free! Avoid using objects that are energy-intensive like plastics.

Adopt a more organic lifestyle by doing, eating, and being what’s natural!
