FOREST                    FOREST COVER A SIGNIFICANT AREA OF THE EARTH. THEY ARE A GREAT NATURAL ASSET TO ANY REGION AND HOLD IMMENSE VALUE. FOR INSTANCE, FORESTS FULFILL ALL OUR NEEDS OF TIMBER, FUEL, FODDER, BAMBOOS AND MORE. THEY ALSO GIVE US A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS THAT HOLD GREAT COMMERCIAL AS WELL AS INDUSTRIAL VALUE. MOREOVER, FORESTS ARE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR PRESERVING THE PHYSICAL FEATURES OF OUR PLANT. THEY MONITOR SOIL EROSION AND PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING. FURTHER, THEY ALLEVIATE FLOODS BY MAKING THE STREAMS FLOW CONTINUALLY. THIS, IN TURN, HELP OUR AGRICULTURE TO A GREAT EXTENT.            MOST IMPORTANTLY, FORESTS ARE A HABITAT FOR WILDLIFE. THEY PROVIDE THEM WITH SHELTER AND FOOD. THUS, IT IS QUITE IMPORTANT TO PROTECT FORESTS AND FURTHERMORE ENHANCE ...

ACID RAIN                     ACID RAIN INCLUDES RAIN, SNOW, HAIL, FOG, OR DEW THAT IS HIGH IN ACID POLLUTANTS, ESPECIALLY SULPHURIC AND NITRIC ACID. ACID RAIN IS MAINLY CAUSED BY EMISSIONS OF SULPHUR DIOXIDE AND NITROGEN OXIDE FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. THEY REACT WITH THE WATER MOLECULES IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE ACIDS. THE PROBLEM OF ACID RAIN HAS NOT ONLY INCREASED WITH RAPID GROWTH IN POPULATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION, BUT IT HAS ALSO BECOME MORE HARMFUL. THE USE OF THE TALL CHIMNEYS ON A FACTORY, SHIP, HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE SPREAD OF ACID RAIN BY RELEASING GASES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.                         THE MAIN NATURE CAUSING AGENTS FOR ACID RAIN ARE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. VOLCANOES EMIT A LARGE AMOUNT OF LAVA, PRODUCING HARMFUL GASES...

INDIAN FARMERS                         INDIA IS A LAND OF FARMERS. INDIAN FARMERS ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE INDIAN ECONOMY BUT EVERYTHING IS NOT GOING RIGHT FOR THEM. THEIR LIFE IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT DAY BY DAY. THE PEOPLES OF INDIA ARE ENGAGED IN A VARIETY OF PROFESSION BUT AGRICULTURE OR FARMING IS THE MAIN OCCUPATION IN INDIA. ALTHOUGH FARMERS FEED THE ENTIRE NATION SOMETIMES THEY CAN'T EVEN AFFORD TWO SQUARE MEALS FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. FARMERS ARE THE DRIVING FORCE OF THE ECONOMY. A MAJOR SUM OF OUR POPULATION IS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY INVOLVED IN IT. EVERY CITIZEN OF THE COUNTRY IS DEPENDENT ON THE AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS PRODUCED BY FARMERS.               THE FARMER FEED THE ENTIRE NATION BUT THEY THEMSELVES STRUGG...

RAIN WATER HARVESTING                      RAIN WATER HARVESTING IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMONLY USED METHODS TO SAVE WATER. IT REFERS TO STORING OF RAINWATER FOR VARIOUS USES. THE NOTION BEHIND RAIN WATER HARVESTING IS TO NOT WASTE THE RAIN WATER AND PREVENT IT FROM RUNNING OFF. IT IS DONE TO COLLECT RAIN WATER USING SIMPLE MECHANISMS. THIS METHOD IS VERY USEFUL CONSIDERING THE WATER SCARCITY THAT HAPPENING IN INDIA. MORE OVER, RAIN WATER HARVESTING IS SO EASY THAT ALMOST ANYONE CAN DO IT. WE MUST ENCOURAGE THIS PRACTICE TO HELP PEOPLE GET ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER EASILY WITHOUT ANY COST.                           RAIN WATER HARVESTING IS VERY EASY AND ECONOMICAL. FOLLOWING THE WATER SCARCITY IN...

CONSERVATION OF NATURE                            NATURE HAS PROVIDED US NUMEROUS GIFTS SUCH AS AIR, WATER, LAND, SUNLIGHT, MINERALS, PLANTS AND ANIMALS. ALL THESE GIFTS OF NATURE MAKE OUR EARTH A PLACE WORTH LIVING. EXISTENCE ON EARTH WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT ANY OF THESE. NOW, WHILE THESE NATURAL RESOURCES ARE PRESENT ON EARTH IN PLENTY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE NECESSITY OF MOST OF THESE HAS INCREASED EXTREMELY OVER THE CENTURIES DUE TO GROWTH IN THE HUMAN POPULATION.          CONSERVATION OF NATURE MEANS THE PRESERVATION OF FOREST, LAND, WATER BODIES, AND MINERALS, FUELS, NATURAL GASES, ETC. AND TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THESE CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE IN ABUNDANCE. THUS ALL THESE NATURAL RESOURCES MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING ON EARTH. LIFE WOULD NOT BE IMAGINABLE...

SOIL POLLUTION         SOIL POLLUTION IS THE CONTAMINATION OF FRESH AND FERTILE SOIL WHICH ADVERSELY AFFECTS THE HEALTH OF CROPS, PLANTS, ANIMALS, HUMAN BEINGS AND OTHER ORGANISMS LIVING IN IT. ADDITION OF VARIETY OF UNWANTED SUBSTANCES AND TOXIC CHEMICALS FROM MANY SOURCES TO THE SOIL IN THE ODD PROPORTION CAUSES WHOLE LAND POLLUTION. ONCE THE POLLUTANTS GETS MIXED TO THE SOIL REMAINS IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH SOIL FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME. INCREASING INDUSTRIALIZATION AND INCREASING CONSUMPTION OF VARIOUS EFFECTIVE FERTILIZERS IN THE FERTILE LAND IS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING THE SOIL COMPOSITION AND COMPLEXION OF EARTH STRATA WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS INDICATION TO THE FUTURE OF LIFE ON EARTH.                   ALL THE FERTILE LAND ON THE EARTH IS GETTING HEAVILY POLLUTED GRADUALLY DAY BY...

DEFORESTATION                 DEFORESTATION IS ARISING AS THE MAJOR GLOBAL PROBLEM TO THE SOCIETY AND ENVIRONMENT. DEFORESTATION IS THE PERMANENT DESTRUCTION OF THE FORESTS IN ORDER TO ENHANCE SOURCES FOR LIFE AND USE OF WOODS. CUTTING PLANT IS NOT BAD HOW EVER CUTTING IT PERMANENTLY IS BAD. IF ONE IS CUTTING PLANTS, HE/SHE SHOULD DO REPLANTING ON THE SAME PLACE OR OTHER PLACE. DEFORESTATION IS ONE FOR MANY PURPOSES LIKE HARVESTING, LIVESTOCK, LOGGING, BUILDING HOUSES, FURNITURE, ROADS, FIREWOOD, INDUSTRIALIZATION AND OTHER MANY PURPOSES. DEFORESTATION IS AFFECTING THE ENVIRONMENT MORE BADLY AND MORE RAPIDLY. EARTH WAS FULL OF FORESTS IN THE LAST CENTURY HOW EVER CURRENTLY AROUND EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE FORESTS HAVE BEEN CUT AND DESTROYED AND EVEN RAIN FORESTS HAS BEEN DISAPPEARED PERMANENTLY.          ...
