If Climate Change Really Behaves Like A Husband?

What a husband usually does after a few years of his marriage.

He loses interest in his wife and develops more interests in others' wives.

The same rule applies to climate change with a little difference.

It affects those more which creates it less while affecting less those which create it a lot.

A wife cares more for her husband and gets lesser in return. A girlfriend cares less for her boyfriend and gets more in return.

It is a brutal injustice that those who are causing climate change are not its worst victims. While those that are not contributing much to it, are suffering most from its worst effects.

A less-developed country - like Pakistan - does not pollute the air as much as a developed country does.

7 disastrous effects on your kids of not living green

Living green is a voluntary lifestyle. No law forces you to follow it. Nor any convention or tradition stresses you for adopting it.

If you are aware; you love this lifestyle. If you are not then you seek happiness in the indulgence of everything. Right

Our forefathers were living green but we don’t think much about them. We do remember a lot of things about their life. But we rarely talk about their green way of living.

Who among us rides on a bike because his grandfathers were doing so? Let me know in the comments section below.

We take the shield of technological progress for our not living green. We term it our flexibility to avail every new scientific invention and make it a part of our life. Actually, we do this in a craze to make our life more and more comfortable.

Were our forefathers suffering from obesity? Obviously not, their lifestyle was so simple. Why don’t we follow them? We can’t. It is our simple answer. We want to keep pace with our techie era.

21 Powerful Non-Masonry Tools To Build A Green City

We build a house by the bricks but we make a home by our hearts. Right

So, a city is built by the machinery, tools and construction material. But a green city is built by your love for the environment. It means building a city without harming the environment. It ensures full environmental care.

A city already built should also be converted into a green city. Countries in the western world are making their cities green and clean. Here in the eastern part of the world we yet to build green cities and towns.

The western world is quite familiar with the idea of a green city. In the developing and least-developed world it is still a vague idea. Here people don’t have much awareness about green living. They have several other problems to first solve for their very survival. These problems range from poverty alleviation to maintaining law and order.

That is why green ideas of collective nature do not have greater appeal in poor nations. They don’t know the inverse relationship between poverty and sustainability. It means higher sustainability, lower poverty levels. They need awareness about this fact. First, their leadership should be aware of the significance of a green city. Why it is a must for our sustainable future.

8 Irresistible Temptations of Eating Local Food

Do you know what local food is? You must know about it. So you can understand what its environmental benefits are.

Local food means the food available in your locality. To some extent it is correct.

Here locality means within the radius of 3 to 4 hundred miles. It is grown close to its consumer houses. So its producers can transport it closer to you for selling it. They save the cost of transportation. So they earn more because of the lower cost of their products. Right.

Now you can better understand its environmental benefits. So mouth-watering these benefits are; both for its buyers and sellers.

8 environmental benefits of eating local food

The environmental benefits of eating local food are many. Eight of them are as below:

A ridiculously simple guide to compost your food waste at home

Do you know that food is a major part of the waste material thrown out every day?

Rotten or surplus food that is of no use is usually thrown out and goes into trash. The amount of food that is thrown out every day is enormous.  

Every year, almost one third of the total food produced in the world for human use is wasted (approximately 1.3 billion tonnes).

It is estimated that a usual household throws away about 474 pounds of food waste each year. In Canada and US 40% of food supply is wasted per annum. In New Zealand, 122,547 tonnes of food is thrown out per year.

Global quantitative food losses and waste per year are roughly 30 per cent for cereals, 40-50 per cent for root crops, fruits and vegetables, 20 per cent for oil seeds, meat and dairy plus 35 per cent for fish.

Top 5 easy eco jobs for Asian women

You may object to the term Asian women and say why not all women of the world. 

By Asian women, I mean a segment of the population with relatively fewer career opportunities. It is because of the bad norms of  Asian society. It is another debate why women of Asia have fewer chances to grow their careers. 

The purpose of this post is to let them know another area where they can easily enter and prove their professional power. Yes, this is about eco jobs for Asian women.  

In European countries and the USA, there is lesser gender bias with regard to work. A person regardless of her gender can do any job over there. That is why in advanced countries women can easily become environmental technicians, green site surveyors, green building administrators, and HSE managers of remote oil fields without any hurdle. 

I mentioned these jobs as an example because these are relatively tough eco jobs. In relatively easy eco jobs women are in quite a big number. We can say there is no specific area of eco jobs best suited to them. The whole environmental sector in developed regions is for them just like other sectors.

Do you know how silently indoor pollution kills households?

More than half of the population of Asia relies on burning of biomass fuel including wood, crop refuse, animal dung and heavy garbage to cook their food.

As a result smoke emits while they cook and it has many harmful gases including carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide that affect the respiratory system of households.

According to World Health Organisation nearly 2 million people die of this form of pollution every year and more than half of them are from poor regions of Asia and Africa.

Women are worst hit of indoor pollution

Womenfolk are the most vulnerable to this form of pollution because mostly they cook food. They have to be near to the fireplace for hours that keep emitting smokes.

Secondly little girls are equally most vulnerable to it. In conservative societies of poor regions they are not allowed to go out from home without any reason. As a result most of the diseases related to indoor pollution are reported in women and girls in Asia and Africa.
