EARTH DAY
Dr Arvind Kumar

Earth Day is an annual event that is celebrated around the world on 22nd April for the past four decades. The purpose of Earth Day is to honour, appreciate, protect, and respect the environment. The first Earth Day was held in 1970 in the United States, and drew over 20 million Americans from different communities and college campuses to become involved with environmental issues. Earth Day allows citizens to create awareness of the environment and to learn how people’s everyday decisions affect the environment. Earth Day has become one of the largest outdoor events in recent years, with about one billion people joining in the activities in thousands of different locations around the world. It is important to create awareness on how to save the earth from damage by pollution. It is up to us to make the earth a safer and healthier place for future generations. People’s everyday actions are related to pollution, which is destroying the environment and impacting human life.

Individual efforts are required to conserve water, recycle waste, start planting trees, garden beds and flowers by creating a green environment for generations to come. Making a few changes in the home and yard can lead to big reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while saving money. Replacing the bulbs most frequently used with bulbs that have the ENERGY SAVER label will help the environment while saving money on energy bills. Earth Day is a day of educating the public in promoting a healthy, clean earth. Let’s take some time to promote a healthy, clean earth on all days of the year.

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment

Avoid Plastic and Save Environment Plastic is like a common commodity which is essential in our daily lives. Bakelite, nylon and rubber are some examples of synthetic plastics. Almost everything is made of plastic! They are very convenient to use because of their malleability and plasticity. They can be easily moulded by heating. Plastic product may be non-toxic, but some small amounts of the chemicals remain trapped in the product. As a result, when these plastics come in contact with food stuffs, the chemicals mix with the food which we subsequently consume. Plastics are non-biodegradable solids. When we burnt, they release some toxic fumes which cause ozone depletion and pollution; many chemicals are released into the air as well as into water. All these bear hazardous environmental consequences. Plastics are made of crude oil and can be used as fuel. One litter of hydrocarbon is produced from one kilogram of plastic waste.

Dispel Darkness of Ignorance This Diwali By Dr Arvind Kumar Asato maa sadgamaya Tamaso maa jyotirgamaya M ṛ ityor maa am ṛ itan gamaya Om shaanti shaanti shaanti “From the unreal, lead us to the Real; from darkness, lead us unto Light; from death, lead us to Immortality. Om peace, peace, peace.” Lighting the lamp of true knowledge to dispel darkness of ignorance looming large on our minds is the need of the day. On this festive occasion of Diwali, let’s pray to God: `Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya’ (Lead me from darkness unto light). Without emphasizing the obvious we may say that it is the inner darkness that needs to be dispelled. When the pall of ignorance envelops the inner self, and the individual loses his sense of direction, his mind becomes numb and he loses his mental equilibrium. He fails to tell what is right and what is wrong. He becomes aimless and rudderless. He is caught in the whirlpool of false beliefs and superstitions leading to observance of meani
