You may recall the Eko-Calendar that was brought out in 2012. It contained important environmental days with notes and tips - put thematically for each month – making it unique in the market.
The calendar had received immense appreciation from eco-conscious corporates who believe in the ‘sustainability space’.
This year's further improved version of the Eko-Calendar is being produced by Ekonnect Knowledge Foundation, a section 25 (not for profit) company that Dr. Prasad Modak has set up in September this year.
The Ekocalendar 2013 basically is a creative tool of sorts to be used by any and everybody, a quiet desk reminder of the countless little things people can do every day towards saving our environment.

Past Laureats
Piyush Tewari - Winner 2010 Rolex Award for Science and Health, India
A graduate from University of Delhi, Piyush had built a successful career in Private Equity. However, a road mishap in his family changed his course of Action altogether,imbibing in him the spirit of shield and protection for human race.
After discovering that basic life support, after a road accident, might have saved his 17-year-old cousin's life, Piyush Tewari , in February 2008, set up the SaveLife Foundation (SLF) to train police and bystanders to give emergency care to road victims in those first vital minutes before professional help arrives. The foundation trains police officers and volunteers on rapid care including trauma management, control of bleeding and spinal immobilization for road accident victims. Over the past 4 years Save LIFE has trained over 2500 Police first-responders in Delhi leading to a significant enhancement in survival rate of accident victims.
Chanda Shroff - Winner 2006 Rolex Award for Laureate, Cultural Heritage, India
Ms. Shroff won recognition for "empowering rural women" regardless of their religion or caste or class in the Kutch region of Gujarat. She developed a unique, sustainable means of income generation for village women. She got the local women to produce saris with exclusive embroideries. The first exhibition of saris was held in October 1969 in Mumbai with considerable success. The profits were re-invested into building the organization ‘Shrujan’. Currently Shrujan empowers more than 3,500 women across 100 villages in the Kutch region Gujrat.

A pipeline carrying crude oil for refining developed cracks and spilt oil in about 100 acres of farmland in a village in Nagapattinam district, officials said.
They said people of Manjavadi village detected the leak after they found their farmlands flooded with oil. The oil was being transported through pipeline from the Oil and Natural Gas Commission owned oil well at Adiyakkamangalam to Narimanam for refining, they said. Officials said it was not clear whether the pipe had broken due to recent heavy rains or the soil becoming loose.
ONGC officials said the pipes might have got corroded due to the saline condition in the area.
In August 2011, a similar rupture along the pipeline near river Devanadhi ruined Samba paddy fields. However, the damage was contained by the river, which washed away the oil slicks into the sea.
But now, the crude oil spill has begun flowing along the Kohur irrigation channel, which irrigates over 300 acres, across the villages of Manjavaadi, Anaimangalam, Kohur, Thenkarai and Vadakarai.
It is telling on the already weak prospects of the samba crop. Several acres of paddy fields irrigated by the oil slick-laden water from the channel have been ruined.

नमस्कार, आदाब, और शत्श्रीअकाल. मैं पेड़ दादा एक बार फिर पेड़ - पौधों की हरी भरी दुनिया में आप सभी का हार्दिक स्वागत एवं अभिनन्दन करता हूँ. जनता हूँ की आप सभी मेरे परिवार के बारे में और भी अधिक जानने के लिए उत्सुक हैं और एक मैं हूँ, जो आपसे मिलने में इतना अधिक समय लगाता हूँ. परन्तु क्या करूँ दोस्तों मेरा भी परिवार है और मुझे भी जिम्मेदारी निभानी पड़ती है. आखिर मैं घर का बुजुर्ग जो ठहरा. और आप सभी लोग भी तो इन सब बातों को जानते होंगे. इसलिए मेरा आप सभी से विनम्र निवेदन है की इस बार फिर से आप सभी मुझे क्षमा कर दें.
मैं जानता हूँ की आप सभी मुझसे इतना प्रेम करते हैं की आप लोग मुझे माफ़ कर चुके होंगे, तो चलिए अब हम अपनी कहानी को आगे बढ़ाते हूँ. पिछले भाग में आपने जाना की किस प्रकार से हमारे परिवार का प्रत्येक सदस्य वातावरण को साफ़ एवं स्वच्छ रखने में अपनी-अपनी भूमिका निभाता है. इस भाग में हम जानेंगे एक बार फिर खास और सबसे आवश्यक बातें जो वातावरण में कुछ ख़ास चीजों के संतुलन को बनाये रखती हैं, और वो है पोषक तत्त्व और कुछ जरूरी गैसें, जो न केवल जीव-जंतुओं अपितु पेड़-पौधों के लिए भी अत्यंत ही आवश्यक होते हैं. इन पोषक तत्वों और जरूरी गैसों का संतुलन प्रकृति में विद्यमान सभी अवयवों के माध्यम से होता है, परन्तु इसमें भी हमारे परिवार के प्रत्येक सदस्य का अपना अलग-अलग योगदान रहता है.
यह तो हम सभी जान ही गए हैं कि प्रकृति में रहने वाले सभी सजीव प्राणियों को पोषक तत्वों कि आवश्यकता होती है. और यह सभी पोषक तत्त्व रासायनिक तत्वों और अणुओं से मिलकर बने होते हैं और इन सभी तत्वों का चक्रण सुचारू रूप से होना हमारे पर्यावरण के संतुलन के लिए आवश्यक है. क्या आप जानते हैं कि प्रकृति में इन सभी तत्वों और गैसों का चक्रण लगातार होता रहता है? जी हाँ, इन सभी पोषक तत्वों का प्रकृति में लगातार चक्रण होता रहता है. पोषक तत्वों और गैसों के इन चक्रों को जैव-भू रासायनिक चक्र या बायोजियोकेमिकल साइकल कहते हैं.
अब भला ये बायोजियोकेमिकल साइकल कौन सी बला है. आइये इस शब्द को जरा ध्यान से समझते हैं. यदि हम बायोजियोकेमिकल साइकल शब्द को देखें तो हम पाते हैं कि यह इन शब्दों से मिलकर बना है:
बायो: जीवन, जिसमे पेड़-पौधे और जीव-जंतु सब सम्मिलित हैं,
जियो: भू/धरा/पृथ्वी,
केमिकल: रासायनिक तत्व एवं
साइकल: चक्रण.
इस प्रकार से बायोजियोकेमिकल साइकल शब्द पेड़-पौधों व जीव-जंतुओं, पृथ्वी एवं इनके मध्य के रासायनिक जुड़ावों को बताता है.
एक और बात प्रकृति में संतुलन बनाये रखने के लिए यह अत्यंत आवश्यक है की इन रासायनिक खनिज पदार्थों का चक्रण लगातार, बिना रुके होता रहे. जानते हैं इन पदार्थों का चक्रण कैसे होता है? आइये बताता हूँ.... सबसे पहले खनिज पदार्थ मृदा अर्थात मिटटी के द्वारा जीवित कारको यानि की पेड़-पौधों में प्रवेश करते हैं और इन पेड़-पौधों के माध्यम से ये खनिज पदार्थ खाद्य श्रीन्खला के माध्यम से जंतुओं में प्रवेश करते हैं. इसके पश्चात जब ये पेड़-पौधों और जीव-जंतुओं की मृत्यु हो जाती है तो इनके सड़ने और गलने के पश्चात ये खनिज पदार्थ पुनः मिटटी एवं वातावरण में मिल जाते हैं.
एक और बात ये पोषक तत्व पौधों अर्थात हमारे परिवार के प्रत्येक सदस्य की वृद्धि एवं विकास के लिए भी बहुत अवश्यक होते हैं, इनमे से प्रमुख ६ तत्त्व जिनका चक्रण अत्यंत आवश्यक है वो हैं: कार्बन, हाइड्रोजन, नाइट्रोजन, फास्फोरस, और पोटासियम. तो देखा आपने की इन सभी पोषक तत्वों के चक्रण में भी हमारा योगदान रहता है. और हो भी क्यों न क्योंकि ये तत्त्व हमारे लिए और आप सभी के लिए अत्यंत आवश्यक जो होते हैं.
अब तो आप सभी समझ ही गए होंगे की हम हरे भरे बेजान से दिखने वाले पेड़-पौधों की ये जमात आप सभी लोगों के कितने काम की वस्तु हैं. अरे जनाब आगे ऐसे ही कई जानकारियों से आपको मैं अवगत कराऊंगा, बस आप सभी लोग इसी प्रकार से मेरा और मेरे परिवार का देखभाल करते रहे. आगे के भागों में आप जानेंगे की हम सब किस प्रकार से मानव जाती द्वारा विकसित धर्मों और संस्कृतियों में से समाहित हैं.
तो ऐसी अनेकों जानकारियों के लिए जुड़े रहिये मेरे अर्थात पेड़ दादा के साथ. और पढ़ते रहिये प्रकृति मित्र ब्लॉग. तब तक के लिए गुड बाई. अपना और अपने पेड़ पौधों का ख्याल रखें धन्यवाद.
आपका अपना:
पेड़ दादा
