Dear all,'
now a days solid waste is the prime concern of every town.it was observed that most of the waste are mixed and thruoghing in to the streets /dump sites. we should give knowledge for segregation of waste at the base point itself.like from home (individual),firm .it is good & save our wealth for segregation.
many local bodies are showing interest in removing wastes on daily basis and more important thing is not knowledging people for segregation of wastes this leads for un wanted health problems and water flow obstructions every where
Dear Friends,
Some pesticides banned in many foreign countries and thses highly toxic chemicals are being indiscriminately used in our country especially in Kerala region for the production of bimass.
Mancozeb, Carbendazim, Diuron, Endosulfan and Paraquat are being used for Mango, bitter gourd crops, Banana farms and Pineapple plantations, amaranthus and okra fields. Thses chemicals is hazardous & known Carcinogens because it contains traces of arsenic and phosphorus. It causes digestive troubles, diarrohoea, jaundice, liver failure, cancer, heart disease, stroke and arthritis. They are causing groundwater as well as surface water pollutions. Chlorpyriphos is harmful to avian and aquatic life. Methyl parathion is carcinogenic and highly harmful to fish and bees.
According to Prof. Indira Devi, 56 per cent of mango farmers and 86 per cent of banana growers use chemical plant protection methods.
Market surveys done in Kerala by the All-India Coordinated Research Project on Pesticide Residue revealed high levels of pesticide residue in okra and amaranthus. People consuming these pesticides accounts for 60 per cent of the 1,000 suicides a year in the State, this is another face of vide usage of toxic chemicals.
Swami Ramdev emphasizing and implementing the usages of organic farming in biomass production through their public meetings, lectures held at various places and their approaches will certainly give a new vision.

A documentary film directed by Susanta Biswas titled "Tribal Women, Afforestation and Sustainability" was selected and screened in the 15th Kolkata Film Festival 2009. The documentary is made on the sustainable effort of tribal women in social forestry. The employment generation for the disadvantaged sections of the society, particularly women, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and landless rural labourers inhabiting the forests and adjoining areas is one of the important aspect of the National Afforestation Program. There is ample opportunity for the structured involvement of rural women’s groups under the Programme which provides for plantation and development of degraded forests. Under the current Forest Development Agency structure of planning and fund flow for the National Afforestation Program, the involvement of local woman Self-Help Group is encouraged for nursery raising with a view to utilizing the planting material in the afforestation projects. These groups are also being assisted in procuring financial support which promote formation of rural woman Self-Help Groups and their skill up-gradation. According to the prescribed structure the good work done by the Joint Forest Management Committee as the implementing agency at the grassroots level of Mandu, a village in Hazaribagh (presently Ramgarh) district in the state of Jharkhand worth mention as the participation of women in the National Afforestation Program has enriched the whole activity. The women folk have established and nurtured local temporary nurseries by themselves only. As well as the plantation except pit digging was also done by them and their counterparts in the tribals. They are protecting and caring the plantation with a sustained effort. Along with protection and enhancement of forests, the women were grouped and formed into Self-Help Groups. The women groups are raising capital through regular savings and accumulation of interests from internal lending. They are also undertaking income generating activities like Tailoring, Poultry, and Vermiculture etc. with support from District Rural Development Agencies and other Government and Non-Government organisations. The women members of Mandu Joint Forest Management Committee are now not only protecting forests with motherly touch but also putting extra hands to increase their family income. They have empowered themselves to exercise their freedom and interact with the higher officials of any department. The hand that rocks the cradle makes the earth greener with the motherly touch.
