Climate Change is real. But what can we really do about it?
Simple answer: You can start by educating yourself and others around you!
The heatwave in India 2024 has pushed northern India's temperatures past 50°C, shattering records and intensifying the country's environment problems. Alongside the extreme heat, environmental degradation in India poses severe health risks from air pollution, water contamination, and waste issues.

I come from Eastern India. Stubble burning is not practiced in this part. It is unique to Punjab, Haryana and parts of UP. The problem lies with cropping patterns and gap between two crops.

@izak9650 3 күн бұрын

And that's all because of the old laws that still exist, they prohibit planting the next crop in the latter months so the farmers need to hastily prepare the field again for the next crop. if the laws were removed i bet it would help out a lot.

Rather than vilifying farmers for crop burning they should be given carbon credits for producing crops As they are the only profession that takes carbon dioxide from the environment and gives back oxygen to the environment In fact all the industrial oxygen that is produced is produced from the liquification of air, so the industrial oxygen and nitrogen producers should pay a royalty to the farmers

What this couple has done is commendable. This may not be feasible for the majority. All municipal corporations in India must increase their fleet of CNG, Electric and Hydrogen buses while phasing out fossil fuel commercial vehicles and automobiles and replacing them with hybrid and cng vehicles. India also needs to invest in Sodium Ion batteries in a big way. The worst offenders tin Delhi amd NCR are the stubble burning farmers in neighboring Punjab and Hariyana. The govt. must address this on a war footing!

From my personal experience, you can do every possible thing to have a fantastic organic garden, but without adequate sunlight , nothing works. In goa, the rain and the lack of sunlight have thwarted every effort of mine to grow stuff. Ginger and turmeric are the few things that grow. Having sunlight ( at least 3-5 hrs) is very necessary.

@---nt5mb 2 күн бұрын

I am sorry but none of what I have heard so far adds up. Hydroponics sounds great but theres a reason that its not popping up en masse all over the world, hydroponic systems are not cheap to run or maintain, I wish they were, but they are just not! The running costs are not just fish food, you also have electricity and water, you have to keep pumps running around the clock to keep the water moving through the system and you have to top up water as water will be lost through evaporation. Gardening is a privilege which by all means if you can afford you should do, the medical (physical and psychological benefits) are huge. Also pollution in cities is because of everything, industrial (e.g. nearby coal plants producing energy to run air conditioning), diesel and petrol cars, and agricultural crop burning and all 3 issues have to be addressed together. Burning biofuels to run cars or power stations is not going to solve the problem. If low income families have money to invest then buy balcony solar, it will save you hundreds in the long run and reduce the smog from coal/oil or biofuel power stations. Those with more disposable income buy solar and whatever form of electric transport you can afford. Just stop burning stuff and if you have money and time left over to buy a plant or two then please do so, it will brighten up your home and greening cities improves the quality of life for everyone in it. And lastly I would love to know why Indian farmers esp. small farmers burn biomass anyway? Why are they not using it to make compost, it makes the most excellent fertiliser, improves the soils ability to retain water during droughts and increases fungi in the soil ( in turn improving fertility). I am probably missing something here, there must be an economic reason for doing this…?
