Social Forestry: Think and act globally

Think and act globally, as they say. Yes. But think locally as well. Don't lose sight of the needs of your local area and your local community when thinking globally.

Tree planting is not a new idea, but no one has really thought about making it a global initiative. The time to act is now because our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate each year because of fulfilling big population needs. We have only seen the effects of what deforestation can do so far, but now we must realize these are only the symptoms. If we wait any longer to make the changes we need to make now, who knows how much worse it could get by then?

Social forestry is for the betterment of society and the planet as well. Don't forget, there is no planet B.

Global Oxygen Levels: A Worrisome Record Low

Global oxygen levels, a critical component of Earth’s life-support system, have reached their lowest point in recorded history, as demonstrated by recent data. The chart reveals a concerning trend in the decline of atmospheric oxygen (O₂) levels, now standing at their lowest as of February 15, 2023, with an O₂ concentration of -861.01 per meg. This measurement represents a 0.01332% decline compared to present-day atmospheric levels. While this number may appear small, its implications are anything but. Understanding the Trend Atmospheric oxygen has been on a steady decline for decades. This trend, visible in the chart, highlights a clear and consistent reduction in oxygen over the years. Seasonal fluctuations are evident, but the overarching pattern is downward. The data reflects the long-term impact of human activities, primarily fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, which consume oxygen and emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere. What’s Driving the Decline? Fossil Fu...

Important days dedicated to the environment

The environment is a precious possession and keeping it for mankind is our moral responsibility. UN has dedicated some days to the environment as of 2019. Social care helps a lot to curb an environmental problem that becomes a base to move ahead of cause and effects.

Environmental science of climate change

Environmental science is the study of the environment and the effects of human activities on it. Climate change is one of the most significant environmental issues that we face today, and environmental science plays a critical role in understanding its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Climate change refers to the long-term changes in Earth's climate system, including temperature, precipitation, and sea level, resulting from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities release large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause global temperatures to rise. Environmental scientists study climate change through a variety of methods, including data collection, computer modelling, and laboratory experiments. They also investigate the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, human health, and the economy, and develop strategies to mitigate its effects...
