India’s Cattle Struggles With The Lumpy Skin Disease

by with No Comment Pets

Lumpy skin disease is a new virus that has been seen as a recurrent phenomenon in cattle. Symptoms occur one week after the infection some of its signs include fever, reduced milk production, loss of appetite, water discharge from the eyes and nose, and prominent blisters that can be seen forming on the skin. While the majority of the cases have been noted to be spotted in cattle, some other animals such as giraffes, water buffalos, impalas, etc. Even when animals are getting infected on such a wild scale, people are least concerned as many don’t even know about this terrible disease that is on the loose. Impaac foundation takes the initiative to warn and inform the common people about this disease so that they can identify the disease at an earlier stage and make better-informed decisions about the same.

However, the lumpy skin disease is not a recent phenomenon as we can see its earlier traces in 19th century Africa for more than 5 years of prolonged disease and death. It spread widely in Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Republic of South Africa, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, Somalia, and Cameroon and affected more than 8 million cattle, and caused heavy economic loss across the continent. Many cattle and sheep were slaughtered so that the infection would not spread throughout the world, however, it came back in 2022 in some parts of India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan to create havoc across lands.

It has already affected many and continues to hamper others on its way to destruction and chaos. How many more animals are we willing to sacrifice for our higher authorities and scientists to take charge and find a permanent solution that eliminates this virus from the face of the earth? It’s high time we take charge and globally work towards finding a solution that protects these gentle beings from suffering anymore.

Man Vs Animal Conflict Escalates In Kerala

by with No Comment Pets

Kerala’s streets are home to more than 280,000 dogs. Their population is growing by 20% every year. This year to date, more than 21 unsuspecting people have died due to rabies after being bitten by these stray canines. However, this is not the first time that such instances have taken place in Kerala but this has attracted global concern over the state of these stray dogs. An animal rights forum has approached the Supreme Court opposing the culling of dogs. Instead, the forum has given an alternate set of proposals to resolve the issue. The application challenges the final decision of the Court which is in favour of the culling of the dogs under the provisions of Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2021. Kerala government is being viewed in dim light by many non-governmental organizations as well as the general public due to the absolute lack of empathy shown towards these strays.

Mass killings have occurred in Kerala over the past few decades and it is not a recent phenomenon to see dogs getting beaten and killed. Air guns can be commonly found in people’s homes that they use to harm poor animals. Stray dogs have always been seen as a liability here which has led people to believe that they are insignificant and do not deserve to live a dignified life. Animal lovers have taken to the streets to stop mass dog killings and instead focus on finding other solutions to dog bites and the recurring rabies disease. Dog killing is also a flourishing business that is prominent not only in small villages but also cities as people call them to eliminate strays roaming in and around the area.

On one side when in “god’s own country”, innocent animals are getting killed by humans, many have turned to protests and awareness campaigns to spread the word and help save any more animals from getting killed. This has become a pressing concern for people around the world as everyone is criticizing the Kerala government and prompting them to take the correct step while keeping in mind the lives of millions of strays that depends on this decision. The Kerala government has approached the supreme court to take a decision regarding the issue which is still pending.

Killing strays and creating a disbalance in the ecology is not the solution for dog bites. A more mature and strategy forward approach should be necessary in order to completely eradicate rabies or dog bites in the state. Many Ngo’s, as well as individuals, have put forth ideas that can help instead of morbidly killing dogs:
• People should take care of domestic dogs instead of abandoning them and leaving them to fend for themselves.
• Proper waste disposal techniques should be applied so that strays do not wander around waste bins
• Veterinary vaccinations should be made frequent and ensured that maximum dogs can get access to it.
• Stray dog shelters should be opened so that dogs do not roam around the streets and also have access to good quality food.
• Sterilize strays so that they do not lead to overpopulation

Eco – Packaging

by with No Comment Environment

As business ventures continue to expand and grow, we are left behind with tonnes of packaging waste to deal with. It is an industry that uses the most of pollutive waste substances that are non-recyclable and hard to decompose in the environment after usage. It uses a lot of harmful resources like paper, petroleum, chemical, fibres, excessive water consumption etc. A lot of these packaging containers or packets are meant for one time usage which further leads to degrading effects on planet earth. Plastic packaging is one of the most prominently used materials as they are lightweight, durable, decay resistant, inexpensive and mouldable, which means that they stay on earth’s surface for a prolonged period of time giving rise to landfills, and cause harm to humans, animals and mother earth. Processing or making these packaging boxes also lead to air pollution and release harmful particulates in the atmosphere which again is a leading contributor of global warming.

However, all is not lost as we can still divert to eco – packaging that benefits and reduces the amount of packaging pollution in the environment to a great extent. Many business ventures and organisations have already taken to eco – packaging and are contributing in their own small way, lets look at a few eco – packaging alternatives:

• Corn starch Packaging is made from the remains of maize plant that has been slowly but steadily replacing plastic in the market because of its widely similar properties to that of plastic.
• Compostable Packaging is another plant-based alternative that is easily decompostable and dissolves easily into the soil without leaving any toxic residue.
• Recycled Packaging is made using plastics that are already in nature by giving them a new life.
• Cellulose Packaging is made using natural substances like hemp, wood and cotton.
• Mushroom packaging is a newly found concept that utilises mushroom’s umbrella, stem and roots to transform into a sustainable packaging alternative.

Digital Sustainability

by with No Comment Environment

Climate change and environmental degradation are one of the most oppressing problems in today’s times that might become a huge concern for the future generations. Digital sustainability is one solution to the problem that aims to use technology to reduce our carbon footprint and use it for ecological benefits that help the environment. Many organisations and businesses are switching to eco – aware tactics that do not harm the environment in the long run while also contributing towards its conservation and betterment. It addresses everyday climate issues while also improving environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes.

People are usually hesitant to offer time and money to spend for the greater good but, Technology driven eco projects have seen a huge influx as people remotely can now offer solutions and also act upon them while being in the comfort of their homes. As a growing economy, we see a huge no. of new business ventures pop up that use a lot of resources to reach the end consumer, however, digital platforms have condensed the process while also reducing or nullifying the extra resources that used to cause pollution and harm the environment. As everything is becoming more and more dependent on technology, it is important to note that carbon emissions are also at its max that can impact the environment in a bad way.

Here are some ways in which Digital Sustainability benefits us:
• The use of paper and ink has been brought drastically, that will ensure that we pollute less.
• It helps in `maintaining a circular economy
• They can be used to monitor pollution levels and take action against it
• We get access to data that helps us in becoming conscious citizens
• Even if we cannot offer time to any environment related project, we can always donate and ensure our voice is heard

Sustainable Living – The Solution To Today’s Problems

by with One Comment Environment

The earth struggles to revive itself as we constantly put pressure on its resources and use them up mindlessly without giving them the chance to regenerate that will cause a dearth of them in near future. Such incessant usage and consumption of resources is slowly leading the planet to near death as it struggles to recuperate with the help of some people who are mindful of their contribution towards the planet. Increasing carelessness has led to detrimental effects such as global warming, deforestation, carbon footprint, etc will continue to hamper the environment if we do not put a stop to it and sustainable living is the easiest way to go about it.

Crowdfunding-Benefits-Impaac-Foundation-non-profit-platform-sustainable-afforestation-deforestation-sustainable-planet-sustain-save-protect-donate-waste-free-ZeroWaste

Sustainable living refers to a state of living where we consciously work towards reducing our carbon footprints and being mindful of using earth’s natural resources. We can consciously work towards a more sustainable planet by adopting methods that are sustainable to nature some of which have been given below:
• Carpool more often than using individual modes of transport
• Practice waste free living
• Reduce, reuse and recycle whenever you can
• Switch off devices and switches when not in use
• Use fans instead of acs to reduce the use of hydrocarbons in the environment
• Adopt renewable sources of energy
• Use solar and wind energy instead of non-renewable sources of energy

Zero Waste Living

by with No Comment Environment

Every year we generate up to 2 billion tonnes of waste that either ends up in landfills, getting burnt and polluting the environment, or stagnating the earth by remaining on its surface for decades to come. Our rash approach towards the environment has led to a multitude of problems to both humans and animals and it won’t be long before earth becomes devoid of human survival mechanism. Although we cannot abandon generating waste altogether, we can definitely minimise and change our advances to ensure a better future. Zero waste living is one such solution for waste management and disposal, it ensures that we generate less waste and keep a track of it. While Zero waste living is an umbrella term, there are a lot of methods and practices that fall beneath. Impaac aims to divert your attention towards this safe and ecological method, a lot of households have already adopted this practice, have you?

Crowdfunding-Benefits-Impaac-Foundation-non-profit-platform-sustainable-afforestation-deforestation-sustainable-planet-sustain-save-protect-donate-waste-free-ZeroWaste

Zero waste living is a way that ensures that we follow the three principles of reduce, reuse and recycle diligently. The concept of zero waste aims to wipe out trash from the environment by adopting the circular economy method where everything is reused and recycled so that nothing ends up in dump yards. This is a tedious process that would require each one of us to practice it with full vigour and determination, to fully adopt a waste free lifestyle, to ensure that we reduce the waste we generate and recycle whatever we can. A lot of waste free stores have also sprung up in various parts of the country as well as worldwide as we see an influx of people conforming to the new waste free lifestyle.

Waste free lifestyle is not hard to achieve and doesn’t require you to make much changes in your lifestyle, it is about changing your approaches and adopting new methods to replace them in such a way that ensures little to no waste disposal. Some ways in which we can adopt a waste free lifestyle are as follows:
• Take your own containers or bags for grocery shopping
• Whenever you go to any restaurants, make sure to not leave leftovers and instead pack it in a lunch box
• Replace face wipes with handkerchiefs, plastic bottles with steel ones, plastic cutlery with wooden or steel ones etc.
• Do not indulge in single use containers, cutlery etc
• Compost your food waste
• Donate your things to the needy so as to stop them from going into landfills
• Invest in high quality so they last longer

Wind Energy And Its Usage

by with No Comment Environment

Wind energy/power is the use of the all-pervasive wind to make electricity that is renewable and sustainable source of power. Wind power is not a new intervention, it has historically been used in sails, windmills etc but nowadays it is mostly used to generate electricity that can be used globally without the thought of it diminishing from the atmosphere. We mostly see the use of wind turbines to generate wind energy that is used both domestically as well as industrially. However, the use of wind power is not that prevalent today as many don’t even know about this, therefore today Impaac spreads awareness about wind energy and its usage.

Crowdfunding-Benefits-Impaac-Foundation-non-profit-platform-sustainable-afforestation-deforestation-WindEnergy-Wind-Turbine-Sails-save-dog-cat-animals-school-essay

Currently we are using up our resources that will take decades to renew itself while we anticipate its quick return. Everything we do in our everyday lives like lighting up our room, powering machines, driving cars etc. require energy leading to its quick diminishment. In the last couple of decades especially post industrialisation, energy use has increased manifold that will lead to drastic consequences on the earth. After years of research scientists have chanced upon methods like solar energy, wind energy, hydropower etc. as we have started acknowledging and using these resources in our day to day lives.

Wind energy is cost effective as well as a sustainable source of energy that makes it a more usable form of electricity. The wind power sector has been a big boom in some of the major countries that helped increase the employment gap and provided people with a secure job. Power plants are the leading contributors of harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide etc. while windmills only use the air present in the atmosphere to generate electricity while also not releasing any harmful chemicals in the atmosphere. The windmills are also easy to maintain and can be set up on empty fields or ranches. These factors make wind energy a more effective form of sustainable energy.

An Ecological Way To Celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi

by with 3 Comments Environment

Ganesh Chaturthi is the celebration of lord Ganesh’s birth that is celebrated all across India with great pomp and show. Roads, streets, houses and public buildings are decked up to honour his stay for the next 10 days as we gear up to become the best hosts. He is worshipped by many and after the duration of his stay we indulge in his farewell festivities also known as Visarjan. However, after such a grand celebration we leave behind a trail of destruction behind us that leads to environmental degradation and hampers us in a drastic way. All of these actions will lead to disastrous consequences but there’s still a way we can save the earth from becoming a future nightmare. We have compiled how we celebrate traditionally and some alternatives to how we should celebrate ecologically.

The Traditional Way

• We bring home an idol constructed from plaster of paris that doesn’t decompose easily and leads to pollution. The toxic colours mix with water resources and hamper with both human and animal health while the POP leads to environmental degradation.
• Every year we buy new idols and immerse them into water bodies when even one idol takes decades to fully dissolve this constant dumping of waste products in the water doesn’t even let the nature to heal itself fully.
• The idol is not immersed alone it is accompanied by other toxic pollutants such as flowers, jewellery, metal etc as it takes decades to dissolve or even break down, these idols float from one water body to another, it reduces oxygen levels in the water body and kills organisms.
• Fireworks and crackers are used in abundance during such festivals that increases the pollutants in the atmosphere leading to air pollution. Noise pollution is also a by-product of the same.

The Ecological Way

• Instead, we can bring home an ecological mud idol that doesn’t tamper with any traditional beliefs but at the same time is also environment friendly. It is also cost effective and relatively cheaper than the POP ones making it affordable for everyone.
• We can buy one Ganpati made of metals like brass, copper etc. and reuse it every year so as to reduce the need for a new one annually. These idols are long lasting and do not lead to pollution per se.
• We can immerse the mud idol in a bucket or a container in our backyard, this way it will dissolve fully without harming any organisms as such. This mud can also be used to plant a tree that will help us remember him forever and still continue to live with us.
• We should dance and sing without the usage of firecrackers or loud music; this would make sure that we unintentionally don’t give rise to pollutants in the atmosphere and end up harming ourselves.

Solar Energy – An Ecological Solution To Energy Consumption

by with 3 Comments Environment

India has a staggering population of 138 crores that consummates about 816 kwh per capita that results in environmental degradation and leads to air pollution, climate change, water pollution, thermal pollution, solid waste disposal etc. It also dwindles resources that will soon result in a shortage of the same if we continue using it at the same pace and hamper our future generations. Edmund Becquerel is credited with the discovery of social energy that helped us to suffice our needs while also taking care of its effects on our environment. Solar energy is when energy is extracted from the sun and then converted into thermal or electrical energy that is easily usable by humans and is also a great alternative to reduce the drastic consequences on our environment.

Solar energy is advantageous in so many ways that benefit both the environment as well as us, while there are many ways in which it is necessary to us a few of them have been listed below:
• Solar energy is essential in meeting the world’s needs and would not run out anytime soon as compared to fossil fuels.
• Solar energy is good for the environment and doesn’t hamper nature and its components, it can be used over and over again without exhausting any of our resources.
• Solar panel may seem quite expensive at first but it helps in saving money in the long run.
• It curbs pollution and helps in making it environment friendly
• It is inexhaustible
• Combats climate change

Fast Fashion And Its Consequences

by with No Comment Environment

Fashion is not a recent phenomenon however fast fashion is, that has led to disastrous consequences for our environment. A staggering figure induced problem that gives rise to over 80 billion garments a year that usually ends up in landfills. Fashion is an important aspect in an individual’s life and has been around for decades but in recent times has become more of a problem that needs to be addressed. The demand for fashion keeps on increasing as new trends keep emerging keeping the fashion industry on its toes. People without thinking of the environmental impact throw away clothes after a few uses leading to an insane amount of pollution. Individuals as well as Ngo’s have started looking into the problem seriously as we have started with the concept of Eco fashion which is ecological and can be used over and over multiple times.

Crowdfunding-Benefits-Impaac-Foundation-non-profit-platform-Sustainable-FastFashion-Fashion-pollution-deforestation-afforesation-school-essay

Fashion matters in a way that it tells who we are or what we want to be. It is an important aspect that often transcribes our heritage, culture and ethnicity through our clothes, for eg; a person wearing a saree might be from India, hence fashion plays an important role in determining our identity as well. However, like any industry even the fashion industry has its dark side such as exploitation of garment workers, lack of diversity and environmental damage. Fashion doesn’t stop regardless; the only solution is to be conscious towards our fashion purchases and how we stop them from ending up in the landfill.

Crowdfunding-Benefits-Impaac-Foundation-non-profit-platform-Sustainable-FastFashion-Fashion-pollution-deforestation-afforesation-school-essay

Fashion has become way cheaper leading to people purchasing more and more clothes and contributing to environmental degradation. This reduction in prices is only possible due to the reduction in production prices causing great harm to the planet, workers and our health. Most textile companies release toxic water containing lead, mercury and arsenic into the water bodies that pollutes it and is harmful for human, animal and plant life. The fashion industry takes up tonnes of water for dying and production purposes that might soon become the cause of drought and water scarcity in the world. Microfibers are released into the ocean whenever we wash our clothes that are then introduced in the food chain, air is also a carrier of microfibers that we inhale as toxins find their way into our body. Fibers take years to decompose and hence keep on polluting the environment until they do, these fibers are harmful to both humans and animals.

Crowdfunding-Benefits-Impaac-Foundation-non-profit-platform-Sustainable-FastFashion-Fashion-pollution-deforestation-afforesation-school-essay
Some ways in which we can make less textile pollution is as follows:

• Shopping from sustainable brands that promote ethical fashion. These brands have taken an initiative to provide fashion but not at the cost of the environment and we as the general public should do our best to support them. Sustainable fashion is the next trend and we hope to see it in the long run being a part of our everyday wardrobes.
• Frequently donate your clothes to charitable organisations or thrift stores, these ensure that your clothes are being used to their fullest potential. It gives your clothes a second chance while also making it sustainable and easy on the environment.
• Repurpose old clothing by using them for other miscellaneous tasks around the house like using an old t shirt as a carpet or making totally new outfits from the old ones.
• Buy better quality clothes as they will last longer in your closet and not result in tear in a few months. Cheap clothes wear off easily leading to an increased demand for new ones.

Happy Sustainable Independence Day

India celebrates its 75th Independence Day as we gained freedom from the shackles of the British governance on this very day. From that onwards we continue to celebrate our freedom on 15th August every year. We remember our freedom fighters and their contribution towards the greater good of the country and its people. The country celebrates this day to its full effulgence and grandeur however, we leave behind a trace of pollution that will take years and years to breakdown and attain freedom. Cloth flags with plastic handles are seen lying on the streets and in garbage bins the very next day as we chose to discard them without any patriotic feelings, we had on Independence Day.

Children and adults buy flags and tri-coloured goods in bulk to express their love for our motherland. Indian flags are hoisted on top of buildings and houses to symbolise this day as every nook and corner of the country is filled with patriotic tunes. Schools and colleges have special functions to commemorate this day. Every year we watch the historical mass parade happening at the Red Fort followed by a speech by the revered PM of the country. This year came with the vision of every house adorning a Tiranga to celebrate national unity but this may have had some drastic consequences for the environment.

However, after this huge Independence Day celebration we are left behind with tonnes of pollution and waste that hampers the survival of our future generations. We as the people of the country that has never let us down and provided ample for our needs, it is now the time for us to reciprocate and help mother nature survive to its fullest potential. During the celebrations we buy flags for us to discard them the very next day. The Indian population is of 138 crores and most of these people while buying flags do not think of the harmful side effects these will have on the earth. The cloth used for the flag and the plastic used for its handle are both harmful and do not deteriorate into the soil for a long time thus making it polluted and unfertile.

Independence Day is all about being independent from our selfish thoughts and actions of being truly free from any kind of oppression, and if we have achieved it don’t you think the earth has to too. Instead of buying flags and demonstrating our patriotism, we should plant trees and give everyone the right to clean, fresh air. The younger generation have taken the torch in their hands as many new campaigns have come in focus about planting trees for a greener earth. Social media is being increasingly used to promote these campaigns as the generations come together for a more sustainable Independence Day.

Ecobricks – The Solution To The Plastic Problem

by with 2 Comments Environment

Ecobricks is a relatively new concept that has recently sprung up and has become very popular in recent years. Ecobricks refers to the concept of filling plastic bottles with dry waste that make them sturdy and then using them as bricks for smaller establishments like a dog house, small fences preventing encroachments etc. The huge problem of plastic waste is closely been given attention as many have turned to ecobricks as a safe and sustainable solution. Many individuals as well as organisations have been working for environmental safekeeping and ecobricks is one such solution that aims to prevent loads of plastic from going into landfills.

Every year approximately 400 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated which will take about 450+ years to decompose while on the other hand will continue to decompose the environment into a state of utter disaster. Solutions as such divert the waste into useful alternatives so that we can continue to use an already used product and benefit from it to its fullest potential. These bricks are both sturdy as well as durable that makes it stronger and more immune to withstand harsh conditions. It doesn’t require industrial help hence, it is easy to make at home which also makes it absolutely free to make and use.

Ecobrick is the solution to the age-old problem of plastic pollution. It is durable and reusable that can be used for making a lot of different items and structures. Dry waste is packed into a clear plastic battle using a stick to make it dense and devoid of any air pockets, this makes it durable and strong that can be used in making structures. These do not succumb to pressure and hence act as sturdy furniture pieces to go in our gardens and parks. We can also help strays by building small pet rest sheds in and around our locality for the strays to reside in. By making ecobricks at home we can use them to build small structures around and, in the house, while you can also donate them to organisations accepting them. This way plastic goes a full circle yet does not end up in a garbage bin.

Soil Pollution – Causes, Effects and Actions

by with One Comment Environment

Soil pollution refers to the contamination of soil with harmful combinations of toxic chemicals (pollutants or contaminants) that accumulate over time and make the soil unfit for any activity. This poses serious health concerns to both plants and animals and further disintegration of soil can be disastrous for future generations. These pollutants can enter the human body through direct skin contact or even inhalation of harmful substances, the contaminants can also seep into water sources that can cause health concerns or even kill these animals. A variety of Ngo’s and individuals have taken up soil protection campaigns and continue to actively work towards it so that the present as well as the future generations can continue to thrive.

Causes

One of the prime causes of soil pollution is agricultural waste, even though agriculture is considered to be more of a non-polluting form of profession but when the toxins and chemicals from pesticides and insecticides wear off it pollutes the soil and degrades its quality. Clothing industries that believe in fast fashion over sustainable tend to be more polluting and degrade soil quality as clothes take a lot of time to actually degrade into the soil. Irregular waste management is another cause of soil pollution that is on the increase in recent years, as it takes a long time to degrade and the chemicals from the waste reduce soil quality and transform it into an unusable land.

Effects

Soil is the living force for us humans, without soil there would be no agriculture and hence no food for us that would result in widespread starvation and that might even lead us to the brink of the end of the world (P.S it might). Poor soil quality would reduce tree cover in areas that would lead to climate change and hence sprout a series of disastrous chain events. Mismanagement of waste results in foul smell that pollutes and even effects the health’s of the surrounding humans and animals. Radioactive ingredients present in polluted soil enter human body and cause adverse health effects such as cancer, deformities in unborn kids as well as old adults.

Action

Some of the major ways in which we can protect our soil and ensure its stability for future generations are:
• Farmers should use natural manures instead of chemical fertilizers in their farms to ensure that the toxic chemicals do not damage the soil and reduce its fertility in the near future.
• Practising proper solid waste management plans ensure that the soil does not get damaged due to the waste not getting decomposed.
• We should recycle and reuse as many things as we can so that they end up in landfills or give way to soil pollution.
• Industries should be a little more conscious towards the waste they produce and make sure that it is free of any toxic waste as such
