Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings from sasrai-Movement that has been serving voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promoting prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reducing the abuse of resources. `sasrai’ targets to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to combat Climate Change, global warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity - finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. It brings into line SDGs 01 to 06 and 11 to 16.
Pope’s Opinion on CONSUMPTION SLAVERY
“When people become self-centered and self-enclosed, their greed increases. The emptier a person’s heart is, the more he or she needs things to buy, own and consume. It becomes almost impossible to accept the limits imposed by reality. In this horizon, a genuine sense of the common good also disappears” (#204).
Pope’s Opinion on social media’s effects on our culture
“When media and the digital world become omnipresent, their influence can stop
people from learning how to live wisely, to think deeply and to love generously…. True wisdom, as the fruit of self-examination, dialogue and generous encounter between persons, is not acquired by a mere accumulation of data which eventually leads to overload and confusion, a sort of mental pollution.
To ensure rights, dignity, peace, justice for all we must get each baby caring to each particle of resource. “The world is heading for irreversible and potential catastrophic climate change.” We must stop `Consumption Slaving and Slavery’, "Let’s have mission to spread “sasrai-Movement” aimed at habitable earth. Planet demand voice from each corner to Combat the Climate Change and Global Warming Threat – Let People Act
We must promote `sasrai-Movement' preferably first step for the development personnel around the globe that brings significant change in mindset `how much less consuming I could be.' Pope’s “Cultural Revolution - sasrai-Movement” running since 2004. To materialize the Pope’s commandment UN, INGO, NGO Officials, Students and Factory worker needed to be orientated on “sasrai-Movement.” http://sasrai.com/mr-zambia-glimpse-of-hope/
To achieve SDGs earth community need sasrai Feelings and Practicing
No Matter Climate Changing or Not, Ice Melting/Rising or Not – We must Stop Our Greed, Stop the Creature Killing -- we must stop the Consumption Slaving or Slavery. We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

Communities are only as strong and vibrant as the people who live in them. So when you come across extraordinary people doing remarkable things, and those actions spread like a friendly virus to others, you end up with something quite magical and powerful: Extraordinary Communities.
The pages of this book celebrate projects and ideas big and small, some simple some not so simple. Some require time, commitment and tenacity. All are driven by a passion and a belief in doing something good. These are ordinary people who chatted in pubs, cafes or at the school gates and asked – ‘What if…?’ ‘We really need a…’ or ‘Why don’t we…?’ And then – this is the extraordinary bit – they did it.
Community green space projects can transform communities for the better, improving health and wellbeing, creating stronger social networks, and making a positive impact on environmental issues. This publication takes you through the benefits and offers guidance on the different types of green space projects you can do and how to get started.

Jenny Deakin from the EPA Catchments Unit gave a Teagasc Signpost Seminar on April 20 2021. The seminar covered water quality, focused on the agricultural sector, and the solutions needed to improve water quality, and new tools to target the right measure in the right place. This includes upgraded Pollution Impact Potential Maps for Nitrogen and Phosphorus, together with overland flow and focused delivery points.
On 25 November 2020 the EPA published Ireland’s Environment - An Integrated Assessment 2020 which provides an assessment of the overall quality of Ireland's environment, the pressures being placed on it and the societal responses to current and emerging environmental issues.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s rivers.
Ireland has more than 73,000 km of river channels. If placed end-to-end, they could encircle the Earth almost twice. Three-quarters of these channels are very small streams that typically flow into larger rivers.
Biological monitoring has been carried out in Irish rivers since 1971. The current national river monitoring programme covers more than 13,000 km of river channel.
The national monitoring programme is run by the EPA and focuses on the main river channels rather than the smaller streams. The programme includes more than 2,800 sites sampled for biology, with almost half of these being sampled for physical and chemical parameters.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring phytoplankton in Ireland's marine environment.
The EPA and the Marine Institute sample phytoplankton in estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland. They carry out sampling three times during the summer and once during winter. At each location, they take water samples just below the surface and above the seabed. They use the samples to assess how much phytoplankton is in the water and what species are present.
Phytoplankton are tiny, free-floating plants found suspended in the world’s oceans. Their name comes from Greek and means ‘plant drifter’. They are carried along by ocean currents and are usually found floating near the surface of the water. Like all plants they need sunlight to grow.
The main sources of nutrients around Ireland’s coast are discharges from wastewater treatment plants and run off from agricultural land. Phytoplankton in the estuaries and coastal waters around Ireland are monitored by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) and the Marine Institute. They monitor phytoplankton to assess the quality (status) of our marine environment. They must do this as part of the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s marine environment.
Ecologically healthy marine waters are a valuable natural resource. They support a rich and diverse range of ecosystems, habitats and species, and they are also a source of food – from wild fisheries and aquaculture. They are also important for recreational activities and tourism.
Transitional and coastal waters are assessed under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). Having coordinated frameworks for water quality for all the water bodies in Ireland, and across Europe, allows us to compare our results with other countries. It allows us to see what works to help us make sure all our water bodies achieve at least ‘good’ status, and no deterioration occurs.
This plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring Ireland’s lakes.
A total of 225 lakes are currently included as part of the national surface waters monitoring programme run by the EPA, this covers around 80% of the surface area of all lakes in Ireland.
This includes:
• all lakes greater than 50 hectares
• lakes that are used for supplying drinking water
• lakes that are of regional, local or scientific interest
This Plain English fact sheet outlines the work done by the EPA in monitoring aquatic plants in Irish lakes.
Aquatic plants are good at showing if the quality of the water is good or bad and play an important role in lake ecology by providing food and a habitat for many smaller plants, animals and birds.
They also:
• provide shelter for young fish
• help to improve the clarity of the water
• help stabilise lake shore banks
• reduce the amount of sediment being suspended in the water
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) monitors these aquatic plants at more than 10,000 sites in over 200 lakes once every three years.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

6. PROVIDING PLACES TO GROW TOGETHER
“… a moveable urban food growing garden in the middle of the King's Cross development
site. Amongst the rise of glass and steel buildings, it is an urban oasis in which herbs, chillies,
apples, sweet potatoes and cabbages grow out of skips and planters made out of scaffold
boards and other reclaimed materials.”
“… the kind of food-growing meant that there’s lots of opportunities for people to get
involved and work together and get their hands in the soil and understand the seasons and
share food together … there was a hunger from people, from local communities, to take
back their land and start growing food. And there’s something really powerful about
growing food.”
“… it’s become a mutual dependency. You know, people coming here after a day’s work are
so different after gardening, being part of the cycle again. So for mental health alone it’s
worth an awful lot.”
7. “… All of this helps to nurture a close-knit and collaborative community, which cares about
its environment and about the planet as a whole … I work with a group of ten volunteers that
are coming regularly, helping maintain the garden. They give away about a thousand hours a
year of work to maintain the garden.”
“There’s a mysterious and undeniable discovery of our own soul when we start to become
more connected to our food … Working with plants is therapeutic and rewarding.”
“People pay attention to other people. They also pay attention to animals and plants. They
behave in such a way that they do no harm to anyone. That's what we want in the
Himmelbeet. That all face each other with respect … Everyone works together at
Himmelbeet. Working together is easier than on your own. Therefore, offer your help if
someone needs help. You can accept help or friendly say "no". ” [transl.]
CULTIVATING CARE ACROSS CULTURES
8. CULTIVATING CONNECTIONS
“ … when I do Twilight Gardening ... I set them a task and then I turn around and walk away
and then I give them like sort of thirty seconds and suddenly they start talking and I know
that I’ve won again. You know, they’ll make friends, they’ll start talking, they won’t feel
lonely. You know they’ll feel part of something again. And that’s important, especially in
London … This [I, we, planet] approach provides space for people to increase awareness of
self, to connect to each other and to connect to the natural world …
“ … one can learn a lot more from each other by meeting regularly in the garden and by the
joint engagement with pleasant things … And actually one can enter into a different
relationship than if you just pass by at each other on the street.” [transl.]
9. CULTIVATING LEARNING
“… the development of environmental and social intelligence, by providing experiential, non-
formal education for sustainable development for all ages … Organisation Earth promotes
knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to shape a better future … by methods
that motivate and empower the learners to change their behaviour and to take action…To
expand our visitors’ capacity so that in their everyday activities they can identify and adopt
attitudes and practices that ameliorate the planet’s future, while contributing to collective
prosperity and a better quality of life”
“ So it’s not just a garden, it’s an outdoor classroom and you use growing to teach kids about
maths, geography, history. You know, it’s a very powerful tool that works extremely well with
children that might not be really great inside the classroom”
“There are many books on gardening, but not one in easy language. The aim of the project is to
write a book about gardening with an inclusive group that can be read by all. The project
enables a group process that gives space to friendship and exchange, but also to disagreement
and conflict … The participants find solutions themselves and exchange ideas about needs and
barriers.” [transl.]
10. FOOD SHARING: A WAY TO WELLBEING?
• Be Active … Go for a walk or run. Step outside. Cycle. Play a game.
Garden. Dance. Exercising makes you feel good …
• Keep Learning …Try something new. Rediscover an old interest. Learn
to cook your favourite food. Learning new things will make you more
confident, as well as being fun …
• Give … Do something nice for a friend, or a stranger. Thank someone.
Smile. Volunteer your time. Join a community group. Look out, as well
as in …
• Connect … With the people around you. At home, work, school or in
your local community. Think of these as the cornerstones of your life,
invest time in developing them …
• Take Notice … Be curious. Notice the changing seasons. Be aware of the
world around you and what you are feeling. Reflecting on your
experiences will help you appreciate what matters to you.
• Care for the Planet ... look after your community and the world. Make
small changes to your life that will reduce your consumption, small
steps to a greener life can make a difference.https://livewellkent.org.uk/six-ways-wellbeing
12. Examining key challenges, and in particular recognising
the central role for land use planning, a number of
themes emerged which included:
• Insecure access to land due to a lack of long-term
planning for shared growing spaces by planners and
policy makers [Challenge 4]
• A lack of common language to communicate the
positive impacts of urban growing, and shared
growing, between the different stakeholders
involved [Challenge 11]
• Commercial and financial interests hold significant
power and are given priority when it comes to
forming policy and shaping planning decisions
[Challenge 14]

KEY CHALLENGES
13. The groups identified a number of challenges for which they already
knew of responses and explored where these took place and who was
involved.
Responses included:
• Training (anti-racism) for staff (e.g. New York City)
• Preserving spaces and funds for marginalised groups to get active and
self organise
• Meeting people where they are (e.g. Portland)
• Personal contact and adapting communications for different
communities (e.g. language considerations)
Responses included:
• Displaying the positive impacts for public land (e.g. Amsterdam)
• Changing building codes (e.g. Oslo)
• Lawsuits & legal tools to protect land such as land trusts (e.g. USA, UK)
• Public pressure and champions for urban agriculture
• Identifying diverse spaces for growing (e.g. rooftops)
Challenge 13: Lack of Inclusivity
Challenge 4: Difficulty securing land tenure
KNOWN RESPONSES:
