Forestation involves establishing forests in areas that previously lacked them, either naturally or artificially. Forests provide many benefits like food, shelter, products, soil conservation and climate regulation. However, deforestation through activities like overgrazing, human activities and natural calamities negatively impacts forests. Deforestation leads to issues like decreased oxygen/increased carbon dioxide, soil erosion, global warming and loss of biodiversity. Various plans and policies aim to prevent deforestation and encourage afforestation, including the Indian Forest Act, National Forest Policies, Chipko movement, and National Forestry Actions Programme.
Solid waste management is an important issue in many Indian cities. Solid waste is defined as all waste arising from human and animal activities that is normally solid and discarded. It consists of organic and inorganic materials. The composition of solid waste varies between countries and changes over time. Solid waste has negative impacts on human health such as chemical poisoning, diseases, and odor pollution. It also harms the environment by releasing greenhouse gases, contaminating soil and water, and causing visual pollution. Solid waste is classified based on its source such as residential, commercial, and industrial. It can also be classified based on its type such as garbage, ashes, combustible materials, and hazardous wastes. The sources and types of solid waste are described. The

Solid waste includes any garbage, refuse, sludge and other discarded materials. It is classified as municipal waste, hazardous waste, and bio-medical waste. Municipal waste consists of household waste and waste from streets. Hazardous waste is toxic, reactive, corrosive or infectious. Bio-medical waste is generated during diagnosis, treatment or testing of humans or animals. Common methods of disposal include landfilling, incineration, composting, and recycling. Improper disposal of solid waste can pollute water sources and produce harmful gases. Proper solutions involve composting organic waste, recycling, and choosing more environmentally-friendly products.
Water purification is a 14-step process that begins with water collection and ends with independent quality testing. The steps include activated carbon filtration, water softening, reverse osmosis for demineralization, remineralization by adding selected minerals, micron filtering, ultraviolet and ozone disinfection, bottling control, packaging quality assurance, line sanitation, and multiple levels of quality control and testing to produce safe drinking water.

Waste management refers to the collection, transportation, and disposal of various types of waste, including solid and liquid hazardous and non-hazardous waste. It involves waste collection, transportation to disposal sites, segregation, recycling, and minimization efforts. Bangalore generates around 8,000 tonnes of solid waste and 300 million litres of liquid waste daily, with 60% being transported for disposal through burning or burying, 15% recycled, and controlling the remaining waste. Hazardous wastes, which are ignitable, corrosive, reactive and toxic, are generated from industries like pharmaceuticals and chemicals as well as hospitals and can harm human and other living organisms.
Municipal solid waste contains a wide variety of materials from both domestic and commercial sources. As India's urban population grows, the amount of municipal solid waste generated is projected to increase dramatically. Effective management of municipal solid waste involves reducing, recycling, composting, landfilling, and converting waste to energy. Current waste management practices in most Indian cities are unsustainable and will need to incorporate more stakeholder participation going forward.

Waste management is an important issue due to the large amounts of waste generated from various sources. There are different types of waste classified by physical state (solid, liquid, gaseous), biodegradability, and effects on health. An ideal waste management system minimizes environmental impacts and maximizes resource recovery. In India, most cities currently have crude waste disposal practices. Integrated solid waste management aims to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste through various approaches. Special types of waste like e-waste, hazardous waste, and biomedical waste require specific management and disposal methods due to their harmful effects.
Solid and hazardous waste management is important for environmental and public health. Solid waste includes materials like food, plastic bags, and yard waste. Hazardous waste can be dangerous if not properly disposed of. The key aspects of waste management are proper collection, transportation, and disposal of waste, including recycling and treatment. Improper management of waste can lead to pollution, disease transmission, and other health issues.
The document discusses solid waste management in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan generates over 20 million tons of solid waste annually, which is increasing at 2.4% per year.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
