How to promote Environmental Awareness?
Importance of Environmental education for Sustainable DevelopmentDr. Goutam Patra
This document discusses various topics related to environmental education and sustainability. It covers: the current state of pollution; the effects of climate change like rising sea levels; how overconsumption is damaging the environment; defining sustainable development; the limited role of science and technology without also addressing societal attitudes; and how environmental education curriculum should focus on both preventing pollution and dealing with existing pollution, while instilling moral values in students.
The document discusses the author's experience becoming concerned about climate change as a young person and their efforts to raise awareness and take action. It describes how at age 13, they attended their first international youth environmental conference, where they realized their concerns were related to climate justice and future generations. The author founded a website to educate young people on environmental issues and solutions. They have continued attending conferences, speaking on issues like plastic pollution in oceans, and advocating for including youth voices and sustainable solutions.
This document discusses the importance of environmental education and sustainable development. It makes three key points:
1) Current environmental problems like pollution, natural disasters, and climate change threaten our natural resources and future generations unless consumption is reduced.
2) While science and technology can help manage environmental impacts, fundamental changes in societal attitudes and moral education are needed to achieve sustainability.
3) Environmental education curricula must go beyond teaching facts to promote hands-on learning and responsible environmental behavior starting from a young age. It should emphasize reducing consumption to safeguard resources for the future.
Youth have an important role to play in addressing environmental issues like climate change, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. [1] Environmental activism can help develop youth's skills and participation in addressing these problems. [2] Youth can raise awareness, influence legislation, push companies toward greener practices, and organize recycling campaigns. [3] To achieve environmental goals, youth ambassadors should replicate sustainability programs in their communities and act as role models to inspire others.

This document discusses environmental studies and its importance. It defines environmental studies as a multidisciplinary field that examines human interaction with the environment. It notes that environmental studies connects various academic disciplines to address complex environmental issues. The document also outlines the history and uses of environmental studies, including helping build knowledge and skills to address environmental problems. It concludes that balancing population, economic and environmental factors is essential for sustainability.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) aims to assess the potential environmental consequences of planned projects to inform decision making, though definitions vary, with EIA serving as an organized means to gather and analyze information to predict likely impacts on the biophysical and human environments, which often depends on individual values and judgements, and EIA is also viewed as an environmental management tool by recommending mitigation measures if a project is approved to manage impacts. EIA has become an important decision-making process that involves predicting impacts through interpreting available information, and it provides recommendations for managing impacts if a project moves forward in order to implement mitigation based on predicted impacts.
Climate change poses serious threats to children, especially in developing countries. Nearly nine million children die each year from preventable diseases that will be exacerbated by climate change. Children in developing nations will bear 85% of the global disease burden from climate change. Involving children in climate change adaptation and reducing disaster risks must be a priority. Children can play an active role in mitigating impacts at the community level if given the chance. Governments should invest in children's education and empowerment to support climate change adaptation programs led by children.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Presented by The Global Peatlands Assessment: Mapping, Policy, and Action at GLF Peatlands 2024 - The Global Peatlands Assessment: Mapping, Policy, and Action
1. ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE LITERACY
By: April Alice Angelie C. Balmocena
The earth’s climate has changed overtime and it is felt throughout the world. Our
country, the Philippines, is not spared from it. According to a study by the World Bank,
the Philippines is among the top 12 countries that are at the highest risk of experiencing
the hazards of climate and vulnerable to tropical cyclones.
This is the reason why environmental and climate literacy is given importance.
Humans have to change the way they think. If we want to have a lush, green and
sustainable lifestyle and environment, we first have to ‘green our minds’. This means that
people must think in preserving, conserving and protecting our environment not only for
the present but for the future generations as well.
Thus, education is the key to progress. When people are empowered with
knowledge, people can then think of ways that they can defend their environment and
promote sustainable solutions to their existing environmental problems/issues and
climate change that would benefit their communities both present and future.
Furthermore, environmental awareness has a great role in inculcating green
thinking in people’s minds. It is not an easy task, that is why we need our policy makers
to include environmental policies that would change the behavior of citizens towards an
environmental-friendly behavior.
Protecting the environment is everybody’s job and responsibility. Environmental
problems and climate change along its negative impacts are real and it affects us all.
