The 1000 Tree Project aims to plant 1000 trees across 10 acres of land owned by 4 marginal farmers in Karnataka, India. Started in 2017 by Malvikaa Solanki, the project helps farmers establish tree-based agroforestry systems to provide food, fodder and livelihood security. Farmers are organized into collectives where their contiguous land is fenced and 100 trees planted per acre using organic methods. The project bears 75% of fencing costs while supporting farmers with tree selection, soil conservation techniques and surplus crop sales. The first collective has seen success with a bumper harvest after years of drought. A second collective is now being established.

Case Study and IEP Goals: Steven
Steven is a 7th grade student with a musculoskeletal disorder and an intellectual disability. He participates in the self-contained classroom for 85% of the day and works with a paraprofessional when he participates in the inclusion classroom for 15% of the day. He receives physical and occupational therapy for a half hour each week.
Steven is significantly below grade level in all academic areas. He requires a lot of 1:1 support to complete assignments. His current goals focus on preparing him to be more independent and social for high school. Steven enjoys his time in the inclusion classroom because he is able to interact with more students. He is very shy and does not like to initiate conversations with other students, but will interact as soon as someone approaches him.
IEP Goals:
Given the opportunity to interact with his peers, Steven will independently greet his peer by making eye contact and saying hello 75% of the time as measured by a teacher checklist daily.
Given a choice between two activities, Steven will independently choose the activity he prefers by pointing to the picture card 75% of the time as measured by a teacher checklist daily.
Given a picture schedule, Steven will independently transition through his daily routine 75% of the time as measured by the removal of the pictures on the picture schedule (once the task is completed) daily.
Given an adapted pencil, Steven will increase his hand strength by holding the pencil for an increased amount of time throughout the semester as measured by the occupational therapist’s notes weekly.

Hello, I'm Severn Suzuki, speaking for ECHO -- the Environmental Children's Organization.
We are a group of four 12- and 13-year-olds from Canada trying to make a difference: Venessa Suttie, Morgan

This document discusses the urgent need for environmental protection and sustainability. It describes how unchecked consumption of resources like water and disregard for the environment has led to severe shortages and health issues. Through a fictional letter from the year 2070, it paints a dire picture of a future with little greenery, scarce water, high pollution and early deaths. However, it also encourages small positive actions like conserving energy and water, reducing waste, and protecting nature that can help ensure better survival for future generations. Schools and individuals need to become more environmentally conscious and follow the principles of collect, confine, disposal and processing to build a cleaner, greener future.
The group conducted an interactive session at their school to raise awareness about environmental issues and the need for change. They formed an environmental club and community on Facebook to continue their work. Activities included waste segregation, recycling, water conservation, and working with NGOs on campaigns. They also visited villages to understand local problems and encourage self-sufficiency. The youth learned the difference between needs and wants and were motivated to make small changes for a big impact on the environment.
This document discusses strategies for scaling up Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR). It provides examples of FMNR programs that have successfully scaled up and highlights factors that contributed to their success, such as making the methods and benefits highly visible and relevant to farmers, building on local knowledge and aspirations, training many farmers who can then train others, and establishing policies and markets to support wider adoption. The key is taking a bottom-up approach that inspires and empowers farmers while also engaging top-down government support.
Two young women, Nishigandha Khaladkar and Shruti Jategaonkar, started recycling waste materials to create handicraft products like notebooks, folders, and lamps. They launched their own brand called Hridaa to sell the products commercially. While the material costs are low since they use waste, making the crafts is tedious and time-consuming. They determine prices based on market research and effort required. Their business is gradually becoming more profitable. They hope to provide a platform for other talented young people to showcase crafts made from various materials.
The article profiles Ameera Abdul Rahim Binkaram, the Chairperson of the Sharjah Business Women Council. It discusses how she developed an early interest in social work through participating in fundraising events in school. She has been working with cancer patients for 11 years through an organization called Friends of Cancer Patients. Her priorities are her work with this organization to help cancer patients and develop the oncology sector in the UAE. She believes women in the UAE are privileged compared to other parts of the world and that every woman should engage in meaningful work, whether a career or charity work.
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.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

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.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
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.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
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.
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.

Peeled

Peel
Yes, you’ve guessed it right, we’re talking
about neem toothbrushes. Experience has
just taught me that there’s more to it than
randomly breaking off a neem twig and using it, so here’s
everythingyouneedtoknowtohavearemarkablyeffective,
biodegradable, natural neem toothbrush:
Step 1: Selecting the Twig
Select a twig that is somewhat supple (a little
stiffer than the end of an over-ripe okra) in
your hands, not hard / brittle, of about 15-18 cm in length
and 0.5 to 0.75 cm in diameter. The colour should be light
brown. (Check that your proposed toothbrush satisfies
these conditions before you break it off the plant!)
Step 2: Peeling It
Peel off the outer layer from one
end, for about 5 - 6 cm. You can
cut the peels, or pinch them off
with your nails. If you’ve selected
your twig correctly, the surface
below the peel will be slightly
moist to the touch.
DIY Toothbrush
7. Step 3: Forming the ‘Bristles’
After washing your twig thoroughly
in running water, place the peeled
end in your jaw between the 1st
molars, and press down a few
times. Check after a few ‘chews’ to
see if you have a nice, uneven
rectangular bristle-like portion.
Repeat a few times. The beauty of this is that you’ll get a
customised head, moulded by your own cusps, thats just
the right size for your teeth! Be warned though, it’ll taste
a little bitter - just rinse your mouth once in a while.
How to Use:
Now your brush is ready - rub the ‘bristles’ on all the
surfaces of your teeth, rinsing thoroughly every time
you feel the taste has become too bitter.
I admit to feeling a little contrite about breaking twigs
off a tree, but the justification for this is that if we all did
this, and didn’t have to have thousands of
toothbrushes made for us out of plastics and
nylon, the overall harm to the environment
would be much less…

The Land of the Thunder Dragon
All through the global pandemic, we’ve been looking up
the death-tolls in various countries, comparing them,
discussing them and fretting over them. The one
country we haven’t really been speaking about
is Bhutan; the death-toll there is zero.*
Another key Bhutanese
score that is zero is their net
greenhouse gas
emissions quantum - in fact
Bhutan is the world’s only
carbon-negative country, making
it an apt place to discuss on World
Environment Day.
Environmental concerns are at the core of Bhutan’s
development strategies. The Bhutanese people face their
own set of challenges, but they’ve still committed to
environmental conservation goals like preserving 60% of
the land area under forest cover, designating more than
40% of territory as national parks, reserves and other
protected areas, and most recently, to identifying a
further 9% of land area as biodiversity
corridorslinkingtheprotectedareas. In
2013 their government announced
the aspiration that Bhutan will

4 farmers, 10 acres, 1 Solanki, countless
workhours and infinite passion - these
are the ingredients that make up the
1000-Tree Project.
This is a project conceived by Swayyam, a
not-for-profit organisation founded by Malvikaa Solanki
at Yelachatti Village, Karnataka. This is a place in south
India where a quiet transformation is
taking place; farmers are coming
together, land is being reclaimed,
waterisbeingputbackintothesoil.....
Let’s hear all about this transformation from Malvikaa
Solanki, whose brainchild this project is:
Tell us, how did the 1000 Tree Project idea originate?
“Well, the drought in 2016 was a wake-up call for me…
During this time I saw so many cattle die that the
carcasses would lie on the road, people did not even have
the energy to take the effort to bury them, because there
weretoomany…Thisisanareawithalotofwildlife,and
wild dogs would come and get them at night… Nagappa,
my neighbour, hadn’t even told me that eight out of
his ten cows had died…This happened in the third year
I was working on the land, creating a little

oasis - a food forest and a self-sufficient system on a piece
of hethertounyieldingland…Butwitnessingthesescenes
of drought raised the question - What about the people
around me? How is my experience
changing anything? So I asked:
What could have avoided this
situation?
What if we had a tree system?
Treesare more reliable,they can
survive drought, they’re useful for
fodder too. When there is no rain, farmers lose their field
crops, they do not have food, do not have anything to sell.
sihtdnihebthguohtehtsawsihT.seertrofostonsisihttuB
project - helping farmers create a tree-based agro-forestry
system thus ensuring food, fodder, and livelihood security
for them. Once farmers become self-reliant in terms of
food, fodder, and livelihood, the stress on the fragile forest
ecosystem which is adjacent to this area also reduces....We
were looking at a holistic, regenerative design, at diversity,
native drought-tolerant species, and species that provide
for the nutrition of the family while also ensuring income
generation.”
“The idea is to
provide food,
fodder and
livelihood
security for
farmers...”
13. TheOrganicFarmHarvesting since 1995
Photos - Verse - Tips - Insights - Interviews - Poetry - Recipes - Techniques - Profiles
How did the farmers react to this idea?
“It took a while to convince them. We said you can still
continue to have your crops, but at the same time, keep
putting in tree systems to ensure security for yourself. We
cannot talk about climate change or chemical run-off or
ecological balance to farmers suffering from lack of basics,
so we said, right now you have a bore-well - but what if
tomorrow it runs dry? If you go for a tree-based
agro-forestry system, designed in such a way that you
have different fruit trees and crops and timber, giving you
income throughout the year, tomorrow even if your
bore-well dries, you still have your trees, and they will
sustain you. And your bore-well will also be maintained,
because when you have your tree systems, you are
rechargingthewater-table...Sointhiswaywetriedtospeak
in the language that makes more sense to them. Slowly,
peoplewereconvincedandtheprojectstartedtotakeshape…
So what are the exact mechanics of the project?
“We work with marginal farmers,
holding less than 5 acres of land. A
minimum of 4 such farmers, at
least 1 of whom is a woman, with a
minimum of 10 acres between
them, need to form a collective to
takepartintheproject.Theacreage

has to be continuous between them. What we do is, we
bear75%ofthecostoffencingthelandwithsolar-powered
electric fencing (which does not kill any animals, just
deters them), and the farmers of the collective bear 25%.
Initially some people thought it was a fencing project. I
said no, its a trees project - in every acre, farmers have to
agree to sow 100 trees. We have a clear application form
thatstates allthis.Weworkwiththefarmerstochoosethe
saplings, use better methods, to plough on contour, to
follow organic principles. We support them in making
trenches and swales according to the contour of the land.
Theyareindividualfarmerswithinthesamefence,butthe
water harvesting design is done for the entire collective.
The farmers focus on crops that are primarily for food and
fodder, not cash crops, and sell the surplus after saving
seeds. And we support them in all of this.
“We started in 2017. 12 acres connected to the Open Shell
Farm* formed the 1st collective called Vasudha. They
pitched in with labour, and we got the fencing erected. For
the first time in a decade, everyone ploughed their fields
and grew a bumper horse-gram crop. Everyone took home
a good amount of produce,
they sold it and made some
money. We are working on
a second collective called

The story of the 1000 Trees project is a living story that
grows each day towards its goal of ecologically balanced
self-sustenance for the farmers, and a happy abundance
for the land…

taking the time to speak to us...!
