UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
"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.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

Natural Resources
2. Introduction
The term “resource” means any thing that we use from our
environment to achieve our objective.
For example, we require bricks, cement, iron, wood etc. to
construct a building.
All these items are called the resources for construction of
building.
A resource can be defined as ‘any natural or artificial
substance, energy or organism, which is used by human being
for its welfare.
3. Introduction
These resources are of two types:
(a) Natural resources
(b) Artificial resource
(a) Natural resources: All that the nature has provided such as soil, air,
water, minerals, coal, sunshine (sunlight), animals and plants, etc.
Human being uses these directly or indirectly for survival and welfare.
(b) Artificial resource: The resources, which have been developed by
human being during the growth of civilization. For example, biogas,
thermal electricity, plastics, etc are man- made resources. These man-
made resources are generally derived from some other natural resources.
For example, plastics and many other chemical products are ultimately
derived from the natural resource of petroleum.
5. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
As the human population is continuously growing the consumption of natural
resources is also increasing.
With the increasing industrialization and urbanization of the modern human
society, the use of all the resources is rising.
If they are not properly used and well managed, a serious scarcity will result.
Therefore we need to conserve the natural resources. This will also upset the
ecological balance.
Conservation is the proper management of a natural resource to prevent its
exploitation, destruction or degradation.
Conservation is the sum total of activities, which can derive benefits from natural
resources but at the same time prevent excessive use leading to destruction or
degradation.
6. Need for Conservation of Natural Resources
We know that nature provides us all our basic needs but we tend
to overexploit it.
If we go on exploiting the nature, there will be no more resources
available in future.
There is an urgent need to conserve the nature. Some of the needs
are :
< To maintain ecological balance for supporting life.
< To preserve different kinds of species (biodiversity).
< To make the resources available for present and future
generation.
< To ensure the survival of human race.
7. Major natural resources
(i) Forest resources
(ii) Water resources
(iii) Mineral resources
(iv) Food resources
(v) Energy resources
(vi) Land resources.
8. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
ROLE OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO CONSERVE WATER
Don’t keep water taps running while brushing, shaving, washing or bathing.
In washing machines fill the machine only to the level required for your clothes.
In washing machines fill the machine only to the level required for your clothes.
Install water-saving toilets that use not more than 6 liters per
flush.
Check for water leaks in pipes and toilets and repair them promptly. A small pin-
hole sized leak will lead to the wastage of 640 liters of water in a month.
Reuse the soapy water of washings from clothes for washing off the courtyards,
driveways etc.
9. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Water the plants in your kitchen-garden and the lawns in
the evening when evaporation losses are minimum.
Never water the plants in mid-day.
Use drip irrigation and sprinkling irrigation to
improve irrigation efficiency and reduce evaporation.
Install a small system to capture rain water and
collect normally wasted used water from sinks, cloth-
washers, bath- tubs etc. which can be used for watering
the plants.
Build rain water harvesting system in your house.
10. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
ROLE OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO CONSERVE ENERGY
Turn off lights, fans and other appliances when not in use.
Obtain as much heat as possible from natural sources. Dry the clothes in sun instead
of drier if it is a sunny day.
Use solar cooker for cooking your food on sunny days which will be more nutritious
and will cut down on your LPG expenses.
Build your house with provision for sunspace which will keep your house warmer
and will provide more light.
Grow deciduous trees and climbers at proper places outside your home to cut off
intense heat of summers and get a cool breeze and shade. This will cut off your
electricity charges on coolers and air-conditioners. A big tree is estimated to have a
cooling effect equivalent to five air conditioners. Some trees shed their leaves in
winter. Therefore they do not put any hindrance to the sunlight and heat.
11. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Drive less, make fewer trips and use public transportations whenever
possible. You can share by joining a car-pool if you regularly have to go to
the same place.
Add more insulation to your house. During winter close the windows at
night. During summer close the windows during days if using an A.C.
Otherwise loss of heat would be more, consuming more electricity.
Instead of using the heat convector more often wear adequate woolens.
Recycle and reuse glass, metals and paper.
Try riding bicycle or just walk down small distances instead of using your
car or scooter.
Lower the cooling load on an air conditioner by increasing the thermostat
setting as 3-5 % electricity is saved for every one degree rise in temperature
setting.
12. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
ROLE OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO PROTECT THE SOIL
While constructing your house, don’t uproot the trees as far as
possible. Plant the disturbed areas with a fast growing native
ground cover.
Grow different types of ornamental plants, herbs and trees in your
garden. Grow grass in the open areas which will bind the soil and
prevent its erosion.
Make compost from your kitchen waste and use it for your kitchen-
garden or flower-pots.
Do not irrigate the plants using a strong flow of water, as it would
wash off the soil.
13. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Better use sprinkling irrigation.
Use green manure and mulch in the garden and
kitchen-garden which will protect the soil.
If you own agricultural fields, do not over-irrigate
your fields without proper drainage to prevent
water logging and salinisation.
Use mixed cropping so that some specific soil
nutrients do not get depleted.
14. CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
ROLE OF AN INDIVIDUAL TO PROMOTE
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Do not waste food. Take as much as you can eat.
Reduce the use of pesticides.
Fertilize your crop primarily with organic fertilizers.
Use drip irrigation to water the crops.
Eat local and seasonal vegetables. This saves lot of energy on
transport, storage and preservation.
Control pests by a combination of cultivation and biological
control methods.
