INTRODUCTION
Every day number of trees disappears from the face of the earth.
When there are other ways of generating paper products, trees are still
being used largely. It’s high time now, that was stop this mean destruction,
before we forget the term green.
And what have we done to the trees in return have destroyed
almost 89% of the forest cover that the earth had in the 19th
century. The
remaining 11% too is under serious that of ruin. Here is a simple
experiment to show how green cover helps prevent soil erosion.
STEP-1:-
Take two trays with a one-inch opening on one of the sidewall.
Fill both with soil. Spread some lentil seeds on one and keep the other
bare. Keep moist.
STEP-2:-
After the lentils have sprouted and grown 3 or 4 inches in height,
place the two trays on the edge of the table and two containers below the
openings.
STEP-3:-
Pour two glasses of water at the farthest end of both the trays.
Observe the water flow across the tray and out of the opening into the
containers below.
STEP-4:-
Observe the water collected in both the container and see for
yourself from which tray more soil has been washed out.

SAVE OUR GREEN WORLD
SAVE WATER
Water crisis is one of the measure issues that the world is facing and
it is the responsibility, perhaps the duty of each one of us to contribute
towards water management. Intelligent utilisation of water resources is the
need of the hour.

4. 4
At first we can conserve our water in our home. There are some
responsibilities those we can look after to achieve this-
1- Use your water meter to check for hidden water leak.:-
Read the house water meter before and after a two hour period when
is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.
2- Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush:-
There is no need to keep the water running while brushing your teeth.
Just wet your brush and feel a glass for mouth rinsing.
3- Check faucets and pipes for leak.:-
A small drip from a worn faucet washer can waste twenty gallons of
water per day. Larger leaks can waste hundreds of gallons.
SAVE FUEL
Various fuel saving tips are :-
1-Avoide the car- when taking a small trip, choose to walk or cycle.
This reduces carbon emission and is also good for you.

5. 5
2-Use public transportation- It can prove cheaper and quicker to
leave the car at home and use to subway, bus or train. For every gallon of
gas unused, you prevent 1 pound of green house gas pollution.
3-Cheak yours tires- Fully inflated tires could save Americans four
million gallons of gas a day.
4-Drive slower & smoother- staying within the speed limit and
smoothly accelerating can save more than 25% of a vehicle’s typical
gasoline use.
Other general tips are-
1- Driving the speed limit.
2- Not accelerating too quickly.
3-Driving at one consistent speed instead of fluctuating speeds maintaining
the weight within the vehicle.
4- Reducing the weight the vehicle carries can increase gas mileage.
5- Not running the air conditioning when it is not necessary.

6. 6
SAVE FOREST
Simply we can say that forests are lungs of earth.
Not only do they purify the air we breathe, forests store carbon, help
in maintaining global climate as well as recharge our water sources.
Forests are therefore crucial for the survival of life on this earth!
Forests are home to some of the most unique plant and animal
species and support a diversity of life forms the loss of forests has pushed
many species to the brink of extinction.

7. 7
Forests are life support systems for the rural poor. Almost 90% of
the earth’s poverty ridden communities depend on the forest for food, fibre
and energy.
The best solution to increase our forest is plantation. We should
plant trees all our road sides, near river side, in our garden, in open areas
etc so that we can eradicate such problems.

8. 8
SAVE OZONE LAYER
When a
health issue
involves the health
of the planet,
people often feel
there is a little they
can do to change
the codes of events.
The depletion of
the earth is
protective ozone
layer is one of
these mega-issue.
While most of the measures needed to safeguard the ozone layer
involve nations and industries, there are significant steps you can take-as
an individual consumer and as a member of a society.
There’s good and bad ozone, depending on where it is, though both
are chemically identical-a gas formed when three atoms of oxygen, rather
than the normal two, bind together.

9. 9
The ozone found at ground level, a by-product of car and factory
pollution, is one of the more dangerous components of smog.
But in the earth’s stratosphere, about 10 to 25 miles above us, ozone
functions as a natural screen against the sun’s most damaging UV ray.
Unfortunately, the ozone that pollutes our air cannot reach the
stratosphere’s ozone layer.
PREVENT GLOBAL WORMING
The earth as an ecosystem is changing, attributable in great part to
the effect of globalization and man. More carbon dioxide is now in the
atmosphere than has been in the past 650,000 years. This carbon stays in
the atmosphere, act like a warm blanket and holds in the heat hence the
name “global warming.”

10. 10
The reason we exist on this planet is because the earth naturally
traps just enough heat in the atmosphere to keep the temperature within a
very narrow range – this creates the condition that gives us breathable air,
clean water, and the weather we depend on to survive. Human beings have
begun to tip that balance.
We have overloaded the atmosphere with heat trapping gases from
our cars and factories power plants. If we do not start fixing the problem,
we are in for devastating changes to our environment. We will experience
extreme temperatures, rises in sea levels, and storms of unimaginable
destructive fury. Recently, alarming events that are consistent with
scientific prediction about the events of climate change have become more
and more commonplace.
ACID RAIN
(PROCESS OF ACID RAIN)

11. 11
Rain is slightly acidic because it contains dissolved carbon dioxide,
SO2 and NO2 which are normally present in the air. Acid rain contains
more acidity than the normal value because of presence of acid ions due to
the dissolution of these gases present in higher concentration. Acid rain,
therefore, is the direct consequence of air pollution caused by gaseous
emissions from industrial sources, burning of fuels (thermal plants,
chimneys of brick-kilns or sugar mills.) and vehicular emission. It is not
necessary that acid rain will occur locally near the sources of air pollution.
Due to the movement of air, acid rain may occur for away from the source.
For instance, U.K. contributes 26% of the acidic sulphur deposited in the
Netherlands, 23% in Norway and 12% in Sweden. Acid emissions arise
naturally from volcanoes, forest fires and biological decomposition,
especially in the oceans. But their contribution to a acid rain are SO2, NO2
and to a lesser extent CO2 and HC1 gas. SO2 pollutions is mostly
contributed by thermal power plants, refineries industry and NO2 from
road transport, power stations and industry. The acid gas concentration in
the air will vary according to location, time and weather conditions.
EFFECT OF ACID RAIN:-
The most important effects are: damage to freshwater aquatic life,
damage of vegetation and damage to buildings and materials. It also
damages forest trees.

CONTROL POPULATION GROWTH
Population control is any methodology used to control the type,
location and number of people that inhabits the earth.
Public debate is strictly limited how ever to non-coercive means in
achieving any one of this goal, especially with regards to population
deduction. An important example of this would be allowing people the free
choice on procreative matters. By using various methodologies both
economic & administrative and educational to dissuade people from
having more children than needed, a stable population base can be created.
What kind of solution we can take to regulate population growth ???
The only socially and psychologically acceptable solution
available to policy makers when discussing reducing the world’s
population is education. While other methods are debated they are rarely
employed or even discussed with any real publicity. These include various
methods of taxation and other forms of financial disincentives. These
methods are important to note because barring success of the educational
solution track, the financial or administrative disincentives administrative

13. 13
will probably become more likely as a method of reducing populations.
However, this method is only really available where there is some degree
of wealth and a fairly well developed governmental institutions capable of
enforcing of regimen. These are the regions that are the primary target of
the so called population controlled agenda; remote, poor, economically
under developed regions of the world. Thus, if global policy makers are to
have any success in their war on population, other methods must be
employed.
AUTOMOBILE POLLUTION
During the last decade, automobile pollution has increased.
Automobile exhausts emit particular matter, unborn hydrocarbons, CO,
NO2 and some carcinogenic organic compounds like benzene and poly
aromatic hydrocarbons, having adverse health impact among the exposed
population.

14. 14
Various other factors like predominance of old outdated vehicles,
lack of maintenance, limited available road area, poor traffic management
and poor road conditions helped accentuate the level of automobiles
pollution.
Rapid increase in the number of vehicles is another reason for
increasing automobile pollution.
EGRICULTURE POLLUTION
 Some forms of agricultural pollution would be excess fertiliser run
off, polluting streams also polluting ground water.
 Pollution with some pesticides, some air pollution with dust, some
cases burning of field, and use of tractors and trucks. In some air
pollutions with order from feeding floors and large chicken houses.

15. 15
 while all of these things can be a problem in some areas, overall
agriculture pollution is much less than other industries on such a
great scale as agriculture
 On the positive side agriculture keeps large areas of land green and
growing plants for most of the year which use CO2 and produce O2
and improve the air.
 I like on a farm and am 100% in favour of agriculture but see that
we have some problems with pollution.
 Most farmers are doing all that they can to improve these problems,
but a pollution free environment is not possible if farmers are to
keep up the level of production required to feed our ever increasing
population on less and less land.
SOLAR ENERGY

16. 16
Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy. It does
not belong to anybody and is therefore free. It is also the important of the
non-conventional sources of energy because it is non-polluting and,
therefore, helps in lessening the greenhouse effect.
Solar energy has been used since prehistoric times, but in a most
primitive manner. Before 1970, some research and development was
carried out in a few countries to exploit solar energy more efficiently, but
most of this work remained mainly academic. After the dramatic rise in oil
prices in the 1970s, several countries began to formulate extensive
research and development programmes to exploit solar energy.
When we hang out clothes to dry in the sun, we use the energy of the
sun. In the same way, solar panels absorb the energy of the sun to provide
heat for cooking and for heating water. Such systems are available in the
market and are being used in homes and factories.

17. 17
CLEAN AIR
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or
biological material that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living
organisms, or damages the natural environment into the atmosphere.
Air pollution comes from many different sources such as factories,
power plants, dry cleaners, cars, buses, trucks and even windblown dust
and wildfires.
Air pollution can threaten the health of human beings, trees, lakes,
crops, and animals, as well as damage the ozone layer and buildings.
Air pollution also can cause haze, reducing visibility in national parks
and wilderness areas.
