28th May is International Menstrual Hygiene Day. It's common for sanitary product brands to take this opportunity to promote disposable sanitary pads and tampons. We want women to take a step back and understand the impact of these disposables on the environment and understand about reusable alternatives before choosing. This presentation seeks to address two issues in India. Breaking the Taboo about Menstruation and educating people about sustainable menstrual products - reusable menstrual cups and reusable cloth pads.
This document discusses small individual actions that can help the environment, such as bringing reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers instead of accepting disposable containers. It notes that this reduces waste and saves restaurants money on disposable items. While not a perfect solution, if many individuals adopt these small changes it can make a meaningful impact on reducing waste. The document advocates for restaurants offering incentives like discounts for customers who use reusable containers to further encourage more sustainable behaviors.
The document discusses the history of diapering and the rise of disposable diapers. It notes that cloth diapers were traditionally used for centuries, with disposable diapers gaining popularity after World War II. The document then discusses some myths and health concerns around disposable diapers, noting they contain chemicals that can be harmful. It introduces modern cloth diapers as a safer alternative that is washable and reusable while still providing convenience. General guidelines are provided for proper use and care of modern cloth diapers.

This document discusses the benefits of using reusable bags and provides statistics about plastic bag usage and its environmental impacts. It notes that using reusable bags over a lifetime can remove over 22,000 plastic bags from the environment. Plastic bags take 15-1000 years to break down and kill 100,000 marine animals annually. The document encourages readers to start using one reusable bag to help reduce plastic bag usage and environmental harm.
The document provides tips and suggestions for making environmentally-friendly choices in daily life. It suggests starting with small, easy changes and working up to more significant actions over time. Examples include choosing organic and locally-grown food, using non-toxic cleaners, reducing waste and emissions by walking, biking or carpooling, volunteering with environmental groups, and educating children about nature. The document emphasizes that substantial change happens gradually through consistent small steps.
The document discusses how seeking pleasure, or hedonism, is a major motivator for consumer purchases, including sustainable purchases. It argues that promoting sustainability solely based on moral or environmental benefits will not be as effective as appealing to consumers' desire for pleasure and economic benefits. Effective strategies include making sustainable options convenient, affordable, and able to provide feelings of satisfaction and cost-savings to consumers. The key is to teach consumers about product benefits rather than using guilt or moral arguments.
Want to reduce food waste, save money, help prevent environmental racism, save the environment, and educate yourself and those around you? Throwing away food means you’re throwing away money. Instead, why don’t you just reuse what you can?
This presentation was the basis of a talk given at St. Ursula School in Pune on Menstrual Hygiene Management to an audience of 9th and 10th grade students.
Organic Baby Products are important for several reasons. Babies are very susceptible to pesticides and other toxins contained in inorganic products. Choosing organic clothing/apparel, bedding, furniture, diapers and even toys can help ensure the health and safety of your baby. By creating a non-toxic environment for your baby, you help reduce early exposure to chemicals and heavy metals which can have negative long-term effects on your baby's growth and development. By choosing organic products, you are not only creating a healthier environment for your baby, but for your entire family and future generations.
This document provides frequently asked questions and answers about proper waste disposal and categorization. It explains that dry waste like empty food packets and containers should be thoroughly cleaned and can be disposed of in dry waste bags, while old clothes and furniture may be donated, recycled, or disposed of as debris depending on their condition. Hazardous wastes like e-waste, chemicals, and biomedical materials require special handling and disposal to the local waste management authority.
The document provides tips for reducing waste and being more environmentally friendly in various situations:
- Bring reusable containers and bags for take-out food and shopping to avoid plastic waste.
- Sort garbage for easier recycling and arrange regular pickup days.
- Use humane traps, hire services, or natural repellents like peppermint oil to safely remove rodents rather than poison.
- Replace single-use paper products with reusable cloth towels, napkins and rags to reduce trash.
- Buy refill packs or reuse bottles to produce less plastic waste from household products.
- Conserve energy by hand washing clothes or running the washer at off-peak hours, and rewearing items
The document discusses several topics related to sustainability and our environment:
- It notes that all ecosystems are interdependent and that environmental problems stem from a lack of balance and harmony with nature's cycles.
- It provides a brief history of garbage, noting that historically resources were reused more while today excessive consumption harms the environment.
- It discusses the importance of respecting nature, establishing resource use standards, and conducting lifecycle analyses to reduce waste and promote ecological practices.
- Achieving a balance in life's cycles and harmony with the environment is key to a sustainable future for humanity.
World Health Day was organized by the Department of Community Medicine and NZ-IAPSM on April 7th, 2012 in Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. The event focused on promoting the importance of handwashing through various activities like poster competitions, slogan competitions, quizzes, and hands-on training. Speakers emphasized that regular handwashing with soap can reduce the risk of diarrhea by 45% and respiratory infections by 30%, and is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of disease. Proper handwashing involves washing hands for 15-30 seconds with soap and water, paying attention to all surfaces of the hands.
Personal hygiene involves keeping our bodies clean through practices like brushing teeth twice a day, washing hands regularly especially before eating and after using the bathroom, bathing daily, wearing clean clothes, and properly disposing of tissues when sick to prevent spreading germs. During puberty, hormones cause increased sweat and oil production, making regular bathing more important for hygiene. Maintaining good personal hygiene through various cleaning routines promotes health and well-being.
The document introduces Ezywipe, a leading manufacturer of compressed towels made from 100% rayon that are eco-friendly, biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and reusable. Ezywipe offers a wide range of compressed towel sizes and products for various uses including travel, home, restaurants, beauty salons, and more. The towels are advertised as a more sustainable alternative to paper towels and provide benefits such as cost savings and branding opportunities for businesses.
Menstrual cups are reusable feminine hygiene products made of medical-grade silicone or other materials that are inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluid. They form a seal to prevent leaks and can be worn for up to 12 hours. Menstrual cups are more eco-friendly and cost-effective than disposable pads and tampons. While removal can be messy and fitting takes trial and error, menstrual cups have been improved over decades and provide benefits like reduced odor and freedom of movement during periods. Future innovations could explore biodegradable materials and design improvements for easier insertion and removal.
The document discusses the concept of sustainable living and ecological footprints. It notes that human lifestyles and consumption patterns are negatively impacting the environment. However, making sustainable choices in our daily lives, such as reducing waste and emissions, can help minimize this impact. It then provides a quiz to calculate an individual's ecological footprint based on lifestyle habits and identifies areas where changes could lower one's footprint.
The document provides information about greening your home and lifestyle. It discusses eliminating plastic grocery bags, bringing reusable bags when shopping, and choosing eco-friendly products in various areas of the home like the kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. These include organic and recycled goods, green cleaners and air fresheners, and rechargeable batteries. It encourages reducing waste by recycling and reusing more. It also summarizes Whole Foods Market's green initiatives like purchasing renewable energy and composting programs across stores.
This document provides information about proper hygiene practices like brushing teeth, washing hands, and bathing. It discusses recommended frequencies for brushing teeth and washing hands to promote oral and overall health. Interactive elements quiz the reader on proper techniques and times for these hygiene activities. Safety tips are also included, such as being careful when exiting the bath. The conclusion reflects on how a document like this can creatively teach children about important hygiene habits.
This document discusses environmentalism and the role of environmentalists. It begins by asking about professions and defining an environmentalist as someone who seeks to improve and protect the natural environment from harmful human activities. Environmentalists are described as caretakers of the environment. The document then discusses the importance of the natural environment by providing examples of benefits that humans and animals receive from plants, animals, air, and water. Specifically, it notes we receive food, clothing, oxygen, medicines, paper, and more from plants and animals. To conclude, the document states that environmentalists protect, preserve, and conserve natural resources through managing waste, educating others, and activities like afforestation. Their goal is to prevent a world without clean air

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
