Avoid wastage of food, water, industrial and agricultural products. Also please remember what Gandhiji said, "The world has enough for everyone's need but not enough for everyone's greed"

2.  CONTINUOUS PROCESS
 COMPLICATED AND NOT FULLY
UNDERSTOOD
 FACTORS AFFECTING CLIMATE CHANGE ARE
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FORCING
MECHANISMS

3.  The Earth's surface temperature has risen by about
1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, with
accelerated warming during the past two decades.
There is new and stronger evidence that most of
the warming over the last 50 years is attributable
to human activities. Human activities have altered
the chemical composition of the atmosphere
through the buildup of greenhouse gases –
primarily carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous
oxide. The heat-trapping property of these gases is
undisputed although uncertainties exist about
exactly how earth's climate responds to them (US-
EPA). The reason, the temperature has risen so
much in the past 150 years is because of how much
more we have used fossil fuels, which gives off
carbon dioxide.

4.  According to NOAA, the global warming
rate in the last 25 years has risen to 3.6
degrees F per century, which tends to
confirm the predictions of temperature
increases made by international panels of
climate scientists (IPCC).”

22. Save Domestic and Rain Water
• Recycling
• RWH
• Preservation and creation of
Water bodies

23. Many other materials
• 10 litres or 2.6 gallons of water
cumulatively to produce one sheet
of A4 (8.5″ x 11″) paper.
• Chocolate requires 17,196 litres of
water need to produce 1kg of the
product.

24. Water requirements for production
• 75,000 gallons of water to produce one
ton of steel
• 24 gallons of water to make 1 pound of
another everyday material: plastic.
• 700 gallons of water for one new cotton
shirt.
• It takes at least twice as much water to
produce a plastic water bottle as the
amount of water in the water bottle

26. C & D WASTE
• Construction and Demolition (C & D) waste
is the waste generated from construction
or demolition activities of civil engineering
structures. Such waste is generated from;
• Roads,
• Footpaths,
• Buildings,
• Bridges,
• Flyovers,
• Dams, and
• Other similar civil engineering structures.

27. C & D WASTE
It consists mostly of inert and non-
biodegradable materials such as;
• Bricks, stones, aggregates,
• Concrete,
• Aluminium, steel,
• Tiles, ceramic materials
• Wood,
• Plastic,
• Electric wiring,
• Glass, and
• Many more similar materials. These waste
materials are mostly heavy having high density
compared to municipal waste.

61. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
 Sustainable development is mostly defined
as development that meets the needs of
the present without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet their
own needs (Brundtland Report). It contains
within it two key concepts:
 The concept of needs, in particular the
essential needs of the world's poor, to which
overriding priority should be given; and
 The idea of limitations imposed by the state
of technology and social organization on the
environment's ability to meet present and
future needs.

62. CONCLUSIONS
 FOLLOW THE APPROACH OF
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMET
 STOP WASTE
 DO NOT GENERATE WASTE
 USE WASTE AS RESOURCE
 TO AVOID EMISSION OF GREENHOUSE
GASES
 TO AVOID CLIMATE CHANGE
