Need to be alarmed? #globalwarming is getting acute by the day and is affecting all, across geographies, regions and continents. Floods, heatwaves and snowstorms are becoming normal. #weather fluctuations and uncertainties are getting more regular.
#clinatecrisis is a challenge that’s universal. Hence, calls for a globalised movement where every person at every place contributes everyday through individual and community level actions to arrest it.
Let’s start by listing what we can do at our level. What is that one thing you are willing to do to lessen this #climatechange challenge?

#earthhour celebrated every year on March 25, is a global collective movement to claim back some of the losses Earth in general faces due to urbanisation and modernization. The tradition is to switch off all unnecessary lights at homes and offices for an hour between 8:30 and 9:30 pm to conserve energy and heat that emanates from #lightpollution in major cities.
Going by this year’s theme, #investinourplanet , there’s an implication to look beyond that dedicated hour to something positive for the planet that we live in and would one day leave it for the next generation to grow in.
So, what is that one action that you are thinking of adopting as a habit this year? Anything that will help conserve our resources for our next generation? Share it with the #climatora community.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Proven once again when one learns about @amgokarn from @proeartheco .
This episode`s climate champion, an automobile engineer turned #wastemanagement entrepreneur, elicits a lot of admiration for what he and his team have built in such a short period of time. And the numbers speak for themselves. From wet to dry to e-waste and garden waste, the Pro Earth team has so far contributed to stopping approximately 20 MT of waste from the city of #Pune from reaching the landfills. Some very interesting collaborations have helped them spread awareness, which has resulted in tangible actionables.
If you are a residential society, corporate or an institution looking at a #zerowaste living concept, they are the team to connect with. Learn more about them at https://bit.ly/42zuvkH.

On this #worldwaterday, our commitment to changing how we and our family uses, consumes, and manages water should take centre stage as the world reels under acute drinking water and sanitation problems that are only set to aggravate further due to #climatechange .
This needs each and every one of us to act, as it impacts us all. What are the three easy-to-do actions that, according to you, can help us #AccelerateChange, the theme for this year`s celebrations across the globe?
Some that we thought of listing for you are:
- Take shorter showers.
- Fix leaking taps.
- Stop polluting water bodies.

#internationaldayofforests is a day to remind us of the unique role that forests play in our daily lives and livelihoods. Sharing a dual connection as the one most affected by #climatechange as also the one helping arrest climate crisis to a great extent, the forests are by far the best #carbonsinks available naturally.
The day, 21st March is also celebrated as #worldplantingday and #worldwoodday , all of which allude to the importance of dense plantations for our survival.
With this year’s theme of #forestsandhealth , the message of safeguarding this precious natural resource is being emphasized with an eye toward its health benefits. It’s time for us to give back to the forests rather than take them away.

Australia has decided to take a stand against the construction of a new coal mine close to the #greatbarrierreef , a UNESCO heritage site, which is seen as a significant victory for the #environment .
Ten million tonnes of coal would have been extracted annually through the project`s two open-cut pits. Twenty years of operation were anticipated.
The decision was made following a public poll in which 98% of respondents voiced opposition to the mine`s development.

Every year on March 18, #globalrecyclingday♻️ is commemorated to raise awareness of the value of recycling as a resource rather than a waste. The goal of the day is to persuade world leaders that recycling must be a universal concern and to inspire people to be resourceful and not squander when it comes to the things that are all around us.
The Global Recycling Foundation, founded in 2018 by #RanjitBaxi, who is also the creator of International Recycling Ltd., a multinational company that exports waste materials from Europe and the United States for recycling into new products in Asia, developed Global Recycling Day. It is a day set aside to increase public awareness of the role recycling plays in protecting our planet`s future and its basic resources.
Would you like to begin your recycling routine right away? Make a list of the items that can be recycled in your home as the first step. And consider whether they can be converted into something you`ve been wanting to purchase. Would you, for instance, wish to convert old, discarded bottles into planters to bring a touch of greenery to your surroundings? There may be numerous such things.

Throughout the course of their lengthy lives, #whales collect carbon in their bodies. As a great whale dies, it sinks to the bottom of the ocean. On average, each one sequesters 33 tonnes of CO2, removing that carbon from the atmosphere for centuries. A tree, on the other hand, can only absorb up to 48 pounds of CO2 annually.
Moreover, the faeces from whales contains the elements that are essential for #phytoplankton to develop, especially iron and nitrogen. Whys is that important? Because, phytoplankton not only absorb roughly 37 billion metric tonnes of CO2, or about 40% of all CO2 created, but also contribute at least 50% of all the oxygen in our atmosphere. This is equivalent to 70 times the amount of CO2 absorbed by all the trees in the US Redwood National and State Parks annually, or 1.70 trillion trees, the size of four Amazon forests, to put things in context. More #carboncapture results from increased phytoplankton.
Isn`t that amazing? The possibility of unintended harm from suggested untested high-tech cures is likewise avoided by using this "earth-tech" method of #carbonsequestration. Nature`s whale-based carbon sink technology has had millions of years to develop. We only need to let the whales to survive.

On the #internationaldayofactionforrivers , here`s a short video that serves as a reminder of the importance of rivers in the #climate and #sustainability space.
Lifeline for an agriculture-dominated region, it serves as a barrier for lots of #climatechange effects to take place while bearing the brunt of unplanned industrialization and urbanization. It`s high time we reciprocate and give it its rights - the rights equivalent to legal personhood status, as per this year`s observance theme for the day. Not a tall ask, especially when our lives and livelihoods are dependent on its safe existence.
Okay, so what can we do? A simple task - identify a river flowing in your locality or its vicinity and ensure that you build a local #community group that can work towards its upkeep. Doable? Try out!

The first step to taking any action is being educated about it. Nothing different for #climateaction . Even @unitednations has called for compulsory #climateeducation in schools and colleges by 2025 to help people cope with #climatechange effectively and with less #climateanxiety .
Climate change calls for #climateresilience and #ClimateAdaptation , both of which would have to fall back on informed decisions on the part of the affected. Hence, the need to be educated. Not only that, with the #climatechallenges looming in front of us and the #netzero goals chased by companies, a significant part of the skills of the future would be linked to climate and its study. #climatora `s blog delves precisely into this and the ways to achieve it.

#plasticpollution is becoming a global problem and poses an increasing threat to our environment. It is estimated that more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been created worldwide, with just 9% of it being #recycled . Plastic takes hundreds of years to degrade.
Our oceans, waterways, and land have all become contaminated as a result of poor plastic garbage disposal. As a result of this pollution, animals may become entangled in it or mistake it for food, which may cause harm or even death. Additionally, hazardous compounds that seep from plastic and enter the food chain may have detrimental effects on human health.
Reducing the manufacture and consumption of single-use plastics, enhancing waste management infrastructure, and encouraging sustainable consumer behavior are all necessary components of a multifaceted strategy to reduce plastic pollution. To address this challenge and save our planet for future generations, governments, corporations, and individuals must all play a part.
Let`s start with ourselves. One person at a time. Even if you don’t belong to any of the countries mentioned among the top polluters, remember, it’s is a global menace and will affect all. By the way, if you guessed China, that would be the correct answer.

If every business took responsibility for its whole of life use of materials,
If every human was a conscious consumer,
We wouldn’t see this…
