A beautiful garden enlightens both our eyes and our soul, its a direct way to get connected with mother nature. Who doesn’t love to see a tree in full bloom, enjoy the touch of soft grass under our feet and inhale the sweet smell of all the flowers around?

By increasing population day by day and the increase in technology products, our mother planet is in trouble . But she can be saved if we accept to embrace the healthier green life in our daily culture. If we start to reduce pollution, plant more trees, reduce the use of plastic and recycling the waste, we can make the world a better place to live. With a very small effort in our part we can lend a hand to make green earth.

A few simple measures which we can take in making green earth are print less and save more trees, lets say no to plastic bags and use recycled paper bags, considering electric and hybrid cars rather that choosing petrol cars, start creating our own fertilizers than using chemical pesticides which in turn destroys soil.

From 1970, Every year on April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day which promote healthy environment and to keep earth green. But how many of we really put effort to celebrate and understand the importance of this day? if we think about the advantages of the green earth will we not enjoy celebrating this day? Greening the environment will mean more plants and trees to give shade and provide fresh sources of oxygen. We can walk with leisure, ride our bikes, and have less demand for carbon dioxide emitting vehicles that contribute the most harm to our ozone layers. The best part of all is we can save more money because “green” products cost less.

It’s better if we take the positive approach. Love our Mother Earth. It’s our home and loving it will bring more results. If we do our part out of love, then we will feel great about ourselves. With a positive outlook and actions, no doubt we will soon get a green Earth.

Please join the green revolution and decide to buy only products made from reusable resources. If we all just do our part and respect the earth we will be saving it.

Green is no longer an option. It’s the only way forward…Save the Earth

Recently, American scientists tracked 9 leatherback turtles. This process of tracking lasted 695 days and was across the Pacific Ocean over 20,000 kilometers.

American Ocean and Atmosphere Administration (AOAA) was responsible for this project. Peter Dutton, a scientist from AOAA, said, “These turtles are a kind of marvelous animal. We haven’t yet learned much knowledge about them.” Sea turtles like leatherback turtle are the animals that are hard to track, because it is difficult to find them in oceans. And sea turtles can be said to lonely travelers. They often dive a few kilometers in ocean. There are few chances for them to float on water to breath. Scientists have always wanted to learn more about the lives of sea turtles. In the past, many scientists have send ships and aircraft to search the hiding places for sea turtles.

A scientist said, “Sea turtle is a kind of species that is hard to find.” Many scientists have even not seen them. In order to understand them, the scientists have successfully installed satellite transmitters on 9 leatherback turtles which are in the Pacific area. During the 695 days’ tracking, the 9 turtles traversed the Pacific Ocean from Papua New Guinea to Indonesia, Hawaii, and finally arrived at the seashore in Oregon. They stayed there to enjoy jellyfish’s meal. And then, they returned to Hawaii. That concludes the whole tracking. In the 695 days, the longest-swimming distance of these turtles is 20,570 kilometers. Sometimes, it can swim 56.4 kilometer a day. It is an amazing animal indeed.

Sea turtle is considered a threat to the creature in the Atlantic and Pacific coast of the United States. People in some tropical countries caught them when they came ashore to lay eggs, and some fishing boats mistakenly captured them. Therefore, the turtle’s number in Pacific area has decreased by 95%.

There was a year when my life was especially troubled, and I began to walk a nature trail each day. I walked many miles, for my health supposedly, but in reality I went to think out all the thoughts that troubled my head and to find a little peace. That path became healing to me.

For some reason I walked the same path every day. There were other paths and directions I could have taken, but I chose instead to always walk to one particular spot and back again, about six or seven miles. This path taught me more about nature than I had learned before in my whole life. I’m sure there are many naturalists who learn by traveling the world and seeing different environments, but for me it was for the very reason my path was always the same that I learned so much.

You see, no matter how inclement the weather, I walked. One day I was far away when a sudden, serious, storm rolled in and I looked up to see a funnel cloud above me. I took shelter in a ditch under an old train bridge but I still got soaked to the skin because the wind blew the rain under it in sheets. I also walked on beastly hot late summer days and in winter when I had to break a path through a foot of snow. I was stubborn and would go out every day and I started to like all weather. This is how I learned the subtleties of the changing seasons and the habits and cycles of the animals and plants.

That same path, day after day, monotonous at first: same trees, same plants. But then I started noting little changes. If I had not walked the same path, I don’t think I’d ever have noticed that when tree leaves fall face up the rain spreads on them, but when they fall face down, it beads. Or that the last week of May is when the first lightning bugs come out. In June I see the first green dragonflies. The thistle doesn’t bloom until late July. In September I can pick wild apples and listen to the Canada Geese honk as they fly overhead. I got better at spotting animals, too. I learned which times of day they come out, and where to look and how to be still. At first I saw the easy ones: a rabbit or two, sometimes a ground hog. But then I learned certain sunny days bring the hawks out to spiral on thermals high in the sky in wingless flight, and that the bluebirds like the edges between forest and meadow to build their nests, that in winter the rabbits always come out in the first hour of snow fall, and even where fox are likely to come out at the beginning of night.

Flooding presents a series of potential hazards. When people decide to volunteer to help in a Water Damage flood ravaged city they face the possibility of encountering several unpleasant and dangerous issues that are brought about by the flooding. The water purification and sewage systems in the affected area are likely to be disrupted, leaving no clean water to drink or a way to flush bodily waste. The flood water will contain filth from the sewage system. Flood waters will mix with toxins from overflowing toxic waste sites and with chemicals that were stored in barrels above ground. Volunteers helping to cleanup a flood ravaged area can be exposed to these problems resulting in serious illness or chemical poisoning. Volunteers should also be careful to avoid areas near downed electrical lines because these present a possible fire or electrocution hazard.

Anyone who works near or with flood waters should be aware that the water will contain bacteria such as shigella, E. coli, salmonella, hepatitis A virus, agents of typhoid, paratyphoid, and tetanus. Even though these sicknesses are caused by different pathogens they have similar symptoms when they take hold in a person’s body. Fever, muscle aches, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea are signs that you are coming down with one of these waterborne diseases. These diseases are brought on by eating contaminated food or drinking dirty water. Tetanus is an infectious disease that is gotten by exposure of contaminated flood water to an open cut or puncture wound. This can be quite serious or even fatal. For this reason it is imperative that anyone who volunteers to clean up after a flood has gotten a current tetanus vaccination.

Flood water is often contaminated with hazardous waste and pesticides or industrial chemicals. These can poison the volunteers that come into contact with the water polluted by thewater damage. Some of the symptoms of chemical poisoning include fatigue, weakness, headache, skin rashes dizziness, excitability, and nausea. Be especially aware of the possibility of getting chemical poisoning if you are doing clean up near an industrial site. Always wear protective clothing, rubber gloves, boots, goggles, and respirator when working around flood waters. Be even more vigilant about these precautions when working near an industrial site.

Remember that standing water will breed insects, especially mosquitoes. Mosquitoes raise the risk of infecting people with West Nile, encephalitis, or malaria. Stay away from wild animals and snakes as best as you can to avoid being bitten. If any of these things do happen seek medical help immediately.

There are some things you can do to lessen the risk being infected with these unwanted problems. Wash hands with soap and clean water often. Don’t drink any water that isn’t bottled or disinfected. Do not eat any food that has been in contact with the polluted water. Be sure you have a current tetanus shot. Wear protective clothing and insect repellent. Be especially careful to avoid contamination from chemical if you are anywhere near an industrial site or hazardous waste dump site.
