Water Is Life

Water covers three-forth of the surface of the earth. Yet only 1% of it is usable. Approximately 97% of the water is salty sea water and 2% of it is frozen in the form of glaciers and ice caps. This makes that 1% a precious commodity that is necessary for our survival. A man dies faster without water than without food. Thus it is duty of every individual to save water and prevent its wastage. Running taps, flowing tanks etc, should be avoided. Save water for next generation.

Facts About Recycling

• Glass is 100% recyclable and can be used more than once.
• Aluminium cans if recycled can be ready to use in just 6 weeks.
• It takes 24 trees to make 1 ton of newspaper.
• Approximately 50% of waste in the average dustbin could be composted.
• Plastic could take up to 500 years to decompose.
• The energy we save by recycling one glass bottle is enough to light a light bulb for four hours.
• Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures a year.
• Every ton of paper that is recycled saves 17 trees.

Recycling prevents habitat destruction, and saves our atmosphere with many other hazards.

What We Do Effects Them

Earth is the only planet that supports life at the moment. The beauty of this planet is enhanced by forests, oceans, deserts, mountains, lakes, ponds, tropical rainforests etc. But humans are destroying the delicacy and slenderness of these beautiful elements. We are cutting down the forests, building cities on every dry piece of land, spilling oils in the oceans etc. In this way we are also destroying the habitant of many of the tiny creatures that have found shelter in such places.

Endangered Sea Life

According to a study, the tropical reefs of the world are at a risk of being destroyed till the end of the century because of the rising ratio of acid in oceans. This is due to increase in the man-made carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide in air dissolves in the sea water and forms carbonic acid. This disturbs the ability of coral organisms to make their calcium carbonate shells which form coral reefs.
People themselves are imposing threat to these fragile reefs. Tourists collect coral reefs as souvenirs by either directly breaking a piece or buying it in a tourist shop. Sewage, fertilizers and pesticides often run down into the sea. As coral reefs are close to the shore, they are exposed to these polluted materials.

Oil Spills Do Deep Damage

Oil spill is an accidental petroleum release into the atmosphere. On land, it is usually localized and its impact can be controlled easily. But in sea, its effects are very dangerous and it can result in serious water pollution. Source of oil spill are mainly the transportation of oil through sea route.
This sort of accidents can prove fatal for marine life as many of the fish dies due to polluted water.

Maldives Is Drowning

Maldives is one meter or less above the sea level, which makes it the lowest country of the world. Rising sea level and green house emission can displace the land. But Maldives isn't the first one to be displaced from its place. Many of the residents of Bangladesh's Bhola Island lost their homes due to rising sea level. In 2005, the 1600 residents of Papua New Guinea Carteret Island began to evacuate because of the same reason. Muhammad Nasheed, president of Maldives, is taking necessary steps to tackle this situation. he is looking for the land in India or Srilanka as the customs and traditions of the nations are quite similar. He is also considering Australia which have some spare land.
