HOW MUCH IS YOUR SHARE OF LAND??

To calculate this we need to know some figures about the Earth. It has a surface area of 51 billion ha of which 36.3 billion ha is sea and 14.7 billion ha is land. Of the total land area only 8.3 billion ha is biologically productive. The remaining is either covered by ice or has unsuitable soils or lack of water.

Considering the current human population and the total land area there comes less than 2 ha of land per person. This is the per capita ecological capacity of the world as such. It will vary from country to country depending on the population and the goegraphical area of that country. Do not forget that while calculating this figure we have not left any land for the use of other animal and plant species existing on this Earth. JUST THINK!!!

A WORLD THROUGH MY EYES.

In future, when there will be not enough water availabe for the large
population then water toffees will be used to provide water to the
people in shops, railway stations, airports, etc.

One day the babies will have to think whether they should come to the Earth
or not. Will there be any resources available for their survival???

EXACT COPIES:-)

Just imagine- one day you wake up from your sleep and see yourself sleeping next to you- some of you might think that it'd be cool and some might get chills....

So this is what my article's about-CLONES:-)

Cloning is the production of an exact copy of any organism, a part of it or a cell. To maKe it much easier for you to understand let's take it this way- when a student cheats from his friend's answersheet in the exam, his answer's are a perfect match of his friend's.

SO CLONING IS - MAKING EXACT COPIES....

Now, the world has developed so much with the world's geniuses working out the solution to any problem or question, that everything is possible.

Coming back to the topic of cloning, till now cloning of animals has been possible. On 5th July 1996, Dolly the first mammal to be cloned was born. She was a clone of a Finn Dorsett sheep. She was cloned by Ian Wlmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scottland.

A cell was collected from the mammary gland of a female Finn Dorsett. Simultaneously, an egg was obtained from a Scottish Blackface Ewe. The nucleus was removed from the egg and the cell was inserted. Then the egg was implanted into the Scottish Blackface Ewe. Development of this followed and Dolly was born.

Now, if anyone of you pet lovers cannot bear to part from your dear pets(after their deaths) then you can easily opt for cloning of your pet . This way your beloved pets would be on your side forever and always.

Cloning humans, it is not yet possible ,but all the ones who want to clone yourselves or any of your beloved ones don't be disheartened because in this world NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. I AM SURE THAT IN THE COMING YEARS PREPARING CLONES OF HUMANS WOULD BE 100% POSSIBLE...

Who knows after five years or so you might be found hanging around with your CLONE!!! :-)

POPULATION AND WILDLIFE.

The world population is growing by more than 90 million per year, of which 93% is in developing countries. In the past, population growth was slow but in the recent past it has becoming alarming. So, the Earth is becoming small for the large population. The growing population is also affecting the environment and wildlife to a large extent. With the urban expansions all types of vegetation becomes the first victims and the wild life is exposed to various threats. Human beings procure the forest land for building houses, industries and agriculture. By doing this, humans affect the wildlife found in that area. The ecological balances gets disturbed. It creates many difficulties for the animals. They go out to the cities in search of food. There are many instances when these displaced creatures conflict with the human settlements. Many animals and birds die. Like this, many animals and bird species became extinct. The wildlife is very important us. The wildlife is like jewellary of the Earth. It decorates the Earth with its beauty. If we don't handle it with love and care then it will vanish from our Earth. If every individual becomes eco-conscious, the burden on Earth will reduce tremendously and we all will have a good time ahead.

21st century,years of junk food

21st century is the world of rapid modernisation. Both young and adults are all entirely wrapped up with their jobs and carriers. People are so busy in this fast competitive world that they have no time for home cooking and prefer readymade junk food.
Be it for the young or for the old, junk food is bad for all- it takes away the zero size figures. tanned bodies, shiny hair and clear skins from the youngsters and leaves the oldies with weak bodies and bad teeth.
Eating fast food in moderation is acceptable but eating vegetables and fresh food should always be one's no. 1 priority in life no matter how busy he/she may be because at the end of the day no one wishes to spend their precious time sitting around in a hospital.
WE LIVE LIFE FOR ONCE!!!! so we must look after it and try to make it JUNK FREE and HEALTHY.
But i think that this 21st century is going to debunk the popular myth of health hazard of junk food. Great minds have started to think about inventions annd discoveries on tasty ready-to- make and ofcourse healthy alternative to junk food. Besides that ,other fascinating things that has been done, is the invention of the "ARTIFICIAL LIVER" by "Kennith Matsumura" and "Alin foundation" and the " ARTIFICIAL HEART" i.e the ABIOCOR HEART.
Now people can have as much as junk food without having any worries . Even if their heart stops pumping and liver stops functioning then still they'll have their artificialheart and liver to survive with. isn't that great!!!!
The inventions of the 21st century will no doubt will continue to give us things that we need in order to thrive. It will be interesting to see where the new agent technology that we are now living in will take us!!!!

ARE HUMAN EMOTIONS CHANGING??

Lack of love and care. Old people residing in old age
homes instead living with their grown up children.

Change of human emotions. Earlier people used to take

care of each other but now nobody has time for others.

IMAGINING A FUTURE WORLD.

A WORLD FULL OF VEHICLES, SMOKE, DUST,
PEOPLE BUT A WORLD EMPTY WITH GREENERY.


COMPETITION FOR OCCUPYING SPACES.

When we will open our eyes tommorw, will we get to see a world like this? Yes, if like this the population increases then of course one day we will get to see all these. But there is saying that 'IF THERE IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY'. So, I think if all of us become aware about the consequences then surely we can imagine all world of beauty and peace.

THE WAR OF INVENTIONS

THE 21^ST CENTURY IS THE CENTURY OF THE INNOVATION AND INVENTIONS . WITH THE INCREASING POPULATION THE COMPETETION INCREASES.AND TO SURVIVE IN THIS DOGFIGHT EVERYDAY NEW INVENTIONS OR INNOVATIONS ARE BEING MADE.

IN THE COMING YEARS PEOPLE CAYYING OXYGEN CYLINDERS FOR OXYGEN WILL BECOME A COMMON SIGHT.

THE COMING YEARS WILL ALSO WITNESS NEW INVENTIONS LIKE THE WATER PILL . IF YOU ARE FEELING THIRSTY JUST POP THIS PILL IN YOUR MOUTH AND YOUR THIRST GOES !THEN WILL COME THE FOOD PILL AND THEN THE COMPLETE MEAL PILL.

INNOVATIONS SUCH AS CARS BEING ABLE TO FLY LIKE AEROPLANES WILL ALSO BECOME COMMON. THERES A HEAVY TRAFFIC AND YOU HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL IN FIVE MINUTES:YOUR BUS SOARS INTO THE SKY AND YOU RAE IN SCHOOL JUST IN TIME.

THE 21^ST WILL THUS GRADUALLY WITNESS ALL THESE INNOVATIONS AND INVENTIONS BECAUSE WITHOUT THESE LIFE ON EARTH IS SOON GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE.

THE GANGA ACTION PLAN PART IV

I HAD DISSUCUSSED THE TOPIC OF INDUSTRIES ON RELEASING UNTREATED WASTAGE INTO THE WATERS OF THE GANGA .

FOR EXAMPLE THE CITY OF KANPUR;

IT IS A SMALL CITY BY THE BANKS OF THE GANGA.IT HAS MORE THAN 5000 INDUSTRIES WHICH PRODUCE DIFFERENT ITEMS SUCH AS LEATHER PRODUCTS,CHEMICAL PAINTS,FANS MOTORS,BALL BEARINGS,ETC.

THESE INDUSTRIES RELEASE UNTREATED WASTAGE,LIKE CHEMICAL PAINTS OR HOT WATER IN THE RIVER.

HOT WATER IS CONSIDERED TO BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT ADVERSELY EFFECTS THE AQUATIC LIFE IN THE RIVER AS IT SUDDENLY CAUSES A RISE IN THE TEMPERATURE OF THE WATER.THIS DOES NOT ENABLE AQUATIC LIFE TO ADAPT QUICKLY AND MOST OF THE AQUATIC ANIMALS DIE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO ADAPT QUICKLY.

CHEMICAL PAINTS OR REMAINS OF CHEMAICAL PAINTS TOO ARE DANGEROUS AS IT CHANGES THE COMPOSITION OF THE WATER.

ACTUALLY MOST INDUSTRIES CONTAMINATE THE ENVIRONMENT.

THE GANGA ACTION PLAN PART III

THE GANGA ACTION PLAN LAUNCHED IN 1985 WASNOT HUGELY SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE STILL BATHED IN IT’S WATERS AND DID NOT STOP WASHING CLOTHES OR DEFECATING IN THE RIVER.TILL NOW IDOLS OF GODS AND GODDESSES ARE IMMERSED IN WATER.THIS IDOLS CONTAIN CHEMICAL PAINTS WHICH DISSOLVES IN THE WATER TO MAKE IT ACIDIC.PEOPLE DROWN OR SOMETIMES DEAD BODIES ARE THROWN IN THE WATER WHICH FURTHER POLLUTE THE RIVER.REMAINS OF DEAD ANIMALS TOO ARE THROWN IN THIS RIVER AND GARBAGE TOO IS THROWN HERE.

INDUSTRIES ALONG IT’S BANKS RELEASE UNTREATED WASTAGE OR SEWERAGE INTO IT.

THE GANGA ACTION PLAN PART II

THE GANGA ACTION PLAN WAS LAUNCHED IN 1985 IT AIMED TO REDUCE THE POLLUTION AND REVIVE THE RIVER. IT ALSO AIMED TO BRING BACK IT’S PAST GLORY. BUT, THIS PLAN WAS NOT HUGELY SUCCESSFUL BUT TO SOME EXTENT IT REDUCED POLLUTION IN THE RIVER.

HANDFUL OF RESOURCES.

Hey, we are all looking at how the population around is increasing. How people are occupying the spaces. But have we ever thought that what will happen to our future generations,how will they survive. We all think about ourselves. The world is filled up with people. People are using up all the resources without thinking that will these resources remain for their children tomorrow. They are just using the resources but giving back anything in return. People are polluting the rivers, air and soil, cutting trees, clearing up the forests. If they continue to do like this then what will remain for our future? Will we all one day have to live in the jungles of concrete?
THE NATURE OF HUMANS TODAY WILL DECIDE THE NATURE OF THE EARTH TOMORROW.

THE GANGA ACTION PLAN PART I

All of us know about the Ganga river which originates from the Gangotri Glacier.

Supposed to be one of the holiest rivers in the world and in India. the ganga originates from the Gangotri glacier in the Himalayas. and the places through which it flows is supposed to be holy too. Like Hrishikesh and Haridwar. People believe that a dip or a bath in it’s holy waters will once again make them pure.

Whenever someone goes to places like Haridwar and Hrishikesh they never forget to bring a bottle of Gangajal(holy water of the Ganga)back home with them.

A few drops of Gangajal is supposed to purify any object. but, because of people bathing, washing clothes, immersing idols, throwing dead remains of animals, etc. it has lost it’s past glory. In many areas it is dead.

Now,

What is a dead river?

When people start bathing, defecating, in the water gradually Algae starts growing on it’s surface and this Algae takes in oxygen dissolved in the water. Gradually due to lack of oxygen the aquatic animals starts to die then the algae too because there is then no oxygen left in the water. when this happens the river is declared DEAD

Population may help the population to survive.

We all believe that population is a curse on us because it increases competitions among ourselves. We think that if the population keeps on increasing like this, we will have to fight more to make our name and fame. We believe that population growth will only create bad effects for us. We believe that in future we will have to fight for land, water, food, and even for our dignity. This all will lead to inequality amongst us. These all thoughts keeps moving in our mind, but we never think that population may help the population to survive.

Population may lead to rise of inventions all over the world. If, people starts focusing towards new inventions rather than fighting among themselves, then in future, in the need of time, the future generation might be able to utilize those inventions to survive.

These inventions can be such as oxygen pill or artificial oxygen, city on space, artificial food that will keep us in a balanced diet, some source of new energy and our future generation might also be able to reside in some different planet outside earth.

If we fail to make these inventions than there is only one solution left for us that is “population control”. To control population we, the children of today’s world can take steps. We are the future for our future generations. So it’s time to get into action, so rise, awake, and take steps to control population.

The Ozone Hole Part III

Parts of The Spectrum

There are seven colors which consist of the spectrum. They are commonly known as

VIBGYOR

They stand for

i. Violet.

ii. Indigo.

iii. Blue.

iv. Green.

v. Yellow.

vi. Orange.

vii. Red.

But, there are two more colors. They are ultraviolet and Infrared. They come in the sequence that is as follows

UV VIBGYOR IR

They stand for

i. Ultraviolet Ray

ii. Violet

iii. Indigo

iv. Blue

v. Green

vi. Yellow

vii. Orange

viii. Red

ix. Infrared Ray

The Ozone Hole Part II

DID YOU KNOW THAT?

Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) is a Greenhouse Gas. It contributes to global warming and causes the ozone hole to enlarge. It is also a contributory factor of skin cancer.

But how can that be so?

Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) is emitted by gadgets we use in our daily life and it causes the thinning of the ozone layer. It breaks down the ozone into two atoms +one atom of oxygen that is O2+O.

Actually ozone is scientifically known to have three atoms of oxygen that is O3.

When the ozone hole thins it is no longer able to protect us from the Ultraviolet Rays of the sun. And this Ultraviolet Rays will enter the earth and be absorbed by the carbon particles in the Earth’s atmosphere thereby bringing about a rise in global temperatures or these Ultraviolet Rays will cause skin cancer.

This rise in global temperatures is known as global warming.

So, the more Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC)used by more and more people will do more harm to the Earth.

PLAYING WITH EMOTIONS.

The emotions of a person is very necessary to know him, to know his feelings and to understand him. The emotions of people are very delicate so we have to be very careful while handling relationships. But nowadays totally opposite is happening with all of us. There are so many people on this world and every second a new baby is born. So, people in this world is increasing but the resources to supplement them is decreasing as well as space to reside in is also decreasing. So, all people are fighting with each other, killing each other to live and use the reources alone. Now, people donot understand the feelings of other people. All have limited time to think only about themselves.

Let me give you some examples-

1.Earlier, when somebody among a family falls ill then all the other members of the family help him, treat him with love and care, comes and visit him. But now nobody have time to look after his own parents and children. All are busy with their own works.


2.Nowadays there are so many old age homes here and there. Why? Because children don' t have enough time to look after their old parents.


We are not realising that we are going far apart from each other. We are losing the love and care that would worth more than million dollars. For a second wait and ask yourself.

The Ozone Hole.

All of us are familiar with the disease named cancer. when the cells of the body begins to grow haphazardly it causes tumors or lumps on our skin. many people die due to cancer. the number of deaths in developing countries due to cancer is much more than in developed countries. last week i had attended a seminar on cancer awareness. i learnt some interesting facts about skin cancer. it is caused by exposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. but, if these rays are harmful for us then surely something must obviously be protecting us or else all of us would have contracted skin cancer by now. but, we have not contracted skin cancer only because of the ozone layer surrounding the earth. scientifically ozone is known to have three atoms of oxygen that is O3.

The ozone layer protects us from the radiation of the ultraviolet rays of the sun.but, recently i heard about the term ozone hole.

ozone hole is caused because of the gadgets that we use, like refrigerators,television,aerosol sprays,computers,etc. that is because they use Chlorofluorocarbons or CFC's. these Chlorofluorocarbon gases float upwards towards the stratosphere and causes the thinning of the ozone layer. it breaks it up into two atoms+one atom of oxygen i.e O2+O. this thinning or hole in the stratosphere is harmful for us as it exposes us to the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

But Chlorofluorocarbon use is not decreasing. it is increasing along with the increasing population. in the process it is enlarging the hole in the ozone layer.

Some steps were taken by many countries . the Kyoto Protocol is one such step it aims to reduce emissions of Greenhouse Gases.

Problems I face as a child

I have heard a lot about overpopulation and I also heard that it’s a major problem in today’s world. But I never knew why this is a major problem until I started to look deeper into this problem.

As a child I face many problems. After exploring and thinking I found that all these problems are associated with my daily life.

As the day begins my first problem starts with the crowd in the school bus. I am sure that there will be more than 50 students in our bus. It’s so crowd that you can’t even stand in comfort and there is no possibility of getting seats to sit.

Now, the second problem I face is that in school assembly. There will be definitely more than 2000 students in our school. Each class has to stand in proper line, in a fixed place. And in between so many students of different classes, we all find it difficult to make out our class’s line and thus it gets mixed up, and the assembly starts late because of such crowd.

The third problem that I have to face is that after assembly. All the student of different classes goes in their respective lines to their respective classes. And in this process it takes a long time reach our own class. And on way to our class there is always a huge rush on stairs due to student of different classes moving all together. It’s very risky as someone may get hurt and even may fall down the stairs.

The fourth problem is that we face during our games period or recess time. The playground being so big is always crowded with children playing different games. And sometimes the seniors or the elder students than us forces us to leave the field so as they can play their games comfortably without any disturbance.

The fifth problem is with our school canteen. During recess time I sometimes eat food from canteen. We have to first pay and then we get our food. They find it difficult to face our needs because of huge rush. They can’t decide to take money from whom and to give food to whom. And thus takes a lot of time to provide us food.

The sixth problem is associated with shops. Nowadays the shopkeepers are facing difficulties to face the demands of customers. The goods are less where as customers are more. And this is resulting in price hike.

The biggest problem that we all face is on special occasions like Christmas, Diwali, Durga Puja etc.We can’t enjoy it in a proper and good way because of huge crowd. All the streets stays blocked in traffic jam. The busses will always be fully crowded and people keep hanging out of doors and windows of busses.

ONE DAY THE EARTH WILL SPEAK.

So much crowd all around,

From a crowded bus to a crowded lane,

From arid areas to freezing cold places,

From backward villages to modern cities.

There are people anywhere, everywhere

So many people all around.

Every minute hundreds of people

are born in this Earth.

But every second, people fight for a

piece of land.

Every second, people struggle to get

the required resources.

Every second, people struggle to get

a healthy breathe of air.

People are overflowing the Earth

As water overflows a bucket.

The Earth holding the load of so many people

Is becoming heavier and larger

Will the Earth can hold the load?

Or will the Earth's backbone will break?

One day, when the Earth can no longer

control the pain,

It will speak........
