What is one thing you can do to help your community become more sustainable?
There are lot of farmlands and open spaces in my township and that is a good thing for the residents as there are lot of options for outdoor activities. The one thing I can do to help my community to become more sustainable is to encourage the residents to start composting locally so all the food scraps don't end up in trash but get into the soil which makes the soil organically fertile, helps the microorganisms to thrive which demands for carbon content and the plants absorb the carbon from the atmosphere to feed the micro-organisms thus reducing the carbon food print in the atmosphere.
If all people have the right to equal access to or the ability to grow and consume healthful, affordable, and culturally significant foods, this will result in eliminating food deserts in low-income areas, enhance the health and quality of life of low-income people, and ultimately result in improving the economy of the areas and environmental conditions.
People who spend most of their time inside and on screens become more impatient, easily irritable, stressful, lack proper cognitive skills, and physically weak to some extent.
How did you incorporate using an entire vegetable (skins, peels, tops, and stalks) during one of your meal preps? What's something new you're going to try that is a zero-waste meal practice?
There are a few recipes which you can make using the entire vegetables. 1. Salad - I used lettuce, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, sunflower and pumking seeds, and salad dressing. 2. Ridge gourd dal and ridge gourd chutney - peel the spikes of ridge gourd and cook it with moong dal and spices. Then add seasoning in the end. I grind the peeled spikes with coconut and spices to make a yummy chutney.
Next, i would like to motivate my family members to also reduce their shower time. One other thing i would like to incorporate is to use dishwasher more often than hand washing the vessels and i have read that this way we can save more water.
The linking factor across this group of SDGs #4, #8, #11 and #17 is that promoting lifelong learning leads to productive employment which further leads to sustainable cities which results in strong trade across global partnerships. WSP's collaboration with Bridge to Prosperity is bringing sustainable solutions to communities that are under-developed across the globe. This is simply awesome!
The linking factor across this group of SDGs #7, #9 and #12 is the sustainable energy, industrialization and production patters. I am amazed with the way this team built the bridge without using any sophisticated machinery, just bare hands and simple tools. Hats off to the entire WSP team!!!
By being part of the Savesoil movement on a daily basis and spreading awareness of the global soil crisis, the biggest impact I am able to make is on SDG #15 - Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
Hello Everyone, I am a volunteer for the Savesoil movement working to spread awareness about this global movement which is bringing people and leaders together to restore soil health. The UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) has reported that, unless we rapidly change how we manage our soils, 90% of it could become degraded by 2050, which will result in a global food crisis. The Save Soil movement aims to increase organic content in soil to a minimum of 3-6%. To effect this change we need to advocate for policies across all nations towards soil restoration and raise awareness of this imminent crisis among 3.5 billion people to garner their support. Please visit savesoil.org/consciousplanet.org for more information about how to become an Earth Buddy and help prevent our soil from desertification.
I often make a yummy smoothie with lot of fruits and that fills me up for over 4 hours. Below is the recipe is anyone wants to try. You could make your own variation of it with your favorites. Fruit smoothie: Ingredients: 6" long piece of ash gourd, half apple, one avocado, one banana, one bowl of mixed berries, half pear, soaked chia seeds and flax seeds- 2 tsp each, 2 tsp of hemp seeds, 1 tsp tulsi powder for immunity boost and 1 tbsp honey. Method: Blend the ash gourd, apple and avocado into a smooth past. To that, add chopped banana, berries, pear, soaked chia and flax seeds, hemp seeds, tulsi powder and honey. Mix well and enjoy. :)
