Its been described as the new secondhand smoke: Noise is a form of pollution that can cause health problems in people and wildlife. But it’s often overlooked as a pollutant. What can be done to give our ears a break
The food we grow comes from the 2.5 billion farmers around the world who brave droughts and floods, depleting arable land, and unequal land distribution. Today, lets look at why the practice of farming today, and of the future needs a serious rethink.
In Mumbai extremely hot summers, and aggressive monsoons and the floods that accompany it bring life to a halt on many occasions. But this coastal metropolis now has another massive problem to deal with Rising Sea Levels. Climate change is making the already vulnerable city, more vulnerable.
We’ve often shown you stories of changemakers inspiring the people around them to be the change they want to see in the world. They’ve made a difference for the better to the everyday lives of people, and to the environment. Today on Eco India, we’ll dig deeper into how movements come together, and why big change occurs when the power is in the hands of the people.
Every minute, we produce and process huge amounts of food around the planet. And to make sure it reaches you this produce is transported by ships and trucks from one part of the world to the other. But nearly a billion people go hungry every night. Food waste is one of the most important reasons for the hunger in the world.
The world’s growing population uses more and more resources everyday and our lifestyles are becoming costly for the environment we live in. What does it mean to live sustainably in such a scenario does it mean living a life of lack Well, it’s actually the opposite.

Water is a basic human need but with potable water depleting every day, it is also becoming a part of big business. Bottled water, chemical filters, water purifiers are a part of every jargon in many parts of the world. How can we take care of water better, and use it sustainably so that generations to come don’t lose access to it
Forests are the lungs of the earth we can’t really afford to live life without healthy forests. But every year, 8.8 million hectares of forests are being destroyed making way for every imaginable human activity from palm oil plantations and soy fields, to roads, to amusement parks, to parking lots.
The world generates more than two billion tonnes of garbage annually. According to the World Bank, at least 33 of this is notmanaged in an environmentallysafe manner. And these growing piles of garbage not only pose a serious threat to the environment, but endanger human health worldwide.
Plants. And how they can be reused to offset the effects of harmful materials on our
The forgotten power of traditional knowledge. Take traditional farming practices, for example they promoted biodiversity and defied climate change for hundreds of years.
Some of the most fragile ecosystems around the world are found where the ocean meets the land. And no matter how fast the world manages to curb its carbon emissions, sealevels are going to rise and 300 million people will be at risk of flooding by 2050.
Many discussions take place at different levels of the society to address exactly this high level meetings and international climate conferences are held every year with representatives from most countries.
Life itself arose from water It is where the essential building blocks were formed over millennia. It took thousands of years for aquatic animals and plants to make the transition onto land.
Half of the oxygen on earth is produced by trees. They use energy from sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
A habitat in the middle of an unliveable place. Whether it is a green lush oasis in the desert or the idea of a human settlement on the cold, dry, red Mars. Humans always try to transform inhospitable lansdcapes into vivid places.
Our love for the fish on our plate, and other seafood is causing great harm and an imbalance to the marine ecosystem worldwide. How can we preserve our oceans and, even our rivers so that they continue to remain a living space
Sustainable Consumption can be the solution. But how does that work We show you some examples.
Nutrient rich soil, plentiful sun and water and many weeks or even months of careful work. A lot is needed to grow corn, rice or
Unspoilt world in the middle of the amazon rainforest
Forests rich with trees, large swamplands, and the expansive sea bed are all, believe it or not, the biggest repositories of carbon dioxide on our planet.
