Pixels shining, such salvation — a doom Wide-eyed people: a future of dreams Giants making greens Capital C, every season on bloom Three-eyed phone; a positive feat Hashtag burning trees Cancel them through tweets Renegade, dancing queen Another day, another dawn Another slowly poisoned land Time has come, everything’s gone; now we try to plant seeds in the sand Grinning faces, Somewhere in high places Clinking bottles, flashing lights Drowning cries, drowning cries One day the air will be poison, just like how we poisoned the air A girl pleading on screen Some old man asking her to chill A...
Young people need to be actors and not observers in the climate change arena
Taking the Stage at The Largest Technology Conference in The World
In November of 2021, I alongside my colleagues Taira Mehta and Anupra Chandran spoke at the largest innovation and technology event in the world, Web Summit. A few months before our presentation, we co-created a carbon capture project called Kaptis, which focuses on extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converting it into graphene. The number one thing we do right now after capturing CO2 is burying it into the ground and that isn't efficient, because there is no economic incentive, so we wanted to use carbon instead as a resource. Currently, carbon is being turned into many...
Climate Crisis 2022
Climate change has been a hot-button issue for years. Scientists have high confidence that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States and other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. Recently, in Los Angeles, scientists including Peter Kalmus, a NASA climate scientist with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, chained themselves to the JP Morgan...
Climate change: A planned fiasco
We live in a world full of quagmires, whether or not to solve them is usually deciphered by the degree of harm it causes in the present. Have we ever thought about what our indiscriminate actions today can lead to tomorrow? This is one sticky wicket that has been tantalizing almost every scientist to find a solution as urgently as possible. Climate change is not something that’s happening on its own, it’s A PLANNED FIASCO. Talking about how to reduce carbon emissions and listening to ‘How dare you’ by Greta Thunberg will no more help. Its an issue that needs more sensitization than blame...
Unspoken Carbon Time Machine Threatens to Create a Climate Change Crisis
I come from officially the world's coldest city with over 10,000 population - Yakutsk. Sometimes, in winter, the temperatures here drop below −60°C (−76 °F). Located in East Siberia, Yakutsk is the capital city of the Sakha Yakutia Republic, which would be the world’s eighth-largest country if it were independent, according to The New York Times.
Mongla: A Haven for Climate Change Refugees?
Climate Change has begun displaying its catastrophic self to the world. The rising sea levels, irregularity of seasons, and increase in the number of natural disasters are some of the large-scale consequences causing havoc in various vulnerable regions of the world. However, in recent times, Climate Change has also branched out its adverse effects across the environmental domain and has forced people to transmute into ‘Climate Refugees’. ‘Climate Refugees’ could be simply defined as the large-scale migration of people due to the environmental reason of climate change. And one of the regions...

The Moral Responsibility to Preserve, Share, and Care for Our Common Home
For every resource that we enjoy also comes responsibility. It is our moral responsibility to preserve, share, and care for our common home to obey the words of Christ. In the book of Genesis, God specifically commanded humankind to take care of both the living and the non-living creation. This command is not just a form of worship and reverence for Him but this responsibility is for our common good and humankind’s survival. Human pressure on nature has soared since the 1970s. The selfish desires of the capitalist industry and the greed for possession destroy our environment is taking its toll...

African Sistah
African Sistah, Toes in the warm sand Ankles full of charms rattling with every step Bumping a sea of people as she carries her blue surfboard She steps on a plastic bottle and sighs Picking it up and putting it in her satchel she treads on. African Sistah, Pulled by the alluring of the blue ocean She looks to the horizon and dreams She dreams of cleaner beaches and oceans But she is tormented with floating islands of plastic Turtles choking on plastic bags She shuts her eyes and erases those foul images from her head. African Sistah, She ties her dreadlocks and sets her board right Ready to...
Solar energy - Lighting up lives
Many of the people living in rural Kenya have had their electricity set up in the recent years. This is because of an initiative by the Kenyan government dubbed “The Last Mile Connectivity Project”. To say the truth, many families have benefited from this project: homes have been lit up, business and various institutions such as schools and hospitals are up and running. About 65.0% of electricity in Kenya is generated locally using renewable energy sources (hydropower 35.9%, geothermal 25.86%, cogeneration from bagasse 1.66%, wind 1.11% and solar 0.08%) while 35.386% was generated using fossil...

Climate change and Us
Out of the many issues that concern the earth today, I strongly believe in Climate change. Being a part of the generation Z and growing up with headlines stating “December 2012 is going to be the end of mankind”, “Melting glaciers end up in floods killing 100+ people” and “Summery Texas covered in snow”, I undoubtedly fear for my future because I personally don’t know if at all, I am actually going to have a future or not. I believe that the first reason for climate change is negligence. We don’t realise that our simple acts can make a difference, even if its connection with climate isn’t...
The New Normal and Nature
Nature's beauty is a word we have often heard, and we even glance at its beauty. But, do we know its true significance? The answer is NO. There is a lot yet to be known about nature's envision and its creativity. Even if we know a few things, we don't really take them seriously. We take it for granted. Reports say that human activities are a major cause of habitat loss. Nature is our mother. We do such cruel things to her, yet she gives us all needful. Today though we are in lockdown, or we don't go outside that much as before, the trees, the flowers, the rivers, fresh lakes, mountains...
Let Eco-friendly Habits Circle the World
There are several habits you can learn to help protect the environment. The ones depicted in this image are avoiding plastic straws, bottles, and bags, recycling glass and newspapers, donating reusable items instead of throwing them away, and riding a bike rather than taking a car.
Save Trees 🌳, Save Environment, Save Life
If you cut a tree 🌳, you kill a life If you save a tree you save a life. Trees make the environment cleaner and provide us with oxygen. In this painting I have shown that we need to start living sustainable life, decrease pollution, stop cutting trees, use 3R's and need to use sustainable technology to save our environment and our life's. We should say no to single use plastic, save water, save energy, plant more trees, and have to promote sustainable technology to have a Save Future.
