March 22nd is a global UN observance day to raise awareness of the value of freshwater. The objective of this day is to promote actions aimed at resolving the worldwide water crisis and to raise awareness about the 2.2 billion people who lack access to potable water.
Our planet and humanity currently face several challenges, including climate change, water scarcity, inequality, and hunger. A global approach is the most effective way to resolve most of these issues. We must collectively promote sustainable development, focusing on environmental balance, social improvement, and economic growth.
Jackson city’s main water treatment plant failed in mid-to-late August 2022. This failure cut off the city’s residents access to safe and clean water. In introspection, this crisis proves how the city’s water system is fragile and increasingly susceptible to climate change effects in the coming years.
The new map of Mars released by the European Space Agency (ESA) shows locations with abundant hydrated minerals on the red planet. Consequently, this changes how we think about the planet’s watery past. In addition, the map indicates the best places to land for further exploration in the future.
Earth and the life on it depend on the environment for its health. Earth is the home of all life, we rely on the environment for all our needs, including food, water, and air. Consequently, protecting the environment is everyone’s business. The term “net zero” is quite popular regarding environmental protection, but you may have wondered what it means. And why is it so important? Fortunately, this blog discusses net zero in detail. So, kindly read further to learn about this new concept.
With the increasing demand for sustainable climate action came some new buzzwords. Carbon Neutrality is one of the terms you will find around where climate action is the topic of discussion. Understandably, not everyone understands what these terms really mean. We use them as frequently as it gets, but do we know if we are using them correctly? Read on to learn more about these terms and how they contribute to the fight against climate change and the quest to save the planet.
Water is life – the source and the most important requirement for every living being. We cannot write the history of human evolution and civilization without mentioning the crucial role of water. From prehistoric civilization to the primitive era and contemporary society, water always has a grand role in the bigger picture. There is no development nor survival without water – we need it for irrigation, production, and, most importantly, drinking.
Caring for the environment should be a collective responsibility. With American Recycles Day – November 15, 2021 – approaching, it is a good time to discuss viable ways to reduce environmental waste by buying eco-friendly products. Every household using a water filter to produce clean drinking water must replace these filter cartridges after some time. The frequency of the change depends on the model, water quality, and water usage. While home water filtration systems harm the environment less than plastic bottles, the used cartridges still constitute part of the landfill. But it is not all doom; recycling can help to mitigate this problem. Read on to find out how.
The increasing demand for reverse osmosis water systems is not surprising, considering how advanced this water filtration technology is. Here is a blog that we wrote before that explains how powerful the reverse osmosis is: How Does a Reverse Osmosis Filter System Work? RO system efficiently removes contaminants, providing high-water, clean, and healthy water for drinking and cooking. However, it also produces wastewater – a major concern for users. Traditional reverse osmosis systems produce up to four cups of wastewater for every cup of filtered water. How is this possible?
The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) suggests that “Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and a prerequisite for the realization of many other human rights.” When the United Nations (UN) member countries established a plan for sustainable development in 2015, known as Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, clean water was high on the agenda.
