VRIKSHA

VRIKSHA is step to keep our Nation Green Environment. As we all know that Environmental issues are a warning of the upcoming disaster, which leads to the degradation of air, water and soil quality.
Major causes of environmental issues are:

  1. Pollution
  2. Solid Waste
  3. Deforestation
  4. Global Warming
  5. Depletion of Natural Resource

Measures that can be taken to reduce the environmental issues:

  • Plant more trees : Growing more trees and planting trees to balance out the destruction caused by deforestation can be done to improve environmental health.
  • Reduce the use of automobiles: Public transport and pooling should be done to reduce air pollution and reduce fuel wastage.  Bicycles should be used as an environment-friendly  approach. 
  • Reuse and recycle waste products:  The principle of 3R should be used (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle).
  1. Carry reusable bags.
  2. Use reusable water bottles.
  3. Say “no” to a plastics.
  4. Use mugs instead of using disposable cups and avoid single use k-cups 
  5. Choose to “go paperless”.
  • Disposal of solid and harmful waste :The most effective ways are
  1. Landfill
  2. Incineration
  3. Waste compaction
  4. Composting
  5. Vermicomposting

 

  • Wastewater released directly into the water bodies should be treated to remove any chemical pollutants.
  • Rainwater harvesting methods should be used to save rainwater from draining as it is fresh.
