Assalamualaikum everyone. I welcome you all to my new blog. Today my topic is Green Economy. We have discussed this in our class and I will be writing my blog about this today. Firstly, the green economy is an economy that reduces environmental risk and ecological scarcities. We are the human being of nature and we take benefits from the environment. It is our responsibility to take care of nature. We need to fix that our actions don’t cause harm to the environment. We need to keep our surface green so that it keeps the world healthy and happy. Moreover, even if we create any industry or factories, it is our responsibility to ensure that any gases produced from the factories don’t harm nature. It should be maintained wisely and that gases need to be recycled and maintained properly. Green stickers and ecolabel practices have emerged as consumer-facing indicators of friendliness to the environment and sustainable development. Many industries are starting to adopt these stand...

Week-08- Sustainability Solutions

Assalamualaikum. I welcome you all to my new blog. Today my blog topic is ‘Sustainability Solutions'. Earlier, we have discussed this in our class and now I am going to write about this topic. First of all, we need to know what is sustainability solutions. Well, sustainability solutions are to make the world a better place for everyone. It is our core responsibility to take care of and provide good service to the environment. Planting trees can be one solution for this. By planting more trees, our environment will never run out of oxygen and we will be able to get more and more oxygen from our environment. Trees inhale carbon dioxide and keep our system balanced. This is how it is important to plant trees as much as we can. Again, it is important to think about plastic pollution. Plastic usually throws away after using it that eventually causes water pollution, air pollution. Therefore, it is important to recycle plastics after being used and they should not be thrown here ...

We have read about environmental challenges in our class and yes, today I will talk about environmental challenges that we used to face while living life.

For 25 million years the earth’s climate is fluctuating, cycling to ice ages from warm appearance. But from the last century, the planet temperature has risen unusually fast about 1.2 to 1.4-degree spheroid. It’s human activities that are driving the temperature up. Since, industrial revolution factories, power plants, fossil fuel from cars like oil release carbon dioxide and many gases into the atmosphere and is harming the earth gradually.

Week6: Ecology and Nature

Assalamualaikum everyone to my another blog. My today’s blog is about 'Ecology and Nature'. This earth is our beautiful home. When our planet is clean and healthy, people are healthy. Plants and animals are healthy too. We get everything we need from the earth. Our foods, homes, tools, and clothes come from nature. So we must take care of nature so it can give us these things in return. As Muslims, it is our first and foremost responsibility to take care of our nature. We are taking benefits from nature now and then. This is why it is our concern to be careful about the other species of nature. It is vice versa. Sometimes I have observed cats and butterflies on our campus. They move around in our campus simultaneously as our close ones. It is our responsibility to create a friendly zone for other species of nature. We should not harm these animals and insects. It is all about balance. We have to keep our nature clean and healthy and make it convenient for the other animals ...
