A sharp declining trend in carbon emission in 2020







According to a report published in DW, this year (2020) experiences a sharp decreasing trend of  carbon emission. The credit goes to lockdown imposed due to tackle noble corona virus (COVID19), which resulted in checking the traffic and industrial output, which resulted in a sharp decrease of carbon emission.

Experts said that factories, transportation, aviation sectors are the major factors which causes huge pollution to the environment. Due to lockdown the pollution caused by these factors are totally checked. But when the total restriction will be lifted the situation will again return to same place. So only lockdown is not the only solution to the global climate change. It can act as temporary solutions but for a permanent it the duty of every citizen to work for it, such as work form home culture should be encouraged, limiting the usage of transportation,  using plastic free resources, encouraging the green energy platforms and minimizing the carbon footprint of every individual.

ExploringThiruvananthapuram

In the Southern part of India, A state Kerala, known for its cultural activities such as Dance, vibrant festivals, Hill stations, Backwater, Elephants, forestry of Rubber trees and Coconut trees is situated. The state got its name from "Kera" means coconut tree in Malayalam and "Alam" means land so the meaning of Kerala is driven from the land of coconut trees. Now in this shivering cold in the month of December, We started our tour to Thiruvananthapuram-the capital of Kerala. We started from Kolkata via flight, and when we arrived at the airport of Thiruvananthapuram in the early morning the first thing which I feel is the weather is very calm weather. When the entire Northern part of India is shivering in cold this Southern part of India is slightly affected with the winter season. Anyway, We have to go IISER Trivandrum, where an international conference was being held and I was one of the participants in the conference.  The landscape of the whole c...

Natural regeneration: a step towards restoring the forest cover

  Video link In a video(link given at the top) published in world economic forum highlights how Natural regeneration could be an effective idea to restore the forest cover. It is based upon the principle of leave the nature in its own condition so that it grows naturally and heals by itself. I does not means taking no action but instead highlights on planting more native trees in the forests.These should be no human interference in the forest cover for building made made structures. It will promote the growth of ecology and biodiversity of the nature. Again, by following this approach it is expected that it will observe 10% of annual carbon dioxide emission of  UK and quarter of  green house gas worldwide.

Work from home vs. work from office

Me doing Work from home and simultaneously enjoying the nature. Now a days, we are working on generally two modes. Either our official or academic work are in WFH (work from home) mode or WFO (work from office) mode. When Covid-19 started spreading last year in January 2020 and all the restrictions were implemented by the government. Suddenly, all the offices started shutting down. Then, whole economy came on WFH platform. At the beginning, everyone faced little difficulty but then WFH became a better option for work. Now a days, when the restrictions is being lifted up and we are going to the normal condition with decreasing spread of Covid disease, again the working culture is returning back in offline mode i.e. WFO mode. Today many of the people are reluctant to return on WFO mode because of various reasons. In contrast, many people are happy with backing WFO mode. Still schools, colleges are working with 50 percent capability with both WFH and WFO options. So at present, we are in ...
