The best remedy
The best remedy for those who
are afraid, lonely or unhappy is
to go outside, somewhere where
they can be quiet, alone with
the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel
that all is as it should be and
that God wishes to see people
happy, amidst the simple
beauty of nature.
Voice of god
Reading about nature is fine,
but if a person walks in the
woods and listens carefully, he
can learn more than what is in
books, for they speak with the
voice of God.

“ Those who contemplate the
beauty of the earth find
reserves of strength that will
endure as long as life lasts.
There is something infinitely
healing in the repeated
refrains of nature -- the
assurance that dawn comes
after night, and spring after
winter.
Beauty of nature..
“ The best remedy for those who

longs as this exists, and it
certainly always will, I know
that then there will always be
comfort for every sorrow,
whatever the circumstances
may be. And I firmly believe
that nature brings solace in
all troubles.
Nice word by Einstein..
“ A human being is a part of the
whole called by us universe, a
part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his
thoughts and feeling as
something separated from the
rest, a kind of optical delusion
of his consciousness. This
delusion is a kind of prison
for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and to
affection for a few persons
nearest to us. Our task must
be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle
of compassion to embrace all
living creatures and the whole
of nature in its beauty.

Air Pollution: Bad For Health, But Good For Planet?
Cleaning up the air, while good for our lungs,
could make global warming worse. That
conclusion is underscored by a new study,
which looks at the pollutants that go up
smokestacks along with carbon dioxide.
These pollutants are called aerosols and they
include soot as well as compounds of nitrogen
and sulfur and other stuff into the air. Natalie
Mahowald, a climate researcher at Cornell
University, says so far, scientists have mostly
tried to understand what those aerosols do
while they're actually in the air.
"There are so many different kinds of aerosols
and they have many different sources," she
says. "Some warm and some cool. But in the
net, humans are emitting a lot of extra
aerosols, and they tend to cool for the most
part."
“
As we clean up the aerosols, which we really
want to do for public health reasons, we are
going to be perhaps causing ourselves more
trouble in terms of the climate situation.
- Natalie Mahowald, climate researcher, Cornell
University
The aerosols reflect sunlight back into space,
or they stimulate clouds that keep us cool. But
it turns out that's not all they do. These
aerosols also influence how much carbon
dioxide gets drawn out of the air by plants on
land and in the sea.
"They can add nutrients, for example, to the
oceans or to the land," Mahowald says. "But
also while they're in the atmosphere they can
change the climate, and so that also can
impact the amount of carbon the land or the
ocean can take up. So there are quite a few
different ways that aerosols can interact."
In an article published in Science magazine,
she concludes that those effects add up to
quite a bit. At the moment, aerosols are not
only helping reduce global warming by cooling
the atmosphere, but they're helping reduce the
amount of carbon dioxide that stays in the air
once we emit it.
That's good news for now — it means the
planet isn't heating up quite as fast as it could.
But that's bad news looking down the road a
little bit. That's because many aerosols make
people sick — heart and lung disease in
particular. So some nations are now in the
process of trying to rein them in.
"As we clean up the aerosols, which we really
want to do for public health reasons, we are
going to be perhaps causing ourselves more
trouble in terms of the climate situation,"
Mahowald says.
This is not a brand-new idea. For example,
other research has found that switching from
coal to much cleaner natural gas might not do
much to help with global warming because it
would also be reducing the pollutants in coal
smoke that help offset warming.
How we can stop pollution??
Pollution has become a major problem, and
these days, people are seeking solutions, tips
and ideas to help keep our planet healthy. How
can we stop pollution from contaminating our
water, air and land? There are many simple
steps we can take, both as individuals and as
communities to help reduce our use of
pollutants , and prevent environmental
contamination.
One of the most important steps to preserving
the environment for future generations is to
make the time and commitment to teaching
our children how we can stop pollution. For
instance, incorporating lesson plans, research,
field trips or projects that offer realistic
answers for how we can stop pollution into
primary school curriculum's, will ensure that
our children develop the necessary respect and
concern for the environment.
As adults, parents and role models for our
children, it is also important to demonstrate
our own compassion for the environment by
adopting daily behaviors and choices that can
make a difference. Here is a list of simple,
effective tips to teach children how we can
stop pollution.
Finding the Pollution Solution: Simple tips to
teach children how we can stop pollution.
1) Practice what you preach. Teach children
that many chemicals in products such as
pesticides, cleaning products, lawn and garden
products can be harmful to the environment.
Demonstrate your commitment to the
environment by purchasing and using only
organic or chemical free products.
2) Don’t litter! This tip is possibly the simplest
solution to how we can stop pollution. Avoid
throwing trash such as, empty cans, bottle or
wrappers onto the ground. If you see an
outdoor area where there is litter, set a good
example by cleaning it up, and recycling any
recyclable litter.
3) Recycle as much as you can – separate your
trash into recyclables; paper, plastic,
aluminum, cardboard, etc for recycling
collection. Landfill space (where all our trash
goes) is filling rapidly. To avoid the future
need to allocate precious, open land and
natural habitats for landfill capacity, teach
your children that much of what we throw
away can be easily recycled.
4) Never put any chemicals, soaps, or toxins
down storm drains. These storm drains wash
into streams and rivers where fish, birds, and
other animals will suffer the consequences.
Instead, dispose of any pollutants properly and
safely. Motor oil can be particularly damaging
to the environment. Always recycle your used
motor oil and filters. For a list of guidelines,
regulations, and collection centers local to
you, visit your town website or contact the
administration officials at your town or city
hall.
