Pledging For Sustainability
Economic
development generally requires
more energy to fuel production. However irresponsible and irrational energy use is also associated
with adverse environmental and socioeconomic effects. While energy security is paramount, we all must pledge to promote and develop sustainable energy technologies.
Saving Our Planet
One of the most pressing challenges communities across the globe are facing right now and will continue to face throughout the 21st century if nothing is done relate to environmental pollution, locally and globally. Our dedication and advocacy to serve in the best
interest of communities and save the planet are at the center of our actions.

IN THE NEWS
Earth's Climate is Warming
(NASA)
Temperature data from four international science institutions. All show rapid warming in the past few decades and that the last decade has been the warmest on record. Data sources: NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, NOAA National Climatic Data Center, Met Office Hadley Centre/Climatic Research Unit and the Japanese Meteorological Agency
Climate Change:
Global Warming & Weather patterns Disruption
Climate
change is often defined as a change in global or regional climate patterns. A
change that has been in particular apparent from the mid to late 20th century
and attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide
produced by the use of fossil fuels.
According to
US-EPA, climate change is not a fake assumption; the evidence of climate change
is real. rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather
and climate. The planet's oceans and glaciers have experienced some big
changes - oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting,
and sea levels are rising. Many places have seen changes in rainfall,
resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent
and severe heat waves.
Global
warming is one
of the biggest central threat and challenge of the 21st century. Global warming is one measure of climate
change; and it means a rise in the average global temperature. Its effects are
devastating. The global
warming that has been observed in recent decades is caused by elevated levels
of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as a result of
human activities.
From most
earth scientists perspective and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), the current
warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely
human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300
year. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that
climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human
activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have
issued public statements endorsing this position.
Climate
Change poses significant risks to a broad range of human and natural systems.
In recent years, hopefully, environmental regulations are getting more and more stringent and large
polluting industries must abide by strict environmental performance targets.
Adopting green technologies, embracing sustainable practices and educating
communities is the way forward to reducing the planet carbon footprint and
reverse the trend of global warming and climate change.
