Be a superstar energy-saving consumer. Stay informed about the Indian Star Labels affixed on appliances to know a product's efficiency and make responsible purchases.
As the digital invasion continues, we need robust discussions on keeping consumers safe from misinformation. The ease of availability and scalability of AI (and search engines and Chat Bots that use it), algorithmic bias and content moderation prejudices have all introduced unique challenges to keeping consumers safe. Be an aware and responsible consumer. Don't believe everything you hear; and be especially careful with what you share. #WorldConsumerRightsDay

Butterflies & moths, sensitive to environmental changes, are vital bioindicators of ecosystem health. Their declining populations have serious implications, impacting animals like bats, birds, & insects reliant on them as a food source.
Roundabouts are a safer and a more user-friendly alternative to traditional crossroads as they do not interrupt traffic flow. Traffic does not need to stop; simply yield, allowing the junction to handle more traffic in the same amount of time. Wait and allow people already in the roundabout to move out before entering in.
Road infrastructure is designed for men - bus step heights & duration of #pedestrian lights for example. Safety is a crucial missing link in road design. Pedestrian infrastructure like foot overbridges & subways tend to be dark, unwelcoming spaces that are unsafe for #women. This International #WomensDay, let us focus on improving & revamping our public infrastructure to be inclusive.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a medical condition where the pressure exerted by the blood on the inner walls of blood vessels is high. This incidence of blood pressure is rising, driven by obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and modern diets that comprise processed foods high in fats, sugar and salt. Hypertension often has no symptoms and so it is called the ‘silent killer’. It can become serious if left unidentified and untreated. Hypertension is the underlying and leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide (World Health Organisation). Building awareness among the public about the dangers of hypertension therefore remains an essential aspect of managing this rapidly rising condition.
Hypertension accounts for about half of all heart disease and stroke-related deaths worldwide (World Heart Foundation). A worrying trend is the increase in the prevalence of hypertension in low and middle-income countries, almost two-thirds of adults aged between 30-79 live here. Unfortunately, 46% of adults in the world are not aware of their conditions. Large vulnerable populations in India live under significant risk of heart attacks and strokes, when hypertension is a condition that can be detected with minimal diagnostic equipment even at primary health care centres. Even treatment costs of the disease are low compared to most other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevalent in India. Despite this, India alone has more than 200 million people who are hypertensive or diagnosed with high blood pressure, with a mere 20 million having it under control.
Globally, WHO has set a target to reduce the prevalence of hypertension by 33% by 2030. It is therefore obligatory that routine screening and treatment be made accessible to the last mile if we intend to contain its rise.
A recent study by UWA research analysed global data from 163 health studies revealing a correlation between climate-induced extremes & preterm births, and exacerbated respiratory diseases, mortality, and morbidity in all children. #ActOnClimate
