Do not risk safety by driving in extreme weather. Drive in conditions that you are familiar and comfortable in. If you must drive in heavy rain or snow, for example, ensure you have an experienced driver with you as a guide.

Toxic-laden plastics should not be recycled. A circular economy is one where a resource's life is extended or it is repurposed sustainably i.e without polluting/harming the environment or people. #falsesolutions #reuse #redesign
According to research by Scientific Reports, the mass ice loss from nearly 15,000 ice sheets in the #Himalayas is especially rapid compared with other parts of the world. This will have serious social implications on 750 million people who depend on these glaciers for freshwater
Mindful driving keeps you safe. So make sure you fine tune your road observation skills and practice these strategies to negotiate road and traffic hazards or other dangerous situations.

Recycling is touted as safe & best option for managing plastic waste but a new study by @IPEN shows a different picture. IPEN tested recycled pellets from 23 countries for various toxins. None of the samples were toxin free! #falsesolutions #reuse #redesign
However, this recent study reveals that the recycling process transfers the toxins in plastic to the recycled plastic; and because recycling typically mixes several types of plastic together, could produce new chemical cocktails in the process.
As per a study by Giz India in collaboration with The National Institute of Disaster Management, #ClimateChange is likely to exacerbate the intensity & frequency of weather-related disasters. In #India, the climate variability manifests in the form of floods, droughts, heat waves & cyclones. #ActOnClimate
