As temperatures rise, people and ecosystems must adjust to new conditions, from changing crops to storing food differently. #Adaptation helps us cope with impacts, while #mitigation reduces emissions to prevent future warming. Both are essential to living with #ClimateChange
Snacks that are fried in oil that's heated again and again are unsafe. Each reheating breaks the oil down, forming harmful compounds like trans fats and free radicals. These damage blood vessels, increase bad cholesterol, strain the liver, and raise the risk of heart disease. The food may taste the same, but the oil becomes less safe each time it’s reused. Good health is about avoiding foods prepared from reused cooking oil, limiting deep - fried foods and choosing fresher, home-cooked options whenever possible. Small, steady choices keep your body protected.
#ClimateChange is increasing #floods, #heatwaves, and extreme weather, putting people’s homes, safety, and livelihoods at risk. While some can adapt and stay safe, vulnerable communities often face the greatest impacts, showing how climate change affects all living beings unequally.
This book is a simple, practical guide to food safety and healthy eating, explaining everything from germs and food poisoning to safe storage and hygiene. It also helps readers make smarter food choices with topics like balanced meals, labels, junk food, and reducing food waste.
Wetlands are shaped not only by water, but by wisdom. Across generations, traditional knowledge has protected these ecosystems, sustained livelihoods, and preserved cultural heritage. This #WorldWetlandsDay, let’s recognise community wisdom as central to wetland conservation, because protecting #Wetlands also means protecting #Culture, #Biodiversity, and ways of life. #WetlandsAndTraditionalKnowledge #WorldWetlandsDay2026 #NatureAndCulture #ClimateResilience #WaterSecurity

Rising seas may seem distant, but #GlobalWarming heats oceans and melts ice, pushing water levels higher. As coasts flood and habitats disappear, recognising how warming drives #SeaLevelRise is essential for protecting communities and planning for a changing climate.

India needs safer buses, stricter standards, and zero-tolerance for non-approved vehicles .
We need real reform: factory-built coaches only, fire-safe materials, multiple exits, mandatory inspections, and harsh penalties.
Let’s push for change, every life counts. Safety reforms can’t wait any longer.
