Welcome to "iSaveEarth.org",
a portal dedicated to Save the
Earth. Our goal at iSaveEarth.org
is to create environmental consciousness
in every individual so that every one of
us can understand what
global
environmental issues are and how
each one of us can
contribute individually to help save
this planet before its
too late. We at iSaveEarth.org are
striving to generate public awareness
through campaigns, seminars, advertising
etc. and trying our best to spread
the message across that how each
one of us can take conscious green
decisions in our every day life and help
save this planet. We believe that
climate change is real and is happening
right now.
What "iSaveEarth.org" is all
about ? iSaveEarth.org's main objective is to
educate and create environmental
consciousness based on scientific facts,
amongst millions of people around the
globe. You don't have to be a scientist
to have basic understanding about the
environmental issues which
earth is facing toady. Keeping this in
mind, while
writing various pages on iSaveEarth.org
an attempt has been made to briefly
describe these issues in a very easy to
understand language so that every one
can learn what main environmental
concerns are and how each
one of us can participate to
resolve them. iSaveEarth.org is all
about generating mass environmental
consciousness and action plan at grass
root individual level to save our
fascinating living planet "Earth".
In order to tackle these problems, we need to act and act
right now, both individually as well as collectively,
locally and as well as globally. We
encourage every one to get involved, be
responsible, start the action at home, spread
the message and say proudly " I
Save Earth" every day.How to Save Earth right from
your home? Tips from Dr. Abhinandan Bhardwaj
Scientists
believe that this trend is dangerous. Experts say that
unless we do something about reducing the greenhouse
emissions, average temperatures of earth could be 3 to 9
degrees higher by the turn of century.

Climate change is any
long-term significant change in the �average
weather� which a particular region may experience.
Continuous man made fossil fuel emissions has
caused global warming, which in turn in lading to
climate change..

Ozone is a natural gas in stratosphere, which
protects us from sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. But
due to human's use of ozone depleting chemicals such
as CFC's and aerosols etc., had lead to destruction
of ozone in stratosphere.

Effects
of air pollution on human health have
been observed , studied and reported in
research all over the world for the past
50 years. These effects include
respiratory diseases such as asthma,
cardiovascular diseases, changes in lung
function, and death.

As the world has industrialized and its
population has grown, the problem of
water pollution has intensified. For
many years, we have been dumping
untreated sewage, domestic and
industrial waster without any concern.

The universe of
hazardous wastes is large and diverse.
Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids,
contained gases, or sludge's. They can
be the by-products of manufacturing
processes or simply discarded commercial
products, like cleaning fluids or
pesticides.

Although the dire effects
of deforestation are well known and
documented by researches around the world,
deforestation still persists by those
who break the law for illegal
business..

Because
industrialization and urbanization often
vance uncontrolled way,
they often have destructive effects on
the environment, particularly on basic
ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and global
biodiversity.

Natural
disasters are mainly caused by natural
processes. Nevertheless, there is strong
growing evidence that increased severity
and frequency of natural disasters such
as Hurricanes, Tornadoes, heavy
rainfall, severe floods, avalanches, and
draughts might
be linked to changing global weather
patterns due to global warming.
However, other natural disasters such as
earthquakes and volcanoes are not
directly related to global warming or
climate change and occur mainly due to
various natural phenomena's described in
detail under some of these categories. Click
each category to learn more.
Hurricanes are violent tropical
storms with winds minimum speed of
at least 74 mph. They form over warm
ocean waters, usually starting as
storms. As they drift slowly and are
fueled by the warm waters of the
tropics.

Tornadoes are violent
windstorms characterized by a twisting,
funnel-shaped cloud. Tornado is a
small-diameter column of violently
rotating air developed within a
convective cloud and in contact with the
ground.

An earthquake is used to
describe any seismic event which
generates seismic waves. An earthquake
occurs as a result of a sudden release
of energy in the Earth's crust which
creates seismic waves.

In
reality, volcanoes are vents in the
Earth�s surface from which molten rock
called lava is released. There are
around 1900 active volcanoes around the
world, including those that have been
active in historical times.

Tsunamis
are ocean waves caused by large
earthquakes and landslides that occur
near or under the ocean. Scientists do
not use the term "tidal wave" because
these waves are not caused by tides.
more
Landslides
are a serious geologic hazard common to
almost every state in the United States.
It is estimated that nationally they
cause up to $2 billion in damages and
from 25 to 50 deaths annually.
They can be caused by various
natural phenomena's...
