The green letter is an initiative to do our bit in reducing the troubles of the environment by even learning new things along the way. So let's go green!

It becomes very important for us to breathe new life in our belief system and work towards the greater good.

SAVE YOURSELF

Vegetarian diets tend to be lower in fats, carbs and cholesterol leading to heart diseases. Statistically vegetarians have been shown to have 24% less chances of dying of heart diseases ensuring metabolic stability.

[Anika Singh @TheGreenLetter1]

Here is a misconception often associated with a vegetarian/ vegan based diet and that is, they are not rich in certain nutrients and proteins often found in an animal based diet, but here is the thing, I am a vegetarian and have always been one, you don't need meat to be healthy

How is wildlife important?
HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS
The ecosystem is primarily about the relationships between different organisms through food chains and food webs. If a single species gets extinct from the ecosystem then it would lead to disruptions in the food chain.#protectwildlife

[Anika Singh @TheGreenLetter1]

Infrastructure expansion is a major cause of deforestation because it increases access to the remotest of areas which involves the clearing up of forests.

Imagine; what would be the result of continuous felling of trees, what would it lead to?

✔️Extinction of various species

✔️ Increase in CO2 levels in the atmosphere, eventually leading to global warming

✔️Oxygen levels would decrease

[Anika Singh @TheGreenLetter1]

Deforestation, being another major threat to wildlife, leads to destruction of their natural habitats, thus forcing more and more species to the brink of extinction. In some regions, it is the hunting of birds, for sport or to trade their pelts.

[Anika Singh @TheGreenLetter1]

The major reason for extinction of any species is broadly associated with industrialisation and the rapid growth in intensive farming. It is absolutely devastating, since we humans have learnt to be selfish, we have forgotten to care of these species.

Lilacs are popularly associated with purity and confidence, they even have aromatic qualities. Lilacs can even be used as toner for the face due to the properties it possess.

⛔ STOP! This toilet is not just a toilet 🚽

It’s a life-saver, dignity-protector and opportunity-maker.

There must be toilets for all by 2030.

We must leave no one behind.

- Due to Melting glaciers the community may face higher chances of natural disasters such as floods and tsunamis, eventually leading to the displacement of human settlements.

[Anika Singh @TheGreenLetter1]

- Since everything on this planet is interlinked, the melting of glaciers leads to the disruption of weather patterns.

- Industries that thrive on fisheries will be affected and location and time of where fish spawn will change.

Scientists have determined that global sea level has been steadily rising since 1900 at a rate of at least 0.04 to 0.1 inches per year. Imagine all the snow accumulated over millions of years begins to melt then the sea levels would rise at a huge pace leading to a catastrophe.

Land pollution is the deposition of solid or liquid waste materials on land that can lead to degradation of soil fertility.
