World Bee Day theme for the year 2022 is “Bee engaged: Build Back Better for Bees”. The World Bee Day aims to
attract public attention to the threats and significance of bees in the global food supply. Bees have cultural and environmental prestige in our society as the most promising pollinators and producers of food, honey, and medicinal products. Both farmed and wild bees prevent the growth and quality of vegetation and crops. Bees are essential for food security and maintaining balance in the food web and ecosystem. However, the welfare and number of bees worldwide are declining, and therefore, it is essential to protect and conserve them to maintain human well-being. We can support these small.

Trees and Plants are being burned, degraded and logged at astonishing rates. Every 1.2 seconds, man destroys an area of forest the size of a football field. We teach the importance of reforestation and the benefits for human life.

एक रिपोर्ट के अनुसार इस समय दुनियाभर में करीब तीन बिलियन लोगों के समक्ष पानी की समस्या है और विकासशील देशों में तो यह समस्या कुछ ज्यादा ही गंभीर होती जा रही है।
World Water Day 2022 पानी हमारे जीवन के लिए बहुत ही जरूरी है बिना इसके जिंदगी की कल्पना भी नहीं की जा सकती। लेकिन क्या आप जानते हैं धरती पर मौजूद पानी के विशाल स्त्रोत में से महज एक-डेढ़ फीसदी पानी ही पीने योग्य है।
बच्चों ने अपने सोच और इसके बचाव के लिए आगे से कैसे वो अपने घर से शुरुवात करेंगे, साझा किया।

Global consumption of lithium in 2021 was estimated to be 93,000 tonnes, a 33% increase from 70,000 tonnes in 2020.
With the growing concerns over the skyrocketing plastic consumption across the world, it is essential for us to learn more about the statistics and get a more comprehensive view of the problem.
According to a study, about 8 million tonnes of plastic enters oceans every year and this amount is expected to triple by 2040 !
These plastic pieces are destructing the marine ecosystem and harming marine wildlife in unimaginable ways. About 100,000 marine mammals die from plastic waste every year.(WWF)
Lot has been said about adverse effect of Air Pollution, specially at this time of year, when AQI is mostly in the Unhealthy to Hazardous zone. The reason that Air Pollution is so dreadful around winter season is that due to the colder air – the pollutants settle near the ground and since, the winds aren’t that strong they persist around us – leaving us more exposed to them!
Time and again, concerning authorities and government bodies try to reassure that relevant steps are being taken to mitigate it. But have you ever wondered – how small steps by you can help clean air around us! So, let’s give you a run through of what all can be done, by you - to save the planet and to save yourself as well, from the pollutants.
When stepping outside of home, check AQI (Air Quality Index) of your area, if AQI lies beyond unhealthy region, tread outside only if necessary. If you can’t avoid going out, wear a PM 2.5 or N95 mask, it would not only block the dreadful pollutants but also the Corona virus, as we are still in the pandemic. On the other hand, to help lessen your personal contribution to the air pollutants, try walking or cycling to nearby areas, or else you can pool cars with your colleagues or neighbors when going to office, and on top of that, public transport is always an option.
Moving on to the steps that can help you improve indoor air quality – start by growing lots of air-purifying indoor plants. Plants like snake plant, spider plant, zz plant and many more, require very less maintenance and sunlight, and in return they absorb harmful pollutants, leaving behind clean air around us. Seems like more sustainable and cheaper solution than buying Air Purifiers, right! Next thing you can do is - avoid firewood for cooking or heating purpose, try cleaner fuels and electric devices instead. Also, avoid smoking indoors, or if you can, avoid smoking entirely – it’s injurious to health anyways. Also, stop using aerosols like spray cans , paints, bug sprays, etc. – they are also one of the source of indoor air pollutants. And Lastly, save electricity! You must be wondering how switching off an electric appliance might improve indoor air quality – but the thing is – everything in this world is inter-linked, and so is the indoor and outdoor air pollution. A mere act of turning off the lights, when not in use, is just a small gesture, but if done cumulatively, it will lessen the load on electric generation by fossil fuel burning, and thus, will reduce generation of pollutants at large.
Hope these tips will help you fight Air pollution better and enjoy the winter season with cleaner air and season’s warmth.

Greenland, which is the world’s largest island located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans, has three-quarters of its surface covered with a permanent ice sheet, which is increasingly coming under threat because of climate change.
One of the things we can do to reduce our plastic waste, other than not buying it, of course, is repurposing it! Plastic is non-biodegradable and could only be recycled once or twice, that too in a proper recycling plant. By repurposing our plastic (bottles, here) we are adopting a sustainable and zero-waste lifestyle that is beneficial for not only us but the entire environment! ♻️

As it takes time to make paper mache, the session started by understanding and working on the first step. Meanwhile, topics like recycling paper and its advantages, the origin and history of paper mache, the art of paper mache in places like France and India were covered.♻️
Then the beautiful and productive art of paper mache 📰was performed by the participants. They learned how to make one and what all kinds of paper mache are possible to make. Videos were shown about how they can make paper, jewelry, and wall decor out of this activity.📺
It was an interactive session where participants experimented with the waste material to make something useful and decorative.🍄
Stay tuned with us to know what the next workshop on “PAPER BAG”🛍️ brings to the table!

Hello amigos!⚡
Let’s review our journey of Bird Feeder workshop on the last day of our 🍀ECO-SUMMER CAMP🍀!
We started off with some facts about birds🦜 and talked about their evolution. In this learning process, participants interacted about how birds inspire science i.e. airplanes✈️. Some questions like “ Why are birds important?” , “How do they depend on the ecosystem?” , “How do they sustain forest life?” and “Why is there a decline in some species of birds?” were answered.
They talked about saviours of birds and watched a video on winter migration of birds to Indian subcontinent. An icebreaking activity was conducted where participants shared about what birds do they see in and around their area followed by a talk on endangered birds in India like great Indian Buster, Forest owlet and many more🦅.
A final touch to the session was definitely a ‘BIRD FEEDER’ 🦤! Our participants reused plastic bottles🍶and made beautiful bird feeders followed by a short information on how we can help these little creatures.
Congratulations to our participants for successfully completing the summer camp!🎉
Cheers to taking a step ahead in saving the environment!🌱

Teach for green is organizing an ‘ECO SUMMER CAMP’ starting from 15th May to 23rd May 2021. The camp consists of four activities aimed at sensitizing the community towards environmental issues through intensive and engaging experiential learning. The activities are creative and therapeutic, which all of us need especially in these trying and testing times.
The Nature Zine activity was conducted on 15th May, wherein Participants of all ages joined.
It was an interactive session where participants were introduced to the art of making zines and also shared their experiences, feelings, and memories about nature. It was also aimed at making participants relax and reflect on all the times they’ve spent in nature and hence worked as the perfect creative detox from all the happenings in the world. The participants made and decorated their zines in their own unique ways.
New activities are being conducted every day in the Eco summer camp.
So Register yourself now!
