Fun Fact: The earliest known cities—including Mohenjo-Daro, Uruk, and Memphis—were all built next to rivers that still flow today. We think of rivers as passive forces—things we dam, drain, or divert. But what if rivers remember? What if every meander, flood, and dry bed carries a story of us—our triumphs, collapses, migrations, and mistakes? “What …
Fun Fact: The American Psychological Association (APA) officially recognised “eco-anxiety” as a legitimate psychological condition in 2017. You’re not imagining it. The tightness in your chest when you read about forest fires, the guilt when you forget your cloth bag, the dread that creeps in when monsoon patterns shift—it has a name. It’s called eco-anxiety. …
Fun Fact: A single drop of glacier meltwater can take weeks—or even years—to reach your kitchen tap! We turn on the tap and out comes water, clean and ready to drink. But have you ever wondered where it came from? Not just the city reservoir or the water tank, but really—where? In this blog, we …
Fun fact: A forest can “talk”—trees share nutrients and send warnings through underground fungal networks. If that sounds like a scene from Avatar, think again. It’s real. Scientists call it the “Wood Wide Web”, and it’s just one of many clues that suggest something extraordinary: nature may be far more intelligent than we’ve ever imagined. …
Fun Fact: Trees “talk” to each other through underground fungal networks known as the “Wood Wide Web.” We often see forests as peaceful places—good for a hike, a selfie, or maybe some birdwatching. But what if we told you that underneath all that green silence, there’s a bustling social network, a secret community more sophisticated …
Fun fact: Earth has survived five mass extinctions in its 4.5-billion-year history—and it’s still spinning. For decades, we’ve been bombarded with slogans like “Save the Earth” and “Protect the Planet.” But here’s a provocative thought: the Earth doesn’t need saving—we do. The Earth has been through ice ages, asteroid collisions, and continental drift. It’s not …
Fun Fact: India is home to over 20 major rivers — yet nearly 70% of its surface water is contaminated. For a country that reveres rivers as goddesses, we’ve done a poor job protecting them. From the Yamuna foaming with industrial waste to the Godavari gasping for breath in dry summers, India’s rivers are in …
Fun Fact: A single mature tree can absorb up to 22 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per year—but we emit over 36 billion tonnes annually! It sounds like a magical fix: plant enough trees, and we can erase our climate sins. Politicians promise it, corporations flaunt it, and environmental campaigns champion it. But is the …
Fun Fact: India generates over 3.5 million tonnes of plastic waste every year, yet many “eco-friendly” brands still sell products wrapped in layers of plastic. Sustainability is the new buzzword. From “organic” cotton to “biodegradable” packaging and “natural” personal care products, Indian consumers are increasingly drawn to labels that promise a cleaner, greener lifestyle. But …
Imagine a world where farmers are not just food producers but also climate heroes. Welcome to the world of carbon farming, where agriculture becomes a solution to climate change rather than a contributor. In India, where agriculture forms the foundation of the economy, carbon farming presents a game-changing opportunity. By adopting practices that enhance soil …
