We Can Change

The World Together

Our world is a beautiful place and it has sustained everything living on it for millions of years. Our priority is to keep the diversity of life on the planet safe from the threats of the ecological crisis.

What is Our Aim

The main aim of sustainability is to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It involves maintaining a balance between economic, environmental, and social aspects to ensure long-term well-being for both current and future generations.

Sustainability aims to minimize negative impacts on the environment, promote social equity and justice, and support economic prosperity in a way that does not deplete natural resources or harm ecosystems.

Environmental Facts

each ton of aviation fuel is 3.15 tons of CO2.

The combustion of 1 kilogram (kg) of jet fuel in an aircraft engine produces 3.16 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the volume released per flight is based on a number of factors such as aircraft efficiency and maintenance, distance travelled, the load carried (passengers and cargo), and weather conditions. Although there are several ways of calculating the carbon emissions from a flight, airlines participating in the IATA offset program use a methodology based on IATA Recommended Practice developed and approved by airlines in 2022. That methodology allows airlines to use their own verified data on fuel burn, passenger and cargo weights, seat configurations and load factors. This generates the most accurate calculation of CO2 emissions per passenger yet developed.

There are three major pollutants that come from cars:

  1. Particulate matter — a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets found in the air that contribute to atmospheric haze and can damage your lungs and get into your bloodstream.
  2. Carbon monoxide (CO) — cars emit carbon monoxide when fuel is burned. Breathing air with a high concentration of CO affects critical organs like your heart and brain. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, as much as 95 percent of all CO emissions in cities may come from motor vehicle exhaust.
  3. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) — when fuel burns, nitrogen and oxygen react with each other and form nitrogen oxides (NOx). Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) forms from emissions from cars, trucks, buses, power plants and off-road equipment. Breathing air with a high concentration of NO2 can affect the respiratory system.

Power plants are the largest source of airborne emissions of mercury.

 Every year, pollution from power plants causes fine particle and ground-level ozone-related premature deaths, new asthma cases and asthma exacerbations, heart attacks, and lost school and work days.

These pollutants also harm our natural environment. For example, acid deposition, more commonly known as acid rain, occurs when emissions of SO2 and NOX react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and oxidants to form various acidic compounds. These acidic compounds then fall to earth in either a wet form (rain, snow, and fog) or a dry form (gases, aerosols, and particles). At certain levels, the acidic compounds, including small particles such as sulfates and nitrates, can cause many negative environmental effects including degraded air quality, impaired visibility, and acidified lakes and streams, negatively impacting aquatic life and harming sensitive plants and animals..

How many trees are cut down to make toilet paper?

According to numerous sources, it is estimated that approximately 27,000 trees are cut down each day to make toilet paper, that’s 9.8 million trees a year. This is, however, an estimate, as it is very difficult to determine exactly how many trees are felled for toilet paper alone. According to Statista, consumer data specialists, approximately 127 loo rolls are used per person, per year, which equates to approximately 8.5 billion toilet rolls per annum in the UK alone.

chewing gum can take anywhere from 5 to 1,000 years to decompose.

Though there has yet to be in-depth research on chewing gum’s rate of decomposition, it’s commonly agreed that chewing gum can take anywhere from 5 to 1,000 years to decompose.

This estimate comes from our current understanding of synthetic plastic and rubber. Bacteria and living organisms cannot break down these materials. The only things that can break them down are sheer brute force and UV light from the sun. These forces cause the rubber and plastic to disintegrate over several, if not hundreds of, years into microplastic fragments. 

Used motor oil poses significant risks…

     1.Environmental Impact:

    • Even a small amount of used motor oil can contaminate a vast quantity of water. It only takes one liter to pollute millions of liters of drinking water.

    • When oil enters water bodies, it forms a thin film on the surface, preventing oxygen exchange and harming aquatic life.

  1. Health Hazards for Humans:

    • Used motor oil contains harmful substances, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

    • PAHs are carcinogenic and can lead to cancer, especially if exposure is prolonged or frequent
