Over decades together, the depletion of ozone layer and its preservation had been the high priority of environmentalists and developed nations and campaigns about educating the masses of the importance of reducing carbon emissions thereby helping the preservation of the ozone layer. Now, there are a lot more issues along with this that has been worrying the environmentalists, one of this being depletion of natural resources and increase in CO2 emissions, pollution, wastage of resources, and so on. With the expected world's population to explode to around 9 billion by 2050, it has become a great concern that people will only have 25% of the resources that were available in 1950. Already, some of the world's natural resources have been depleted and with this growing population, it could lead to a major crisis of the natural resources. It is high time we start saving clean air, fuel sources, water and soil for the future generations along with saving money and assets for them. How many of us agree with this thought? So why throw away things that could be recycled? So what's the wait for. There are a lot of things that we as a common man can bring changes and reforms. Let's GO GREEN, let's get hand in hand, strive to reduce emissions and wastage, encourage recycling and pave way for pure and clean surroundings for our future generations.

DIRECTIONS : Present the data in the form of a folder. The title page shall clearly signify the name of the project and the student submitting it. You should follow the following flow of points during your project work. Try and use pictures and illustrations for a better presentation. What is Go Green? Necessity to Go Green Global warming The international issue The tussle between the developed and the developing nations. Different international norms for Go Green Carbon credits

Benefits of ground water recharging : (i) It ensures water availability in non-rainy seasons. (ii) It reduces chances of blooding during rainy seasons. (iii) Ground water level does not fall as it is regularly recharged. (iv) Water becomes available for drinking as well as irrigation. Coal and Petroleum are fossil fuels. These fossil fuels are energy yielding carbon containing combustible substances formed million of years ago from degradation of vegetation and other organic matter inside the earth under high pressure, heat and anaerobic conditions. Coal and Petroleums are the exhaustible as well as non-renewable resources. We should conserve forests because they not only provide a number of economically important products but also provide shelter to wild animals, protect soil, regulate water flow and climate. Coal is mostly used in thermal power stations while petrol and diesel are employed in motor vehicles, ships and aeroplanes. Find out ways and means to reduce the use of coal and petroleum. (i) Use of alternate source of energy (ii) Avoiding wastage of energy by switching off lights, fans, T.V., radio and domestic gadgets not in use (iii) More efficient heating devices and better internal combustion engines. (iv) Use of compact fluoroscent tubes instead of incandescent bulbs (v) Use energy efficient appliances (vi) Gasohal (petrol + alcohol) instead of gasoline (vii) Hybrid engines (viii) Taking stairs instead of lifts for short distances (ix) Use of public transport of car pool instead of personal vehicles (x) Walking or cycling for short distances (xi) Wearing of an extra sweater instead of using heating device (heater or sigri) during cold days. The major toxic gases are : (1) CO2; (2) Methane; (3) Chloro fluoro carbons (refrigerators, sprays); (4) Nitrous oxide (NO2)
