Conservation of Water

“Every drop of water is precious
If we don’t save water now there will be no water in future

There are many ways of  conserving water

1. Take a Shower of 5 Minutes or Less

2. Install a Water-saving Toilet Flush System

3. Turn Off the Tap While Brushing Your Teeth & Washing Your Hands

4. Don’t Keep The Tap Running While Washing Clothes/Utensils

5. Close Taps Properly and Fix Leaking Taps, Pipes & Toilets

 

We can also conserve water by the process of Aquaponics 

 
In this method, the aquarium water which contain ammonia is sent to the plant bed and the plant can utilize the nutrients. After utilizing the nutrients the plant gives out purified water to aquarium.This acts like a cycle. This process is known as Aquaponics. 

Thank you.....

 

Biopod at every home

4. October 2020 Reshma-Rajesh Team Grade 12 Kerala, Project Ideas (3)

Waste management -one of the main problems faced by the human race.What if we could resolve this issue by just adjusting a few things at home. Sounds great right but each one of us would say that it takes up a great deal of time. Not really, even a four-year-old can manage our household wastes with the help of a biopod. Not over, we can use the same adjustments to cut down on our budget. Yes, we can produce some of the basic food products we use daily at home itself by setting aside a portion of our courtyard or even the terrace and making use of the same biopod fertiliser.

Add on we can enjoy fresh fishes as well by just building a small pond in our backyard.No need for fish food we can make use of larvae called black soldiers obtained from biopod as fish food. It can also be used as hen feed  The fish waste in fact can be used as a fertilizer for our food production.A person who has even less than two cents of plot can implement these and switch on to a healthy and self-sustainable, eco-friendly living. And the most important of all we can make these biopods at home at a very low cost. The process is not just a solution for waste management but is also a way to switch on to healthy food free from formalin and pesticides.

Waste management is a global issue and a solution like biopod is cheap as well as easy to implement.

Looking forward to your comments.
