Despite the continuously deteriorating air quality in the country, air pollution has not become a major topic of national discussion. It is unfortunate that this crucial public health issue neither finds a place in the election manifestos of political parties nor is it addressed sensitively by policymakers. There is also a lack of sufficient public awareness, which prevents citizens from holding their representatives accountable for implementing effective air pollution control policies.

Anthropogenic climate change and biodiversity loss are the most pressing issues for our planet. Carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere continue to rise due to the burning of fossil fuels and land use change, with the latter occurring primarily in the form of animal agriculture and growing crops to feed livestock. Biodiversity loss is greatly enhanced by these climate changes, causing catastrophic threats to nature.

In 1958, geochemist Charles David Keeling set up the Mauna Loa Global Monitoring Laboratory in Hawaii, which measured carbon dioxide (CO2). Keeling believed that CO2 levels were rising and wanted to prove it. Mauna Loa was a perfect location to obtain precise readings since it was located at an elevation of more than 13,000 feet in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. By 1959, the level of CO2 was 316 parts per million volume (ppmV). Since then, the curve has seen an exponential rise.

We are producing so much extra CO2, CH4, and N2O that the natural mechanisms for carbon sequestration are being compromised. There is no bigger threat facing us. In 1958, geochemist Charles David Keeling set up the Mauna Loa Global Monitoring Laboratory in Hawaii, which measured carbon dioxide (CO ). Keeling believed that CO levels were rising and wanted to prove it.

Above photo: Lum3n. Veganic growing seeks to cultivate food for humans. But in a way that benefits all floral and faunal biodiversity, as much as is humanly possible. Nature is complex. Her underground web is as intricate as her above-ground diversity. Below our feet, bacteria, microorganisms, mycorrhizae, and roots of perennial plants work symbiotically, absorbing and moving nutrients to wherever the need arises.
