• Project Summary
The project “JaizGlobal1928 Clean Earth Movement” and its concepts are dedicated to children below 15 years of age, elderly people above 50 years of age, Expecting Women & students of Engineering and Architecture. One of the major contributors to environmental pollution is waste and debris produced by construction industries. Most of the time very valuable and the project "JaizGlobal1928 Clean Earth Movement" and its concepts are dedicated to children below 15 years of age, elderly people above 50 years of age, Expecting Women & students of Engineering and Architecture. Debris produced by the construction industry is one of the major contributors to environmental pollution, most of the time very valuable and expensive materials are just dumped into the ocean which can be easily recycled, reused, or utilized for various social causes. If the right action is taken and efforts implemented to bring awareness between people, we may able to find the fruitful solution to the deadliest concern on this planet.
As oceans produce almost half of the oxygen it must mandatory to keep them free from pollutants. Due to rapid deforestation earth has already lost most of its green cover reducing oxygen content, where smoke released from an increasing number of industries, hydrocarbon from the petroleum companies and cars, etc. creates more danger not only to human life but for all the species. And rapid urbanization leads to various infrastructures resulting in construction waste. Which more often reaches landfills and oceans creating marine debris. Every species in this universe has equal rights to live healthily and without any abuse, physical trauma, or intentional harm and risk caused by trash, garbage, human-created waste dumped directly in the sea or at the seashore
Fundamentals of the project are as follows;
• Everything in this universe and the human body is made up of five basic elements: Earth, water, fire, air, and space or sky.
• Humans have five basic senses: these basic senses help us to understand and perceive the world around us. Vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch.
• The Basic Principles and ideas are derived from the below context; and extracts of two poems of mine one paragraph each. (Salmalia & Just Like Roses )
The goal & mission of the project is to ensure complete transformation of 3.0 km sea shoreline from polluted coast to most hygienic place safe for all and creating various temporary constructions from marine debris, construction waste, and plants thrown away in dust bins.

• Information on the initial situation (problems, challenges) before the project was implemented.
The Coastline of Nurana island is a man-made island and it's private property but open for public use. This should be one of the world's most unique places where such a huge area is not commercialized. And it is full of abundant nature. But due to construction waste dumped in the sea, waste created by fishing boats and the littering by the beachgoers ends up at seashore creating unhygienic conditions, where the combination of all above creates marine debris and later when it is mixed with seaweed can create serious health issues in children below 5 years & elderly people. It can also cause various types of cancers. Seashore is mostly used for morning and evening walks, swimming, exercises, and various other families out-door activities. Most of the beachgoers usually walk barefoot to take the maximum benefit by walking on sand grains. The basic requirements to combat the covid-19 pandemic were to have good immunity and hygiene, avoid injuries, and having a good respiratory system. Considering the number of footfalls on the coastline this location was chosen. The mission was started on 21st June 2020 and this year is noted as the summer with the highest temperatures. In the beginning, the coast was full of marine debris and the trash resulted from public littering. Covering 3 km of the sea shoreline was not easy as it required just one high tide to bring all the marine debris to shore. It took two months to bring shore in good acceptable shape.
In the Original conceptual program, the design was developed more than 3.5 years before the actual execution started, due to the non-availability of time and to approach volunteers it was difficult to implement the program, However, as the pandemic got worse and worse it allowed finding alternative ways to implement this dream project. And finally, it was decided to be carried out single-handedly. The project theme was later divided into two schemes and four phases are; cleaning of seashore from marine debris and trash created by beachgoers covered under scheme – 1 (Nurana Island clean-up program ), creating artworks through lightweight construction blocks & wood materials, repair and fixing downward cavities in the graded road, and creating public garden road islands at junctions to have a smooth traffic flow covered under scheme-2 (Nurana Island beautification ). Scheme-2 was later sub-divided into various missions, Mission 19th November 2020, Fragrant Flower, Earth the Sun, The Golden Flower and Cloud and the Moon, Prayer of Salmalia, Victory of the Light till 31st January 2021, and will be followed by Night Jasmin and many more later.
Weather conditions, pandemic restrictions, and minimal interactions with the people around were the greatest challenges. Handling heavyweight materials soaked by water & brought to the seashore and pulling them to the graded road manually was very difficult in the initial stages. Where the works are done in two sessions full time ranging from 6 hours minimum to 14 hours maximum depending upon the tasks to be performed. As the days progressed community around started to notice and appreciations also began, at some occasions, some volunteers also joined the movement. Parallelly with the support of the local municipality and the cleaning agency, all the collected marine debris was transported to a designated location for further actions. The contents of this marine debris are non-decomposable materials/items such as plastic, metal, food packaging’s, empty plastic, glass, metal bottles, fishing nets, wooden pieces, children nappies/diapers, cardboard, straws, synthetic ropes and threads, plastic, and metal buckets, utensils, barrels, Wooden pallets with nails and sharp fasteners, seaweed ETC.
Lightweight constriction blocks, plywood pieces, timber pieces, plastic buckets & crates are the most difficult part for the cleaning agencies to pick up and process further. All these items were used to Repair and Refurbishment of Graded Roads, installing curbs, making planters from waste lightweight blocks, and creating a public park, architectural islands for the easy and safe movement of traffic, gardening, Children play areas, Family seating areas, friends’ catch-up areas, Etc.

The exploitation of natural resources is given with the support of local governments, A clear example: The Chocó department that borders the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, rich in biodiversity, metals; it is a clear example of the slave mentality, the abandonment of State, which does not think about equality or equity.

Consequence of all it is necessary to mix the ineffectiveness of the public force that has not been brave enough to stop the war that occurs as a business to climb to a level, then poverty, hunger and lack of opportunities are mixed, it converts the young people on a hook to easy.

Hey members, iam new here but iam proud to be part of this family.

Iam glad to be part of this green community

Nature-based climate solutions currently being widely touted include the restoration of the world’s degraded forests and other ecosystems in order to store more carbon. But while many restoration pledges have been made by many nations via many initiatives, the monitoring and tracking of their success remains murky. This is because effective and accurate ecosystem restoration tracking requires systems for long-term ground-truthing, for measuring carbon storage over decades, and for improvements in biodiversity and the boosting of local economies.

Read more to find out on how initiatives such as the Bonn Challenge’s Restoration Barometer and the Brazilian Restoration and Reforestation Observatory are striding to better establish an accurate system of global ecosystem restoration tracking.

While digitalization comes with many economic benefits, its effect on the environment is often overlooked; digital technologies are fuelling the climate crisis.

However, a different digital future is possible. If used wisely, digital tools can help save the planet by making things more efficient and more environmentally friendly, while improving living standards.

Introducing the vital and wonderful work of the Action for the Climate Emergency...

The climate emergency is here. The world as we know it is running out of time and the window for small, incremental action has closed. Instead, we need an emergency-level response to avert climate catastrophe—and leaders with the courage and mandate to take bold action. Our critical window of opportunity to sound the alarm is ever-narrowing and the time to act is NOW.

We are meeting this moment with boldness and have changed our name to Action for the Climate Emergency (ACE) to better reflect the full breadth of our work. Our evolved mission is to educate, inspire and support young people to lead the fight for their future. We achieve our mission by reaching tens of millions of young people with our programs each year, training a new generation of leaders, amplifying youth voices to shift the narrative, and increasing diverse youth participation in our democracy. 

ACE was founded in 2008 with the visionary (and at the time fringe) belief that to halt a global crisis, the climate movement needed the engagement of young people. Back then, we were told again and again that young people were not a priority because they couldn’t or wouldn’t vote, and couldn’t be organized. How times have changed. With the failure of our leaders to act and an explosion of youth activism and visibility within the movement, our outlying belief in the power of youth is now common knowledge—and to many, our best source of hope.

We believe that ACE has a critical role to play in growing the power of the movement by amplifying the voices and values of young people. When young people call for climate justice, they do so with the moral authority of a generation that will have to live with the choices our leaders make today. Youth voices are not the only ones needed in the global climate movement, but without the power of youth, we simply cannot win.....One thing is clear: we have no time to lose.
