Successful living tackling Climate Change
[Music]
arise
awake and stop not until the goal is
reached
swami vivekananda
one of the posters here say this and i’m
going to be speaking about climate
change
and also how can you be
how can your goal be to be healthy happy
and successful
climate change is affecting everyone
increasing co2 is also a pollutant
for the human brain increasing co2
levels
increased temperature and this was what
nobel laureate al gore discovered and
won a nobel prize
in his inconvenient truth many years ago
but the important part is that co2
is a pollutant for the human brain
climate change is stacking the death
against
a healthy human being and
heat stress air pollution and
water-borne diseases
are all influenced by climate change
food supply water availability
health infrastructure and cognitive
ability
are all affected and at risk
you’ve heard and seen on tv
about australian fires forest fires
some 3000 homes have been destroyed 33
lives lost
and over 26 million acres
of space raised
co2 is expected to go up to
over 417 ppm by may this year
because of partly because of these fires
un secretary general speaking
in december 2019 said
that when co2 levels go up
beyond 400 ppm it will be
an unthinkable catastrophe
you’ll find that in dalby queensland
australia
experienced floods
in 2010 worst in 30 years
and what is happening is that
various species are being exterminated
and it is also said that by year
2100 50 of the world’s
species will disappear or become extinct
because of climate change
you find in tobasco mexico
this is in april 2009 they had the worst
drought in 2000 close to
60 years droughts affected the wildlife
and livelihoods
lack of water and vegetation during a
drought among
other factors can lead to loss of
livestock and livelihoods
extreme rainfalls dubai
january 2020 it’s a land known for
deserts
and the minister for environment and
climate change said
it was because of global climate change
that this happened imagine that people
could not even reach dubai airport
because of the flooding
it’s practically unthinkable in tamil
nadu in 2015
there were extreme floods and you can
see
for example the highway underwater
in 2019 at least 36 people
died because the temperatures in india
in some plots of india exceeded 50 and a
half degrees
if you notice the climate
the over the last 800 000 years
the co2 levels have not really exceeded
300 ppm
but now they are in 2019 there were 415
ppm
was what was the co2 level
increased co2 not only increases
temperature
resulting in climate change but is a
pollutant for the human brain
which weighs only two percent of the
body weight but uses 20 percent of the
oxygen that we breathe
increase co2 in the atmosphere means
temperature increases that causes
climate change
but a reason finding by harvard
university
is that co2 is a pollutant for the human
brain
and i think this should be noted
especially by people who wish to
succeed in life
there was a study done by harvard
university in 2016.
and it showed that people who
were in a room with six
with co2 under 600 ppm and
tvocs total volatile contents in the air
less than
50 microgram per meter cube could
increase their cognitive abilities
by as much as 299 percent
and this study is available to be seen
at
the cog
question what is cognitive ability
well cognate knowledge is having the
right answer
intelligence is asking the right
questions cognition
is the process of thought or knowing
in this world with 7.6 billion people
there is keen competition to succeed we
need to be healthy
happy smart and maximize our cognitive
ability to succeed in life
my personal experience over 25 years at
the baharpo business center
that now has over 7000 indoor special
plants
is that if you hang around there for
about seven to eight hours you can
increase your blood oxygen levels
by one percent with a 42 probability
pbc’s experience and the harvard
university study
corroborate
we all wish to get ahead in life and
succeed
the average the median age in india is
28.3 years
and everybody wishes to get ahead and
beat competition
whether in college whether at work
whether when
big one becomes 90 plus or
as young students
what is the way to improve your
cognitive ability
the focus should be really on the
bedroom where you have control
because that is where we spend one third
or one fourth of our life
the we must make sure that the tvocs in
the room
are less than 50 microgram per meter
cube
and that the co2 is under 600 ppm
i think we cannot control the place
where we work
or where we commute but we should be
able to see what we can do
to make our bedroom sparse
and with least amount of things no
newspapers magazines etc
which give out vocs
my very popular talk done
in california long beach in 2009
speaks about what i did for myself i’m a
quality pollution survivor from delhi
but also it helped me to
improve the co2 levels and tvocs
unknowingly at that time and now the
harvard university study also points in
the same direction
with three common plants arika palm
mother-in-law’s tongue and money plant
we found and we know that we can grow
all the fresh air
and also keep the tvocs and co2
under control
i put together this pinned down my
thoughts
in a paperback how to grow fresh air
it’s too shorter time to get into detail
but that talks about it
it is not this climate change is not
going unnoticed
it is being heard but here’s the
people’s
climate march in washington dc
in 2017.
time magazine of february 3rd 2020 issue
talks about a youth quake
and it talks about dream big and fight
hard
something like what swamiji said
maybe over a hundred years ago
greta thundberg a swedish teenager and
climate activist
speaking at davos in the world economic
forum
spoke about averting a climate
apocalypse
and she spoke about
the fact that all investments
in fossil fuels
and all subsidies should be eliminated
she’s been nominated for a nobel prize
peace nobel prize by the swedish
parliamentarians now
i suggest humble suggestion for you the
world economic forum davos has taken an
initiative to plant
grow restore and conserve a trillion
trees
by 2030. please do plant
and look after a tree for yourself and
also for your family
thank you for listening and i wish you
good health and success in life
you
