15. SEVEN BILLION EXPECTATIONS,ONE PLANET
• Ever-growing human demand for resources, however,
is putting tremendous pressure on biodiver­sity. This
threatens the continued provision of ecosystem
services, which not only further threatens biodiversity,
but also our own future security, health and well-
being.
• At our current rate of consumption, the Earth needs
1.5 years to produce and replenish the natural
resources that we consume in a single year.
• The current world population was 7,263,913,077
(check the site www.worldometers.info).

17. THE LIVING PLANET INDEX
 The living planet index reflects changes in the
state of the planet’s biodiversity. The living
planet index con­tinues to show a 28 per cent
global decline in biodiversity health since 1970 .

18. THE LIVING PLANET INDEX
The tropical liv­ing planet index declined
by more than 60 per cent from 1970 to
2008, while the temperate living planet
index increased by 31 per cent over the
same period. Recent average population
rises do not necessarily mean that
temperate ecosystems are in better state
than tropical ecosystems.

19. THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
• The ecological footprint tracks humanity’s demands on the bio­sphere by comparing the
renewable resources people are consuming against the earth’s regenerative capacity,
or biocapacity. Both the ecological footprint and biocapacity are expressed in a
common unit called a global hec­tare, in which one gha represents a biologically
productive hectare with average productivity.

20. THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT(contd.)
• In 2008, the earth’s total
biocapacity was 12.0 billion gha, or
1.8 gha per per­son, while
humanity’s ecological footprint was
18.2 billion gha, or 2.7 gha per
person.

21. THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT(contd.)
• This discrepancy means that we are in an ecological overshoot situation: it is taking 1.5
years for the earth to fully regenerate the renewable resources that people are using in
a single year. Instead of living off the interest, we are eating into our natural capital.

22. COMPONENTS OF ECOLOGICAL
FOOTPRINT(contd.)

23. OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
How many 'Earths' worth of resources do we consume?

24. LINKING BIODIVERSITY, ECOSYSTEM
SERVICES AND PEOPLE
• Biodiversity is vital for human health and livelihoods. Living organisms – plants, animals
and microorganisms – interact to form complex, interconnected webs of ecosystems and
habitats, which in turn supply a myriad of ecosystem services upon which all life
depends. Although technology can replace some ecosystem services and buffer against
their degradation, many cannot be replaced.
• Understanding the interactions between biodiversity, ecosystem services and people is
fundamental to reversing the trends outlined in the previous pages and so safeguarding
the future security, health and well-being of human societies.

27. Introduction
• Is the world getting warmer?
• If so, are the actions of mankind to blame for earth’s
temperature increases?
• What should be done about these issues?

28. History of Earth’s Climate
• Earth formed ~4.6 billion years ago
• Originally very hot
• Sun’s energy output only 70% of present

29. History of Earth’s Climate
• Life appeared ~3.8 billion years ago
• Photosynthesis began 3.5-2.5 billion years ago
• Produced oxygen and removed carbon dioxide and methane
(greenhouse gases)
• Earth went through periods of cooling (“Snowball Earth”) and warming

37. Hunger
Hunger is the uneasy or painful sensation caused by
want of food; craving appetite.
The world produces enough food to feed everyone.
World agriculture produces 17 percent more calories
per person today than it did 30 years ago, despite a
70 percent population increase.

38. The proximate causes are
Poor weather
Low grain reserves
High oil prices

39. Carbon Footprint
A carbon footprint is a measure of
carbon dioxide emissions associated
with an entity's
activities.

40. Effects of Carbon Footprint
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Climate Change
Depletion of Resources

41. Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution involves the accumulation of
plastic products in the environment.

42. Consequences
• Plastic bags pollute
beaches & oceans.
• Plastic bags kill animals.
• Plastic bags effect on
human health.
• Plastic bags are non-biodegradable.

43. Water pollution

44. Indroduction
• Water pollution occurs when harmful substances are released
into the water in large quantities which cause damage to
people, wildlife, or habitat or indirectly into water bodies
without proper treatment to remove harmful compounds.

45. Effects of water pollution
• Water pollution is a major
environmental issue in India.
• The largest source of water
pollution in India is untreated
sewage
• The Ganges River Pollution is now
at such a high level that the
amount of toxins, chemicals and
other dangerous bacteria found in
the river are now almost 3000
times over the limit suggested by
the WHO as 'safe'.

94. ROLE OF AN ENGINEER
“Engineers … are not mere technicians and should not approve or lend their name
to any project that does not promise to be beneficial to man and the advancement
of civilization’’
-John Fowler

96. • An engineer has big role to play as far ecological control is concerned. Engineering is art
of utilizing the great sources of power in nature. It is a very vital organ for the benefit,
convenience and survival of mankind. The branch of engineering involves manpower,
money, materials, machines and energy.
Engineer plays important role towards environmental protection as is evident from the
following points :-
[1]. He can help in selecting such a site which ;
(i) is pollution free
(ii) has less chances of atmosphere pollution
(iii) capacity to absorb pollutants.
(Iv) is gifted with sufficient quantity of pure water.
ROLE OF AN ENGINEER

97. [2]. He can help in layout plan in such a way
that
(i) atmosphere is not polluted.
(ii) pollution, if any, affect very few people.
(iii) pollutants do not move outside the factory
but are absorbed within the space available for
factory.
ROLE OF AN ENGINEER

98. [3]. He can plan out some space within the factory premises for the disposal of poisonous
waste material.
ROLE OF AN ENGINEER

99. [4]. He can plan such a short route of disposal of pollutants in natural stream or
rivers that the habitation and vegetation is least affected.
ROLE OF AN ENGINEER

100. OUR RESPONSIBILITY REVISITED
Carbon sequestration means capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the
atmosphere or capturing anthropogenic (human) CO2 from large-scale stationary
sources like power plants before it is released to the atmosphere. Once captured, the
CO2 gas (or the carbon portion of the CO2) is put into long-term storage.
CO2 sequestration has the potential to significantly reduce the level of carbon that
occurs in the atmosphere as CO2 . There are two major types of CO2 sequestration:
Terrestrial
Geologic
REDUCING CARBON FOOTPRINTS

101. TERRESTRIAL SEQUESTRATION
Terrestrial (or biologic)
sequestration means using
plants to capture CO2 from
the atmosphere and then
storing it as carbon in the
stems and roots of the plants
as well as in the soil.

102. GEOLOGIC SEQUESTRATION
Geologic sequestration is
putting CO2 into long-term
storage in geologic zones
deep underground.

103. 1. SOIL DATA CARD
• Since India is an agricultural country , inorder for it to reach new heights there
should be a boom in the agricultural field.
• Having noticed this, Our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has focused entirely on
soil health management.
• Agriculture minister Mr.Rao proposed to start the massive programme called
‘bhuchetana’.It proposes that every farmer should know the quality of his/her soil
and hence grow only those crops which the soil is suited for. The soil data card that
will be produced will be computerized.

104. SOIL DATA CARD

105. 2. ZERO DEFECT , ZERO EFFECT
• Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "zero defect and zero effect" remark on 15th
August,2014 came as a clear message that the country would not compromise on its
goal of environmental protection. His categorical remark gives a clear message that
the country will move on its low-carbon and sustainable growth trajectory while
adopting clean technology and renewable energy in a big way.

• Blackle is a website powered by google custom search and created by heap media , which
aims to save energy by displaying a black background and using grayish-white font color
for search results.
• "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics,
as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more
power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al,
2002.
• Google gets about “200 million queries” a day. Blackle claims to save about 750-
megawatt-hours a year. Hence,a substantial amount of energy would be saved.
