Plastic Pollution: Understanding the Threat of Microplastics

Microplastics- These are the pieces of plastics that are less than 5mm in size and are present in the environment from various sources of plastics. Humans couldn’t have possibly imagined that a simple invention back in 1909, by “Leo Hendrik Baekeland” called the Bakelite (the first synthetic plastic – “phenol formaldehyde resin”), could become a threat to the environment. The commercial success of this product lead to inventions of many more plastics like LDPE, HDPE, PVC, Polystyrene etc.  After this human have accepted plastics so fast that we can easily see how dependent we have become on the plastic.  The global plastic industry in 2020 was valued at 580-billion-dollar industry.

HOPE IS GREATER THAN ANYTHING

Todays blog is about the increasing suicides among students. I was reading the newspaper today and what grabbed my attention is the news that a 16 years old student has committed suicide in Kota who was preparing for her NEET Exams. This is not a single case but over 13,000 students died by in 2021 in India at the rate of more than 35 every day, a rise of 4.5% from the 12,526 deaths in 2020 with 864 out of 10,732 suicides being due to "failure in examination" according to the latest data as per NCRB’s ADSI report 2021. The question what really arises is was it a suicide or was it a murder by the expectations of society? The fact that a 16 years old has lost all the hopes from life is something we all need to think, that as a society we are failing.  What are the factors that have made this rise in suicide rates? 1. The gap between the reality and expectations has increased because of the existence of social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook. We see happy faces, peop...

KADAMBANI GANGULY

  THE FIRST FEMALE DOCTOR OF INDIA Our human society has a norm of following set patterns. We follow pattern in all of our work in all of our habits, in all of our social interactions. And one of the examples that adds to this pattern is to consider women as a weak gender. It’s not a sudden thing that has emerged today but it’s has been there since the beginning of the human society. The basic rules of the society that we follow today has emerged from a patriarchal thinking so naturally women had always been kept at a disadvantage in terms of power, in terms of empowerment. Many women in our history have tried to break this pattern by doing extreme hard work, by facing hard resistance, by overcoming the social stigma of the society and tried to make gender equality a part of this civilization. One such lady was Kadambini Ganguly, the first Women Physician of India at a time when the Indian society used to think women education as an offence. Kadambini Ganguly was born on 18 ...
