Having multi hued colors on their wings, they enhance the earth’s beauty incontestably, and add immense aesthetic value to the ambient environment. They accomplish pollination, a key stone ecological process in natural sustainability throughout the world. Being development on vegetation on both as adults and larvae, they involve themselves in complex feeding relationships with green plants. As adults they require a succession of adequate nectar resources. Nectar provides energy for flight, which is vital to find makes and to disperse the species. As larvae, butterflies are typically host specific and often show a “Botanical instinct” in that closely related butterfly species choose closely related plants.

They also collect carbon, balancing harmful byproducts of fossil-fuel burning. They minimize the effects of sun and wind, and they clean the air by catching dust, pollen and other impurities. Planted in the right places around buildings, trees can considerably reduce air-conditioning costs.  Trees increase property value.

The World Water day, observed every year March 22, is a day about focusing attention on the importance of water and the need to preserve it. It is a day that reminds everyone about not wasting one of the most important elements that sustains life on the planet. Today, 2.1 billion people live without safe drinking water at home; affecting health, education and livelihoods around the world. The main reason being damaged ecosystems affect the quantity and quality of water available for human consumption. Take action Wherever you are and whatever you do on March 22, make it about nature and water.

Less than 1% of the water supply on earth can be used as drinking water.  About 6,800 gallons (25,700 liters) of water is required to grow a day's food for a family of four. A person can live about a month without food, but only about a week without water. If a human does not absorb enough water dehydration is the result. Most of the earth's surface water is permanently frozen or salty. If all the world's water were fit into a gallon jug , the fresh water available for us to use would equal only about one tablespoon When water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium, it is called hard water. Hard water is not suited for all purposes water is normally used for. An acre of corn will give off 4,000 gallons (15,000 liters) of water per day in evaporation. A small drip from a faucet can waste as much as 34 gallons or 128 liters of water a day. Of all the water on earth, only 2.5% is fresh water. Fresh water is either groundwater (0,5%), or readily accessible wa...

A Forest is not just the trees, once lost, no amount of trees planting will bring it back. Trees are incredible. They can live for thousands of years and grow hundreds of metres tall.
