Roses are real for the country Finland that has managed to keep its No. 1 ranking for eight years running. The 13 th  edition of the annual report marks the United Nations International Day of Happiness on March 20.  In the world, declining happiness and social trust have contributed significantly to the rise of political polarization and votes against “the system. But in positive sense, global research shows that people are much kinder than we expect. The report looks at six key variables to help explain life evaluations: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and perceptions of corruption. When it comes to happiness, the Nordic countries are clearly doing a lot of things right. For the eighth year in a row, Finland is the world’s happiest country, with its neighbors clustered close behind. “Nordic countries like Finland continue to benefit from universally available and high-quality health, education and social support systems. Inequalit...

Our childhood friends comprises of small sparrows that runs for grains and we run behind the. The sparrows were an inseparable part of our surroundings, while at current time the sparrow population has drastically reduced over the years. The declining population of these tiny birds is a matter of concern as they are the natural pest control – feeding on insects and helping in pest regulation.    Hence, World Sparrow Day is celebrated every year on March 20 to raise awareness about the declining population of the avian species and the need to protect them.   The population of sparrows dropped significantly in the last two decades and WWF India reported a decline in nearly every city. World Sparrow Day 2025: History First celebrated in 2010, the World Sparrow Day was the brainchild of The Nature Forever Society of India and the Eco-Sys Action Foundation of France. The day is dedicated to raising awareness about sparrow conservation and generating ideas on the species’ conse...

Every time I look around at the piles of plastic waste accumulating in landfills or washing up on shores, I feel a growing responsibility to embrace alternatives that reduce harm to our planet. One of the most impactful areas where we can create change is packaging. By switching to green, sustainable packaging, we can not only reduce environmental degradation but also inspire others to make eco-conscious choices. Let’s explore some amazing examples of green packaging that are paving the way for a more sustainable future. Green packaging isn’t just a trend; it’s a movement toward a cleaner, healthier planet. With the rise of plant-based materials, compostable packaging, and reusable solutions, companies are stepping up to provide innovative alternatives to conventional plastic. These options help reduce waste, lower carbon footprints, and align with zero-waste lifestyles. . Green Packaging Examples That Are Changing the Game As more individuals and businesses prioritize eco-friendly liv...

Putting the beads close together increases electricity generation through triboelectrification, similarly to the static energy created when rubbing a balloon on hair. The world’s energy demand is continuously increasing, with fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas, coal, oil shales, tar sands, bitumens, and heavy oils remaining the primary source. These, however, release massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) when burned, making them the leading cause of climate change. This, in turn, fuels global warming, alters weather patterns, worsens natural disasters, and endangers both ecosystems and human health. With global energy consumption projected to rise by 50% from 2005 to 2030, it’s no surprise that researchers are increasingly seeking alternative energy sources to meet demand while reducing environmental impact. Now, in a bid to address rising energy demand, researchers have come up with an unconventional way to produce electricity by using tiny plastic beads. When positioned ne...

The valiant player of life is TIME. Almost everything aligns or displaces with a second of time. two important thing that universe also stresses to work on is TIME and ENERGY. Entire philosophy and science revolves around these two things only. The quote Time is a missing person, sending cryptic postcards from the past, is essence that enlightens how time diverts attention and mysteriously playing with our emotions of happiness and sadness. This quote is a though provoking metaphor that suggests time is elusive, and our memories and experiences are fragmented echoes of the past. We should leave our past and start living our present, but the devil time never allows us to abandon our past experiences.                         Time can be seen as a missing person, whose absence is deeply felt in our lives :-  The lost things usually receives paramount attention. Staying in past is speciality of humans. Succumbed to ...

Wastewater pollution and energy scarcity are two critical challenges affecting cities and rural communities alike. Traditional wastewater treatment plants are energy-intensive and costly, making them inaccessible to many regions. But what if wastewater could be used to generate electricity while being purified?  The researchers from the department of civil engineering of the Morgan State University, United States discussed the game-changing approach to wastewater treatment, turning an environmental challenge into an opportunity for clean energy and sustainability. Nature’s power plant The paper discussed constructed wetland as an engineered ecosystem designed to replicate natural wetlands, utilising aquatic plants and microorganisms to filter contaminants from wastewater. By incorporating a microbial fuel cell into this system, the technology enhanced wastewater treatment while simultaneously generating clean energy. The procedure is described as wastewater flowing into the wetland...

Every other day, listening about any news related to freebies brings ample of stress and strain, because even a common man understand how badly ecomomy impacts with such freebies schemes. Easy come easy go, a very profound saying says it all, distributing funds through freebies rarely reaches to the needy one. And if reaches then also, it affects their mentality in a way that stumbles them to work and deprive of any specific work and skills turning youth to useless creatures. Sympathies never ever earns better results than empathy.  Concerns from big and intellectuals about the freebies  @ Not freebies but job creation with innovation to erase poverty: Infosys founder Narayana Murthy @ Freebies are never ‘free’ and when political parties offer such schemes, they must be required to make the financing and trade-offs clear to voters, RBI Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) Member Ashima Goyal said, adding this would reduce the temptation towards “competitive populism”  @ People...
