15 September - World Cleanup Day

On 15 September, volunteers and partners worldwide will come together to rid our planet of trash – cleaning up litter and mismanaged waste from our beaches, rivers, forests, and streets.

A powerful ‘green wave’ of cleanups will start in New Zealand and end 36 hours later in Hawaii, with millions of people working towards one goal: a clean and healthy planet.

World Cleanup Day harnesses the power of everyday people to achieve incredible things by joining together. Its beauty lies in cooperation and collaboration: building bridges between disparate communities, and including all levels of society - from citizens, to business, to government.

Estonia celebrates its 100th anniversary this year (2018), World Cleanup Day 2018 is the country’s gift to the world.

https://www.worldcleanupday.org/about/


In India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi led a special campaign to spread Swachhata Mission. Many minister and public figures participated along with the Prime Minister to motivate Indians to participate actively in Swachhata Mission 2014-19, a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi.

About the Day

In India 5th September is celebrated as Teachers' day.

5th September is the birthday of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. When Dr. Radhakrishnan became the president of India in 1962, some of his students and friends approached him and requested him to allow them to celebrate 5th September, his "birthday". In reply, Dr, Radhakrishnan said, "instead of celebrating my birthday separately, it would be my proud privilege if September 5 is observed as Teachers' day". The request showed Dr.Radhakrishnan's love for the teaching profession. From then onwards, the day has been observed as Teachers' Day in India.

Born on September 5, 1888, at Tiruttani, 40 miles to the north-east of Madras, Radhakrishnan grew to become the most famous Indian teacher and philosopher of all times. He was also the Vice-President of India from 1952-1962.

Read Dr. Abdul Kalam's speech on the occasion of Teachers' Day in 2003.

World Contraception Day - 26 September

World Contraception Day takes place on September 26th every year. The annual worldwide campaign centers around a vision where every pregnancy is wanted. Launched in 2007, WCD’s mission is to improve awareness of contraception and to enable young people to make informed choices on their sexual and reproductive health.

World Contraception Day is supported by a coalition of 12 international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), governmental organizations and scientific and medical societies with an interest in sexual and reproductive health and is sponsored by Bayer HealthCare.

http://www.your-life.com/en/for-doctors-parents-etc/about-wcd/

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) joins the international community in celebrating World Contraception Day, a global campaign to draw attention to the vast unmet need for contraceptive information and services.  Increasing access to a wide-range of family planning methods enables individuals and couples to determine whether, when, and how often to have children, which has profound health, economic, and social benefits for families and communities.

As a means to improve health and quality of life, USAID advances and supports voluntary family planning and reproductive health programs in nearly 40 countries across the globe. These programs are designed to protect individuals' rights to affordable and quality family planning commodities. USAID has been involved in the development of nearly every contraceptive method on the market today.

International Day of Charity - 5 September

_______________

Charity contributes to the promotion of dialogue, solidarity and mutual understanding ‎among people.‎

Poverty persists in all countries of the world, ‎regardless of their economic, social and cultural situation, particularly in developing countries.

In recognition of the role of charity in alleviating humanitarian crises and human ‎suffering within and among nations, as well as of the efforts of charitable organizations ‎and individuals, including the work of Mother Teresa, the General Assembly of the ‎United Nations in its resolution A/RES/67/105 dated 17 December 2012 document designated the 5th of September, the ‎anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa, as the International Day of Charity.‎

On this International Day of Charity, the United Nations invites all Member States and all international and regional organizations, as well as civil society, including non-governmental organizations and individuals, to commemorate the Day in an appropriate manner, by encouraging charity, including through education and public awareness-raising activities.

Donate time or money, volunteer or act with kindness, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged people around the world as the United Nations marked the first ever International Day of Charity coinciding with the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa.

“Charity plays an important role in upholding the values and advancing the work of the United Nations,” Mr. Ban said in his message for the Day, which will be observed annually on 5 September.

he added. “Let us recognize charity for what it is at heart: a noble enterprise aimed at bettering the human condition.”

At the UN Headquarters in New York, the Permanent Mission of Hungary - in cooperation with the Department of Public Information, the UN Development Programme (UNDP), UN Office for Partnerships (UNOP) and the UN Foundation - is organizing two panel discussions to highlight the importance of non-profit organizations in development. The two discussions will concentrate on the role of charity in water and sanitation, and poverty alleviation and eradication issues.

What can I do to avoid a heart attack or a stroke?

Eat a healthy diet: 

A balanced diet is crucial to a healthy heart and circulation system. This should include plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish and pulses, and restricted salt, sugar and fat intake.

Take regular physical activity:

 At least 30 minutes of regular physical activity every day helps to maintain cardiovascular fitness; at least 60 minutes on most days helps to maintain healthy weight.

Avoid tobacco use: 

Tobacco in every form is very harmful to health - cigarettes, cigars, pipes, or chewable tobacco. Exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke is also dangerous. The risk of heart attack and stroke starts to drop immediately after a person stops using tobacco products, and can drop by as much as half after one year.

44th Engineer's Day - 2011

Theme: Engineering Preparedness for Disaster Mitigation

http://www.ieindia.info/PDF_Images/5%20Statutory%20Days/44th%20Engineers%20Day.pdf

43rd Engineers' Day - 15 September 2010

For this year the Council of the Institution of Engineers India had selected the theme “Impending Paradigm Shift in Engineering Sciences and Future Challenges”.

We are currently at the early but secure and irreversible stages of a remarkable and far reaching technological revolution. The engineering sectors have emerged as a science based knowledge intensive high technology area with serious repercussion for technical change, competitiveness, growth in employment, trade patterns, location of manufacturing activities and global division of labour. Moreover an essential part of the new development is to make attempts to resolve the pressing environmental problems and preserve the global eco-system.

Therefore an overhauling of our approach to meet the new challenges is much required. The agents of change are driving a new paradigm shift today. The signs are all around us. The introduction of the personal computer and the internet impacted both personal and business environments, and is a catalyst for a paradigm Shift. We are shifting from a mechanistic manufacturing industrial society to an organic, service based, information centered society, and increases in technology will continue to impact globally. New issues are emerging as a sequel of this shift in focus.  Multidisciplinary Engineering Sciences integrating the sciences with engineering has created a new demand on the engineering and technological institutions and has consequently brought in New Challenges for them. Change is inevitable. Let’s open the dialogue and let IEI, the premier professional body of Engineers address the issue in its right perspective at the 43rd Engineers Day.

42nd Engineers' Day - September 2009                                                     

 

Green is the theme for this year.

 

As a part of celebration of the day, a central theme of national importance is chosen every year and deliberated at various State and Local Centres as well as the Overseas Chapters of the Institution to educate the society and the engineering community as well. This year the the Institution had chosen the theme ‘Engineering Solutions to Combat Climate Change’.

 

Institute Bulletin On The Theme

 

Climate change has become serious threat to society affecting environment, terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity. Mankind’s relentless and ever increasing consumption of fossil fuels is the major cause behind climate change. Our dependency on carbon based fuels has resulted in rapid increase of atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases, and the outcome is global warming resulting in more frequent severe weather conditions and damage to many natural ecosystems.

 

'Carbon footprint’ which is a measure of the impact of human activities on the amount of greenhouse gases needs to be radically reduced. Companies, products, services have to bear the social responsibility of kicking out carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

 

Combating climate change requires the commercialization of low emission technologies in various sections of application. The engineering fraternity has a special role to play to neutralize the adverse effects on the climate. Efforts should continue for producing power using solar photovoltaic, second generation biofuels, fourth generation nuclear fuels and developing smarter grid capacity for transmission. Conservation of water, efficient management of solid wastes and generating wealth from them by recycling process, figuring out the hot spots of energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions are some of the key areas where the engineers can apply their specialized knowledge for combating climate change.

 

Growth without GHG emission is the need of the day. Application of green technologies, phasing out GHG producing sources and combating the existing effects on climate are the areas of emphasis if the globe is to be saved from extinction.

 

Conservation of natural resources by adopting strategies for reducing, reusing, recycling and applying engineering solutions for combating emission of GHG is the need which requires addressing by engineers.

Varanasi

 

In Varanasi, the local centre of IEI has organised a programme on Tuesday, inviting environmentalist-cum-engineering professor Veer Bhadra Mishra, who is also the president of Sankata Mochan Foundation ( SMF). Mishra is  a retired professor from the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IT-BHU) in the area of fluid mechanics. He has been nominated as a member of the National Ganga River Basin Authority (NGRBA). Mishra was recognised on the United Nations Environmental Global 500 Roll of Honour in 1992 and was a TIME Magazine's Hero of the Planet recipient in 1999 for his work related to cleaning of the Ganga.

 

Dr. Mishra advocates the application of Advanced Integrated Wastewater Oxidation Pond System (AIWPS) technology for the treatment of sewage. His efforts resulted in its inclusion in the second phase of GAP in Varanasi. The AIWPS technology has been developed and designed by W Oswald and his associate Bailey Green at the University of California in Berkeley, US.

He claims that unlike other technologies used in GAP of Varanasi, the AIWPS technology is carbon negative.  It has established the most efficient way to use solar energy for algal photosynthetic oxygen release from the supporting water and discovering the special design requirements to foster pond methane formation. According to him, this technology has been successfully used at many places in California and elsewhere.

AIWPS is a series of four ponds - advance facultative pond (AFP), high rate pond (HRP), algal settling pond (ASP) and maturation pond (MP). The wastewater is screened and de-gritted before it is allowed to go through the AIWPS. In this technology, produced methane gas is purified 85-88 per cent and collected in the submerged gas collectors. The greenhouse gas emission is minimised and carbon dioxide generated during fermentation and electricity generation is absorbed in the pond. The system is designed to grow crop of algae and release a maximum amount of free molecular oxygen in dissolved state (DO) to the surrounding water under controlled conditions. The DO in soluble form goes to bacteria, which break down organic waste.

Some proposals

J Eric Bigel University of Texas and Lee Lane, American Enterprise Institute

 

Boats spray seawater droplets inot clouds above the sea to make them reflect more sunlight back into space. This marine cloud technology costing $9 billion can help to fight global warming.

 

McGill's economist, Chris Green advocates that $100 billion annually commitment to non-carbon based energy research could result in discoveries and technological development that can stop global warming within a century. Technology led effort would have a greater chance of real success and people involvement.
