Methane gas in climate-crisis
The main components of greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrofluorocarbons, etc. Methane gas is one of the seven most important components of greenhouse gases. Methane emissions are largely responsible for the climate crisis or global warming. As we know, carbon dioxide, chloro fluoro carbon emissions are the main source of ozone depletion in the atmosphere. But scientists have recently changed that idea. According to BBC News, U.S. researchers have warned that if methane emissions are not brought under strict control, the current fight against climate change will not have much effect. Because methane gas can hold up to 30 times the temperature of the atmosphere over a century, compared to carbon dioxide.
Robert Jackson, a scientist and researcher at Stamford University in the United States, says: There are enough reasons behind this. But if we don't look at methane now, that risk will go away. '
From the above analysis we have learned that the effects of methane gas to increase surface temperature and accelerate climate-crisis are very serious. Therefore, scientists have called for efforts to reduce methane emissions quickly.
The main source of methane gas is fossil fuels. Natural gas, industrial waste, burning coal, cow dung, methane gas are emitted at higher rates from waste disposal. We have also come to know about the production of methane gas from paddy plants and water bodies. However, it is not yet known how harmful that rate is. However, it is known that the presence of methane gas in the sky of Bangladesh. It came up in a study by a Paris-based organization called Cairo SOS on 6.4.2021. On the other hand, on 25.4.2021, quoting GHGSAT, the influential US media 'Bloomberg' reported in a report that the garbage dump in Matuail, the capital of Bangladesh, is one of the hotspots for methane gas emissions! Of course, there is little debate on the issue.It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. So we are not going into that debate for now. Rather we are trying to learn about the harmful aspects of methane gas. Studies have shown that methane gas is one of the most harmful greenhouse gases. Methane gas is the gas that is produced by the decomposition of various organic substances. This gas is being produced in almost every country in the world. Bangladesh is not solely responsible for this; Methane is also being produced from countries that are producing rice. Methane is being released as a result of the bacteria in the soil producing huge amount of gas while irrigating the paddy field. In addition, industrial wastes, cracks in natural gas lines, polluted fumes, and mineral fuels are increasing methane levels. Which is spreading in the wind.
But no matter how methane gas spreads, it needs to be brought under control. We have to be diligent. Because it is a very deadly gas. As a result of its circulation in the atmosphere, the environment is being severely damaged.It is known that in the last 20 years, methane gas has caused 70 times more damage to the environment than carbon dioxide. As the ozone layer is being damaged, so is the climate crisis; The effects of methane are also increasing global warming. Not only that, but because of the effects of methane, deer, a species of reindeer in the Arctic region, are becoming smaller and smaller, losing weight and dying at an early age. Many species of animals around the world are under threat today due to increasing methane emissions. After reviewing and researching various issues, scientists have made it clear that methane emissions need to be reduced rapidly. They have set a target to ensure that the temperature of the atmosphere does not rise more than two degrees Celsius from the current level. Otherwise, the world will face a crisis due to the collapse of the glacier, as well as the sea level will rise and the lowlands will be submerged in water - Bangladesh is one of them. So we play a role in preventing global warming by controlling waste disposal and the use of fossil fuels. At the same time, we are hopeful that scientists will find a quick way to reduce the rate of methane emissions to zero in agriculture and cattle rearing. Because, in order for a person to survive, he has to think about his food security first; Then another issue.
The importance of Milk in maintaining good health is immense
**Every** mother want their children to be in milk or rice. The number of people who did not drink milk in childhood is rare. In our childhood, my mother used to feed us milk and rice without much caress; But over time, that habit of breastfeeding no longer lasts. Most people in our country think that there is no need to give milk and food after the age of four or five. After this age, they put more emphasis on fish and meat.
But milk is not just baby food, it is a highly nutritious food for people of all ages. Milk is a super food. Milk contains six important components of the diet — sugars, meats or proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. Milk and milk products have a special place in the world as a balanced diet. In order to build a disease-resistant nation, we have to develop the habit of drinking milk. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been observing World Milk Day on June 1 every year since 2001 to raise awareness among the people about the various benefits of milk and dairy products and to highlight the importance of milk as food. The day is celebrated with the aim of creating opportunities for growth in the dairy sector.
There is no substitute for drinking milk for wellness. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an adult should drink 250 ml of milk per day, according to the Department of Livestock, the per capita milk availability in the country is 165 ml. So we have to depend on imported powdered milk to meet the rest of the demand.
21 percent of the total employment in the country and 6 percent of the total meat comes from the dairy sector. The dairy sector is contributing to the nutrition, food security and poverty alleviation of the people of the country, which is undeniable. Yogurt, buttermilk, lamb, butter, ghee, cheese, ice cream, chocolate and other delicacies are prepared from milk. Dairy products sour yogurt is a source of probiotics. Probiotics prevent various types of tumors. Also the sulfur, protein, saturated fat in cheese is very beneficial for cancer patients.
Milk and dairy foods contain calcium, potassium, manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc, iodine, phosphorus, protein, amino acids, vitamin-A, vitamin-D, vitamin B-12, niacin and riboflavin. And enhances immunity. Light hot milk is good for increasing digestion and cold milk is good for reducing fat.
Calcium and Vitamin-D prevent bone and tooth decay and strengthen teeth. Tryptophan in milk as serotonin provides energy to the body. Potassium does not increase blood pressure. Vitamins, minerals increase fitness and reduce stress. Eating milk reduces weight, cholesterol is under control, blood circulation increases.Milk keeps our bones, muscles, teeth well, improves the skin. Cow's milk is considered to be the most beneficial after mother's milk. 100 ml of cow's milk has 6 calories. Cow's milk contains 7.5 percent water, 4.6 percent lactose, 4.5 percent fat, 3.5 percent protein, and 0.6 percent vitamins and minerals.
Milk is the most nutritious food in the human diet. That is why milk and dairy products should never be left out of the food list. Make it a habit to drink milk regularly and become healthy.

Brain tumors and awareness
Today, June 8, World Brain Tumor Day, has been celebrated since 2000 with the aim of raising the courage, empathy and awareness of patients with brain tumors.
Tumors are abnormal cells or tissues in the body that grow much more uncontrollably than normal. These cells cannot coordinate with other cells. There are two types of tumors- 1. Benign tumors: With a little treatment, this problem can be cured. The tumor is covered by a single covering, but it grows slowly and heals with surgery. 2. Malignant tumors are malignant and dangerous. Cancer is also a type of malignant tumor. Naturally, cancer is not covered by any covering, which makes it grow uncontrollably and irregularly. Spreads through the blood to other parts of the body. Most cancers get better with early treatment. However, there is a risk of recurrence. That's why you have to take treatment for a long time.
As soon as these symptoms appear, consult a doctor and follow the doctor's advice. Many times even though it is a tumor, the common man does not take any action due to unconsciousness. But later on, it turns into cancer and there is no way out. Tumors can occur at any age, anyone.Some of the factors that increase the risk of these tumors include the involvement of a number of inherited conditions, known as neurofibromatosis. Exposure to various chemicals, such as vinyl chloride, Epstein-Barr virus, and ionized radioactivity, can also cause tumors.Even if someone in the family has been there before, there is a risk that someone will be in that family next time. However, in less than 10 percent of cases, it spreads from generation to generation. So if someone in the family has had a tumor before, then they need to move with awareness. Be careful in advance about how to reduce the tumor.
There is no way to prevent a brain tumor in advance, unless it is diagnosed. However, it is possible to reduce the risk by keeping the brain active. To increase the strength of the brain, you need to follow certain rules, such as not being suddenly agitated, taking enough time to assess the situation, judging everything by reasoning, exercising regularly, drinking plenty of water, trying to be happy all the time , Try to get a moderate amount of sleep, stay at work, and keep yourself stress free. And in this way, as the strength of the brain increases, so will the immunity. We can stay risk-free and healthy only through awareness and moderate sleep and nutritious food, not panic or fear.
Environmental pollution and awareness in our locality
For any animal to survive, it is important to protect its own environment. Several mild earthquakes were felt in Sylhet last Saturday. Terrifyingly, the epicenter of Saturday's quake was in Sylhet. Although no major damage was reported, several buildings were reported to have collapsed.
Tomorrow is World Environment Day. This year's theme is 'Restoring the Ecosystem'. People who are aware of this need to come forward. We have to play a role in protecting the environment from our respective positions. We have activities around the day. Hundreds of trees are planted every year. But no further inquiries were made later. As a result, we continue to plant trees in the same place every year, afforestation is no more. So not only does the tree need to be planted, it also needs proper care. No clean-up operation was observed on the occasion of the day. We should keep our responsibilities clean.
Protecting the environment is a big challenge in this age of polythene and plastics. The Corona situation has taught us how important it is to stay clean. How important nature is to us. Nature plays an important role in increasing the body's resistance to disease. But our water is polluted, the air is polluted, the surroundings are polluted, we can't walk on the streets because of the stench. The methane gas recently found in the capital Dhaka carries the message of our environmental catastrophe.The image of methane gas in the sky of Dhaka taken from a satellite published on a website has frightened us. According to a report published in Bloomberg Media this year, Bangladesh is one of the countries most at risk due to climate change. Where a lot of methane gas is being generated. Sources of this gas include paddy fields, waste disposal, coal reserves, natural gas leaks through pipeline holes. Reducing methane emissions is urgently needed to tackle climate change, according to a United Nations report.
Although it is suggested to put nets at the mouths of the canals connected to the rivers to keep the various rivers of the country free of polythene, it is not being accepted. Natural disasters cannot be avoided. But everyone will agree that the cause of the disaster should not be. Sylhet was once a hill / tiller mine. The land grabbers have cut the hills at night and made the plains. However, the government is making regular efforts to increase environmental awareness.
Area-based activities can be carried out with the teachers and students of each educational institution without looking at the Department of Environment. If the environment of each area is pollution free, the whole country will be pollution free. A house can turn a house into a garden like a farm. We can keep our surroundings clean, we can plant trees; Only then will the peace of nature be maintained. If every human being fulfills his own responsibilities, then our country will have a prosperous and prosperous grain.
Climate change : Today is the time to take action to save the world, not tomorrow.
The temperature of the earth is increasing day by day. Suddenly the temperature in Europe has started rising since the eighties. Natural disasters are happening all over the world. Extreme levels of storms, cyclones, tidal surges, abnormal snowfalls, volcanic eruptions, heavy rainfall, and droughts are increasing in East Asian countries and in the Americas. Excessive carbon dioxide emissions are being blamed for this unusual behavior of nature. There is no adequate response from the developed states and those responsible for carbon emissions to protect against its effects. The situation is getting worse and worse. That is why, on April 22, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, at the Virtual Climate Conference convened by US President Joe Biden, emphasized the need for action plans to keep global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius and the exchange of carbon emissions technology between the green economy and countries.
In fact, the effects of climate change are very visible. Desert is a vast expanse of uninhabited hot sand dunes. But this traditional form is changing. Scientists have found green in the Sahara Desert. Tree growth is also seen in the icy continent of Antarctica. The arrival of green in the desert and snow-covered white land is making environmentalists think a little! As we have seen in our childhood, no matter how cold it gets in winter, the morning sun slowly clears the fog and shines in the sky. And now in winter the sun is not visible day after day. The memory of sunbathing in winter may not even be in the minds of today's generation of children. Winter, summer, rain seems to be turning upside down.
From the general public to the conscious people, I think there are states, the United Nations, multinational organizations and experts to think about climate change or these issues, it is their business. It has nothing to do with ordinary people like us. But individual initiative is also important in mitigating the effects of climate change and pulling the reins of climate change.
The use of such plastic products has become a part of our way of life. From toothbrushes, cotton buds to dishes, roof water tanks are all made of plastic. About 5 lakh plastic bottles are being sold every minute in the world. Just as this plastic has made our lives easier, so have its side effects endangered all the animals, the environment and above all the earth.Farmers' farmland, ponds, roads are full of plastic waste. In Dhaka city alone, 12 million plastic bag are being dumped in ponds, ditches, rivers and seas every day. According to BBC News, 6 million tons of plastic waste is dumped in the world every year, and by 2050 this figure will rise to 13 million tons per year. This is not the end of the polythene, plastic bag, lakes, lying on the roads, waterlogging and adverse effects on the environment.These plastic bags and polythene that have fallen into the sea are slowly changing the course of the sea, which in turn is accelerating climate change.
Instead of the plastic products we use for household and other needs, we have to take initiative to use tin, aluminum, steel and, if necessary, earthenware. It will protect individuals and families as well as involve themselves in maintaining the balance of climate and nature. In order to reduce the price of alternative plastic products, it is necessary to provide easy loans to the concerned entrepreneurs. Individuals or families who can minimize the use of plastic products will need to be rewarded and encouraged by the government. Reducing the use of AC or refrigerator can reduce the amount of greenhouse gases.
According to a study by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, bags used to carry groceries take 20 years to blend into nature.Plastics used for tea, coffee, juice, or soft drinks last 50 years, and diapers and plastic bottles last up to 450 years. Man-made factors are now more important than natural causes of climate change, and the level of plastic waste is only increasing.
We all know that trees, plants and herbs play a big role in surviving the evils of climate change and pulling the reins of climate change. The planting of trees in state, social, family and private initiatives has been started for a long time. Trees are being planted in roads, offices, courts, houses and vacant lots. Social forestry activities are also going on quite vigorously. Roof garden activities have also gained wide popularity in urban areas for some time now. But it is playing a big role in preventing air pollution in urban areas.
The amount of food wasted in the world every year is used to produce 1.4 billion hectares of land, which is 26 percent of the world's total agricultural land. In the production of this surplus and wasted food, agricultural land is being increased by destroying the forest land, which is accelerating the environmental pollution and climate change. Every year, 3.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide is released into the air due to wasted food. Dirt, phlegm and spitting around the house affects the environment and climate. These issues may seem insignificant and insignificant when viewed in isolation and separately, but how extensive and far-reaching is the overall sum of the careless behavior of a fraction of the world's 600 billion people?
Many countries around the world are adopting various plans and pilot projects to prevent climate disasters. Saudi Arabia has taken the initiative to build a city of 26,500 square kilometers with all kinds of pollution-free state-of-the-art facilities, including carbon emissions. It will take 10 years to build. No cars will run in this completely pollution free city, this city will be a business hub with employment and modern facilities for about 34 lakh people!
In October last year, the Prime Minister said at the Midnight Survival Deadline for the Climate Leaders' Event at the Climate Damage Forum, “Today is the most important turning point in our time. The adverse effects of climate change are damaging our civilization, destroying our planet and threatening our very existence. Today is the time to take action to save the world, not tomorrow. '
Parents try to keep the child well from themselves
Adolescents from poor, low-income, uneducated and neglected sections of society are more likely to be involved in crimes such as theft, robbery, pickpocketing, drug use, etc. In addition to the recent juvenile delinquency, school-college children from wealthy, educated and elite families are also seen to be involved in various crimes including drug use, rape and murder. In the early stages, many of them are involved in crime without knowing or understanding the consequences. Gradually their courage and level of crime continued to rise. Then they can't come back from that situation easily. In this way, teenage gangs are being formed everywhere in the cities and villages, which is a thunder signal for the nation. While the extreme erosion of family values is considered to be the main cause of juvenile delinquency, the current chaotic society, lack of good governance, corruption, easy availability of drugs, misuse of internet, etc. are largely responsible. Juvenile delinquency should not only be considered as a family problem but also as a national problem and a solution should be found. Everyone must come forward regardless of party affiliation to save our future generation from destruction. Awareness should be created in the society by forming 'Juvenile Crime Control' committee with public representatives, teachers, social workers, parents and children, adolescents and youth in every part of the country. In addition to creating family, social and human values, children and adolescents need to be informed about the dire future of the criminal world.
Every family should be aware of the importance of the welfare of the child first of all. At present, parents and family members are becoming more and more indifferent to their children as they try to earn more money. The child is also being deprived of family happiness, affection, tenderness, affection and love. They enjoy going out and spending time with friends. And parents are trying to show their love and responsibility by spending more money than they need. This extra money is the cause of the child's demise. In addition, marital discord is having a devastating effect on a child's mental state. In many cases, the mother or father or both are directly or indirectly involved in various immoral or criminal acts, which can also make the child vulnerable. Therefore, parents and family members should be restrained by thinking about the future of the child. We have to maintain family and human values among ourselves. We have to avoid thinking of building a happy and beautiful future for ourselves, our family or our children with the money earned in a wrong way. We have to try to keep the child well from ourselves. We need to keep in mind that the family environment affects the child the most.
Milk from microorganisms.!
World Milk Day is observed on June 1 every year. The day has been observed since 2001 at the initiative of the United Nations World Food and Agriculture Organization.
The first thing that mammals, especially human babies, demand right after birth is breast milk, so with the nutritious, liquid and digestible food that humans are introduced to early in life. And at the beginning of this year, the scientists gave the amazing news. That is, cows will no longer be needed for milk. In the future, unicellular microorganisms will be the main source of milk! Professor Tamir Tool of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Tel Aviv and food technology entrepreneur Ayal Ifargan, the two have created a surprise by inventing the technology to produce milk from the unicellular fungus yeast. Considering the color, smell, taste and structure of the milk along with the nutrients, the milk produced by the microorganisms does not go any less. Moreover, this milk is free from bad cholesterol and allergens. They said that by adding some more nutrients, it can be made better for health. This milk can be used to make high quality cheese.
Although the main source of milk in the near future is unicellular microorganisms, certain species of yeast used in milk production are very safe. Bakery and beer, the use of safe yeast in making alcohol has been around since the beginning of civilization. They grow in sweet juices of ripe fruits, sugarcane, dates, palms etc. and can breed very fast. Moreover, the additional advantage of production from microorganisms is that it is time-saving and can be produced as expected in a short time. You don't have to depend on the weather. And extensive grazing, agricultural land, labor and Water is not required; Eco-friendly.
Milk occupies an important place in our diet. But the lack of such food is becoming evident day by day. Production is not increasing by coping with demand. Milk production in New Zealand, the European Union and the United States, the three major milk exporters in the world, is not increasing. Although India tops the list of milk producers, it is not able to export milk commercially. Because almost all of the milk produced as consumers has to be kept for themselves. Cows are the source of 81% of the total milk production of about 75 crore metric tons of milk produced every year for the 600 million people of the world today. After that 15 percent milk comes from buffalo. The remaining 4 percent of milk is sourced from other animals such as sheep, goats, camels, donkeys, etc. By 2050, more than 200 crore People are going to be added to the current population. It will be very impossible for the growing population to produce extra milk. Because animal husbandry for milk, animal feed production will not be environmentally friendly at all.
The scarcity of clean water, arable land and a major source of livelihood, has begun to show. Moreover, methane gas produced by cows and buffaloes accelerates climate change. Which is not desirable at the moment.
Moreover, as much as our world produces renewable natural resources for human consumption every year, on August 22, 2020, we, the people of the world, have exhausted it. As a result, we had to spend the remaining four months of the year on credit. That is what the Global Footprint Network said. Considering these factors, biotechnologists are looking for alternative sources of milk.
Biotechnologists are showing the light of hope in producing incomparable milk from microorganisms in taste, smell and nutrition. Let milk be readily available to all the people of the world — this is the wish on World Milk Day today.

Man's Mercy, Nature's Revenge.
As much as man and nature complement each other, the coronavirus virus is proving to be a fiery test. This assessment by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) therefore raises the question in another context: which of the following is desirable in human behavior, human behavior or human quality? It is his humanity that draws the line of difference between human beings and other animals in indelible ink. So while the human motive behind the desire to survive is true, compassion for other creatures, compassion for nature is the proof of his superiority. But the reality is that people are holding this document in one hand and holding it in the other hand.
If it weren't for that, two-thirds of the wildlife wouldn't be lost in the last five decades. The WWF is bluntly saying that people are destroying nature and the environment indiscriminately, mercilessly. They have cut down the forest and built settlements, built environmentally destructive factories. He earned money by selling wood. Now, at this rate in which people are addicted to nature, breaking all past records.
Since 2000,Till now 1.9 million miles of forest has been lost, which is eight times the size of Britain. One million species of animals have reached the brink of extinction. 1.3 billion tons of food is being wasted every year. As a result, the economy is worth 1 trillion dollars. According to a study by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world is on the verge of losing 32,000 species out of 100,000 species of animals and plants.
The whole ecosystem that has collapsed as a result of such ‘inferior’ actions of the ‘best’ people is as real as two minus two equal zeros. But human life also depends on ecosystems. We risk not only our own health, safety and financial well-being, but also our chances of surviving on Earth, and when will we realize this? Desperate nature sent ‘time is running out’, will we not regain consciousness even in the face of adversity?
But when words don't work, you have to take a different path. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has already begun to view environmental destruction as a crime against humanity. He will make the forest-forest hops, take away the features of the agricultural land, block the course of the river, do all these things for the sake of development and you will not get relief. The ICC, based in The Hague in the Netherlands, is now open for the trial of environmentalists and land-river-forest occupiers. Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori has already been tried by the ICC for allegedly destroying the environment.Since his misdeeds predate the founding of the ICC (2002), he is currently on the run. In other words, war crimes, genocide, human traffickers as well as environmentalists are now criminals in the eyes of the court. He who does not have blood stains on his hands, who may not have killed an animal with his own hands, it is difficult to identify him as a criminal. So if life is endangered because of your irrational decision or selfish position, then don't you deserve punishment? Get punished from now on.
The ICC considers not only the destruction of the environment and land grabbing, but also the loss of cultural monuments and world heritage sites a crime against humanity. Hopefully, Mali's militant leader Ahmed al-Faki al-Mahdi has been sentenced to nine years in prison for the crime. He demolished the monuments of Timbuktu, a UN World Heritage Site, in 2012.
The ICC convicted him of war crimes in 2016. However, there is a parliament in Chittagong's Chunti Sanctuary
It is clear from the recommendation to build a member's residence, we are still stuck in the circle of personal gain. About 300 occupants have already set foot in the 99 sq km Chunti Sanctuary in Banshkhali, Lohagarh and Satkania Upazilas of Chittagong and Chakaria Upazila of Cox's Bazar, which is well-known for its centenary.
The number of forest land grabbers in the country as a whole is 1 lakh 80 thousand 57 people. The protected forest has also been destroyed by 6,215 people. What has not been done in the place of forest-forest - industries, markets, shops, educational institutions, cottages, farms, resorts, houses. In all, about 4 lakh acres of forest have been wiped out and wiped out, but not overnight; Being in front of everyone's eyes day after day.
We may be ready to step out of the confines of our own small profit when there is no safe place left for us to set foot in the courtyard of nature! The punishment of the court can also be avoided, the jury will not work in the face of the revenge of nature.
