PLASTOCALYPSE; Life in the Plastic Age Coming to an End?

The most prevalent type of plastic manufactured worldwide is single-use plastic. As a result, there are significant environmental and economic issues. To improve the effectiveness of the ban on single-use plastics in Kerala, it may be necessary to increase education and outreach efforts to ensure that the public is aware of the ban and its importance. This will lead to increased efforts to ensure compliance with the ban and reduce the availability of banned plastics. The following topics are covered in the education material on single-use plastics: history of plastics and single-use plastics; banned single-use plastics; plastics’ recyclability; marine pollution brought on by single-use plastics; health and environmental issues with plastics; microplastics; national and state laws and policies related to plastics; plastic alternatives; and study reports in Kerala.

Carbon Neutral Meenangadi: Assessment & Recomendations

The purpose of this project is to propose sector-wise adaptation and mitigation strategies to develop Meenangadi Panchayat of Wayanad district in Kerala as a ‘Carbon Neutral Panchayat’by carrying out a carbon emission and sequestration analysis in the sectors of Transportation, Energy, Waste, Livestock and AFOLU (Agriculture, Forests and Other Land Use). The concept of ‘Carbon Neutral Community’ puts forth the notions of zero-carbon development and food- energy self-sufficiency at the local government level.

The estimate shows that there was an excess of carbon emissions (Surplus of total emissions over total sequestration in terms of CO2Eq) of 11,412.57 tonnes of CO2Eq in 2016-17.
