Preparation of Herbal Mosquito coil


Burning mosquito coils indoors generates smoke that can control mosquitoes effectively. This practice is currently used in numerous households in Asia, Africa, and South America. However, the smoke may contain pollutants of health concern. The emission of formaldehyde from burning one coil can be as high as that released from burning 51 cigarettes.

Preparation of Herbal mosquito coil

Take one kilo of fresh crushed Neem leaves and add one liter of indigenous cow urine (buffalo urine is also good, if you don’t have cow urine). Take two hundred fifty (250) grams of Turmeric powder and mix with properly with the above solution, and then add twenty (20) grams of crushed camphor in to the solution. Take above solution and then add with five kilo of fresh cow dung. Mix properly solution with cow dung and make convenient size and shape and dried in the sunny area for two to three days.

Environment and Development


Sustainable development is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come. The term was used by the Brundtland Commission which coined what has become the most often-quoted definition of sustainable development as development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Sustainable development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social challenges facing humanity. As early as the 1970s "sustainability" was employed to describe economy equilibrium with basic ecological support systems." Ecologists have pointed to and presented the alternative of a “steady state economy” address environmental concerns.
The field of sustainable development can be conceptually broken into three constituent parts: environmental sustainability, economic sustainability, sociopolitical sustainability.

"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts:

· The concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and

· The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs."

How to Plant trees


·       Dig a hole wide and deep enough to cover the root system. It depends on size of the seedlings.
·       Handle seedlings by the base of the stem, taking care not to bruise the bark.
·       Lay the roots straight down the hole in a natural arrangement. Do not bunch, spiral, double-over or bend roots.
·       Keep stones and twigs out of the hole (they create air pockets that dry out roots).
·       Plant seedlings slightly above the root collar swelling.
·       Cover with soil. Do not bury live branches or foliage, or leave any roots exposed to the air.
·       Tamp soil firmly with toe (not the heel) to remove air pockets.
·       Create a mulched area around the tree that is 50 percent larger than the spread of the branches and five to 10 centimeters deep. Wood chips or shredded pine or cedar bark are great mulch, as are oak leaves and pine needles.
