Recycle for life..........



Recycle....Recycle....Recycle....These are words we hear every day..How committed are we to this cause?
Some time ago, I was in a meeting with some colleagues and a story was told of a friend of her's who just got out of a Postgraduate recycling class and on getting into her car, drank up the left over content of her pet can and off she flung it...right through the window.... Wooh..

 The question is this? Do literates still engage in such acts? The answer is Yes! How do we send the right messages to others? How do we be that change? How do we spread this recycling message when those who ought to champion this cause are engaged in the same act..?

 Reducing what you use and reusing what you already have matter just as much as recycling and when combined with recycling can make a huge dent on how much ends up in land fills. 

 The ability to know stuffs that can be recycled and those that cannot is paramount in protecting the environment...

Let's change our mentality today! Start seeing garbage itself as a resource..A lot of garbage that cannot be reused can be recycled or transformed into a brand new object!

 Reduce consumption in regards to food waste! Prepare enough for your household and limit the amount that goes into the bin... 
On June 5th 2013,  the United Nations celebrated the World Environment Day in Mongolia. This year's event was themed; Think, Eat and Save and it was centered on reducing foodprint. It was an anti- food waste and food loss campaign. How do we manage food in our houses? 

 According to United Nation's Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, ''One way to narrow the hunger gap and improve the well-being of the most vulnerable is to address the massive loss and waste inherent in today's food system''.

 We must all recognize that the protection and sustainable use of our planet's natural resource is fundamental to creating a safe, secure world for future generations...

 Save our Environment..! Our ability to thrive towards  sustainable Environmental development will help in preserving our environment for future generations....

 Play your Part today! Be the Change...

 Living Healthy...

What do I need to know about Fura de nunu.........

Image
Fura de nunu is a local drink derived from fresh cow milk. It is popular in the northern part of Nigeria and a choice brand for most people.  I've seen quiet a couple of people enjoy this drink but the question is this..How safe is it drinking raw milk from he teats of dairy cows? Is it healthy eating local milk dishes such as fura de nunu which is popularly served in many parts of the country with herdsmen?  Let us not forget that fura de nunu  is made from unpasteurized milk. Is it healthy to indulge then? the answer is a clear NO! Let us take our minds through the entire milking process...During the milking of a cow, the animal sometimes gets irritated and then begins to use its legs to raise dust and dirt..,all these in one way or another find their way back into the bowl of milk. How about considering the fact that as cows graze the fields, they are likely to come in contact with some bacteria and fungi that cling to their body (the teats are not left out) and during m

Manual Handling.......Possible Cause of Backache?

Image
Growing up as a female child ,I was taught to sweep the house bending really low to the ground as I would always recall my mum's constant reminder on the need to sweep the house with the body of the broom and not the tip. A norm common in various homes not just mine..... Backache is a major health issue every where in the world. One third of all work related injuries back ache inclusive is caused by manual handling... Performing house chores and lifting heavy materials at work are one of the many ways through which we can experience these aches. Other ways include improper seating positions at work and sleeping on a rather too soft bed...This is particular important for the aged because as they advance in age ,they require a mattress that would provide all the support for their joints,back and overall body. A good example of such is the Orthopedic Mattress. In performing house chores,vacuum cleaners,long brooms or brushes can be used to avoid bending and twistin
