Sincerely Yours Earthly...

T he early morning rains have begun! It’s the inception of the never ending raining days that define the usually wet months of June, July and a little part of August before the usual dry spell the breaks the many wet days in this part of the world (Southwest of Nigeria). A typical season well attributed to increased Agricultural activities and which is quite the usual in the rural where the predominant occupation is farming, although with a seemingly set back of poor to little availability of mechanized system which has greatly limited the optimality in expected output considering the percentage of individuals involved and the availability of raw resources of engagement . The usual expectations of of increased food production as envisaged with the rains have in recent times taken a reverse in the known order as the pattern of rainfall has assumed a rather form of irregularity and which has largely induced a level of unpredictability. The uneducated and rural folks who have ...

Photo credit: Encyclical word cloud In the wake of 2015, every pointer was in the direction of a productive year of substantial and unequivocal leap of meaningful development in the wise of global action at tackling the seemingly burdens of concern for the whole of humanity-Sustainable development and climate change. While the habitual records of global imbalanced portrayal of concern has for one represented the accumulating factor of delays and of course the possible reprimanding results of such delays, every hopeful heart that had never tarried at raising a common voice of change envisioned and anticipated a possible event changing year. A year of action it’s been tagged as and from all possible scenario, the potential of the year still depicts a level of certainty in the tune of change of tides. Although the year is already halved and the odds still counts on the side of would it really be the year of final breakthrough? The recently released Encyclicals by the Pope added...

Demonstrating to students the process of transplanting of potted seedlings "we stand at a point in the history of mankind when the possibility of a future free of ecological disasters and climate change related impacts rests so much on the tune of our collective attitudinal predisposition to the changes we need today. We all have a part to play in this for it’s our future in our hands" O vertime, my participation at some international processes and programs has greatly influenced my understanding about the necessity of youths taking active part in the moves for change in the society. Aside from the deep passion towards being part of the move for change, a lot of my motivation comes from the poorly structured societal status of my country, a predominantly developing economy where the orientation towards a total development is largely poor; this in turn has greatly affected the necessary timely interventions needed in the society. And while there are limited openi...

In a world where the trend of events point in the direction of an imminent destruct, it only seems natural to project some sort of options for survival or rather a timely redemption. Perhaps a hopeful twist in the trend could create a possibility of an absolute stand down of every possible endeavor or rather activities of man such that a moment of total tranquility is observed.  A possibility of the re-enactment of a time way older than man, an era when the earth was void of the make believe, time bound and self-destruct modifications men polluted the naturality of our biosphere with, all in the view of being the universally accepted earth bond-superior life forms which overtime has only initiated an array of unrepentant manipulated outcomes and man-adjudged wonders. While of course there exist some specially designated days to reflect and act in total accordance to respected enacted insights of normalcy as portrayed by the higher authorities, in an absolutely suffoca...

Despite the slow pace signature of global yielding and actualization with respect to climate and ecological related interventions, the echoes of awareness raised overtime has in a lot ways recorded a level of tangible impact in today's world. In some way, the perception that obtains in the global dealings may have assumed an unrepentant record of discouraging outlooks but largely, if given a detailed and unbiased study, it will be well noted of the significant impact and range of reach with which every form of information and awareness has spread as regards the problems, causes and the possible means to solving the global issues that plague today's world. The zero emission future envisioning has remained on the frontline of climate activism and a top priority on the listing of adjustable means to a clean future. To making this a reality, fossil fuel has been tagged with a label of total let go such that every form of subsequent energy generation and utilization is free o...

The latest terminology and perhaps a new point of focus for a possible blockbuster break coming from the climate change action hub of many drafts and agenda is the Intentional nationally determined contribution, the INDC . This of course is no news again as the various member countries of the world are scrambling to come up with their relative scripting to ensuring a part in the all new series of saving the world strategy with the main feature of staying below the 2C safety threshold of earth warmth. The expectations are quite high as the brand new series  would be an all complete one, star studded with the big shots( big emitter nations) as usual and of course with the yet to come to the limelight actors ( light carbon footed nations). This time around the scripting is coming in a whole new dimension as each actor nation would have to come up with their most convenient and possible scripting that would fit the parts and roles allotted to each. While each actor nation ...

The slogan for World Environment Day 2015. Source: UNEP The Milky Way Galaxy, a hub of many planetary bodies, each with its own distinctive belt of extraordinary features which largely still elude the human knowledge grasp. However, while there exists the already known and yet to be identified planetary system in this Galaxy, many of them have been deemed void of life at least within the scope of the present age knowledge of the universe. but right in the vastness of space, a speck of life does exists, a living planet that support life in its entirety , the only home of man, Earth. The planet is such that seem to have a faculty of ingenious succession and adaptive capability such that all possible prevailing conditions synonymous to growth all conformed to the collective evolution of a perfect and functional life system. In other words, Nature, as we have come to christen the system has been quite methodological and sequential in the view of provisions of t...
