Cleanliness is next to holiness and in order to bring this holiness, we must have that responsibility. As its rightly said that in order to serve GOD, we should serve humanity. The surroundings we live in are clean but there are many areas which have worst conditions. So GeoCool organized a cleanliness drive on 07-08-2010 in one of the similar areas is near Sec 21 Pkl i.e., Azaad Colony which is a slum area. It started at around 7 30am in the morning. Things like brooms, bags (to collect garbage), etc. were carried by us. The area was literally not in a good condition. We started with the cleanliness process. There was a water passage which was almost blacked by the garbage. We cleaned as much of the area as it was possible for us. We even talked to the people living there and spread awareness regarding cleanliness i.e., they should maintain the area in which they are living in so as people dont fall ill because of the unhealthy surroundings. It was a great event and one of the SEVA PROJECTS of GeoCool. We hope it turns to be helpful for the community.

Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill

After 45 days ,Oil Spill continues to take place in the Gulf of Mexico. It happened when thick oil pipe got busted at the bottom of the Ocean leading to the destruction of well and as a result OIL SPILL and it is going at a very rapid rate.
Take a look at the photo below-

What a disaster!!!!!!!!

Destruction

Take a look at this oil sheen-

WORST!!!!!!!!!!

Till now we have lost  21864090 gallons of the oil and all that lost oil has created a oil shell over the sea. I decided to publish a post on this because this is one of the way through which we pollutes our nature (although its by human error but destruction is destruction,it occurs). Share your thoughts about this members as it’s one of the greatest oil spill case and sources said that govt still needs one month more to make a recovery well. So you can think of how much we loose till that 😦

Today i got these pics- Terrible 😦

Surviving in the oil 😦

Increasing Temprature Discussion

Hey guys today i  heard the news that this year earth temp got increases by  0.69 C…  This thing is reported by environment research  organization of America… We can feel that too,Lot of heat outside and still the month of june to come . Earth is becoming red day by day and we need to cool it as soon as possible. So guys list all the measures we should take to cool our Earth in comments and please do not repeat the same. Take a look at this horrible pic too-

That's Horrible

This is a satellite image of Western Greenland, acquired by NASA‘s MODIS satellite. The narrow grey band in the center of the image is melting ice, between the rocky coast to the left (west) and thicker, non-melting, higher altitude ice to the right (east). Small lakes form in this region during the summer. Arrow points to darker grey zone of rapidly thinning ice near the outlet of Jacobshavn glacier, which also loses mass due to iceberg calving.

SUCCESS

DON'T BE MEAN,GO GREEN

ENVIROTHON took place today and it was a huge success.Here’s the story of our success –

15th May – the day we all were waiting for and it finally came… We all were in high spirits in the morning,All gathered at one place ,re-check our all preparations and then went to the school where event took place.  We start the event by holding a meet of student of the school in th hall and told them about the Geocool club,its motives and objectives. Then we told them about various methods that should be adopted to save our planet like cycling,rain water collection,plant a tree etc. To our surprise students out there responded so well that we came to know very soon that its worth to plan such a event with that kind of students.

Then we organized a Painting competition for students who was interested in showing their creativity about how they can save the earth. For those who didn’t paint , we organized a environment Quiz for them. Goodies for people too who answered our questions correctly and prizes for the winners. Next comes the most important tree plantation part. We planted tree within the school ground with the help of school administration. They helped us a lot in getting our job done successfully. Thanx to them for that. At the end principal thanked our club and also invited us to come back and see the progress of the saplings we planted there. Students over there promised us that they would take care of the saplings and would water then regularly. It was totally a new experience and hope in future more opportunities will be there for us to save the earth. After all we went to ccd and gokul restaurant to celebrate our success. Thanx to all the members and school administration and students for making this event a gr8 success.

We will upload the photos soon so that you can also view the happenings that took place there.
