Report on research topic of Environmental Excellence - for Bee'ah's e-magazine project THE GREEN CRUSADER

This magazine is a "Community" based "Educational" project on Environmental Sustenance and I have tried to highlight the current issues, UAE governments initiatives and some suggestions and mitigation steps as foreseen by me. I have entitled this magazine as "THE GREEN CRUSADER", which essentially intends to be "THE GREEN REFORMER" and is a small step towards creating the paradigm shift to a perspective of a better future. The perspicacity of UAE government, the clarity in their vision for a green future and the limpid approach has generated a great interest and success in the field of Environmental Sustenance, likewise this project showcases the audacity of youth like me to dream for a quantum leap towards a green and clean future with nonchalance. This is my project made for Bee'ah's Environmental Excellence School Award , made through India International School Sharjah. This is a humble attempt from me, which may look puerile or many a times rodomontade while flipping through the pages, is my dedication to the UAE government, Bee'ah, IIS Sharjah and to all those minds who have kept believing in me always. Thanks to all who have supported me unhesitatingly and undemandingly, I will cherish this project for many years to come, also this has definitely changed my views towards climate change and the affect it has on each and everyone of us. Last but not the least, I do wish to become a green ambassador for the entire young generation and tirelessly work to create a greener future for us as well as for the generations to come - Archita Amol Panicker.

This <strong>magazine</strong> is a "Community" based<br />

"Educati<strong>on</strong>al" <strong>project</strong> <strong>on</strong> Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Sustenance<br />

and I have tried to highlight the current issues, UAE<br />

governments initiatives and some suggesti<strong>on</strong>s and<br />

mitigati<strong>on</strong> steps as <strong>for</strong>eseen by me. I have entitled<br />

this <strong>magazine</strong> as "<strong>THE</strong> <strong>GREEN</strong> <strong>CRUSADER</strong>",<br />

which essentially intends to be "<strong>THE</strong> <strong>GREEN</strong><br />

REFORMER" and is a small step towards creating<br />

the paradigm shift to a perspective <strong>of</strong> a better<br />

future. The perspicacity <strong>of</strong> UAE government, the<br />

clarity in their visi<strong>on</strong> <strong>for</strong> a green future and the<br />

limpid approach has generated a great interest and<br />

success in the field <strong>of</strong> Envir<strong>on</strong>mental Sustenance,<br />

likewise this <strong>project</strong> showcases the audacity <strong>of</strong> youth<br />

like me to dream <strong>for</strong> a quantum leap towards a<br />

green and clean future with n<strong>on</strong>chalance.<br />

The year 2020 was an un<strong>for</strong>gettable year <strong>for</strong> the<br />

entire mankind and was equally challenging to UAE<br />

as well. But as always UAE has stood up to all the<br />

challenges and proved to the entire world that we can<br />

overcome all challenges with great grit and<br />

determinati<strong>on</strong>. The perseverance shown by the<br />

leadership <strong>of</strong> UAE, spearheaded by H.H Sheikh<br />

Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, The UAE President<br />

and Ruler <strong>of</strong> Abu Dhabi and H.H Sheikh Mohammed<br />

bin Rashid Al Maktoum, The UAE Vice President &<br />

Prime Minister and Ruler <strong>of</strong> Dubai, is unmatched in<br />

this unprecedented times.<br />

Envir<strong>on</strong>ment issues do not have any boundaries and<br />

the brunt <strong>of</strong> the envir<strong>on</strong>mental degradati<strong>on</strong> is<br />

being felt today by <strong>on</strong>e and all. The climate crisis is<br />

accelerating at an unprecedented rate, and we are<br />

not ready <strong>for</strong> it. While the crisis has many factors<br />

that play a role in its exacerbati<strong>on</strong>, there are some<br />

that warrant more attenti<strong>on</strong> than others. I have<br />

made an ef<strong>for</strong>t to c<strong>on</strong>tribute my suggesti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>for</strong><br />

mitigati<strong>on</strong> steps in Secti<strong>on</strong> D, which I believe will<br />

be beneficial to the UAE government as well as can<br />

prove to be a modest step towards Envir<strong>on</strong>mental<br />

Sustenance.<br />

Envir<strong>on</strong>mental sustenance is the resp<strong>on</strong>sibility <strong>of</strong><br />

each and every citizen as it has always been us as<br />

human beings that have destroyed it and have put<br />

unsurmountable burden <strong>on</strong> our Nature to an<br />

irreparable level. A recent report from CNN states<br />

that "the year 2020 could be the year when humanmade<br />

artificial-mass surpasses the overall weight <strong>of</strong><br />

biomass (estimated to be 1.1 terat<strong>on</strong>s)", which is<br />

another perturbing matter, <strong>for</strong> which we are<br />

unaware <strong>of</strong> how the Earth will react.<br />
