Genitically modified crops, Electronic Gadgets, AC, Toxic Wastes - Earth taken for granted

-


Your support and continuous financial contributions are what give Greenpeace the strength to battle the dangerous global environmental threats facing our planet today. In order to preserve our independence and objectivity, Greenpeace does not accept funding from corporates or governments. This makes your support absolutely vital to our cause. While your financial support is invaluable, there are other ways in which you can support our campaigns.

1)--Greenpeace is working worldwide to prevent potentially harmful genetically modified crops from entering our food chain. As a consumer, you have the power to tell governments that you don't want to be subjected to this untested technology. Check the labels on the food that you buy and say no to genetically engineered food.

2)--Planning to buy a phone, a PC, or a laptop? Many electronics products manufactured in India contain extremely toxic chemicals and metals that are harmful to human health. Greenpeace is working to make computers and phones toxic-free. Companies like Dell, Sony, Nokia and recently Wipro have already agreed to do so. Make sure that you only buy electronic products that are PVC plastic free and are manufactured by clean production methods. Ask if the company will take the product back and recycle it when it reaches the end of its life.

3)--If you're planning to buy a refrigerator or an AC, buy one that doesn't release CFCs (Chloro Fluro Carbons) or HFCs (Hydro Fluoro Carbons). These compounds cause huge amounts of global warming. You can also visit our website to find out about more efficient ways to use energy, and ways to reduce your consumption of energy, thus reducing global warming and climate change.

4)--Greenpeace relies heavily on supporters like you to help us win our campaigns. Victories like sending the toxic ship Clemenceau back to France, getting Wipro to commit to clean production, creating rainforest reserves in Latin America and whale sanctuaries in the Antarctic would not have been possible without our supporters. You can get started by joining our campaign to protect our oceans. Please visit http://oceans.greenpeace.org and register as an ocean defender today.

Detailed information about each of our campaigns is available at http://www.greenpeace.org/india

Meaning of Summa Ameen

-
Image
The verbal meaning of Summa Ameen is re-iteration of the first Ameen. The effect of saying Ameen is more than saying dua twise which is explained as below. The letter deliverd by a post man or a courier would have a 'From' address and a 'To' address it would rarely contain a seal, presence of a seal signifies higher priority and importance of the delivered content. So the reader gives more consideration to a letter which has a seal on it. Every dua is our personal letter which is delivered directly to Allah, with immediate effect and no middle man/thing. Prophet said(something similar to) "a dua followed by Ameen is like placing a seal on it".

The Chicken Story- Shawai, Tanduri, BBQ or What?

Thursday afternoon is for friends and family to gather and spend some quality time together; cousins in Dubai get together every Thursday with accessories like coal, grill marinated chicken and kubboos. It is like a celebration with jokes, pokes, fun and barbeque, but first is to find a right place in the desert to settle down. First step is to get fire up coal, that requires skill and patience, next is to place the marinated chicken on the grill. There is no cooking oil used (zero cholesterol) and the chicken cooks in its own oil, each pieces are moved/turned so that the cooking is regular. Alas! The pleasure of sumptuous food. (made at home) Once the chicken is ready everything else is forgotten it’s just chicken and us, The name of the dish was of course a debate, Shawai, Tandoori or BBQ finally we decided to call it ‘chutta kozhi’. Recipe – Chicken marinated in Secret Ingredients for at-least 4 hours. Secrete ingredients:- Lemon/Curd, Mint, Cilantro, chilly powder, tamarind powder,...
