`sasrai’ appeal turned into demand of seven billion

`Consume With Care’

Dr. (Lt.Col) Sarder Mahmud Hossain Professor and Head Department of Public Health Northern University Bangladesh hossainsarder059@gmail.com,rafiqulph1979@gmail.com,mrs.nadira@yahoo.com,sazia_huq@yahoo.com Abstract Climate change, climate variability and extremes are affecting our food production and will most challenge our food security. Farmers and extension services have been baffled on ways to address this uncertainty, manage crop production and ensure good harvest. Climate change is a global problem, and yet each one of us has the power to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily behavior can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions without affecting our quality of life. In fact, they can help to save our money. To meet the challenges sasrai-Movement could be one of the most effective vehicle we urge to all uphold it. It stands for plain, simple and easier life for all, as less as possible, consumption of resources in our daily living. It urges initiating it in own life, at home, at own place. It stands for democracy, diversity, decentralization, tolerance, transparency, self-reliance and peace. Its first consideration is tomorrow, the future generation, who have not spoiled a bit of this earth's resources, the children, who have not committed any sinful act. It believes in community potentials to solve their problem, adaptation by the available resources they own right now. It stands for giving up the luxuries that destroy the earth's resources. It stands for reuse, recycling as maximum as possible. The students, the youth, the hope of the future, can start by devising their way of serving the humanity, the planet. We encourage devising own instead of suggesting, directing like big brother. Because environment doesn’t accept, tolerate dictation from powerful or powerless. We are open in share of our vision, mission, learning and experience. We try to start the initiative in our personal life, at homes. The students and teachers here are encouraged to start practice in their personal life, class rooms, in schools and homes. Then they could appeal to friends, neighbors, relatives and to the others. We try to use empty pots, small pieces of land by planting saplings. Our preferences are medicinal plants, vegetables. We try to avoid one-time-use items. We try to switch off our electric bulbs and fans for at least one minute a day. We encourage avoiding using air conditioners. We sit with the students and teachers and they collectively decide their steps. We start in a smaller way. We try to avoid to be dominating. We think if any organizational structure is formed then all have to take the post of "leader" by rotation. We believe in local resources and fund to launch any initiative. I hope, we can talk on more functional issues in future. Till today we have taken decisions collectively in a democratic and participatory way. We generate funds by selling used/old household items, by putting our labor. We encourage in cutting luxury, unnecessary cell phone call, cool drinks, junk food etc. We try to walk as maximum as possible but obviously not at the expense of health and time.

About sasrai – sustainable augmentation, solicited restraint, animated integrity sasrai-Movement aimed at combat the Climate Change, Global Warming, Poverty, Hunger, Disaster - ensure Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for Each. Scientists opine Commercial growth, technology, consumption destabilizing global environment, diminishing

organism, threatening earth existence. 18 percent food production may dive by 2050 due to global warming Due to Climate Change Africa Will Starve and Asia Will Drown in 30 Years Climate Change may drown 15 Cities Scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can

support by 2050. At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings.

Scientist says Earth is halfway to being inhospitable to life Absolute truth for today’s world advertisement administered consumption prompt indefensible production that contributes climbing temperature, climate change, global warming that shaping a disastrous and hungry world that breeds millions of distressed people. Desperate populace will act desperate they riot, fight over food, hug lawlessness, create mayhem that’s the curse for each. Earth urges prudence in consumption. Scientists presume resource consumption might be twice by 2050 than earth can afford. Increased production will affect nature, water, forest, arable land and the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would be in deadly point of no return. Humanity is in need of climate and resource responsible individual, humanity. Need Each baby Caring to Each particle of resource, have mindset save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources for habitable earth. Thanks and gratitude to United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) accepted huge voted (votes increase by almost 600% over 2014) World Environment Day (WED) theme -

`Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care'.

The center piece of voters demand seven billion (state driver to street beggar) will be caring to the each particle of resources. Since 2004 `sasrai’ appeal (`We must get each child caring to each particle of food and resources. Combat the Climate Change, Global Warming, Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Ensure Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for Each - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources’) turned into demand of seven billion today. We know better only the day observation or theme fixation for one year cannot contribute minor to attain needed success. It demand incessant strive to bringing significant change in mindset, behavior and attitude among all and that’s the time consuming tough job. Let’s raise our voice from each corner of globe for sasrai and design the program that community could uphold within themselves with their available resources. Let’s revitalize ourselves to do more and more. Let’s we all have Prudent, Provident, Proficient plan to demonstrate the acceptance of our appeal by the highest authority, finally the global community. Let’s design our program based on respective community demand and practicability. Let’s not be high ambitious. Please go slow and steady. We shall overcome build a warning free earth for our next generation and each creature. Everything on this planet is symbiotically connected - plants, animals, humans and the Earth itself. Unfortunately our maximum program Human focused. Let’s ponder on design the program, message and material inclusive.

"Human security will be progressively threatened as the climate changes," the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCCC) warned in its overview report. The Pentagon agrees. "Rising global temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, climbing sea levels, and more extreme weather events will intensify the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty and conflict,"

Africa Will Starve and Asia Will Drown in 30 Years Due to Climate Change People in Asia and the Pacific are four times more likely to be affected by natural disaster than in

Africa and 25 times more than in Europe or North America? Global warming could cause an 18 percent drop in world food production by 2050 15 Cities Threatened by Climate Change The World Bank alarm bells are just the latest to sound about the havoc climate change and man-

made global warming will cause to the planet. The World Health Organization predicts that climate change will cause 250,000 additional deaths per

year around the globe between 2030 and 2050, primarily from malaria, diarrhea, heat exposure and malnutrition.

01. # Climatechange directly affects food and nutrition security of millions of people, undermining efforts to address under nutrition and hitting the poorest the hardest. Join a new online discussion on climate change, food security & nutrition: bit.ly/1BMd9Mn

02. Scientist says Earth is halfway to being inhospitable to life http://rt.com/news/242441-earth-facing-human-extinction/

03. We stand at a critical crossroads that will determine the fate of our planet, our people and our prosperity. The world eagerly awaits the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals. The glaciers on Mount Rwenzori have decreased in area from 2.7 square miles to 0.4 square miles in the last 100 years.

up and ready to fight it again. 06. We’re using more resources than the planet can produce and replenish. In fact, every year we humans

consume the equivalent of 1.5 planets’ worth of resources! In a developed nation like the US, chances are you’re using four or five planets’ worth or more.

07. Breakthrough Study says Climate Change And Violence Linked 08. People in Asia and the Pacific are four times more likely to be affected by natural disaster than in

Africa and 25 times more than in Europe or North America? If we don’t smarten up in consumption, scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. The consequences grow more and more severe as forests shrink, water becomes scarcer, arable lands diminish, and the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere approaches a deadly point of no return. UNSG Opine - "The power of young people is essential if we are to succeed in facing global challenges, not least ending poverty and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change". Our Appeal 01. Dear Madam/Sir Greetings from sasrai-Movement that works voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promote prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reduce the abuse of resources. sasrai target to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to Combat Climate Change, Global Warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, hunger, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity - finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. `sasrai’ is the road map towards the implementation of the United Nations Millennium Declaration - sasrai brings into focus Six MDGs, 09 time-bound targets and 31 quantitative indicators. The biggest threat for the planet earth is Climate Change, Global Warming - that breeds Disaster, Poverty, Hunger successively humiliation of Peace, Justice, Rights. And all those fatal threats are the product of our `Consumption Slavery’ or we can say `Advertisement Administered Lifestyle’ or we can say `Purchase and Possession’ mindset. We have already crossed four “planetary boundaries.” They are the extinction rate; deforestation; the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; and the flow of nitrogen and phosphorous (used on land as fertilizer) into the ocean. Scientist shown human activities — economic growth, technology, consumption — is destabilizing the global environment,” To address the said threat we must bridle Consumption Slavery. Student/children/youth needed to be taken prime force spread the message as well as bring the significant change in mindset. Humanity in need `Each particle of Food and Resource cared by Each.’ . Student/children/youth needed to be learned

a. At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for human beings.

b. If we don’t smarten up in consumption, scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. The consequences grow more and more severe as forests shrink, water becomes scarcer, arable lands diminish, and the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere approaches a deadly point of no return.

c. Absolute truth for today’s world careless consumption driving untenable production that driving changes in temperature and weather patterns and that’s the Hotter and Hungry World. Hungry world will contribute millions of desperate people. Desperate people do desperate things: They riot, they fight over food, they overthrow governments, and the mass migrate to food-secure countries.

To get Each Responsible to Each Particle Food and Resource, Student/Children/youth involvement in sasrai activity has multiplier effect and impact including other as follows

01. Student/Children/youth informed about local, national and global issue of Climate Change, global warming

02. Get chance to invigorate and reorganize their mindset, thinking, planning 03. Student/Children/youth could design own work, path, decision to lead their life 04.

`Leave no one behind’ Demand Drastic Action UNEP’s conceptual integrated framework, a trilogy, states that the road to sustainability needs to address at least three key principles: Leave no one behind and provide a life of dignity for all. Live within our means and achieve greater prosperity in an inclusive manner within the

capacity of the Earth’s life support system. Leave something behind by increasing natural, social and economic capital to achieve

greater resilience and secure future generations’ livelihoods. To address these three key principles we are in need to build a caring society and that’s possible if individual have mindset `how much less consuming I could be and how much I could sacrifice for other, in each step let’s save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.’ No matter how small the saving each one should have mindset that’s require a mass mobilization. And that’s a very tough job `bringing significant change and mindset, behavior and attitude.’ Along with this we must remember - Everything on this planet is symbiotically connected - plants, animals, humans and the Earth itself. Unfortunately our maximum program Human focused. Let’s ponder on design the program, message and material inclusive.
