1 Bull equivalent to 6 trees

http://mgdas.com/2010/07/cow-dung-facts-and-statistics/
Dung available from one fully grown cow/ bull is around 5.4 tonnes per annum. so dry dung will be around 54. x 0.30 = 1620 kg per annum. This is equivalent to 712 kg of dry wood. This amount of wood comes from 6 large trees. So by keeping one old cow or bull alive we protect 6 large trees per annum from felling.
Around beginning of 20th century states where cow slaughter was banned only cow dung cakes were used for pryre to give agni samskar to dead bodies as per vedic custom. So that much forest was saved as that many tree were not cut. A tree has great value when it is alive. It decreases pollution, maintains rain cycle, turns CO2 into O2 etc etc. It also provieds shade, fruits, flowers. Also as forest were cut down to provide fuel we saw that many medicinal herbs easily available in forests were lost because of deforestation.
By killing of one old bull we deplete cow dung cakes required for funeral pyre of 10 people per year. So if a bull is allowed to live for 10 years beyond the age of slaughter then he can provide for 100 people funeral pyre thus protecting many full grown trees.
In Vedic culture there are 16 samskaras. These samskaras are ment to put a person in right state of consciousness or mind. In performing all the samskaras actually cow dung is required. So in abscence of dung the vedic culture cannot exist.
Also most of ayurvedic medicines are to be prepared on slowly burnning cow dung cakes. Without using the dung cakes the medicines don’t get proper medical properties. Actually on one side government is making a show of giving encouragement to ayurveda and on other side allowing cow slaughter there by creating shortage of cow dung cakes. This is nothing but duplicity.
Ayurveda cannot exist without cow dung and urine. If such medicines are made on fire coal or electricity then it is like running a petrol vehicle on kerosene. It can’t work and even if it works it won’t work properly. Similarly ayuvedic medicines have to be made on cow dung cakes only to have full effect.
For eg for hundreds of years mid wifes in Indian villages had been using cow dung fomentation to pregnant women, small babies and women who had just delivered babies. These mid wives used to give cow dung cake fomentation to babies and just delivered women with burnning dung which would take care of all there health. But with abscence of cow dung cakes the health of so many ladies is sacrificed. Because of loss and abscence of this lakhs and crores of ladies are inflicted with diseases associated with child birth and painful life there after till death.

4 technologies that are accelerating the green hydrogen revolution

Green Hydrogen through Electrolysis: Fuelling the Future | WRI INDIA (wri-india.org) Anuraag Nallapaneni  and  Krishnaveni Malladi  -  August 25, 2021   This is the second in a series of blogs on hydrogen, which will involve discussions around range of electrolysis technologies currently available at commercial and laboratory levels. Given the rising global consensus towards the transition towards a green hydrogen economy in coming decades, availability of commercially operable electrolysis technologies will act as a backbone of hydrogen deployment across sectors. Maturity of electrolysis technologies would also be critical in facilitating India’s 450 GW RE target, given electrolysis’s ability to manage duck curve challenges through its power to gas (P2G) applicability, further banking on hydrogen’s ability to act as a long-term energy storage medium. Read the first blog  here . Splitting water molecules, or the process of electrolysis, is one of the most p...

Platform Opportunities in Green Energy

  Creating platforms in green energy offers significant opportunities across various sectors, driven by the global transition to sustainable energy. Below are some key areas where platforms can be developed: 1. Renewable Energy Trading Platforms Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading: Platforms that enable individuals and businesses to trade surplus energy from solar panels or wind turbines directly. Virtual Power Plants (VPPs): Aggregating energy from distributed sources to create a network that functions as a single power plant, balancing supply and demand in real-time. 2. Energy Management and Optimization Smart Grid Platforms: Tools for utilities and consumers to optimize energy use, monitor consumption, and manage loads during peak demand. Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS): Platforms offering subscription models for energy management, including energy efficiency, consumption analytics, and equipment optimization. 3. Carbon Credit and Offset Platforms Carbon Trading Platforms: Facilit...

Advantages & Disadvantages of Hydroponics

 https://www.trees.com/gardening-and-landscaping/advantages-disadvantages-of-hydroponics by Amanda Brahlek | Professional Gardener – last update on January 16, 2023 Over the last decade, people’s interest in how their food is produced has increased greatly. More consumers want “safe” food that’s been produced with sustainable, mindful growing practices and is free from pesticide residues. As a result, more consumers are choosing to grow their own food and many are exploring hydroponics for doing so. If you’re thinking of embarking on a hydroponics project, you’ll first need to learn the fundamental concepts of growing plants hydroponically. On this page, you’ll discover the basics of hydroponics as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using a hydroponics system. What Is Hydroponics? Hydroponics is a method of growing plants indoors without using any soil. Instead of pulling mineral nutrients needed for growth from the ground, plants get all of their ...
