Landfilling and Incineration
Land-filling is the process of disposing solid waste in low lands or into trenches through proper sanitary methods. It involves- collection, transport, compaction, etc. processes along with proper management for gas-outlet etc. For land filling, the important thing to be taken into account is the distance of waste collection site to the waste dumping site, because it involves cost of transportation.
Urban and Rural Waste: Methods of their Disposal
Different activities may generate waste which may be solid or liquid. The quality of both solid and liquid wastes is increasing and if the wastes are disposed in an uncontrolled manner these may cause adverse impact on public health and environment. Hence these wastes need to be managed efficiently so as to safeguard public health and environment.
Major atmospheric pollutants
Substances that cause pollution of air are called as air- pollutants or atmospheric pollutants. These are fine Primary Pollutants that contribute more than 90 percent of global air pollution. These fine pollutants are carbon monoxide (CO); Nitrogen oxides (NOx); Sulphur oxides (Sox) and particulates. These pollutants can be put into two broad categories A. Gaseous Pollutants, and B. Particulates.
Integrated Forest Conservation- Public-Private Ownership

Macro and Micro Ecosystems and Relation among Organisms
A habitat is the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.
Exotic and Introduced Plants
Some propagules or seeds incidentally travel long distances and reach to other county. There they germinate and produce new plants.
Renewable Energy
Anything from which we can derive energy is called as a source of energy. Since all the life processes need energy, energy is most important for our survival. Our body derives energy from the food we eat. Thus, the food we eat is the source of energy for our body. But this is not the whole story. We need energy for our growth and economic development as well.
Animal Body- Parts and Sense Organs
Most animals of the same kind have same body parts. But their body parts differ in size, shape, color and functions. They have different types of sense organs as well.
How to manage our Natural Resources
Human activities have never been friendly to environment. The remains of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa signify that the civilization ended due to desertification which might had been caused by large scale deforestation. Still today impacts of such human activities have started appearing. Hence it is essential that we manage our natural resources properly.
