It is true that there was warming (and cooling) before the advent of man, but today's rapid climate change is clearly man-made.🌍
Excessive waste and energy (production) consumption is completely undermining the energy balance of the Planet, resulting in extreme climate variability.
If this continues, humans will be on the list of extinct species.🌱
https://tacmee.eu/

Ecological system, also known as ecosystem, is the totality of animals, plants and microorganisms and their inanimate environment.🌱
To be truly effective in nature conservation, ecological processes must be understood. For example, it is useless to reintroduce a species of animal or plant that has become extinct if its habitat has been radically altered.🌍
Today, this discipline has a history of about 150 years, so that today's professionals can draw on the experience accumulated over this period.🌱
https://tacmee.eu/

Broadly speaking, biodiversity is the diversity of living things, the sum of species.🌍
It is this diversity, this multiplicity, that is the basis of human well-being.
It provides life-giving oxygen, drinking water, food, etc.🌱
Farming has a direct impact on the diversity of life, and if we mismanage the land we are given, in the long run our quality of life suffers.
Today, the number of living species is decreasing day by day, with thousands of animal and plant species disappearing from our planet every year.
We humans are the main cause of this increased extinction.🌍

Noise pollution is an environmental problem that results from excessive sound exposure from human activities 🌍
It has negative impacts on human health, animals and the ecosystem.
Sources of noise can include transport, construction sites, manufacturing plants, loud music, etc.
One of the most common negative effects is hearing loss, which develops gradually over time and may eventually be irreversible.
General health effects of noise pollution include sleep disturbances, stress, increased blood pressure, emotional instability and mental health problems.

Climate change is showing up strongly in Mongolia. Temperatures are also rising much faster than in other parts of the world.
Polluting activities with high dust emissions (e.g. mining) are not helping the situation. But Mongolia is a country where a lot of things are mined, such as gold and copper.🌱
This, in turn, leads to the drying up of lakes and rivers, which is conducive to desertification.🌍

Let's assume that if we replace a 36 Watt fluorescent tube with a 20 Watt LED tube, we save 16 Watts of energy per hour.
On top of that, of course, there is the additional 30-40 watts of unused energy that comes with the ballast, the cost of which is in your pocket.
Unused energy does not have to be produced and does not pollute the environment.🌱
Not to mention the not insignificant fact that the fluorescent lamp is made using mercury.
Mercury is a highly toxic substance...

Water is essential for life to exist, without water there would be no life on Earth.🌍
Mongolia's territory is generally quite arid, so conserving what little water is available is particularly important.
It is not water control that is the problem in Mongolia, but the use and conservation of water resources that poses difficult challenges for water managers.💦
https://tacmee.eu/

One of the biggest challenges in Mongolia is unsustainable livestock production, which leads to land and water degradation.🌍
Excessive animal husbandry leads to soil erosion and soil degradation.
Another challenge is the problem of deforestation, which leads to the loss of natural forests.
Forests play an important role in the environment. For example, reducing air pollution, ensuring ecosystem stability and improving water quality.
When forests disappear, the environment becomes more vulnerable to external pressures.
Environmental efforts in Mongolia include the protection of animal and plant species and the reforestation of forests.🌱

The production of plastic bags consumes energy and raw materials. Moreover, after use, it often simply ends up in the trash.
And it sits there for hundreds of years, because that's how long it takes to decompose.🌍
We use reusable textile or mesh bags instead.🌱
They are also perfect environmentally friendly carriers for vegetables, fruit, baked goods and other products. Let's protect our Earth!

Cleaning tips
Here's an easy and chemical-free tip to easily get rid of food residue that dries on the inside of the microwave.
👉 In a microwaveable bowl, put two cups of water and two tablespoons of vinegar
👉 heat for one minute
👉 then leave the door closed for 2-3 minutes to let the steam do its work
👉 remove the bowl
👉 wipe the inside of the microwave with a sponge or cloth
Try it ;) .
