Wow....the Earth is healing & glowing due to the lockdown, it's a good news to us and our nature too.
 One side the world is fighting with the Corona virus tragedy, janta curfew or lockdown while other hand our mother nature is healing herself, less amount of pollution recorded in many top polluted cities due to less human activities.

" When we heal Earth , we heal ourselves".

Wuhan in China:-

In China , where the first cases of Corona virus were detected ,a large decline in pollution and green house gases have now recorded.
The level of atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO2) first in Wuhan reduced then across the country.
This is proof that if we want, the human race can work together towards a sustainable future.

Satalite image have shown a dramatic decline in pollution level over China , which is due to an economic slow down prompted by the Corona virus, US space agency NASA says.

"You carry mother Earth within you.
She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is
Not just your environment".  _Nhat Hanh

In Italy:-

        Italy on lockdown, Venice's canals showing sign of improvement, usually very musky waters the canals have become much cleaner because of less traffic on the canals, to the extent that the fish living inside are now visible.
Not only fishes are visible, white swans have now floating across the cleaner waters.

The CPCB has released a report on the impact of the "Janta curfew" and lockdown, on the air quality.
Out of 91 cities that showed minimal pollution, as many as 30 cities recorded "good" air quality while 61 cities recorded. "satisfactory" air quality, the report showed.
An AQI between-
0-50------ Good
51-100----Satisfactory
101- 200----- Moderate
201- 300------ Poor
301- 400------- Very poor
401- 500------ Severe
The Air Quality Index is an assessment of the air quality by taking into account differt factors.
Delhi which battle high level of pollution almost through the year also showed significant improvement.
Due to lockdown, reduced traffic on the road, decreasing level of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the environment.

The AQI value in different cities in India


On March 21, the AQI was "moderate" in Delhi, which gradually improved from higher to lower end of the catagory. 
17 cities moving in the " satisfactory" catagory and 7 cities in " good" catagory.
On the other hand, Chennai & Mumbai remainded in the " satisfactory" catagory.
 High AQI value was seen in Kanpur also high AQI value was noted in Vapi, Ratlam (sulphur dioxide as a prominent pollutant), Satna, Singrauli and Chandrapur seemingly due to emission from industrial areas.

Due to reduction in industrial, transportation and business activity, is allowing mother nature to recharge and replenish.
With reduced water traffic in the Arabian Sea , dolphins are now being spotted jumping playfully in the water.
Due to less pollution in water and less traffic is what is making them to spot easier.

On the brighter side of the things


This  is true that world is going through a very tough time but still there is a some relaxation to our mother nature, this reduced human intervention is allowing mother nature to recharge and replenish herself.
Mother nature is healing slowly and steadily, and what better news than that!
We all should promise to protect and to support our mother nature.

Why is the sky blue ? Why is the ocean blue? Why does it seem like blue is the nature's favourite colour?

Some people think the sky in blue because of sunlight reflected off the ocean and back into the sky. But the sky is blue even in the middle of the country side nowhere near the sea! Other's think it's because of the water in our atmosphere . But the sky is blue in the places that are extremely dry like desert. Some say it's because of oxygen is blue coloured gas .
