“The ice-cream season is on again in Kabul and sellers along their red wheel-carts echoing in the streets and alleyways everyday, usually attracting children like the girl in above. However the spring is in full swing and summer will meet the capital in a month, the sky is often cloudy and showers the city in its favor. More pleasantly, cold breezes and winds from cock-crow to the thirsty evenings of Ramadan is still interesting. I was walking by Kabul river to pay a visit and meet a friend, while I met this little girl strolling on tiny concrete walls of the river with her grandpa (outside the pic) and a ice-cream in hand. The river was once one of the beauty attractions of Kabul by drawing the attentions with its pale blue perspective, mostly seen in pictures during 70s or before, but today it is not more than a malodorous mixture of junks, trashes and quagmire. I am recently doing some research and studies on the essential factors and outcomes of water and air pollution in Kabul and sometimes I am paying visit to the effected zones, and the areas around. Unfortunately, there are many factors that nurtures Kabul’s pollution problems, and the ongoing situation of Kabul River is pushing the problem into a serious level that will require more attention in the nearest future. The River is turned into an outdoor and open canalizations that extremely affects the healthy life of Kabul residents both over and under the water.” #Kabul, #Afghanistan.

Residents of Artex Compound in Malabon City use makeshift boats as a means of transport around their neighborhood. The former housing project for factory workers is proof of the danger that rising floodwaters pose to coastal communities. #everydayclimatechange #climatechangeisreal #waterlevelrise #artex #signos #everydayphilippines #everydayeveywhere (at Artex)

Extreme temperatures are more common nowadays with a side effect of climate change. Worldwide record setting cold temperatures during the first weeks of 2018. Some scientists believe that Arctic warming may be a factor in this type of weather. #winter #everydayclimatechange #china #winter

7-8/365 Olive ridley turtles rush to the sea as they are released by villagers from the Pawikan Conservation Center in Nagbalayong, Morong, Bataan. Soon, these baby turtles will return to where they are hatched as it is their nature. That is, if they survive the rough seas and poaching. The survival rate is only 1.8 percent. #oliveridley #turtle #turtles #pawikanconservationcenter #everydayphilippines #squaresthelimit #everydayasia #photojournalismPH #instagramhub #everydayclimatechange

Celebrate world environment day everyday !

A man standing by a dried tree on a hillside in a foggy day as the smoke nearly covered the city's sky in the background in downtown Kabul. Thick columns of smoke emitting from homes, brick kilns and factories, bumper-to-bumper vehicles producing harmful gases, malodorous garbage piled in hot weather on the sides of the roads and paths are making the living highly challenging in the capital. Similarly, sub-standard generators built from the old engines of cars, burning of plastic, old car tires, wood in bathhouses and burning of coal ash in brick kilns and public houses beside other noxious non-organic substances, are responsible for 20-25% of the air pollution in the city. By the time, due to the population growth and the increasing number of vehicles on the road, the problem has grown more challenging and causing various types of disease. #Kabul, #Afghanistan.

I had read "whisky is to drink, water is to fight for". Having a good water management system is an essential need for every country to tackle climate change impacts. According to climate studies, Afghanistan is among the countries that will experience extreme droughts in mid 21st century. Due to a weak water management, the Afghan government has done nothing so far except putting gabion walls to prevent seasonal floods.

An Afghan boy, Mahdi 10, swims in a polluted outdoor pool in Mazar-i-sharif, Afghanistan. Everyone in the world knows about the war in Afghanistan but few know about the water crisis going on in the country. Afghanistan was once a flourishing country with beautiful cities and plentiful food and water supplies, but decades of war have decimated much of the country. One of the casualties of war has been the infrastructure that supplies the people with a clean water source. #Mazar_e_sharif, #Balkh, #Afghanistan.
