The UNDP started
their pilot project in 2006, will contribute 25 million dollar in the next five
years for fifteen new projects in Bangladesh.
The innovative
technology that used to replace the existing 150 year old process will simply
made the brick making industry so efficient that when that is replicated across
the Bangladesh.
UNDP said, the
new system could reduce production costing, improved product quality, local
pollution and most importantly, reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
According to
UNDP, brick making is one of the most dangerous sources of greenhouse gas
emissions in Bangladesh which produces around 6.00 million tones of carbon di-oxide
annually.
High carbon
dioxide emission level is caused by the outdated technology and substandard
fuels such- high sulphur coal, tires and wood energy in kilns. In Bangladesh it
takes about 23 tones of coal to produce 100,000 bricks where as in other
country it takes only 7.8-8 tones.
Bangladesh is a
small country on the Bay of Bengal that is surrounded by India. It is a poor
country economically. Bangladeshi people earn an average income of 260 dollar
per year. It is rich in culture and hospitality. Bangladeshis are 83 percent
Muslim and one of the most densely populated country in this world. There are approximately
2,160 people per square mile.
75% of the labor
works in agriculture and related jobs. Such as handicraft production, rugs,
pottery, purses, jewelry etc provide much-needed income.
Bangladesh is small and beautiful but poor
country. It is over populated also. Most of the people are Muslims here. Some
of people are Hindus, some Buddhists and some Christians. Different kinds
people live in our Bangladesh. Most of them are poor. at least 70-80% people
live in villages. Some people live in towns too.
Dhaka is the Capital city of Bangladesh. I live in this city. I saw how the poor are spend their hard life in the town. Some people work in Garments sector, some are rickshaw-pullers, some are day labors, some are street hawkers and some are beggars, some are lorry driver etc.
In the morning when I go out from my home, I can see many men and women are to attend their Work. You know that most of the people are garments worker here. Every morning they are to attend their work and return home at night. The whole day they work very hard. They always maintain their work timely. Most of the workers are child labors.
Sometimes I see old men, young boys are rickshaw-pullers. The whole day they pull rickshaw for earn Money. The Day labors also work hard whole day. We can also see some street hawkers such as vegetable, fish and flower sellers. We also see that some street beggars beg infront of the houses, markets, schools, colleges and Universities etc. Some are very older, some beg with baby.
Majority of them live in slums. They live under poverty. But they are part of Bangladeshi nature and our life. We can change our poor peoples’ life style. Rich people can help them beside some government activities. Bangladeshi people are very kind and well hearted. Please help the poor people and save Bangladesh from the poverty. Because we need a green world. But for the poor people our environment get damaged by many of kinds.

Such
as Environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources are often
observed in this country due to poverty, huge population and lack of awareness
on many subject. It is manifested by deforestation, destruction of wetlands, depletion
of soil nutrients and many others. Natural calamities such as floods, cyclones
and tidal-bores also make result in severe socio-economic and environmental
damage.
Waterborne diseases like cholera are a serious threat for public health in Bangladesh. Until the 1970, many of Bangladeshi people became sick by drinking polluted water drawn from rivers. Aid agencies like the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) built shallow tube-wells over the country for safe source of drinking water to Bangladesh's poor people.
In the 1990s however, it was invented that many of these wells were contaminated by arsenic, a poison which occurs naturally in Bangladesh's alluvial lands. The World Bank estimates, 25% of the countries and 4 million wells may be effected by arsenic. In 1998 the World Bank gives Bangladesh a $32.4 million credit to identify effected wells and develop other alternative sources for safe drinking water. Because it is essential for secure life.
In recent times, the government has taken some important steps for protection of the environment, environmentally sound use of natural sources and population control, adoption of National Environment Policy, formulation of National Conservation Strategy and the National Environment Management Action Plan are some of the measures undertaken by the government to upgrade environment with development by a policy framework.
To take legal action against environmental pollution, the government has recently established Environment courts. The Environment Conservation Rules 1997 B.C. has also been passed by the Parliament. The Department of Environment is taking measures to carry out surveys on identification and control of polluting river pollution, industries and automobile pollution.

Bangladesh is subject which devastating cyclones, originating over the Bay of
Bengal in the periods of April to May and September to November. Often
accompanied by surging waves, these storms cause great damage and loss of huge
life. The cyclone of November 1970, in which about 500,000 people were lost in
Bangladesh, was one of the worst natural disasters of Bangladesh in the 20th
century.
Bangladesh has heat temperatures throughout the year, with relatively little
variation from month to month. January is the coolest month and May the
