Home Ecosystem and its Management in the Context of Global Warming

Abstract

Due to global warming, urbanization of land and increased population, we are facing a lot of problems in our day to day life. Increase in temperature of the atmosphere, shortage of drinking water, scarcity crops, vegetables and fruits can be mentioned. Here a model for home ecosystem and its management is established in the context of global warming based on personnel experience. We can make a home garden of any size where we can plant and conserve all the endemic, endangered medicinal plants of traditional importance for use in further scientific and industrial research. Here a model for water recycling at the individual level is also given. It includes rain water harvesting and recycling of water used for domestic purpose. It also includes use of organic household waste as manure for kitchen garden.
