Sinking in our own waste: Key cities have long been grappling with how and where to dispose of their municipal waste. Now the problem is spreading to towns and villages too. The problem is not just perishable kitchen or farm waste, but plastic, paper, glass and now, electronic waste! How can Sri Lanka reduce, reuse and recycle

Gasp! Help! We can’t breathe…Sri Lanka’s air quality has been going down, largely thanks to vehicle emissions. Now, diesel power plants that generate 65% of our electricity are making air pollution worse. Asthma, bronchitis and other illnesses are on the rise. What can be done urgently so we can breathe again?

Where have all the fish gone? Sri Lanka is surrounded by a vast ocean. But we don’t catch enough fish to feed our people. To make matters worse, marine fish stocks are falling worldwide. Why don’t we grow more fish inland? What more needs to be done to improve fish stocks and the lives of fishermen? Can fisheries be sustainable?

People or forests? Sri Lanka’s forest cover is now down to 20% of land area and is under siege by its 20 million people. How can remaining forests provide habitat to hundreds of animal and plant species, many found nowhere else in the world? Since the ‘guns and guards’ approach to protection isn’t working, what can save biodiversity? What new methods and strategies can save species, forests and people?

Are we running out of clean water? Sri Lanka receives plenty of rainfall, has over 100 rivers and thousands of traditional irrigation tanks (wewas). Yet, scientists warn of an impending freshwater shortage: we have to take better care of our water and manage it well for farming, households, industry and power generation. What are the choices, costs and their implications?

Buffered by Nature: We live amidst many hazards, but Nature can buffer us from her own fury – if we know how. Example: mangroves and sand dunes saved some communities from the tsunami. Understanding how ecosystems work and not tampering with Nature’s ways can be a powerful strategy for disaster risk reduction.

Nature’s laws and human laws: Sri Lanka has close to 100 laws to protect environment and natural resources, but their enforcement is weak leading to many problems. How can law and justice be better instruments for conservation without hampering people’s access to resources for their income and survival?

Tapping the bounty of the ocean: With an exclusive economic zone nearly 7 times its land area, Sri Lanka has vast ocean resources that need to be managed well. As two thirds of our coastline recover from the tsunami, and interest in oil exploration grows, we look at our coast and marine biodiversity to find out how to tap the ocean wealth wisely.

Doing good and doing well: Businesses have begun to count not just financial but also the social and environmental bottomlines. With corporate social responsibility (CSR) rising, we look at how Sri Lanka’s large, medium and small enterprises can make money and also do good by ‘going green’: being thrifty with resources and careful with their waste.

Race against time: Climate change is no longer a theory; it’s already happening. What awaits Sri Lanka - and how best can we adapt to live with extreme weather events, disrupted rainfall, sea level rise and other projected impacts? How can little Sri Lanka play a meaningful role in mitigating further damage to the world’s climate?
