Day

lentils,dry peas, and lupins. First, it is a must to encourage people around the
world to eat pulses for a healthy lifestyle.Pulses,also known as legumes, are the
edible seeds of leguminous plants cultivated for food.They are packed with
nutrients and have high protein content,making them an ideal source of protein
particularly in regions where meat and dairy are not physically or economically
accessible.Pulses are low in fat and rich in soluble fibre,which can lower cholesterol
and help in the control of blood sugar. Because of these qualities, they are
recommended by health organizations for the management of non-communicable
diseases like diabetes and heart conditions. Pulses have also been shown to
help combat obesity.

Say No to Plastic
-Email Campaign-
Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles
in the Earth’s environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife
habitat, and humans. Many of us don’t think about how much
we throw away each day and where it ends up. We have become
disconnected from the waste stream and the processes involved
because it has become so easy. Throw something away and never
see it again. An email campaign was carried out in order to make
the Leos aware of the ways to reduce plastic pollution.
