Mineral Water of Bangladesh

Do you ever see these type of `Nutritious Lable` Before?

I am so suprise during my first trip to Bangladesh and found their bottled mineral water a bit different. Looking at the bottle, it is just like a normal water that will sell everywhere in the world. 

When I was waiting for my delicious food to be served in the restaurant, I just turn around the mineral water bottle and noticed something that are quite different. Their `Nutrition Facts`. They are not showing the nutrition, but the mineral contain. Check below:

This is the first time in my life I encounter a `mineral lable` that will put such dangerous contain like lead, cadmium, cyanide, arsenic etc. I understand that Bangladesh face a serious water resource pollution by the arsenic, but I never realize that they also face the threat of other poisonous matter.

Another lable of mineral water. I really dont understand what is `Free CO2`. Any idea?

Saline resilience paddy in Bangladesh

Bangladesh Prepare for the Sea Level Rise!

Bangladesh will be facing a serious problem as the sea level rise due to global warming. Some of the soil near the coastal area already facing salinity problem. Some of the saline resilience crops already being developed to overcome the problem. Pictures show the example of the saline resilience rice variety developed in Bangladesh. It seem this variety produce quite good amount of rice even in the saline environment. Unfortunately, I was a week earlier from the harvesting. Just hope to be able to taste how the `aji`.

Eco in Bangladesh! Blooming Eco Light Bulb

Eco Light Bulb Bloom in Bangladesh

The price of Eco Light Bulb in Bangladesh is about 4-5 times more expensive than the conventional light bulb. However, my current trip to Bangladesh found it is very popular even at the rural area of the country. As many of the developed society still having difficulties to promote the Eco light bulb due to higher pricing. It is interested to know why the poorer Bangladesh society is more willing to use the Eco light bulb than the developed countries. If the Bangladesh people can able to understand the benefit of using the eco light bulb, people live in the advanced society should take more eco friendly action.

Our friend in Bangladesh already take the action, what are you waiting for?

This restuarant in Dhaka is using the Eco light bulb. The restuarant keep the box of the light as it has a year of warranty. He will be able to exchange for new light buld if it fail during the first year.
