The stamp design is represented by the peaceful and sustainable use of water resources through the use of a dropper that goes inside, outside and around the globe. Water is displayed cyclically, symbolizing sustainable use. It is a wonderful item for environment theme.

This is all for Today…More in next Post….Have a Nice Time !

Brazilian stamp block commemorating Frutal and the International Year of Water Cooperation was issued. Frutal was commemorated on the International Year of Water Cooperation stamps by the Brazilian Correios as one of three cities hosting the UNESCO-HidroEX. The event took place on Friday, 22 of March.

This souvenir  sheet  highlights its accessibility to the entire planet. The design conveys the water effect on our planet and people: a piece of arid soil being taken by green trees, planting favours human development, environmental integrity and the eradication of poverty and hunger.

Above the block, there is the logo of the International Year of Water Cooperation - 2013. Inspired by this brand, in the background, there is an abundant amount of water in motion to give organic rhythm, life and strength to the composition.

Sustainable Energy For All…

 

2012 INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL

The United Nation has designated 2012 as the ‘International Year of Sustainable Energy for All’ in order to increase awareness of the importance of addressing energy issues including the energy services for all, access to affordable energy, energy efficiency and the sustainability of energy sources and use; and for promotion of the internationally agreed development through sustainable and peaceful way. The year celebration combines these challenges with the goal of low pollution trying to meet the needs of the present without compromising those of future generations.

Sustainable energy is defined as "the energy produced and used in ways that support long-term human development in a social, economic and ecological scale." Therefore, sustainable energy for all is linked to a sustainable future for development and poverty alleviation.

     

The future of our nation depends upon the development of all. Students also have the important share and role in nation’s future. They are supposed to be the pillars of the nation. Thus their energy needs necessarily are important.

Postage stamps  are issued by different countries like Greifenberg, San Marino, Canada and Spain as part of this YEAR celebration to create and improve awareness about energy and its conservation. They give message with focus on use of endless natural sources such as wind and solar etc. The term "for all" is represented by the ability to produce energy in self-sufficient environment such as the lighted cabin using these natural resources.

I as a student appeal Department of Post and Government of India to issue a postage stamp to participate the international year celebration on Sustainable Energy for All…
