A global pandemic that is claiming people’s lives certainly shouldn’t be seen as a way of bringing about environmental change either but what is being addressed is how the positive impacts will be maintained ,when the pandemic eventually subsides, will carbon and pollutant emissions “bounce back” so much that it will be as if this clear-skied interlude never happened? Or could the changes we see today have a more persistent effect ?Also a factor that could influence whether or not these emissions bounce back is how long the corona-virus pandemic lasts. As well as how the negative impacts will be faced after this pandemic ends ? There must be an another way that the behavioral changes taking place around the world could carry over beyond the current corona virus pandemic.
This challenge inspired us as this teams cares about environment understanding that "The environment will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.” as Pope John Paul II said. It has been searched for obvious impacts happened due to the pandemic covid19 as positive ones :
Our project is still collecting information and doing studies to guess how to achieve the positive impacts as a long lasting impacts even after this pandemic ends and how to eliminate the bad ones. Space agency data helped us a lot in comparing current data with older ones and realizing the change happened due to pandemic CO19.As well as the sensors, which are part of NASA’s Pandora Project, each use a spectrometer to identify chemicals in the air. Two instruments, each propped up with a tripod, sit at both airports. Their spectrometers use ultraviolet and visible wavelengths of light to detect ozone, nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde at different altitudes of the atmosphere.
Kaiser is comparing the on-the-ground sensor information with satellite information from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI), aboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5 Precursor satellite, launched in 2017 and managed by the European Commission in partnership with ESA, the EU Member States and EU agencies. She wants to know if we’re understanding the satellite data accurately for these locations by ground truthing them with the newly-installed Pandora sensors.
Surely no one would have wanted Positive impacts this way or emissions to be lowered this way. Covid-19 has taken a grim global toll on lives, health services, jobs and mental health. But, if anything, it has also shown the difference that communities can make when they look out for each other – and that’s one lesson that could be invaluable in dealing with climate change.
Our minds aren't in quarantine but our our psychological state surely is affected by it so what's worth saying that we struggled so much to maintain our power and continue to the end , we got weak , we faced depression , we said time is not enough , but fortunately we didn't stop and we didn't lose faith in our selves and that's how a team work . A member is weak and another is strong to help him get stronger . So the achievements is not just the results but us finishing and continuing this thing to the end is the real achievement.
