Dedicated to the planet, our Pale Blue Dot, CEEW presents What On Earth!® A cartoon series on sustainability, on how we are treating the planet and how the planet is treating us back. What On Earth!® will appear fortnightly and on special days with a point or a counterpoint to ponder and share.
Don't stop 'til they're clean enough!
Dust and droppings may be moonwalking across your rooftop solar panels, but What On Earth!® reminds you that a little cleaning and maintenance can keep them shining, generating, and saving at their best!

And may they do more than just wish!
Here's to many happy returns of this day!

This week on What On Earth!©—we tip our hats to those who "know-well." While the world hunts breakthroughs or hands out prizes for discoveries, indigenous wisdom quietly reminds us: some of the best solutions are rooted and locally led. It’s time our local climate champions got their golden moment!

When the city lands on the therapist’s couch, it’s clear what the diagnosis is: too much smoke, too little green! This week’s What On Earth!© reminds us that balanced development—with fewer smokestacks, greener spaces, and more public transport—is the prescription for a healthier tomorrow.

This monsoon, India’s cities are logging out before citizens can log in! With smarter drains, timely early warnings, and resilient urban design, flood risk action plans can keep hospitals accessible, schools open, transport running, and livelihoods secure. Next stop: climate-ready cities. Don’t miss the bus.

A joke falls flat when the setup is wrong—and so does waste management! Waste segregation is the setup we need for cleaner air, fewer landfills, and safer communities. And maybe the roast show we really need is a one where trash takes the mic and has the last laugh.
