Why Go Green - Global Warming Children and the environment
Where can Global Warming Kids help with the environment defense?
According to an dialogue conducted with 15,000 children between four and fourteen years, 92% wish for a beneficial environment. 89% want to help the environment themselves and 48% would yet be willing to give off a part of their pocket money for the security of nature.
It has never happened before, that children looked so apprehensive in their own future,
kids fear the most the catastrophes which deal with water soiling and air pollution and the growing piles of waste.
If children turn out to be active themselves, their fear becomes smaller. kids act with a lot of seriousness and engagement in the matter of environment harms and react only with unconcern when they notice that they can make no direct changes.
Therefore, it is quite significant that you support your kids in their behavior for nature and show a good Example yourself in all the welfare of the environment safety.
There are some Groups who offer this option, worldwide, like ;
Greenpeace inc. (”Greenpeace-youth project”)
The group Greenteam was founded in September, 1990 by Greenpeace for children and teenagers. In the Greenteam 5-6 or more kids or youngsters can select a detailed cause for what they offer their time. Mostly they decide smaller projects from their close surroundings, following their slogan “ worldwide, locally act”. Each team is supported by an adult.
The nature conservation alliance of Germany as an example
„ getting kids active for nature protection “
They send information about, ” how can children actively help out in environment safety”, for instance, they build puddles for frogs and toads, build nests for birds, gather garbage to clean nature and lots more.
The nature protection alliance can also give you addresses of active nature preservation kids groups in your proximity.
As other big environmental federations such as
World Wildlife Fund (WWF),
Greenpeace international
If you would like to help join in the fight in opposition to global warming, you will want to get in progress soon. The sooner we all take action, the easier it will be to make a successful, united stance against global warming.
To get you started, you may want to look at your home and your vehicle. If you are unable to purchase an energy efficient vehicle carpool, change your dieses engine to a hybrid engine by yourself, or use public transportation as much as possible, as well as combine as many errands together in one trip as possible.
As for your home, limit your electricity uses by only running your dishwasher when it is full, use energy efficient light bulbs, and turn your heat down, even just a few degrees and more effective biuld your own energysupply with Solarpanels and Windturbine yourself.
And once more leave your car on the parking plot, becaus start your own legitimate work from home based opportunities.

Wood Pellet Stove

Shape a new world with your pellet stove.
Our mankind has finally realized that we should start a new era right now. Otherwise human beings can disappear. We can simply disperse themselves in the depth of the universe. And I think that it would be rather fair because we should pay for all our actions. Unfortunately we’ve done a lot of fatal things. You know it’s closely connected with our attitude to the Earth. Though Earth is our native home we’ve been doing harm for our planet. It’s a shocking experience I think. Somebody from the outer space might think that we are going to commit suicide. Really there are some evident facts pointing out to this. The matter is that we’ve already destroyed and spoilt many unique things on the Earth. I think that we can wait for some time and this bomb will be set off. I mean the total destruction of our civilization which is quite possible if we don’t change the mankind completely.
We need new approaches for everything. We should completely new. It seems to me that we should be born ones again to be free of our current weak points. I think that being born once again can’t be harmful for us. Certainly this statement shouldn’t understand directly. Sure it’s somewhat hyperbolized. Every day it’s getting harder to breathe in due to the air pollution. I’ve heard from old people about the pure water of rivers and lakes. Yes, earlier you could make a stop by a river in order to take a couple of sips right at that river. Now it sounds to be dangerous but at that time nobody was afraid of drinking water from rivers because their water wasn’t polluted yet. For us living in the entirely polluted world it seems to be a fantasy. But that was real anyway. And moreover we must make it arise once again though it’s not easy at all.
There’s no more evident fact that we need energy every day. The whole world can’t exist without energy. But we keep on burning fossil fuels every day. And endless by – products of this every day burning proceeds with slowly killing us and everything alive on this planet. Certainly it’s clear that further burning fossil fuels must be given up immediately. Instead of it different alternative sources of energy should be used. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to carry out very quickly. But even for ordinary consumers there’s a possibility to take part in shaping a new world.
If you can’t wait any more, purchase a pellet stove and get a pleasure of using it immediately. Pellet stoves can be designed just for burning a particular kind of pellets, for example corn pellets. But there are rather universal pellet stoves for any kind of pellets. The main thing is that you’ll have an opportunity to use a real environmentally friendly technology for your home.
It is really amazing how gifted humans get when the time comes to be more self sufficient about energy. The energy crisis that is rumored about pushed many people to inventing alternative ways of taking care of energy issues. One of them - wood pellets which are really great and ecologically smart.

Oil Pollution And What It Is Doing To Our World? By Christopher Charles

What Is Oil Pollution Doing To Our World?
By Rick Shack
As you already know this situation is very complex. However, anyone over 50 years old can remember a childhood where the environment was quite different.
The world’s population insane dependence on fossil fuels (while there are acceptable and non-polluting alternatives) is basically killing our clean and environment, and us with it.
What is Oil Pollution?
oil pollution is simply the spilling of crude or refined petroleum product into the environment. There are some staggering statistics that follow.
These are statistics from the 1995 Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition, and have not been updated. It is estimated that the overall totals have increased two or three fold.
Accidental spills from ships : 140 Million tons
Routine maintenance of ships and equipment: 511 Millions tons
Air pollution in the rains (entering the seas): 348 Million tons
Land disposal of fuels entering the seas: 1,374 Million tons
Natural seepage (from sea sources) 234 Million tons
The above does NOT include China or India statistics. A total of 2,607 Millions of tons of petroleum had ended up in the environment (estimated in 1995). Now 11 years later, the total is estimated to have trippled, and we are witnessing a gradual increase in Earth temperature due to global warming, other alarming changes in the weather, pollution traces found in both the environment and animals (and plants) in the wild.
Despite the MARPOL rules (marine pollution act by the United Nations), and other legislation, oil pollution continues. A recent survey by marine
toxicologists have confirmed alarming amounts of damage to the livers in a wide spectrum of marine fish and mammals. Almost all fish sampled had high levels of heavy metals in the tissue (crude oil contains a great deal of heavy metal, vanadium among them, which is toxic to most animals).
The bottom feeders and marine crustaceans (also living on the bottom of the sea) had an equally high level of absorbed heavy metals and other pollutants (PCB and Dioxin for example).
The natural microbes and small aquatic life that can biodegrade the oil (into water and carbon dioxide) are overwhelmed and cannot cope. There is a lack of available nutrients in areas that surround oil spills, and oil pollution sites.
One sees large groups of whales or dolphins beaching themselves, and puzzled scientists to explain why. It doesn’t take much to figure it out. Whole species of plants and animals are disappearing on a regular basis.
Oil pollution can not be solved by legislation, or by being more careful. So much oil pollution enters the atmosphere, and then the environment, the only measure that we can take is to immediately reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. Places like California in the United States has already taken the first steps, but has not gone so far as outlawing the fossil fuel.
Knowing that there are fuel cells which can burn clean hydrogen, there are electric engines and solar cells to run the ubiquitous automobile. There is wind and wave power to create clean and non-polluting sources of electricity. Sadly the interests of big business are coming before the safety of the human race.
