We can still save our planet.

A clean planet requires large cuts from the nations that have the highest rates of infection,  especially from America, Australia and Europe. But there is hope to save this planet. Today we use energy more efficiently. The technology of environmentally friendly energy such as wind and solar energy is very close to the stage to become competitive and perhaps more economical than the energy provided by fossil fuels. The agreement to reduce carbon dioxide emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, can provide strong economic incentives for cleaner forms of energy. Soon, the majority of electricity comes from solar and most cars will be powered by hydrogen, while the creation of new forest areas and the special treatment of the habitat of the oceans will help to further reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere created previous generations.
The challenge is not difficult to win. We have the technology to perhaps avert the worst threat to human civilization that we face at the end of the last Ice Age. But there is real political will?Despite the ongoing industrialization in many parts of the world, the emission of carbon dioxide increased at the same rapid pace as expected. As we have seen, the emission of carbon dioxide globally has increased by only 6% in the decade of 1990. The current relatively low emission of pollutants can be attributed partly to the collapse of the economies of the USSR and Eastern Europe, but is still two long-term trends: the increased efficiency of energy use in many countries and reduce the use of a " dirty fuel, coal.

The treasure of the earth in your garden

A treasure in your own land waiting to be discovered.
The amount of energy beneath our feet are endless and unimaginable human action.

The construction is simple. The materials used and their treatment is known and trusted for decades.

The heat pump is usually installed in the basement.

The drilling is completed in one to two days.

The ground heat exchanger remain incorruptible and do not corrode like other outdoor facilities.

The garden is free for any use.

Solar Highways?

A different approach to energy problems and reducing CO2 emissions has the Solar RoadWays, based on the replacement of all traditional asphalt roads from highways to solar panels connected together. The creation of the solar highway will use solar panels street consisting of 3 layers:

    * The pavement: A layer strong enough to propel vehicles, but also transparent to solar radiation.
    * Layer Electronic: contains solar cells, local data storage and distribution.
    * Base layer: contains the transmission and distribution of energy and communications networks.
According to the Solar RoadWays solar highways could be built cheaply with tarmac roads, given that the lifetime of the apron is 7 years while the solar highway 21. The financial data should be added to the benefit of producing electricity through solarroadways, the benefit from the power distribution networks and data base layer of the solar highways, and reducing the need for building conventional power plants.
The advantages of solar highway should be added to the heat from the energy generated to clean the snow from the presence sensors for obstacles on the road, and the activation of LED lights at will to update the drivers.

Renewable energy sources

Mild forms of energy (or renewable energy sources (RES), or new energy sources or green power) are forms of usable energy from different natural processes, such as wind, geothermal, water circulation and more. The term "soft" refers to two basic characteristics. First, the operation does not require any active intervention, such as mining, extraction or burning, as with the hitherto used energy sources, but simply the exploitation of existing energy flow in nature. Secondly, it is "clean" energy, very "friendly" environment, not release hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide or toxic and radioactive waste, as other energy sources on a large scale. Thus, the RES is considered by many a starting point for solving the ecological problems facing the Earth.
"Renewable sources" are generally considered the alternative of traditional energy sources (eg oil or coal), such as solar and wind. The term "renewable" is somewhat unfair, since some of these sources such as geothermal energy is not renewable on a scale chiletion. In any case, the APE designed to solve the problem of the exhaustion of the (non-renewable) fossil fuel reserves. Latest from the European Union and many individual states adopted new policies for renewable energy, such as promoting domestic policies for the Member States. Renewable energies are the basis of economic development model of the green economy and a central focus of the ecological school finances, which has some influence on the environmental movement.

Australia invests in geothermal energy

Australia invests in geothermal energy,  Only 1% could produce "green" electricity for the next 26,000 years
The 1% of untapped geothermal energy lies underground in Australia could be used for electricity production-friendly environment for the next 26,000 years, Australian scientists claim.

The Australian government announced it is investing 50 million dollars in a project to develop technology to convert geothermal energy into electricity.

Until now, Australia produced 77% of its electricity from burning coal.

How do we know? What do we know? For Climate Change

When the weather changes daily, how can we know precisely how the climate really changing? Here is why getting the science. With evidence of live flowers, birds, butterflies, frogs, trees, glaciers and much more, gathered by scientists around the world. Sometimes the encouragement and assistance from young "citizen-scientists."
And here is where young people and children and parents and teachers can learn about climate change and contribute as they can to save the planet. Climate change is a very critical issue and a matter of time before we start to have deep concerns about the environment. Age does not matter. Enough that we desire and hope. Children can make a difference!

Energy Sources

The continued use of non-renewable energy sources, ie mainly oil and gas, is responsible for major environmental problems. Presented below photographs of the main of them.

The "extreme weather" events, heavy rains and floods, droughts, hurricanes have peak even in our country in recent years is the result of a prescribed course for any adult who does not feel the need to apologize to the coming generations .
All this is why we seek constantly to an unreasonable way of growth and prosperity. But any development is not synonymous with progress and prosperity. The development and progress are compatible only when secured and renewed the natural foundations of life, when this does not mortgage the future. But when the growth and progress refers only to the reporting and display of quantitative terms, of this growth and progress coexist with large, global environmental problems that are important:

 The increase in world population
The world population is currently estimated to amount to 6.1 billion in 2050 and is estimated to reach 9.3 billion. This is not the baby boom but also in reducing mortality.

 Over-exploitation of natural resources
According to WWF estimated that each year the pumping of natural resources over 20% of the planet's ability to replenish them. According to the same source estimated that by 2050 the global population will consume 180 to 220% of the biological resources of the planet.

 Climate change
The carbon dioxide produced by fossil is that it contributes heavily to climate change on earth.
This is the greenhouse effect whose consequences are unpredictable:
; Climate Change
· Effects of agricultural production
· Melting ice
· Rise in sea level
· Destruction of coastal areas and of course several other
