In order to conserve our precious natural resources and contribute our part in being a responsible citizen and help reduce global warming, the first change and simple you have to do is get into the habit of recycling.

Recycling not only saves energy but also reduces fuel consumption and deforestation big. The rapid depletion green has not only affected the availability of resources, but also had a significant impact on global temperature in the world, and at both the survival of many living species.

Global warming, melting glaciers and ice caps, rising sea levels, climate change, untimely rains, freshwater shortages and reduced crop yields are among the main reasons why it is time that every responsible human takes a step toward recycling.

The next time you take an impression, think twice whether you really need. Can store information digital and read on the computer? Consider whether you can use both sides of paper for printing instead of throwing the valuable role in the box with an empty hand. Would you help much in reducing deforestation.

Consider how you can conserve energy at home and the workplace. Replace incandescent bulbs for energy-saving lamps. Do you not only reduce the amount you pay for your electricity bill, but contribute in reducing the concentration levels carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In addition, the materials needed to manufacture many of the gadgets we use are not biodegradable and therefore that pollute the environment that our planet is a playground downloads.

Recycling is known as a precedence from the United states. In actual fact, the usa recycles greater than 24 % of its waste. This can be the highest percentage from the industrialized entire world.

This can be only ideal considering the usa also creates essentially the most quantity of waste from the industrialized entire world. Recycling can bring out about economic and environmental gains.

The recycling sector has manufactured an important contribution to task development and economic growth from the United states. In 2000, the recycling sector was accountable for greater than one. one million jobs and also a yearly payroll of $37 billion. For each 10,000 tons of waste that may be recycled, 40 new jobs are created. If you ever had been to incinerate the ten,000 tons of waste alternatively, just one task can be created.

Also, for each worker there is certainly gathering goods that could be recycled, there are actually 26 employees that flip these goods into new merchandise. There are actually as a good number of employees from the recycling sector as there are actually from the car and truck manufacturing sector. Also recycling sector employees make more cash than employees in other industries.

Recycling help the world environment adjustments by minimizing greenhouse gasoline emissions.

Greenhouse gasoline emissions can end result from the manufacturing, use and disposal of merchandise. Greenhouse gasoline emissions really are a a part of nature and so they enable build climates that maintain existence on earth. If greenhouse gasoline emissions achieve unsafe focus levels, you then can see soaring world temperatures, sea degree adjustments as well as other environment adjustments. Recycling may help greatly reduce greenhouse gasoline emissions from the subsequent means:

Manufacturing paper, plastics, glass and steel from recycled materials requires much less power than manufacturing these merchandise from virgin materials as the recycled materials have previously been processed. Also if you ever had been to make use of virgin materials, you’ll ought to expend more power extracting and transporting the virgin materials. By way of example, recycling aluminum cans saves ninety five % in the power required to generate new aluminum from virgin materials. Recycling metal and plastics would call for 60 % and 70 % much less power, respectively, than generating these merchandise from raw materials. Recycling virtually any materials would require much less power than creating the materials from virgin materials. In 2005, recycling saved in excess of 900 trillion BTUs, that is precisely the same quantity of power put to use in 9 million households annually. This power conservation leads to much less fossil fuels getting burned.

This implies that much less carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gasoline, is launched to the environment. If six tons of glass and a single ton of aluminum had been recycled, then one ton and thirteen tons of carbon dioxide, respectively, would not be launched to the environment.

Recycling also retains materials from landfills. This can be beneficial as materials in landfills can decompose and launch methane gasoline. Methane gasoline is known as a greenhouse gasoline that may be twenty to thirty instances way more unsafe on the environment than carbon dioxide. Municipal sound waste landfills are accountable for 34 % of methane gasoline emissions attributed to Americans.

Waste combustion from incinerators can launch greenhouse gasoline emissions to the environment. Recycling can greatly reduce these emissions by keeping materials from incinerators. In 2003, recycling stored seventy two million tons of materials from incinerators and landfills.

Trees enable battle the world environment adjustments by absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it in wooden inside a operation termed carbon sequestration. Continued efforts to recycle paper would make it possible for way more trees to keep on to soak up carbon dioxide. If a ton of newspaper is recycled, 12 trees can be spared. Recycling a single ton of workplace paper would conserve 24 trees.

What is a solar oven? It is an oven that uses the sun’s energy to cook, bake, steam or broil all types of food, from pies, bread, cakes and cookies to barbeque, roasting an 18 pound turkey or pot-roast. Anything that can be cooked or baked in a conventional oven can be cooked or baked by the power of the sun in a sun oven in the same amount of time, if it is a cloud-free day. Sun oven/cookers have been around since the 17th century, and are becoming increasing more popular now for several good reasons.

• Solar sun ovens use the free renewable energy of the sun.

• They produce zero pollution and reduce “global warming.”

• Food tastes better when cooked by the heat of sun.

• Sun ovens do not destroy the valuable vitamins and nutrients.

• You cannot burn food that is cooked in a solar oven/cooker.

• You never have to stir the food as you do on a stove/range.

• Unlike conventional ovens, solar cooking does not heat the kitchen.

• Solar ovens cost a fraction of a conventional gas or electric oven.

Sun ovens are being used in over 128 countries around the world and are a tremendous deterrent to greenhouse gases. According to the World Health Organization, half of the world’s population uses wood, charcoal, coal, grass, tree bark, dried animal dung or kerosene to cook their meals. As a consequence, we are losing approximately one acre per second of our forests around the world (WHO).

One large box-type sun oven with reflectors can cook 1,200 meals per day and by using the power of the sun, save 150 tons of wood per year, resulting in the reduction of 277 tons of CO2 gas emissions annually. WHO reports that the carbon emissions from one cooking fire equals that of one automobile. Millions of women and children die annually from breathing in the toxic smoke from cooking fires equivalent of three packs of cigarettes or more a day.

There are many different types of sun oven/cookers, ranging from DIY aluminum foil-covered cardboard boxes to a parabolic cooker made from a discarded satellite dish. The efficiency or effectiveness of a solar cooker/oven depends largely on the design and materials used. The best, most efficient solar ovens are the box type design that are well insulated and utilize a tempered glass door to protect the food and help hold in the heat. A well designed oven should reach 350-400 degrees F. within 25 minutes and hold a constant temperature throughout the cooking or baking process.

The large solar sun ovens are saving lives and our environment, and they are providing food for hospitals, schools, orphanages and even entire villages in South America, Africa and Asia. Several solar oven manufacturers contribute a portion of their annual sales profits to supply free ovens to thousands of families. Unfortunately, this is a daunting task which requires the concerted effort of many more people like you.

By purchasing a sun oven from one of these philanthropic companies, you not only contribute to decreasing the size of your own carbon footprint, but you are investing in the healthy future of a family in another developing country. Plus, you are protecting the environment, saving money, using free renewable energy, cooking healthy and having fun at the same time.

Solar cooking and baking is not only a wise choice, it is truly a bright idea waiting to happen. Be bright, be happy, be healthy, have fun, cook with the sun.

I’m near the end of one of the funniest books I have ever read. I would have waited to finish, but I didn’t want you to miss out on a single moment of the hilarity. For the laugh of a lifetime, you must rush out right now and buy “Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need A Green Revolution And How It Can Renew America ” by the New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman.

To give you a taste of the enjoyment that awaits you, I’ll share just one of the many, many knee slappers that you’ll find in the book.

Friedman shares an uproarious anecdote that he was told by Princeton engineering professor Robert Socolow and Princeton ecology professor Stephen Pacala. The two professors rival comedian “Professor” Irwin Corey in their ability to tell a joke.

Socolow and Pacala suggest 15 “wedges” that will be required to “conserve large amounts of energy and prevent CO2 emissions” (not prevent the emissions, mind you, just “conserve energy”). Here are four of the “wedges.” Read them and see if you can hold back the laughter (I couldn’t):

1. “Double fuel efficiency of two billion cars from 30 miles per gallon to 60 mpg.”

2. “Drive two billion cars only 5,000 miles per year rather than 10,000, at 30 miles per gallon.”

3. “Raise efficiency at 1,600 large coal-fired plants from 40 to 60 percent.”

4. “Replace 1,400 large coal-fired electric plants with natural-gas-powered facilities.”

I’d share the other eleven “wedges,” but I’m laughing so hard I can’t type.

I’m sure you’re asking, “What’s so funny?” The humor comes from the fact that our politicians will never pass anything remotely like the “wedges” proposed by Socolow and Pacala. Democrats and Republicans are barely functioning now. They will never agree to do something really hard like saving the planet. And, without systemic and committed change efforts, as Friedman makes abundantly clear, we are doomed. The joke, unfortunately, is on us.

With this in mind, I’d like to offer a “modest proposal” for saving the planet. My proposals have the advantage of being easy (they require no sacrifice and actually reward an increase in CO2 emissions) and guarantee the preservation of the planet.

In honor of Socolow and Pacolow, I’ll call these my “wedge” issues:

1. Require that every American purchase the heaviest SUV currently being manufactured. Purchasers will receive generous tax breaks. Tax breaks will be contingent upon the purchaser proving that the vehicle has been driven at least 25,000 miles during the calendar year. Those who cannot afford an SUV will receive one as part of an entitlement package that will include vouchers to purchase gasoline.

2. Require that all new home construction be limited to homes of at least 6,000 square feet. Homeowners will be able to deduct the entire cost of their mortgage from their taxes. The homeless will be provided with public housing such that every homeless person will have at least 6,000 feet of personal living space. Those currently owning homes of less than 6,000 square feet will be offered incentives to expand their living space.

3. Homeowners who insist on any type of insulation or who install solar panels or any other “conservation equipment” (or who currently have such equipment on their homes) will be required to pay a 10% income tax surcharge.

4. Monetary compensation will be offered for every mile driven to work. Compensation will be on a sliding scale. The farther the drive, the greater will be the compensation. The cost of this compensation will be paid by a corresponding increase in the fares paid by those who take public transportation to work.

5. Pollution controls will be immediately removed from all coal fired power plants. There will, of course, be no requirement for pollution controls on new plants.

6. The Environmental Protection Agency will be immediately abolished. Money formally spent on this agency will be used to create a new “Business Protection Agency” whose job it will be to find and eliminate regulations that hinder pollution as well as species eradication.

7. Homeowners and building owners will be required to leave all interior and exterior lighting on from just before sunset to just after sunrise. Fluorescent lighting and compact fluorescent bulbs will be replaced with lighting of the maximum wattage possible. Homeowners and building owners will be required to maintain an interior temperature of 85 degrees fahrenheit in winter and 70 degrees in summer.

8. Since Americans consume more energy per capita than any other people on earth, monetary rewards will be given for the birth of each American child. The cost of these rewards will be defrayed by a tax on childless individuals and couples as well as couples with fewer than three children.

I’m sure that, with a little of our great American ingenuity, we can come up with a lot more “earth saving” ideas (space limitations prevent me from mentioning the possibilities offered by hiring bounty hunters to hunt and eradicate species, the joys of deforestation and mountain top removal and, of course, the pleasure of ending recycling in favor of rewards to people who dump plastic bags into our lakes and streams).

But how, you may ask, will this save the earth? After all, each of these ideas will accelerate global warming and the accompanying death of the people on the earth.

Exactly! You’re finally getting the point. After all, since the “wedge” ideas proposed by Socolow and Pacow have a zero chance of being implemented, the only hope for the earth is to do all we can to speed our demise. Only when we are gone will the earth have even a moderate chance of reconstituting itself as a healthy, living environment.

So come on people. We can do it. Let our chant be:

One, two, three, four

We don’t want to breathe no more.

Five, six, seven eight

Do all you can to eradicate

Nine, ten and eleven

All polluting children go to heaven.

And God bless us everyone.

If you live anywhere except under a rock, you most likely know Lake Lanier in Georgia has been facing its worst drought since it was built in the early fifties. In 2007, the lake hit the record low of 1050.79, which was a little over twenty feet below full pool. Last year the media nationwide was all over the lake level. Pictures were on the news every day of boats stuck high and dry on the shore. A cemetery that was never moved became visible.

In 2008, the media has not covered the condition of the lake due to other important issues facing society. With the lack of media coverage, many believe the lake level has recovered and it is not an issue. This could not be further from the truth. As of early November, the lake level is down approximately 19 feet. Last year at the same time, the lake level was down approximately thirteen feet. If the rest of the year proves to be dry, the record low of last year may soon be broken. The one good note is that the lake level is not falling as fast as last year. As a result the expected lake level should not surpass the record low of last year, but that is only a hope. Most of the drop for this year was carried over from last year. The million-dollar question is “When will we get an above normal rainfall for the year?” Hopefully 2009 will be the year we are waiting for to bring us out of the disaster. If it does not happen, I believe the number of business around the lake that go out of business will be staggering.

The economic impact of the drought on the surrounding counties of Lake Lanier has to be substantial. Being on the lake every day as a fishing guide, it is easy to see the number of people enjoying the lake is down fifty percent. From my observations, I would dare to say the number of large boats over 24 feet is down more than fifty percent. According to Jeff at the core of engineers, the revenue collected by the core from the parks and campgrounds is down fifty percent. Talking to Holiday Marina, the fuel sales are down fifty percent. Most of the boat dealers around the lake have cut their staff to bare bones. Most of the boat sales around the lake are from customers from surrounding lakes.

Access points around the lake are down to a hand full on each side of the lake. Most of the boat ramps have been closed for over a year. Due to contributions from the local community, a few of the ramps have been extended. However, most of the ramps that were extended were only down to the water’s edge. With the lake level being down seventeen feet, most of these extensions are still unusable. The one ramp extension with the biggest impact was Charleston Park on the west side of the lake. The ramp was extended below the water line so that the ramp would still be open until the lake drops to 1045, which is 26 feet below full pool.

The future of the lake is going to face many challenges. The need for water will become more critical with each passing year. As we all know, the litigation for control of the water will continue for years. Hopefully, our elected officials, core of engineers, and court system will make the right decisions.

For those of you who have not been out on the lake, the lake is still safe to travel if you proceed with caution. The core of engineers does a great job marking any shallow areas. This does not mean to throw caution to the wind. Do not take any short cuts between any islands, stay in the main channel when possible, and keep a close eye on your depth finder. All of the businesses around the lake will greatly appreciate the business.

I just bought a new mobile phone. I'll put the old away. How long does it work?

This is an old Nokia 1100 are very difficult. I will charge the battery to stop and put it in the trash just before the trash was emptied. My question is …. How long will it continue to work for …. NO I am NOT going to take to a recycling center or charity shop, because I'm not a hippie. And I'm not worried about getting a couple of pounds for it on eBay or … F-ck off you hippies.

Great idea – which is paying for electricity. I bet you leave the charger at all times as well! I hope the power in the battery will last the same time as it does now. . . . of course, the actual battery will go on poisoning the planet for a few hundred years and the plastic will last about 400 years. Enough good?

In the nature of things, sometimes the reaction to continue only when a disaster occurs, ie when it is too late. As disasters leave their deadly impact, and after so many innocent people lost their lives, there will be accusations and the outcry from the blood. Such was the case of the recent floods in Istanbul. Since 1967, Istanbul suffered 13 floods that inevitably caused havoc and destruction around the city. Apparently, there was no mitigation measures put in floods way before the floods in September 2009. The last flood in 2002, although the experience had not led to any rethinking of policies vis-à-vis urban planning. Time is described as an "accident waiting to happen." What happened was beyond the concept of accident, which happened to be a terrible disaster. (i)

In the worst of the torrential rains, access to sections of Istanbul as the road between Istanbul Ataturk International Airport cut it. When the two streams have overflowed Istanbul, homes and workplaces in neighboring areas suffered severe flooding, with damage to property and infrastructure. In the fury of floods, the roads became fast flowing rivers drowning many caught on the way to work. The rising waters flipped trucks and buses over matches as, compress, in piles of rubble. The disaster of the low areas on the west side of Turkey's largest city, where drainage is often poor. The rising flood, he moved at high speed, barreling through a major highway and in the business districts of Istanbul, and engaged in the capture process workers factory and truck drivers in their vehicles. Hundreds of homes and offices were flooded, the water in some places two feet high. Emergency officials confirmed some 1,700 homes and offices were flooded in the suburbs of Istanbul in Silivri.

The damages were again fresh reminders to exercise care in the design of urban development plans. Poor urban planning, obviously will lead to inadequate infrastructure and aggravated by rapid population growth, increasing urban risk in magnitude. The Istanbul Chamber of Commerce states that any damage caused by floods range from $ 80 million to $ 90 million.

The Department of Meteorology, Istanbul, said the rainfall was the heaviest recorded in the last 80 years. Clearly, the infrastructure crunch in Istanbul was unable to cope with the surge of water. Distorted and unplanned development, over inadequate infrastructure have led to water flows are blocked from reaching the sea through natural channels. The authorities acknowledged that the disaster is a result of gross negligence "attributed to waves of illegal construction in channels river in Istanbul. The exercise great care in designing the urban infrastructure and increasingly critical, especially in the case of Istanbul, which is located on the steep banks of the Bosphorus.

Of rapid population growth in Istanbul had been nurtured by decades of migration rural-urban impoverished areas. Therefore, the city, a metropolis of 15 million developed without adequate infrastructure to accommodate everything from a moderate rain. First Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the flooding "the disaster of the century". While blaming the high death toll from torrential rains also pointed his finger at developers who built the buildings vulnerable in river beds and flood plains. Erdogan said quoting a local "river revenge is strong. "Various urban planning experts said government officials also are partly to blame for the high number of deaths. Chamber Architects in Istanbul, claimed that the city administration created these conditions by allowing high-density construction in the affected areas. The Chamber requests a warrant, but was unsuccessful in preventing the construction of industrial and commercial areas in the western districts of Istanbul, around the river Ayamama, where much of the flooding. You can not be absorbed by soil, water rises from the river banks have become concrete channels, along with the buildings around. And there are new warnings of major disasters.

The prime factors of flash floods on several occasions been attributed to urbanization contingency and the resulting erosion. Inadequate drainage systems and the misuse of land add to the risks involved. Uncontrolled construction in a relaxed planning urban, without careful consideration for risk reduction is a recipe for disaster. The weight and strength of any pressure applied to the extreme limits eventually break the walls of resistance. Any student of Urban knows that extreme pressure, breaking dams, sewers to overflow the banks, while highways and streets become flooded watercourses fatal.

Therefore, rapid urbanization should be held on issues of urban planning, facility development infrastructure designed for the needs and population growth. Urban development has its own risks. Uncontrolled, unplanned and United Nations disastrous event will be run.

Surprisingly, Turkey is no stranger to floods. The reports prepared by the Ministry of Public Works General Directorate of Disaster Affairs of State Water Works (DSI), revealed that the floods are the most destructive disaster in the country second. According to the report, 287 floods have occurred in Turkey in the past 20 years. Major floods are not new for Turkey.

Database International Emergency Disaster (EM-DAT) indicated that between 1903 and 2003, Turkey experienced 32 major floods. The economic losses in the past 20 years is estimated at $ 2 billion. The impact of the floods in the development, economic growth could be a tremendous burden. With the flood scenarios events that are repeated often, it is remarkable to know that the Turkish authorities donates 30 million each year for infrastructure measures to prevent flooding. The flash prevention program flood that DSI implemented since 1970, apparently made in reducing the number of annual flooding significantly. (Ii) which may be the case for the program National flood prevention, but the disastrous scenes in Istanbul clearly indicate that deficiencies in mitigation measures soon whip back with fury.
