Why hybird Cars

The reason is simple. Despite the high efficiency of gasoline, the fuel made pollution to environment and fuel price is getting more expensive each day. Hybrid cars run on electric motor battery that can be recharged. In addition, hybrid cars can control pollution to minimize the global warming impact. Hmmm, this gets interesting. The next issue is to find information about the total cost to product hybrid cars

Type of hybird cars

The hybrid cars combining the power of a gasoline engine of the environmental advantage of an electric motor, what most considered a better car. There are essentially two types of hybrid cars on the market today. Hybrid cars use the gasoline engine to charge the battery. The battery operates the electric motor in the car. The gasoline engine is only use where electricity supply is needed. Another type of hybrid cars is getting the power from electric motor. Hybrid cars fuel consumption is around thirty to fifty miles per gallon of gasoline.

The toxic PS3, Wii, and Xbox

PS3, Wii, and Xbox contained high bromine in their circuit boards and plastic casings. Brominated flame retardants are not easily break up in the environment. Long-term exposure can lead to a deterioration of learning and memory functions. Bromine can also interfere with the thyroid and hormone estrogen and exposure in the womb can couse behavior problems.

Components of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 also a high level of phthalates, one of which - DEHP - is known to deal with sexual development in mammals: including the people and especially men.

How to build compost bin

Composting can be achieved in a compost pile. However, the construction of a compost bin is an effective way to reduce garden and kitchen waste. The important is compost bins should able to control heat and humidity to accelerate the composting process.

What you need to know, about the compost bin is about should not be greater than 3 m high and 3 meters wide. It is also necessary that is needed to place where it is not wet or shade, so that any organic material rots in a dark mass coward. If you want your own price Compost bin, you can make from old of corrugated iron or wood.

Try to build compost am fittings corner with 4, 4 meters long and must be inserted into the soil. The sides are made of 3 m long wood, 3 cm wide and at least 1 cm thick. You need six which for each side a total of 24 units. They are spaced about 4 cm in hand and screwed in the corner.

For removable side, a set of pieces of 3 inches shorter than others are screwed on two separate tracks corner of 2-5 cm wide and 1 cm thick. The unit slides in two fixed positions in the corner in groove or a channel made from two pieces of 3 m distance wood from both fixed corner of two thin strips of wood and 1one quarter of an inch thick and 1 cm wide. All wood must be treated against decay.

Global Warming 2100

All we now that people always talk about global warming. What is Global warming? Global warming is basically the increase in the temperatures of the Earth's atmosphere, land masses and oceans. The surface temperature of our earth is at an average of 59F, and over the last hundred years that figure to about 1F. By the year 2100, the average change in temperature on Earth could be in the range of 2.5F about 10F, enough to melt the glaciers and the polar ice caps.

Global warming is naturally always increased every year. Global warming become big problem in our lives is due to human activities, because human activities contributed significantly to the accident and the severity. This began about 240 years earlier, when the industrial revolution was begun. As more and more fossil fuels have been produced, and burned, gas as the byproduct of this process began to be released in the atmosphere. Currently it is estimated that 75% of the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the burning of these fossil fuels.

EASTERN SICHUAN, CHINA EARTHQUAKE

Earthquake data in china

1. Estimated population exposed by earthquake in China

2. Population exposure map


3.Facts about earthquake in China

  • Overall, the structures in this region are vulnerable to earthquakes shake, although some structures are stable. An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 suggested the Sichuan region of China on 23 August 1976 (UTC) with an assessment of exposure of the population from 1500 to IX or more intensity and in 5700 the intensity VIII, within 41 dead. In addition, a magnitude of 7.3 suggested that region in 1933, 6800 people killed. The recent earthquake in this area is also the danger of landslides, which have contributed to losses. Users should refer to the provisional nature of this information and the updates that additional data are available.

Earthquakes in last ten years

Did you know that in the last ten years, the number of earthquakes are more and more power, and is so? Something will have impact on our small planet.

> In 1998, there were 21688 earthquakes in the world: 30479 in 2005.
> In 1998 there were 7303 of 4.0-4.9 Richter scale: 13920 in 2005
> in 1998 there were 979 of 5.0-5.9 Richter scale: 1694 in 2005

Source: USGS (United States Geological Survey).

It could be that we are always better detection. It could be a freak anomaly. It could be something else. What we do know is that more earthquakes more energy on the Richter scale it will make a big damage for the environment. Remember that the earthquakes are on a logarithmic scale. An earthquake of 5.0 is ten times higher than 4.0. And a 6.0 is a powerful 100x more 4.0.

Is it possible we can replace fuel with salt water?

At the molecular level, salt water forming atoms of hydrogen, oxygen, sodium and chlorine. The radio waves at a frequency to disrupt the relationship between these molecules liberator of hydrogen in the form of free gas, which burns hot in the presence of oxygen, more than 3000 degrees, which is a lot of heat.
This may have been that we never knew, and never expected, but here it can be brief.

Wood Pellets as a source of renewable energy

Today the world watches the use of wood pellets. As a source of rich natural biodegradable pastilles the energy can be essential if the gas and petroleum fuels are exhausted. One of the reasons why these wood pellets are a renewable source of energy is due to the fact that they are made of wood. Although the wood burns the carbon dioxide emissions since the factory have consumed during their growth. It is also the carbon dioxide fossils are more and more in emissions to the total emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Wood pellets are basically comprised of wasted sawdust in its compressed form. Today several countries such as Sweden, Northern America, Denmark as well as Austria employ the usage of this form of energy. Currently the UK offers a conducive environment for the use of such wood pellets. In fact these are being increasingly used here as a biodegradable source of energy.

Printing green door on processes, reduce waste, recovery and realize that other environmentally-friendly measures led to friendly printing operation. These printing machines in their process must cause minimal damage to the environment. The main concern of a printing machine is green effectively manage waste. The objective is that less waste is produced, would mean less take measures to eliminate this waste. Waste Management is launching a pre-determination, efforts focus on pollution prevention; management processes photographic chemicals and use of used discs, etc. In addition, waste is separated into categories such as hazardous waste and non-hazardous. The discharge of hazardous waste is done in an environmentally sound way.

High volatile organic compounds are a major cause of air pollution in the printing industry. These links evaporate very quickly at room temperature, which not only adds more than substance, but also leads to air pollution. Green-printer with low VOC's, in its printing process, will have impact in reduction of emissions into the air and less consumption of materials.

Climate change

The climate has shifted in the past, and species have usually adapted. This time, however, man has placed a huge amount of infrastructure in the way of the gradual migratory shifts that would be essential to such adaptation. Climate change was recently identified as the number two likely cause of future species declines (after habitat loss).
In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term "climate change" often refers to changes in modern climate (Global Warming).
