Green Living Q & A

What do you think the best eco-friendly car is?

Doesn’t have to be just based on mpg or co2 emissions, but also price, practicality and performance as well.

Please state why as well, thanks

What are ‘plug-in hybrids’? Are these cars always eco-friendly?

Another barrier, Mr. Smith said, lies in the batteries for so-called plug-in hybrids, which require more powerful batteries that charge more quickly than the current generation of hybrid batteries.

What are the best ‘small cars’ which are eco friendly and don’t consume too much petrol?

im getting a new car.

What’s the most eco-friendly car in the UK?

My rustbucket’s just been scrapped and I while i love my bike and my feet and my rollerblades, i would like to replace the deceased automobile for trips to the diy store and surfing beaches.

i have under 3k to spend and want to get the most eco–friendly second hand car available (from 2001 onwards).

I’ve seen loads of websites rating 2005/2006 models but I can’t afford them and would rather have a second-hander. Where can i find information about eco–friendly models from the past five years?

i don’t mind which fuel (diesel, petrol or vegetable oil).

Thanks!

Are cars eco-friendly…?

Today around 500 million cars travel the streets of the world… Cars need fuel, rubber, metal, plastic and synthetic fibres…
What is environmentally wrong today?…

Does Yahoo know about Synthetic trees? Global Warming?

Apparently, some scientist guy has come with a way to fight global warming. For Real. A scientist has invented an artificial tree designed to do the job of plants.

But the synthetic tree proposed by Dr Klaus Lackner proposes does not much resemble the leafy variety.

“It looks like a goal post with Venetian blinds,” said the Columbia University physicist, referring to his sketch at the annual AAAS meeting in Denver, Colorado.

But the synthetic tree would do the job of a real tree, he said. It would draw carbon dioxide out of the air, as plants do during photosynthesis, but retain the carbon and not release oxygen.

If done to scale, according to Dr Lackner, synthetic trees could help clean up an atmosphere grown heavy with carbon dioxide, the most abundant gas produced by humans and implicated in climate warming.

He predicts that one synthetic tree could remove 90,000 tonnes of CO2 in a year – the emissions equivalent of 15,000 cars.

“You can be a thousand times better than a living tree,” he said.

Carbon sinks

For now, the synthetic tree is still a paper idea. But Dr Lackner is serious about developing a working model. His efforts suggest the wide net of ideas cast by scientists as they face the challenge of mitigating climate change.

Dr Lackner believes that carbon sequestration technology must be part of the long-term solution. Global reliance on fossil fuels will not decrease any time soon, he said, and developing countries cannot be expected to wait until alternatives are available.

The technology calls for two things – seizing carbon and then storing it. Direct capture of CO2, from power plants for example, is the simplest, according to Dr Lackner. But this doesn’t work for all polluters. A car can’t capture and store its carbon dioxide on-board; the storage tank would be too large.

“It’s simply a question of weight,” he said, “for every 14 grams of gasoline you use, you are going to have 44 grams of CO2.”

The alternative is to capture emissions from the wind. In this case, a synthetic tree would act like a filter. An absorbent coating, such as limewater, on its slats or “leaves” would seize carbon dioxide and retain the carbon.

Dr Lackner predicts that the biggest expense would be in recycling the absorber material.

“We have to keep the absorbent surfaces refreshed because they will very rapidly fill up with carbon dioxide,” he said. If an alkaline solution such as limewater were used, the resulting coat of limestone would need to be removed.

Dr Lackner is considering other less-alkaline solutions to prevent carbonate precipitation.

“There are a number of engineering issues which need to be worked out,” he said.

Home use

A synthetic tree could be planted anywhere. A small one could sit like a TV on the lawn to balance out the CO2 emitted by one person or family.

But more practically, said Dr Lackner, a device the size of a barn would sit in the open air, near repositories for easy transportation and storage of carbon.

He estimated that 250,000 synthetic trees worldwide would be needed to soak up the 22 billion tons of CO2 produced annually.

But not everyone is rooted to the idea. Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer Howard Herzog thinks Dr Lackner’s design won’t hold together on the scale he proposes.

He said you would expend more energy in capturing the CO2 – in keeping the slats coated in absorbent and disposing of it – than you’d save.

“Once the solvent captures the CO2, it holds it on tight,” said Dr Herzog, “and it’s going to take a lot of energy to break those bonds.”

He said that much more research is needed on the technology.

“The idea of air capture is seductive and would really be great to have,” said Dr Herzog, “but it’s important to separate out the concept from the technical details.”

‘Early days’

Meanwhile, Dr Lackner is pursuing his idea for carbon storage. While he was at the US Department of Energy‘s Los Alamos National Laboratory, his team worked on a storage method based on a natural chemical process known as rock weathering.

When CO2 binds with magnesium, it creates carbonate rocks which, according to Dr Lackner, retain carbon permanently and safely.

Currently, he said, the process is still too expensive to develop on a large scale.

But Dr Lackner is optimistic that the costs for carbon capture and storage will come down.

“This is still the early days of climate solutions,” he said.

When will we have the resolve to build more Nuclear Power Plants; which emit NO CO2 into the Environment?

“The nuclear option should be retained precisely because it is an important carbon-free source of power.”

“Taking nuclear power off the table as a viable alternative will prevent the global community from achieving long-term gains in the control of carbon dioxide emissions.”

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University

As of 204, France produced 78% of its energy needs from Nuclear Power, while at the same time the United States produces only 20%, while generating 57% of its Electricity from Coal that accounts for 90% of CO2 emissions.

it is true that fish oil can help against manic depression?

http://www.oism.info/it/farmaci/alternative_naturali/olio_di_pesce_contro_depressione_maniacale.htm

The fish oil can help against manic depression.
Effectiveness of Omega 3 oils in dealing with manic depression, schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity, the LDCs, etc..

Dr. Ann Blake Tracy: In September 1998 the National Institute of Health conducted a seminar on the effectiveness of Omega 3 oils in dealing with manic depression, schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity, the LDCs, etc.. Now a new study supports those reports. Although the study was addressed only to oil fish, linseed oil is not recommended because it exposes a potential toxicity-toxicity due to polluted waters where the pesci.________________________________________
Scientists believe they have found a surprising new ally in their efforts to understand and treat acute sudden changes of mood of manic-depression fatty acids of fish. A clinical experiment at Harvard University on 44 patients suffering from manic depression, or bipolar, have had positive results with fish oil the experiment was stopped after 4 months and all patients were put into care with 14 capsules daily.
The fish oil is rich in fatty acids omegs-3, a family of polyunsaturated fatty long chain that have been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and other health benefits. The highest concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids are in the eye and brain, where neurobiologi believe are essential for the proper functioning of cell membranes. If the levels of omega-3 fatty acids are too low, have assumed, then the streets are essential chemical sopraffatte may arise and mental disorders.
The study conducted at Harvard was the first significant scientific gaze on the effects of fish and its fatty acids on manic-depression that is estimated to affect between 1 and 2 percent of Americans at some point in life. The disorder produces surges from the levels of energy and mood abnormemente senior maniacalità of acute depression, and is generally treated with drugs other than those prescribed for unipolar depression, the most common form of depression. (It has been estimated that 20 percent of Americans suffer from some form of depression throughout life).
But some researchers believe that omega-3 fatty acids play an equally important role in unipolar depression. Joseph Hibbeln of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, has discovered an amazing correlation between the consumption of fish and depression. The society in which people eat much fish, he discovered, have markedly lower levels of depression compared with the society in which people did not eat much fish. Does his work “suggestive” rather than conclusive.
Stoll said that it unbeaten in fish as a possible cure for manic depression when he reviewed the literature on compounds from the effects similar to traditional drugs such as lithium and Valproato. “Wherever the guardammo were the omega-3,” he said. “We had heard of the omega-3 to medical school, but there was given much attention since then.” While fish oil has long been used as a dietary supplement safe, doctors warn that may oxidize if not is stored properly.

Popular Name of Country A shorter version of a country’s conventional long form name is often its more popular name. Include the popular name for each country in this briefing.

Capital City Provide the name of the city that is the official seat of government for each country in this briefing. Usage Note: The term used for the city that serves as a seat of government is spelled capital. The term used for the building in which a legislative assembly meets is spelled capitol.

Administrative Divisions Countries are often divided into smaller units called states, provinces, or territories. There may be many such units, as in the 50 states of the United States of America, or there may only be a few such divisions. Provide the number of administrative divisions for each country in this briefing.

Other Major Cities Major cities are large population centers where important economic and social activities take place. Provide the names of three such cities for each country in this briefing.

Area Many of the statistics used in the study of geography have to do with the different areas of the earth’s surface. The area of a country is the extent of the surface enclosed by its boundaries. There are several ways to measure area.

In the U.S. system, area is measured in square miles. A square mile is equal to a square in which each side is one mile long. A smaller area of land may be measured in acres. An acre is 43,560 square feet, or equal to a square in which each side is 208.7 feet long. There are 640 acres in one square mile.

The metric system is another way of measuring area. An area that is one square kilometer is smaller than a square mile because a kilometer is shorter than a mile. A smaller area of land may be measured in hectares. A hectare is equal to a square of land in which each side is 100 meters long. The following is a chart to help you convert measurements of area in the two systems:

To Convert: Multiply By:
Sq. miles to sq. kilometers 2.59
Sq. kilometers to sq. miles 0.3861

Does James Cameron know …?

that the extortionists who rammed the North American Free Trade Agreement down our collective throats blackmailed canada into agreeing that the united states of america holds proprietary rights over canada’s natural petroleum resources, and that the agreement further states that neither the government nor the people of canada have the right to any of those resources until the energy demands of the united states of america are met?

That was a question.

As an apparent individual concerned with native and environmental issues, is Jim aware that if you’re going to publicly fish slap people or entities in the face and accuse them of wrong-doing with the Athabaska Tarsands, it also appears either ignorant or deliberately disingenuous not to fish slap who is truly responsible instead of a politically convenient and unresponsible scapegoat?

Is he also aware that such actions tend to make it appear to critical thinking people that Jim might be somebody’s spokesman talking out of both sides of his chops at once?

These are all questions to consider, don’t you think?

Isn’t that another question?

A:Special measures were taken in America and Japan by fitting special converters to car exhausts to control vehicle fumes.

“By the end of the ’60s the environment was in fashion – The New York Times carried over 1,600 articles on environmental issues in 1970, eight times as many as it had in 1960.”

A:In what way did “The New York Times” show a growing interest in the environment?
A:The New York Times showed a growing interest in the environment by publishing more than 1,600 articles in 1970, eight times as many as it had in 1960.

“In 1972, 113 countries met at a UN conference in Stockholm tp discuss these problems – a landmark itself. But in the 1980s most of them still remain unsolved.
Do you think that pollution problems were solved by the conference in Stockholm? Justify.
A:No. Most of pollution problems remain unsolved in Stockholm, even in the 1980s.

Democrat or Republican? – First time voter in 2012?

I will be 18 then, I was wondering what political party is best for me?

Abortion – I think it should be legal, but controlled more.
Euthanasia – I think it should be legal, but controlled, people should get counseling before they do it.
Immigration – I think legal immigration should be capped at a certain number and I think all illegals should be deported.
Gun Rights – I think the idea of gun control is good, but in a country like America where so many people already have guns its undoable so I think it should be left alone.
Environmental Issues – I think we should try and cut emissions and put pressure on countries like Brazil to protect the Rainforest
Health Care – I don’t support it, its not my fault some people can’t be bothered to work.
Gay Marriage – I’m against that, no offense to gay people but its not right in my opinion.
Iraq and Afghanistan – I think we should leave.

I’m excited about being able to vote 🙂

What do you make of the new study finding that 31 states could be self-reliant with renewable energy?

A new report from the New Rules Project finds that over 60% of all U.S. states have the renewable energy resources to be “energy self-reliant.”

For example, North Dakota could provide 14,000% of its energy needs with wind alone. 19 states could provide more than their total energy needs with just onshore wind (see page 13). A further 6 states could provide more energy than they need with offshore wind. Alaska could provide for all its energy needs with just conventional geothermal. Almost every state could provide all of its energy needs with enhanced geothermal, although this technology is excluded because it’s not yet mature enough.

Combined, 31 states could be self-sufficient using only current renewable energy technology (see page 23). 11 states could provide over 10 times more energy from renewable sources than they need.

The study also finds that most states could reduce their energy needs by 50-75% by meeting California’s energy efficiency (page 25).

Interesting stuff. What are your thoughts on this study?
Rio, I suggest you look up the definition of the term “literally”. I also suggest you provide relevant answers which don’t contain baseless bashing of the best state in the country.

Is this a good essay on man vs nature?

I have to write an essay on who is crueler man or nature is this good

Who is more cruel:
Man or Nature

Man and nature are two different forces that act alike in many ways, nature has many dangerous attributes or forms such as a tsunami or an earthquake but it can also be peaceful and harmless such as a butterfly. Man has traits that resemble the one’s previously stated some are evil and selfish, others peaceful and generous.Some say man is far more cruel than nature others disagree, but why do most people think man is crueler than nature ?

Nature is equivalent to the natural world and refers to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. Nature can positively influence humans and everything existing, for example rain can help fertilize the soil for better growth of plants and similarly the sun’s light provides energy to green plants through photosynthesis. Although nature acts positively in many ways it also acts in a negatively.
For example volcanoes release boiling hot magma that destroys land and causes deaths, in 1815 a volcano erupted in Indonesia which killed approximately 92,000 people. Similarly this year there was an earthquake in Haiti on the 12th of January that had a magnitude of 7.0 and killed about 230,000 people,left 1,000,000 people homeless and had 52 aftershocks with a magnitude of about 4.5.

Man represents all homo sapiens or all humans that existed in the past and present time.Like nature, man has many positive influences to help develop a better world, for example many people study medicine to help heal people from diseases and injuries and some become enforcers of the law and protect the citizens of an area from criminals breaking the law. In contrast many other humans act negatively by disobey laws or causing chaos. For example Adolf Hitler was a very cruel german leader who believed that people that people who were handicapped or physically disabled or believed in a different religion did not deserve to live,he sent soldiers to capture them and kill them using a gas chamber and/or other cruel ways of death. Some humans also cut down trees and rain forests just to open a factory. Some overuse non-renewable resources which we can never regain( coal,oil,natural gas etc.) carelessly without thinking about the environment they are polluting and the after math of the situation. What really strengthens my opinion that man is far more cruel than nature is because unlike nature man has a conscience on whether or not to something.

In conclusion nature and man both influence the world positively and negatively equally throughout our current generation and the ones of the past, what really strengthens my opinion that man is far more cruel than nature is because unlike nature man has a conscience on whether or not to something.
