Saving Earth

Throughout history, humans have searched for better energy sources and better ways to harvest energy. A rough estimation of mankind’s energy consumption through different periods of history is displayed in the figure.

A study which published in “science” this week shows that intact rainforests and coral reefs both act towards cloud seeding to produce rain. This study shows that an rainforest acts as its own ‘bioreactor’, whereby clouds and precipitation are produced by the abundance of plant materials in the ecosystem.

From 1945 to 1962, the U.S military detonated many atomic and hydrogen bombs in the atmosphere. One of the few cameramen who documented the explosions and their destructive effects George Yoshitake,82,shares his experiences

Good news isn’t always easy to come by when it comes to issues related to health, the economy, or the environment in developing nations. However, there are a host of new technologies trying to ensure that changes. Here are five green tech projects, the big and the small, taking place in the developing world, doing their part to make this world a better place.


Solar Photovoltaic Farms- Portugal:
Portugal produces 1/3 of its energy from renewable sources. In having to quickly respond to a shortage of oil, coal and gas, Portugal is now an EU leader in the clean tech revolution. In less than three years, Portugal has trebled its hydropower capacity, quadrupled its wind power, and is investing in more photovoltaic plants. What is to be the world’s largest solar photovoltaic farm is taking shape near Moura, generating electricity straight from sunlight . It is expected to supply 45MW of electricity each year, enough to power 30,000 homes.

I think we all understand need to preserve earth’s resources. This includes all from water to coal, oil.Better steps need to be taken to safeguard freshwater which is becoming more scarce day by day.

One might think that Earth is covered mostly by wate(70%)r there is there is copiousness or H2O for everybody.But only 3% of the 70% is from freshwater and part of the 3% is trapped in polar caps.Due to rainfall or layer H2O can be cruise a renewable apparatus however flood amounts have been never certain. We can never envision how most belligerent H2O or stream and lake H2O we will have to pull out the freshwater supplies. From wickedness to droughts freshwater is a apparatus everybody should essay to protect.

Mosquitoes can cause several dangerous diseases like malaria,West Nile,dengue etc.The chemical based repellents can prevent mosquitoes and other insect bites but can cause several problems like rashes especialliy to babies.Hence an organic, Earth-friendly repellent is necessary.Here is a recipe for Mosquito and insect repellent.

In a surprising new research, scientists have said that although the hole in the ozone layer is now steadily closing, but its repair could actually increase global warming in the southern hemisphere.
The Antarctic ozone hole was once regarded as one of the biggest environmental threats, but the discovery of a previously undiscovered feedback shows that [...]

Here is the list of 10 worst nuclear accidents in history.
windscale Fire, October 10, 1957
The accident occurred when the graphite core of a British nuclear reactor caught fire. The fire resulted in a release of a significant amount of radioactive contamination. It was estimated that the incident caused an increase in thyroid cancer cases.No [...]

Small steps can save earth.We can all go a little more green. Here are just a few of the things to go green.These steps require least effort on your part but make a huge difference when it come’s to saving our planet earth.

Travel by walk or bike for short distances.
Carpool to events and parties,or offer [...]
