Vegetarian and Global Warming

The movement back to nature, has not give the result. That happens because people use something, and eat any food into the stomach, without thinking whether it is necessary, how the process, and what its impact in the future. Environmental degradation and the low degree of human health, can not be denied due to his own behavior.

Urban and rural communities can participate in combat global warming by eating less meat. “Eat less meat, because eating less meat means reducing the farm. Cattle, goats, buffalo, sheep and poultry very important role in global warming. By eating less meat, which means also reducing the farm, it will affect the land to serve as green forest.

On the other hand, global warming could be reduced by promoting organic fertilization pattern which is believed can enriched oxygen. In addition, not to eat meat at all (vegetarians) means an individual has come to reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Vegetarians are strongly advised to reduce global warming. Vegetarians, in addition to maintaining a healthy body, also means that reduce the consumption of meat.

It’s about 16,000 liters of clean water per year must be spent to make the production of meat increased by one kilogram. Two-thirds of agricultural land used for livestock feed fulfillment. Whereas in the other hemisphere, occurred clean water crisis and famine. Let us reflect on it, what to do. For example, to become vegetarian (do not eat meat), don’t we saving water?.

Go green, the movement toward natural, can begin when people to become vegetarian. The fact that the meat is a source of various diseases, has very clearly exposed in a medical. Humans can live without meat, but can not live without plants.

Our lives must be organic because of the earth, our home is threatened and destroyed every day. “So the question is, do we really know and find a solution,” Being a vegetarian may be one solution that can be considered.

Stop Global Warming from Home

In Danish, the policy put a halt to global warming do to grass root level, the level of the home. More than half of Danish carbon emissions come from private consumption for heating, electricity, transportation, and consumer goods. Danish citizens are generally aware and know to global warming, climate change, and the need for energy savings. But not all apply in their everyday lives. Campaign and conducted by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Ministry of Transport and nationally. Finally about two years ago the idea of really smart and great with forming Climate and Energy Ministry, the two camps are usually highly stressed about the environment and carbon emissions!

Campaigns are conducted with everyday things that touch directly the activities of everyday life, with which citizens can directly calculate how much in expenses and how much long-term investment that accompanies it, if they reduce carbon emissions. Reducing carbon emissions and then became the daily topic in the “coffee shop”.

A very real example is when the Danish government issued a regulation on the rules to make the house. That all moving in the desired direction, only if the government really wanted (!), Then get out rules enforced, not just written a manufacturing process was expensive. So, come out the rules of the Building Code.

People will not be able to see what the benefits of energy efficiency. Government can. Must start from the government, so the people then knew, and then everyone could just walk. Can not be submitted to the public for granted.

The first principle is applied the principle of punishment and reward (stick and carrot) concerning the use of energy. They are energy-intensive high fees and instead they are using energy very efficiently to get the incentives.

The government will implement tax is very high energy. If energy is of no value, people will not appreciate it. They’ll throw it away from the window. That way, people began to always remember to turn off lights, installing air conditioning in the temperature was around 25 ° Celsius, and with that they can save significant expense.

Code of Ethics with a new building, the government is targeting a reduction of energy use, converted to oil-up to 25 percent-30 percent than in 2006. Existing buildings need an average of 14 liters of oil per square meter (lt/m2). In 2006 the use of energy equivalent to 5.5 lt/m2 homes by 2010 target is 3 lt/m2. After the year 2010 regulations will be tightened. Regulations that are mandatory. Gradually all buildings must have a certified “green house” or building “green”. Certificate issued by the Danish Energy Authority.

Buildings are certified with various price levels are higher than the old buildings that do not follow the rules of energy efficiency. However, lower operational costs. The ultimate goal is, “The passive (passive house) is a house that does not use fossil fuels, home without greenhouse gas emissions (Grk). At some point in the future.

Charlotte Green Houses

Following the code, the government appointed Stenløse housing in the area, about 30 minutes from Copenhagen, the Danish capital, to apply the rules of the green house.

Families with two children can install insulation into an important part of a home with energy efficiency. Insulation works to absorb heat and cold air from the outside so that the temperature inside the house is not too hot or cold. They do not need a lot of gas to heat homes. Gas heating in the building of new homes have been planted as an installation under the house so no longer metal rods in the house.

In addition, placement of windows with large glass also causes the use of electricity can always be suppressed because the house light. Insulation of windows is made up by import-glass windows with high insulation power from Switzerland.

Ground water savings made with rainwater with a reservoir at the bottom of the home page. Water was used for washing clothes, flushing toilets, and washing dishes. Because there is no Chlor it, just need a little detergent, washing is also faster so that the electricity used less.

Reduce global warming with kangaroos waste gas

Australian scientists are trying to adopt the workings of a kangaroo’s stomach to be applied to cows and sheep in an effort to reduce gas emissions that cause global warming.

According to the researchers, kangaroo stomach bacteria inhabited with special exhaust gas contains no methane kangaroos that had been considered to play a role in global warming. The researchers wanted to move the bacteria similar to the cow and sheep’s stomach to reduce methane emissions from the stomach animals.

Keep in mind, most greenhouse gas pollution comes from combustion in factories, industries and motor vehicles. But in some countries, livestock waste gases proved to have a high contribution of greenhouse gases contribute not environmentally friendly.

“Fourteen percent of gas emissions in Australia come from the stomachs of cows and sheep fart out when large amounts of methane,” said Athol Klieve, a senior researcher at the Queensland reported. “And if we calculate the methane gas emissions in New Zealand, which has more farms, the percentage had reached 50 percent.”

Scientists say, the kangaroo bacteria in the stomach also makes the digestive process more efficient and potentially save millions of dollars of feed costs for farmers.

“Not only to reduce methane gas, these bacteria will also produce about 10 to 15 percent more energy than that consumed animal food,” said Klieve.

However, researchers still need three years to isolate the bacteria before they can be “raised” in the cow and sheep’s stomach.
