If you go to the supermarket, you will see that there are many products start to introduce their new concepts, back to nature. These days, more and more people become worried about this planet earth, this is one reason why such a concept becomes famous. The damage to Mother Earth is getting worse and terrible, and only a little thing we can do about it. And for you, you wish to do something more, but what kind of contribution you can give?

Whether you realize it or not, every day you use so much energy, especially electricity energy. This huge energy consumption is one thing that damages the nature and you are required to fix this situation. Solar energy is the best way out when you are facing such a problem because the energy produces by solar system comes from the sun. The system of the tools you have, use the sun as their battery and they keep it until you turn the tools on and use it.

The solar panel is one example of it. By installing a solar energy system to your house, there are several benefits you may obtain such as exterior coating and interior heater, blow-in insulation, solar hot water heater and much more. Can you imagine you live in a modern house with modern tools, but still you contribute your energy as part to save more electricity usage?

Activities reducing emissions from greenhouse gases-GHG-, usually known as mitigation, these cover a range of measures, policies and technologies implemented in the different sectors of the economy and human activity in general, resulting in a fewer tons of GHG released into the atmosphere, either by reducing the increase in emissions or increasing terrestrial carbon storage as a result of the implementation of mitigation actions.

Currently there are a variety of activities to reduce GHG emissions applying to sectors such as energy, transportation, waste, agriculture, forestry and industry, which are linked to the development of international and national policies on climate change. Mitigation activities incorporate technological changes in production systems, efficient use of raw materials and fuels, fuel switching, avoiding GHG emissions from different sources, and the expansion, protection and conservation of forest ecosystems. Additional mitigation measures are conceived as complementary to the objectives of a country’s development, which can strengthen social programs, economic and environmental.

Below are the mitigation options proposed by the sectoral level Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change-IPCC-:

Energy efficiency improvements to the transport sector,
industry and energy supply.
Replacement fuels in the transport sector and
as use of alternative energy.
Expansion of forest management and protection to existing ones.
Bioenergy production from agricultural residues and new crops.
Husbandry associated with higher quality pasture
nutrition and cultivation of trees.
Waste management associated with the recovery of methane,
and recycling.
Some of the above activities can be geared to the market in certificates of emission reduction (CER’s) under the Clean Development Mechanism-CDM, the Kyoto Protocol, which allows the participation of the Annex I of the Framework Convention United Nations Climate Change to meet their emission reduction targets (for the first commitment period covering the period 2008 – 2012) with the participation of an Annex I country that has no emissions reduction commitments, such as the case of Colombia. These CER, s offset the emission reduction commitments made by Annex 1 countries and the country supplier of CERs, s will benefit from technology transfer, and implementation of practices that contribute to sustainable development.

To make projects under the CDM is a need for methodologies approved by the executive board of the mechanism for formulation, estimation of the amount of emission reductions generated by the project, assessment of environmental impacts, and consultation different actors and / or stakeholders. Just as the offeror’s national approval and have the validation and monitoring of an independent audit process that concludes with the issue of emissions reduction certificates CERs.

That living things have a subtle and complex electromagnetic field mobile Orientals called aura and is now known as the energy field is beyond doubt for any scientist-informed. Well, the technical GDV (Gas Discharge Visualization) created by professor Korotkov can precisely measure the electromagnetic field and study its influence on health.

This was possible because, based on research from the German Peter Mandel, Korotkov discovered that in the ten fingers holographic information is contained (total) of the body as well as aspects of the human psyche. And not only that: in a very short time managed to create a method of diagnosis of major organs and body systems using the Kirlian images of the finger tips. It turns out that in the auras of the fingers are reflected all the organs of the body!

Korotkov’s team would then special camera and the GDV-referred-to visualize and measure the full aura through Kirlian image capture on a computer. With this instrument, and thanks to its precise scientific process “would begin the systematic study of the energy level of being human. A technique that allows real-time view of the instant reactions of the body to a medical treatment, exercise, stress, meditation and, very importantly, to the psychological attitudes and thoughts! And not only that, lets see how the aura of a person reflects his mood. Read the rest of this entry »

Whether a new type of solar panel or a biochemical process that turns algae into fuels, advances in renewable energy is often represented as a triumph of technology and innovation.

But when it comes to constructing large scale renewable energy project, the most important ingredient is a very attractive service that has existed in the world for centuries. These are loans or bonds with long maturities, ie that can be paid in five years or more, and are a crucial component in ensuring the success of start-up companies and infrastructure projects in general .

With cold conditioning in summer should be very nice. But we believe if we can ever by fat?Air-conditioning and heating system deliberately designed to cause the body temperature is maintained at a normal or “neutral thermal zone”, ie the temperature at which the body does not need to regulate the temperature of the body’s adaptation to temperature environment.

When our body becomes above or below normal temperature, the body automatically save the amount of energy in the body. But with the help of cooling or heating the room, the body no longer needs additional work. This gives the body the energy stored in the body as fat, remains firmly in place and make the body tends to swell.

Unwittingly”it one of the factors that may increase the obesity epidemic in America,’’said David Allison, director of the Center for Clinical Nutrition, University of Alabama at Birmingham, as previously reported ORF July.

In fact, obesity itself was not only due to the influence of temperature, but can also occur by eating fast food habits, lack of exercise, medication, sleep disorders and even quit smoking makes a person more snacks distract attention to how published in the Journal of the International Journal of Obesity.

The availability of energy from renewable energy sources is higher than conventional energy sources, but its use is restricted. Technological developments, the increase of social demand and lower installation cost and rapid depreciation, which encourages the use of a source of renewable energy sources in recent years.

Similarly, the challenges to sustainable development model and the change towards a sustainable development model implies a new conception of the production, transportation and energy consumption.
