Today people say they are screwed in terms of environment: depletion of natural resources, water supply. Many changes have happened in earth’s climate over the last decade. If we take any place on the planet and compare the weather of that region today with the weather even 5 years ago, it has obviously changed. And people think that everything that is happening with the weather at the moment is the result of the damage brought by industrial world. Of course it’s true that we are responsible for air and water pollution, deforestation, desertification. But do you think that the global change that is taking place is caused by people only? Even the shift of poles could be caused by us?

Honestly, I don’t believe it could happen this way because of us. And I know many would disagree, especially physicists, who always look no further than conventional science. They can explain the process of global warming perfectly in details, but the fact that they have something they can’t explain makes everyone wonder why is it so. Before people had no choice but to believe the truth the science proposed, but now a lot of people start to deny the theory of global warming.

Some scientists say that global warming is a natural cycle caused by humans. However, if we think about it, natural cycle is the cycle that happens on earth independently on human factors. If we go back in time we could see that there were a lot of climate changes.

Exploring the tree rings, we can find a clear evidence of a huge water cycle, so-called the ice age, that occurred on the planet about 13 thousands years ago (to clarify) and ended about 10 thousands years ago. There was also another mini ice age that occurred a few hundreds years ago. Is it possible that humans could make these changes themselves with their existed technology? As far as we know, their production did not pollute the environment the way humanity does in present times. And this is true and everyone knows it. Moreover, history says that people were effected by the weather and they had to change their lifestyle. When the warm period eventually came, they began fishing, as it became available when ice melted. People has always been a secondary part that had to adjust to the weather. We could never make such a huge shift, we could not create a water cycle like this.

Nowadays the same cycle is happening. Before the cooling period the planet has to go through the warm period and that’s how the cycle process in my opinion is going to work:

We know that the ice at the poles is melting. This causes a great shift in the weight of ice which is distributed across both land and water, but concentrated at the poles. As it melts and turns into water it’s then distributed all over the planet. So think: the weight of the melted water redistributes itself all over the globe’s crust. So there is an incredible weight shift to a thin crust. As a result the crust is adjusting to these new conditions by creating earthquakes and volcanoes.

Today, people make a lot of damage and it’s really sad, yes. I understand that we have to stop it eventually as it’s bad for our health. But a common belief that we are responsible for the whole global change only makes us feel a burden on our shoulders. There is a change, and there must be a reason for it that we don’t know yet; though, science will unravel that secret for us too, I hope.

Hey, here what I have found and decided to share with you. There is a great way to save thousands on your electricity bills. It’s actually possible to create a device on your own that can provide your household with free energy. It’s called The Ultimate DIY Free Energy Kit Magniwork

What Magniwork Kit gives you
Magniwork is 50 pages guide on how to create the device that generates power. The instructions given are detailed and really easy to follow even for a complete novice. It is absolutely safe to use it, because it doesn’t produce any harmful gases and byproducts. Anyone can walk near this device without any risk of damage. And what is really amazing is that it can actually provide you with 100% of the electricity you need for you house, which means you can get rid of electricity bills.

How does the Magniwork Generator work
A Zero point Magnetic power generator uses magnets and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself and indefinitely without stopping thus creating free electrical energy that can power your home. This perpetual motion device produces larger amounts of energy than it consumes so it doesn’t need a third-party device to power it (unlike solar and wind) and it works indefinitely. It takes a very small amount of space, it can work in any weather, the material you’ll need to use are cheap and accessible anywhere around the world.
I myself think it needs a bit of handy work to do it and bit of time. Thus, I think it’s worth trying it just to see how it works. Depending on how you install this device, it’s possible to save 30%, 50% and 100% on electricity bills.

P.S. For those who may think it’s a scam – it’s not a scam, because I was also skeptical about this product. The thing is, provided with the money back guarantee, the refund rate for this product is about 6-10% which is really low. Considering on how lazy people are, they might buy it without putting any effort into using it after all. Moreover, the refund is transferred through Clickbank, thus the chances of losing your money are quiet low.
Enjoy the product!

There were about 6.5 billion people living on earth in 2008, and population is expected to rise up to 9 billion by 2050, and as this number continues to grow, our requirement for food will also grow. We use about 30% of the total soil for production which causes a very big damage to earth through soil erosion, deforestation, desertification and others. People consume a lot of meat and seafood, and that is why the demand for these two ingredients rise dramatically. As the demand rises, people have to breed more and more animals as cheaply as possible. Of course the animals have to be feeded properly in order to become a good source of protein on people’s plates. I understand this demand for meat as I was enjoying meat for 20 years of my life before I began to feel compassionate about animals and environment.

Gathering all the information on this issue I came across a lot of controversies. The thing is, all the meat-eaters (and it’s a major part of the world’s population) are proving the importance of meat in our food intake. They give facts about people’s needs for animal protein and other minerals that we can’t be substituted by any plant on earth.
However, many great world leaders, brilliant scientists have also proven that vegetarian lifestyle would make a huge positive difference in the world.

Would you ever open your fridge, pull out twenty plates of pasta and chuck them into the bin, and then, eat only one plate of food? How about leveling fifty-five square feet of rainforest for one lunch or dumping two-thousand-five-hundred gallons of water down the drain? Of course you wouldn’t. However, just eating half a kilo of meat will cause this.

This is the extract from the article written by Hui-Ming Toh, Auckland, New Zealand, a sister of Supreme Master Ching Hai – a spiritual leader, a proponent of a vegan diet.

I don’t want to convince someone to be vegetarian, but I really do know the facts about how much they suffer from people’s cruelty and how much damage by this people make to themselves:

- To produce 1 pound of beef we have to use 4.8 pounds of grain, while this grain could be used to feed people who suffer from hunger, which is 1 billion people

- Producing the same 1 pound of beef requires 2500 gallons of water while it requires only 139 gallons to produce 1 pound of wheat. Huge amounts of water are used to feed meat-eaters and think about how valuable this water is for African kids. Notice also that it is a non-renewable natural resource.

- For the last forty years emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) has increased by 70% (!!!). Agriculture emissions have grown by 27%. But the most shocking fact is this: Worldwide, farmed animals produce more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transport system. It is also known that cows and sheeps are responsible for 37% of the total methane generated by human activity.

- Aquaculture – fish farming; it is also responsible for pollution

- The vast amounts of land used to raise animals cause environmental issues such as habitat destruction and deforestation. Going vegetarian will halve the land-use of your diet.

The big issue that the planet face is that there is a growing number of people that get hungry every day as well as the level of pollution and toxins emitted into the air. These two problems go against each other, because we need to increase food production while reversing the damage that has already been done to the planet. We cannot solve it by continuing producing meat in amounts we do today. Moreover, meat production requires huge amounts of energy.

The average fossil fuel energy input for all the animal protein production is around 25 kilocalories (kcal) fossil energy input per 1 kilocalorie of protein produced, more than 11 times greater than that for grain protein production.

About the damage that meat brings to people’s health know almost everyone. It is obvious that even a little amount of meat in people’s diet increase the level of toxins and the risk of heart deceases. It has been scientifically proven that vegetables give us all the necessary vitamins and minerals we need. What is also very important to know is that animal like a cow is not any worse than your pet, would it be a dog or a cat. You don’t slaughter them, right? You will never murder your pet to fulfill your hungry stomach. So why would you kill another animal to stay alive? Do you think it’s right to be fair to some animals and be completely cruel to others just because of your habit to eat them? Think about it.

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.  ~Albert Einstein

There is a great number of people who finally start thinking about our planet’s issues. They start thinking, but not many of them do something to protect the environment. Today this message is the wake-up call for people to understand that there is no time left to wait for some miracles to happen. It is up to us how do we want to determine the fate of the Earth in the near future. The climate change caused by many factors, especially human factors, is a dreadful thought for everyone. But we shouldn’t fear it as much as we should start acting towards helping the planet.

Green living is not just concern that habitants of this planet worry about. It is the way of how you think, how you act in your everyday life and how you promote this way of living and spread the message. I know there are people who still don’t understand that going to the oil industry for example will not bring much profit in the future. The thing is, they don’t care about the future, but they prefer sticking to the short-term perspective and opportunity to earn more money.

The benefits of going green are enormous not just in the future, but nowadays world. By having a greener lifestyle you make a good impact on the ecology around your house, your workplace. Here are the biggest health and environmental benefits:

- use less chemicals in your house cleaning; that will reduce the risk of allergy and asthma. For example you can use soda and vinegar for cleaning instead of the substances that poison water, air and soil;
- try to use less cans and plastic bottles by which you immediately help the environment. Moreover plastic bottles have chemicals that can cause some health problems;
- don’t use pre-ackaged food – there are lots of chemicals in there that are damaging both to your health and to the environment;
- consume food from the local produce. It doesn’t require transportation costs associated with more pollution;
- try to switch to a more vegetarian lifestyle. It was stated statistically that if every european and american man will hold vegetarian diet just once a week, there will be less 30 million starving kids in the world. It caused by the huge amounts of plants and land required to produce meat. It is also proven that vegetarian diet reduces the risk of heart deceases by almost 80%
- spend more time enjoying nature and try to use ecologically friendly transport to get to work (bike). Everyone knows it’s more healthy and better for the environment.

The leading countries in going green like Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Iceland, Costa Rica, Germany, Denmark put the importance of protecting the nature on the first place after industrial, military and agricultural spending. Some countries like Costa Rica, Dominica, Grenada demilitarised themselves; it has a positive impact on environment, they don’t have armies any more. However, they still get affected by the rest of the world. It’s imperative how you think about the army and your attitude towards wars and aggression. “It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder” – Albert Einshtein

BE INSPIRED

I always think about how people can make it to convert their house eventually to a green way. Many say that they would like to do it, but then they can always find excuses like work, kids, family, etc. I just wanted to clarify for people like that, who are still in doubts that it’s not just simply laziness, so you should never blame yourself on not trying hard enough. And no way this sense of guilt will inspire you much. The inspiration always comes with a higher goal – to make the life better in you family, in your house, in that piece of land you inhabit, in the city you live, or should it be a countryside. This is called motivation, and it can inspire you enough to start working on your lifestyle. Well, this is how it works for me, because fear and guilt never work as good as real motivation.

If you’d like to get some ideas on how to convert your home, you can follow this link, where Miller Britzke, the Alternative Energy Engineer, gives you the best advice: http://solar-panel-sfor-home.com/

Wind energy is a well-known alternative source of energy, and it’s highly popular around the world, although less than solar energy. Wind energy is especially needed in non-sunny areas, some european countries like the UK, Norway, Scandinavia, some parts of Northern America.

In fact wind energy is one of the types of solar energy, but instead of direct solar energy accumulation (solar panels), the modern wind turbines generate electricity or mechanical power from the wind that is caused by uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun. Wind turbines uses the kinetic energy of the wind and transforms it into mechanical power. It’s better to build wind turbines in offshore areas and at the hilltops, where the wind is strong.

There are two main types of wind turbines:
1.horizontal-axis turbines (which are the largest ones) and 2.vertical-axis turbines. Horizontal-axis turbines, that look like traditional farm windmills, are used for pumping water.

Some people do not like the look of the wind turbines saying that it spoils a scenery from the windows of their homes. Unlike solar panels, wind turbines make noise and there is also a danger that the birds that fly in that area may get killed. However these issues are not as strong as the advantages of wind energy turbines. It’s pollution free, and it’s renewable energy; as long as the wind exists, it can be converted to electricity which is a good saving on coal and oil.

Homes that use the wind power energy should take into account that the birds near the house are in danger! So, before setting the wind turbine, try to be conscious about it and make up something to scare away the birds, something like scarecrow. I’m telling this, because it really is an issue for people who cares about the animals and any negative externalities that may come with wind turbine installation.

1.2 Recycling Wind Turbines?

Some people ask if there is really no pollution associated with wind energy installation. According to the scientists, wind turbines can produce energy without any kind of pollution and they can be the most effective method to access energy in the future. I believe that it’s possible that the solar and the wind energy can generate 100% of the worldwide energy needed. The governments should really think about it, and make it as their first priority at the moment.

For the preference between the two types of energies I’ve been talking about so far, well, using wind power would be equivalent to using sun energy that doesn’t cause pollution, but I would go more for solar energy cause it makes no noise. Plus, the lifespan of wind turbines is smaller than that of solar panels. Still, we should admit that wind turbines produce huge amounts of energy and electricity. However, you should also take into account what you are going to do when you find out that the wind turbine installed in your house doesn’t work anymore. It’s important to recycle the used material, so that there will be indeed no pollution at all. At the moment it’s almost ignored by the producers, they mostly think about the production and installation of the wind systems. The responsibility to recycle the used wind turbines should be taken by producers and consumers. Again, the governments have to regulate this issue as soon as possible.

Yes, this is something I am concerned at the moment. With the development of wind energy industry, the appropriate measures must be taken to use the old material from wind turbines and rebuild them or use in other technologies. Otherwise we are being ecological but we still pollute.

“Some of these machines were built like tanks and like many aircraft and other pieces of equipment, they can be stripped down to the frame and rebuilt, using many newer technologies that were not even available when they were first made.” ~David Wright, VP of Manufacturing, Aeronautica Windpower~

The materials needed for the panels are actually quiet basic and it’s easy to find them in any market, specialized hardware shops, you can also get them on Ebay or Amazon. These are the things you’ll need:

drill, screwdriver, saw
wire strippers, wire cutters, a soldering iron
To build a solar system you are going to need solar cells which you can buy for about £1 per watt. It’s not hard to expect that the prices of solar cells are going to decrease and become more affordable over time; before the prices would vary at around £2-3 per watt. Preferably if you can buy solar cells, you should buy them with tabs attached already. It will be more convenient to make a panel from tabbed cells as it will save you work on glueing down the cells.

To build the panel you will need to make a container to hold the cells in it. It can be made from any material you like, while the easiest way is to use wood. You will need to decide the length and width of the box and make a substrate for the cells.

While wiring the cells, if you are using batteries for the solar panel, it’s always advised to solder them on a diode so that the power flows in one direction. It will prevent the power that was stored during the day to flow backwards into the solar panel. However, if you are not planning to connect your solar panel directly to the batteries and use a charge controller you will not need a diode. To attach the cells you can use silicone caulk. Just make sure you put enough caulk in each cell and let them dry for some time.

You should screw a hole in your container to put the wires through and then glue the wired cells with the substrate of the box. Finally you can attach plexiglass on the top of your container. You might also need to solder a connector on to the wires, which you decide on depending on the device you want your solar panel to connect to.

Finally your solar panel is ready! So, these were simple guides on making your own solar panel. It will be great if people leave their comments and maybe share their experience with installing solar system at their homes.
