SubscribeAccording to the U.S. life science network reports, many people suggest some crazy ways to improve the Earth’s environmental problems, including water pollution, smoke, piles of garbage and easy warming. These ideas from the rational (but not always pursue the policy) to the completely ridiculous, all included. The following is a list of American life science network 10 the most crazy green idea:
10, banned plastic bags and light bulbs
This might sound like a hasty decision, but in China, San Francisco and Australia have issued this prohibition explicit. China wants in order to eliminate domestic “white pollution”, and garbage bags clog city sewers.
Australia will want to phase out incandescent bulbs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce household energy costs. These approaches have gained more and more government support last year, the Government have considered the various possible ways to eliminate plastic bags and the use of inefficient light bulbs. But before you worry about how you will bring home the food, how light your room. There is a good way to choose: use recyclable paper bags and reusable bags and energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs.
9, emission reduction and rated
Rated by force or enforce emissions “cap and trade (cap-and-trade)” system to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions may not be a scientific absurd way, but this is a political dilemma.
This proposal will lead to serious power plant emissions to reform, restrictions on the industry, the business and the number of national carbon dioxide emissions, or emissions of the gas tax to reduce global emission levels. Many countries have signed the “Kyoto Protocol”, agreed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But the U.S. refused to sign the agreement, the result is that they will damage their own economy.
8, living in the garbage
This idea is not to say you will stop throwing out trash bags a week of life, have to start living in the organization of food waste and the ocean. On the contrary, Leeds University, an engineer Yuehanfusi has created a construction material made from the garbage, the garbage, including recyclable glass, such as sewage sludge and incinerator ash.
, Called “asphalt tiles” (Bitublocks) 100% of building materials using waste materials, thus avoiding sending them to landfill, and also built the house with garbage. And according to Fox, said it is in a solid material to substitute for mixed low-power brick, and its strength is 6 times for mixed brick. In addition, other scientists have proposed the use of waste from the poultry such as chicken feathers to produce more environmentally friendly plastics.
7, carbon burial
Since we have this additional carbon dioxide build the atmosphere and warm the Earth, a number of scientists have proposed that excess carbon dioxide Bingqiang interception trapping them somewhere, perhaps underground aquifers, coal seams or depleted oil and gas .
To achieve this, the carbon dioxide from factory emissions were separated, compressed and then injected into the underground tomb, and stay in this tomb for thousands of years. However, this approach is the cost to implement the difficult issues, including the separation of carbon dioxide emissions from the factory cost. In addition, some environmental groups worry that carbon dioxide gas will leak out from the ground.
6, changing your diet
Some researchers say that if more people walk, do not eat red meat, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce the incidence of obesity. One scientist calculated that if the age of 10-74 years of age all Americans to replace the half-hour a day Buxing drive, will the United States can reduce the average annual 64 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
More vegetarian diet can also reduce carbon dioxide emissions. U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reported that the meat industry is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions, including fertilizer, animal products needed to grow and transport the energy.
5, the kitchen standing earthworm
They are not just pets or food, earthworms have other uses, allowing them to eat garbage in the sandwich crust and apple fruit pits, and they become fertilizer. The fertilizer can be used for their own garden, or planting flowers the family.
Los Angeles staff is always a plastic bag containing earthworms on their office to recycle their leftovers. If you do not feel that such a worm farm to the kitchen sick, you will always have organic fertilizer for the planting.
4, injection of sulfur into the air
Floating in the air a certain aerosols, or tiny particles can play the overall cooling effect. These particles block part of the solar radiation, so that they re-scattered back into space. This cooling effect of the Earth’s climate can be witnessed after the volcanic eruption.
Millions of tons of volcanic eruptions will be spilled sulfur in the atmosphere, thus blocking some solar radiation. Some scientists have proposed that we have to mimic nature, to a large number of sulfur into the atmosphere to offset global warming. But the key issue of this program will increase the formation of acid rain. Another problem is that sulfur was evenly injected into the atmosphere can play a cooling effect.
3, mobile, and stirring up the Ocean
Environmentalists and futurists Locke is the founder of Gaia theory, who recently proposed his own set of slightly ridiculous measures to tackle global warming. His idea is to use the pipeline to promote the global ocean blend, nutrient-rich deep water to rise to the surface of the ocean to feed huge algae groups, so that algae absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more.
When the algae dies, the algae with carbon dioxide on and sank the submarine. Lovelock said that this approach is only an expedient measure, because even if we stop emissions of greenhouse gases, global warming will still continue for some time.
2, to the marine iron
This is a fundamental idea: a tiny ocean plankton photosynthesis using the carbon dioxide in the air to make food. When they die after they sank to use them to capture the carbon. Because iron can promote the growth of plankton, so some people have suggested a marine put a huge iron to promote plankton reproduction, to absorb our emissions into the air in excess of carbon dioxide.
Several private companies now have to venture out to sea pump iron to sell carbon credits for profit. But many scientists doubt that the marine iron approach in the end how much the effect of carbon capture and storage. Moreover, environmental organizations have also warned that the destruction of iron pumps join the local marine ecosystem.
Leisure time, the sun’s radiation can make you feel hot glare, so you’ll wear sunglasses or a hat to block the sun look. Some scientists have proposed similar strategies to protect our warming planet: the equator to place in orbit around the sun shading ring particles or micro-spacecraft.
This ring can reduce the fired particles of solar radiation the Earth, thus offsetting some of the greenhouse gases caused by global warming. However, this idea but very expensive, the potential cost of up to several trillion dollars.
1, the construction of sunglasses to Earth
When sunny days of leisure on the beach when you, the sun’s radiation can make you feel hot glare, so you’ll wear sunglasses or a hat to block the sun look. Some scientists have proposed similar strategies to protect our warming planet: the equator to place in orbit around the sun shading ring particles or micro-spacecraft.
This ring can reduce the fired particles of solar radiation the Earth, thus offsetting some of the greenhouse gases caused by global warming. However, this idea but very expensive, the potential cost of up to several trillion dollars.
