Oxygen Producing Plants Robot


Plants is essential for human life because they are out of oxygen for human survival. But as the growth of human technology is often ignored plants. In this regard, Korea began to develop a robotic plant that can remove oxygen.


Robot developed plant researchers at the Chonnam National University also has the function of moisturizing, fragrance and kinetic issue. This plant has a 1.3 meter high and 40 cm in diameter and consists of a pot, a stem and five flowers. These plants can respond to some things. If you are 40 cm from this plant, he will bring to your stems and flowers blossom. If the sound received exceeds the normal limit, he will also move the blossom flowers and stems.

If the light on the room where this plant was burning, so this plant will open and close the flower bud and if the music starts, this plant will be dancing. But surely you will not be able to compare with plants native to this one. Only when the future is no more native plants, why not?

"Pohon Buatan" untuk Emisi Karbon Hadir 10 Tahun Lagi

LONDON - Ilmuwan dan ahli rancang bangunan kini tengah mengembangkan ide berbasis geo-enginering untuk menciptakan hutan berisi sekira 100.000 "pohon buatan".

Mereka menyebutkan, dalam kurun waktu 10 atau 20 tahun lagi pohon buatan ini akan segera hadir guna mengurangi emisi gas karbon.

Salah satu ilmuwan dari Institution of Mechanical Engineers mengatakan bahwa tanpa keberadaan geo-engineering sangat mustahil bagi penduduk Bumi menghindari terjadinya perubahan cuaca.

"Jenis teknologi geo-engineering yang kami ajukan bisa menghambat proses perubahan cuaca. Untuk manfaat jangka panjang, teknologi ini sangat penting untuk mengurangi emisi gas karbon," kata Nem Vaughan dari University of East Anglia yang dikutip dari BBC, Kamis (27/8/2009).

Vaughan menyebutkan ada dua jenis geo-engineering. Kategori pertama berupaya "mendinginkan" Bumi dengan memantulkan matahari jauh-jauh. Namun nyatanya, cara ini masih menimbulkan masalah.

Sementara untuk geo-engineering kategori kedua, berupaya menghilangkan karbondioksida di atmosfer dan menyimpannya.

Untuk itu, pohon buatan menjadi jawaban atas hal ini. Pohon buatan memiliki prinsip cara kerja yang sama dengan pohon sungguhan yaitu menangkap karbondioksida di udara melalui sebuh filter.

Karbondioksida yang tertangkap kemudian dihilangkan dari filter untuk kemudian disimpan. Teknologi ini juga masih berhubungan dengan pengembangan infrastruktur penyimpanan karbon. Karbondioksida dapat disimpan dalam tambang minyak di laut utara.

Prototip pohon buatan ini diklaim dapat menyedot karbondioksida dari atmosfer hingga ribuan kali. Namun bagaimanapun hebatnya teknologi tersebut, alangkah lebih baiknya jika penduduk Bumi menjaga kelestarian hutan alami. Karena keberadaan hutan dan pepohonan alami sangat penting bagi kehidupan manusia di Bumi. (rah)

Long Island Rescue Jepara



Long Island Head JeparaPengakuan Marine and Fisheries (Dislutkan) ACHID JESNA Setiawan of damage Jepara coast and several islands really alarming.

That way at least has a correlation with the results of research Puryono Karto Sri Soedomo that almost all mangrove forests in pantura in damaged condition; approximately 96.95 per cent which would cover an area of Tegal, Kendal, Semarang, Demak, Jepara, Pati, until the Rembang.

Destruction of mangrove forest naturalness charm along with the global environmental crisis of global warming increase the quality of the boom reduced the threat of land area as a whole.

Moreover, the weakening of the quality of coastal environment marked Jepara abrasion threats have removed some Bulak village land area.

The damage was and it was not caused by one factor over the function of land, so many factors that make the process even more acute abrasion, which is missing or absence of mangrove forests as native coastal vegetation green.

The question is now what to do? Another can not local governments (Local Government) in the path of the North Coast line, including the district of Jepara should make joint movement of Mangrove Center. A cross-sectoral movement that works to cultivate a variety of mangrove species in accordance with the conditions of coastal different.

In addition, Mangrove Center also has a function to monitor the environmental management of coastal and small islands are holistic.

That means keeping the focus of development policies of economic growth does not conflict with the principles of environmental conservation.

Steps such as understanding that the natural cycles that affect each other. Coastal mangrove vegetation in the form of biological aspects is the place berpijahnya shrimp, fish, and crabs. As for the chemical aspects are able to absorb pollutants.

Therefore, if the bare mangrove air pollutants from upstream areas and can no longer be neutralized in the absence of forest functions that produce oxygen and absorb CO2 and other pollutants-pollutants.

Moreover, mangrove forests is a shield to break the barrier and the large sea waves because during this physical infrastructure such as Breakwater of concrete that cost hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars are not able to suppress the rate of coastal abrasion.

Therefore, what needs to be done as a follow-up is to integrate the economy into the environment. To ensure environmentally sound development, there are three important dimensions that must be considered.

First, the economic dimension that connects between the effects of macroeconomic and microeconomic elements on the environment and how natural resources are treated in economic analysis.

Second, the political dimension that includes the political process that determines the appearance of development, population growth and environmental degradation.

Third, the social dimension of culture that links between the tradition or history with the dominance of technology, patterns of thought, and religion.

One of the major problems in the development orientation that lasted was the custom of the city.

Coastal communities marginalized by their own residential environment due to the housing or a hotel in the beach with the slogan''city''in the village.

There is even a kind of deliberate action by the industrial establishment or processing plant along the coast.

Coastal areas should be reserved for public space in the form of recreational beaches, parks, and coastal forests, both as a nature reserve and forest tour to avoid a massive exploited.

Because after the enactment of Law No. 32 of 2004 regarding regional governance actually happened acceleration of natural resource exploitation on a large scale is finally leaving the principles of environmental safety.

Jackson through his book Crabgrass Frontier (1985) describes the trend of modern society make the shift from the city center toward the edge of town.

So Jackson's statement that more than twenty years into the business justification for the current rise property with a residential paradise offering massively through the expansion of the suburbs.

Ironically it protrudes into the coastal area because of the beauty. Urban land-saving argument shrinking and reduce the psychological problems of urban communities and lifestyles it back to village threatening coastal areas of natural vegetation of mangrove forests.

The struggle of the seizure of such discourse is explicitly mandated that the environment becomes part of Human Rights, Article 28 of Chapter XA on Human Rights 1945.

Thematic circles as Peter L. Berger in the Pyramids of Sacrifice (1974), there are human costs that ultimately make the community as a victim of physical coercion for the progress in development that does not care for the environment.

For the purposes of residential or industrial development and other objects, mangrove forest related to coastal ekosisitem damaged. Receive the effects, the arrest is excessive (over fishing) that threaten the supply of fish in the Java Sea was not able to offset any other clusters such as shrimp fishery is highly dependent existence of mangrove forest.

Thus, the sooner the better realization of Mangrove Center as police on green vegetation and coastal environment along with the presence of Coastal Regulation for the welfare of coastal communities back. (80)

LETTER FROM THE YEAR 2070

LETTER FROM THE YEAR 2070


To
Designation
Humans
In
Year 2000


I live in the year 2070. I'm 50 years old, but looked like 85 years already.

I experienced many health problems, especially kidney problems because I drink very little water.

I think, I will not live much longer. Now, I was the oldest person in the neighborhood, I remember when I was 5 years old are all very different, there are still many trees in the forest and greenery around, every home had a yard and a beautiful garden, and I loved playing and bathing water
full.

Now, we have to clean ourselves with a disposable towel soaked in mineral oil.

Previously, beautiful hair is the pride of all women.
Now, we have to shave off the hair to clean the head without using water.

Earlier, my father washed his car by spraying water directly from the faucet plumbing. Now, the kids do not believe that once the water can be used for anything.

I still remember there is often a message that says: "DO NOT WASTE WATER"

But no one noticed the message. People think that water will never run out because the supply is not unlimited. Now, rivers, lakes, dams and underground water have all been polluted or completely dried. Scenery around there was only desert, a barren desert. Digestive tract infections, skin and urinary tract disease is now the number one cause of death. Industry was paralyzed, the unemployment rate reached a very dramatic rate. Workers are paid only with a glass of drinking water per person looting harinya.Banyak water in places where quiet. 80% of food are synthetic foods. Previously, the general recommendations for health care is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Now, I could only drink half a glass of water every day.

Since water becomes scarce, we are not wash clothes, used clothes discarded, which then increase the number of garbage.

We use septic tanks for waste water, as in the past, because there is no water.

Humans at times we looked pathetic: the body is very weak; chapped skin due to dehydration; there are a lot of sore and wounds exposed to the sun a lot because of the ozone layer and the atmosphere even more exhausted.
Because dry skin, 20-year-old woman look like a 40-year-old.

Scientists have made various investigations and studies, but did not find a way out. Humans can not make water.
The small number of trees and green plants make oxygen availability is reduced, making the decline in intelligence capabilities of future generations.

Morphology of human experience changes ... which gives / gave birth to children with various problems deficiencies, mutations, and malformations. The government even makes a tax on the air we breathe: 137 m3 per person per day. [31,102 gallons]

Those who can not pay this tax will be excluded from the "vent area" equipped with the tools of mechanical lung solar giant that supplies oxygen. Air is available in the "vent area" is not of very good, but at least provide oxygen for human life bernafas.Umur average is 35 years.

Some countries still have bervegetasi islands have their own water sources.
This area heavily guarded by armed troops. The water becomes very scarce goods and valuable, than gold or jewels.

Here, no more trees because it rained very rare.
Even if the rain, it is known asam.Tidak rain of the season again. Global climate change occurred in the 20th century due to greenhouse effect and pollution.

We were warned that it is important to preserve nature, but no one cares. By the time my daughter asked how it was when I was young, I describe how beautiful and natural surrounding forest is still green. I told him how beautiful the rain, flowers, fun water play, fishing in the river, and can drink as much water as we want.
I tell you how healthy humans at that time.

He asked: - Daddy!
Why is there no water anymore?

I felt like there was a clog in my throat. ..

I can not help feeling guilty, because I come from the generation that destroys nature and the environment by not heeding seriously conservation messages ...
and many others too!. I come from a generation that can actually change the situation, but no one is doing. Now, our children must accept the consequences, be honest, this situation of life on planet Earth will not be long extinct, due to the destruction of nature by human activity has reached the end point.

I wish I could go back in time and convince mankind to understand what will happen ... At that time there was the possibility and time for us to make efforts to save this planet!

Please Send this letter to all your friends and acquaintances, even if only a message of global awareness and concrete action of the importance of conserving water and the environment should start from every person.

This is a serious problem and some have become real and is happening around us.


Do it for your children and future descendants

........."Red Carpet Four" -- Our Heros!.........

In Copenhagen, leaders didn't make history--but the world's people did. A year of unprecedented action on climate change reached never before seen heights in the last two weeks: Thousands upon thousands of vigils, rallies, and protests, floods of phone calls and messages sent, millions of petition signatures--all calling for the fair, ambitious and binding climate treaty.

“We still need and still will win”

We're in this for as long as it takes. Even today four of our activists are behind bars in the Danish jail, in isolation and detained without trial until 7th of January. This is not the first time that Greenpeace activists have to face such trails. We are not against the legal consequences of our actions. But I think the Danish authorities have over-reacted.


Madrid protest


The "Red Carpet Four" have five children, aged two to thirteen, and one pregnant partner. Denying these people bail is keeping them away from their families over the holidays. All this for a peaceful protest, when world leaders who failed to stand up for the climate have been comfortably back home for days. People are gathering round the world to protest and demand the release of activists detained in Copenhagen during the climate summit. Danish media are even reacting to Spanish media coverage of the issue.

Please support our new campaign to keep the pressure on the world leaders for a real climate deal in 2010, as this will be our win on the injustice. We’re together the agents of change. This change starts with us. We have to show these folks that we can lead, that we can take concrete steps to reverse this damage that they have left to manifest. Let's take leadership wherever we are.
