Air Pollution

Is coal our salvation?
The decreasing production of natural gas and oil are leading to the increase of coal by 30%
Coal-fired power stations can provide 40% of electricity, demand and natural gas produces
20% of electricity. Coal will and should continue to be a dominant source of energy for the
next century. Advanced boilers, improved steam and gas turbines and improved gasifiers
in order to create a more efficient coal-powered technology. Coal generators could be
increased up to 75% efficiency.A

This is about desertification of forests and lands that burn down and cost a lot of air pollution

Jay

Is congestion really rare?

There are times when there are mass

extinctions and between 50% and

90% of animals on earth die and

many species become extent.

Frank Luntz "Should the public to believe that the scientific issues are settled,

their views about global warming will change accordingly.

Therefore you need to continue to make a lack of scientific certainity a primary issue."

Global annual water is estimated 725km in 1995 to about 1170km by 2025. But the time

industrial water would use 24% of all water abstractions

Morris

My one is about how people in Japan Use solar panels to collect 192MWp of electricity by August 2006 and had

10000 MWp that cost $2.5 per Wp

Jay

2008- 2010 there were 64000 tones of waste

Of E-waste from electronic devices etc and could be dangerous

Water was used each day approximately 70% in the United Arab Emirates and 40% in the Middle East.

The water comes from the industrial and municipal sectors

Hilary

This is about waste and it is being transported all around world. But it is very toxic and puts many workers at risk when they have to take it out.

deforestation is happening because farmers

need to make more space to plant crops and to make way

for agriculture . 50% of deforestation is happening in brazil

and indonesia. This is also happening because of the high

demand for palm oil and thats used for cosmetics and food.

Almost 20% of the green house gasses are produced from

deforestation.

Around the world rubbish is a big problem so a group called PAYT (Pay as you throw)

thought of and idea of paying $1 to throw one trash bag. This has already started

in Kansas City, Missouri and it's working people are recycling more. This idea saves

about 4,000,000 dollars! Do you think this is good for HK?

Samantha

people have been dumping different materials into the ocean. People has
discovered toxic stuff, plastic, metals and others. Scientist has estimated
700000 to 1million birds with plastic in them. Also they estimated 100000 marine animals
die from our garbage.

In the world, parties should protect the climate system in accordance to differentiated responsibilities

Nathan

In the world, people are not recycling rubbish, 7% more rubbish is more than the previous year and less than 3% of rubbish are composed.

Between 2000 ans 2004 the production of cars

in china went up from 605 000 to 2.33M. More

people driving cars means more air pollution.

If global warming melts down the artic and

south pole, the water will flood the sides of

the land.

In Japan, people have sold50000 solar panels in 2006 leading them to a healthy non pollutant life

Geoffrey

2013-03-15 02:33:21 UTC

This is about the amount of water that people have. Europe and Asia has a bigger population than the amount of water they have.

Carla

2013-03-15 02:34:35 UTC

Is zero waste achievable?

Many government want to manage the country's

waste because there are many waste in the landfill

and they are to ask people if they can live a day with

out throw thing in the bins. If everyone does this it

going to make a big difference.

Sheryl

2013-03-15 02:34:58 UTC

My article is about if we should recycle or not. In this article it says that it may not always be the best idea to recycle, because the process of recycling can also produce a lot of pollution.

Geoffrey

In Tuvalu in the South Pacific is an island that is made of coral atolls. The Island is now 4.5 metres higher than the water other countries are now scared that if the sea level rises they won't be able to evacuate.

Andrew

In Europe, People died in the heat because of heat stress by a heat wave in 2003, and global warning is rising which the ice flow in the north pole is melting.

Jacky

It is about wind farms. It is the world's fastest growing

source of power.

Daphne

The long- term management of higher activity

radioactive waste requires an integrated

program of both geological disposal and robust

interim storage and that there should be a staged

process based on volunteerism (willingness to

participate on the part of host communities).

Canaan

2013-03-15 02:42:50 UTC

This is about recycling plastic bottles

and cans used to store beverages.

Hilary

2013-03-15 02:43:07 UTC

This one is about how farmers for plants are putting pesticide and it is poisoning the food people eat. That will harm animals, plants and humans. The global chemical consumption is 400M tonnes per year. The waste is polluting our environment and also will remain hazardous for 250000 years.

Nathan

2013-03-15 02:43:12 UTC

People are using their car instead of taking the bus, train, bicycle etc.

Here is a video about coal.

How is your cites powered?

This is about how we are using energy

and what power it. Most countries use

fossil fuel and we are running out o fit.

In the further we are going to need

more energy since the world is developing.

Maxwell

2013-03-15 02:44:42 UTC

How will you move around?
Telecommunication and transport services
are now producing a huge amount of waste,
which can greatly affect the transportation system.
Taiwan's collapsing transport industry is now falling
apart, unless it can find another kind of transport.

My card was about global warming. Recent research has shown that global warming was a major problem in the world. Before, we still had about a few billion years left before the world flooded. Now, we only have a few hundred million. Global warming is becoming one of the biggest problems of the 21st century.

Ellen

2013-03-15 02:54:45 UTC

This an interesting video bout land fills.

Canaan

2013-03-15 02:57:45 UTC

This is about micro-generation

power that we would use in the

future more oftenly.

Mimi L

My article is about rural areas. It says the 155 million people will decrease in the time of 15 years.

I think it means that no one will be left in maybe 100 years later and people will get extinct.

Mimi - This was the reduction of people living in rural areas, as they move to the cities to find work
