"北極洋幾乎所有的冰層在二○一二年，夏天前將完全融化。"

蔬食環保．抗暖化救地球
根據美國航太總署2007年12月最新衛星資料顯示，氣候科學家齊瓦利預測北極洋幾乎所有的冰層在2012年夏天前將完全融化...聯合國氣候變遷專家小組主席 Dr. Rajendra Pachauri說："假如在2012年沒有任何行動的話，就太晚了。接下來的兩三年是決定我們未來的關鍵時刻。

個人如何採取行動 :

1. 不吃肉，以拯救生命及地球
根據2006年聯合國的報告指出：畜牧造成長期陰影，資料顯示，全球暖化現象有18%源自於畜牧業，比全世界各地所有交通工具所造成的暖化效應還高。美國地球學會2007年發表的一份報告證實，攝取植物性飲食所消耗的能源，只有肉食的25%。而由肉食改為素食，在減緩氣候變遷的功效上，比由雪佛蘭SUBURBAN休旅車換成豐田油電混合車，效率至少高出50%以上。
「請少吃肉－肉是排碳量高度密集的商品。不吃肉、騎單車、少消費－就可協助遏止全球暖化。」 - 帕喬里(Rajendra Pachauri )─, 聯合國政府間氣候變遷研究小組主席。
國際環境組織:：「拯救地球EarthSave」在http://www.vegpledge.com/發起VEGPLEDGE!TM 的素食宣誓活動，這個活動專門幫助任何想利益地球的人宣誓吃素！
根據美國芝加哥大學地球物理學教授：Gordan Eishel，Gidon Eshel 及Pamela Martin等人的研究結果發現，吃素一年比起攝取標準美式飲食，可以減少1.5噸的碳排放，該減少量比將休旅車換成豐田油電混合車Prius還多50%。
馬克彼特曼（Mark Bittman）並非素食者，他於《紐約時報》一篇文章中指出吃肉對我們地球、健康與貧困者帶來慘痛的代價。
所有荷蘭人如果每週有一天不吃肉，就可達到荷蘭政府希望家家戶戶一年所減少的碳排放量目標。素食者開悍馬休旅車比肉食者騎單車還要環保。
南美洲有四億公頃的黃豆作物是種給肉用動物當飼料，如果直接給人類食用，只需兩千五百萬公頃，即可滿足全世界所需。

2. 資源回收，確實能造成影響
根據加州政府估計，全州回收的資源可以供電1百40萬戶、減少27,047噸的水汙染、拯救1仟4百萬棵樹、並且減少相當於3百80萬輛汽車的碳排放。
丹麥理工大學發現，回收廢鋁比不回收可節省95%的能源，回收塑膠可省70%，回收紙製品可省40%。

3. 多種樹，利益我們的地球
在美國路易斯安那州卡塔胡拉縣（Catahoula Parish）最潮濕的地區，種植闊葉樹苗兩年後，路易斯安納理工大學的科學家發現，每畝人造林所吸收的二氧化碳量，相當於開車一整年的碳排放量。
美國林務署調查顯示，在芝加哥都會區的兩個郡內，種植9萬5千棵樹，能使空氣更乾淨，並降低冷暖器機的使用，30年後將省下3千8百萬美元。

4. 使用替代能源交通工具，減少碳排放
根據芝加哥大學的研究顯示，開豐田Prius油電混合車每年可減少一噸的碳排放。
據愛荷華州立大學2003年研究顯示，食用當地生產的食物，碳排放量較低。非當地生產的食物，平均需要運輸1,494英里才能抵達消費者手中，而當地生產的食物則只需要56英里。
"我盡量騎單車上班以節省能源。" - Margot Wallström, 歐盟執委會副主席

5. 節能及使用永續能源，能幫助重建地球

Why I blog ?

I was first to know what is the "Blog" about since 4 years ago from my colleague's mouth. Well, I was later get to know one blog from http://www.merdekareview.com.my/ on year 2005. He is http://www.jeffooi.com/ . Thanks Jeff for your blog that influence me to blog. In fact you are the one also who drive me into politic awareness. I believe there are more people out there influence by your blog.

Back to my title, the reason I blog is because sometime I have some idea in mind that I desire to do, but was forgetful and through behind my mind after the next day. One of the best way for me to remember, to continuous with my idea is to blog so that my idea keep continuous. That's doesn't matter how I arrangement my article, comments in my blog.

Of cause not forget also to share my opinion, tips, good memory, happiness, happening with my friends , colleague , family members , relative via my blog.

I will using the environmental (green world) as my perspective point to see politic, games, environmental, family, health, business, Feng Shui and so on. That's how my Forest Land come about.

Gov't to mull nuclear energy amid rising oil prices
Jun 22, 08 3:03pm
The government will look at alternative energy sources, including nuclear power, to help the nation reduce its reliance on oil, said deputy premier Najib.MORE
- Looking at other options too
- TNB ready to go nuclear

Article from : http://www.malaysiakini.com/

_______________________________________________________________

I was just queries , why not solar energy solution ?? Isn't it more environmental ? I was doubt is the government really done any research and understand the implementation of nuclear plan consequences to their "Rakyat" ? Why don't put the environment, safety as the first priority for your "Rakyat" ? Hope that your other options as mentioned not just for entertain......

Israel backs Palo Alto man's electric car plan

Why not goverment to initial the plan "fuel free" project ??
Must be political reason .... politic = money

(Information : Shai Agassi is the ex-CEO of German giant software company SAP AG)

Israel backs Palo Alto man's electric car plan
Matthew Kalman, Chronicle Foreign Service
Tuesday, June 17, 2008
_____________________________________________

(06-17) 04:00 PDT Tel Aviv - --
Shai Agassi, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, pledges that he can beat the spiraling cost of gasoline with the world's first mass-produced electric car.
In January, Israel's government endorsed the Palo Alto businessman's ambitious joint venture between his startup company - Project Better Place - and Renault-Nissan.
Agassi says he raised $200 million to get the $500 million dollar project, which will include a network of charging and battery-exchange stations by 2010, off the ground.
Project Better Place also has signed an agreement with Denmark to begin a similar operation by 2011. In Denmark, a pioneer in developing wind power, batteries are expected to be recharged using wind-powered turbines.
Agassi, a 39-year-old Israeli, co-founded Project Better Place after he quit his post in 2007 as president of the products and technology group for the German software giant SAP AG. Although some insiders say he left after losing out in a power struggle to become SAP's chief executive, Agassi says he left to focus on "issues that are important to me," including alternative energy and the future of Israel.
140 miles on a charge
Agassi is banking on his electric-powered sedan revolutionizing life on the roads, cleaning up the environment and reducing dependence on oil. The cars are expected to have a range of up to 140 miles per charge and a top speed of 68 mph - the speed limit in Israel.
Last month, he invited reporters to test-drive a prototype that looks a lot like the Renault Megane, a four-door sedan. The car is noticeably quiet and has no exhaust pipe, an electric socket in place of a gas cap and a dashboard gauge that measures the charge of the vehicle's 450-pound lithium-ion battery.
In the United States, Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle has said she is interested in her state becoming the first to embrace the electric-car network. Mayor Gavin Newsom also has reportedly expressed interest in making San Francisco the first U.S. metropolis to place electric cars on city roads.
Agassi said that because most rides are less than 100 miles, drivers can recharge batteries at home, at work or at thousands of charging points throughout Israel. On longer trips, they can exchange batteries in a five-minute operation at about 200 "swap stations."
"We have a second battery for every driver in the swap stations. It's waiting for you in case you need it. You don't need to carry it with you in the trunk," Agassi said.
Moreover, Nissan's global product planning chief, Tom Lane, has said his firm will soon announce a battery breakthrough, one that could increase driving range to around 200 miles per charge while recharging in as little as 20 minutes.
The cars are also expected to be more economical than a typical gas-driven sedan due in part to tax breaks from the Israeli and Danish governments. Agassi also says the development of the lithium-ion battery has significantly lowered the cost of electricity at a time when oil prices are soaring. Gas currently costs $10 a gallon in Israel and more than $8 a gallon in Denmark.
"Within a decade, the cost of energy for a single year of fuel supply for a combustion car should cost more than the cost of energy for an electric car's entire life, even when taking the cost of battery into consideration," Agassi said.
As with cellular phones, where the service providers install an infrastructure that allows users to make calls and send text, Project Better Place plans to charge $550 a month and provide 18,000 miles a year for the use of the batteries and charging and swap stations. The customer doesn't own the battery - the cars are designed to have easily removable battery packs that can be exchanged.
'Another nutty idea'
But not everyone is convinced that electric cars are the answer.
Jerry Flint, automotive analyst at Forbes magazine, wrote that the project looks like "another nutty idea. Electric cars have limited range and take a good while to recharge. I am still skeptical about how quickly manufacturers will solve the lithium-ion batteries' problems, such as overheating, and be able to put the batteries into mass production."
Nevertheless, the project has won the endorsement of Israeli President Shimon Peres and Idan Ofer, chairman of Israel Corp., one of the nation's major industrial conglomerates, who has invested $130 million in the program.
"I consider this to be a revolutionary project, and I believe that most of the public will drive an electric car within a decade," Ofer said.
Meanwhile, Agassi said he will continue driving his customized electric Toyota RAV4 EV - one of only 1,000 - on Northern California roads.
"I wish I had a battery swap station where I can drive to. We don't, so I manage my energy," he said. "It's one of the most fun cars I've ever driven, because every time I go by a gas station, I feel like I cheated."
The man behind battery-swap plan
Shai Agassi, 39, is an Israeli software entrepreneur who founded TopTier Software in Israel in 1992. He later moved the company's headquarters to Northern California.
In 2007, he co-founded the startup Project Better Place after he quit his job as top executive at the German software giant SAP AG.
Project Better Place wants to produce electric cars as an alternative to current fossil fuel technology.
The automobile that could revolutionize Israel - Denmark could be next
For the most part, foreign automakers - including Nissan-Renault, BMW, Audi, Mitsubishi and Subaru - are developing electric cars to meet California's zero-emission vehicle mandate, which requires at least 7,500 electric or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on state roads by 2014.
In the United States, electric vehicles are not a large part of U.S. automakers' plans - for the time being. And mileage per charge is not high. But in Israel, the joint-venture Nissan-Renault/Project Better Place electric car is expected to have a range of 140 miles per charge. For longer drives, motorists will be able to replace the battery at about 200 swap stations to be built throughout Israel by 2010.
Project Better Place also has signed an agreement with Denmark to begin a similar operation by 2011. Both the Israeli and Danish governments have agreed to provide tax incentives to stimulate the program.
U.S. explorations into the electric car arena include:
Chevrolet Volt: The Volt's plug-in batteries will handle around 40 miles, enough for a daily commute; the car can switch to gas power for longer drives. The Volt, which is expected to be available by the end of 2010, is the centerpiece of General Motors' push to develop alternative-fuel vehicles.
Tesla Motors: The San Carlos company makes an electric sports car that can do 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. The nearly $100,000 car can be plugged into a standard wall socket for six to seven hours. Or drivers can use a recharging station designed by Tesla installed in their garage.

Say no to Plastic !!

Somewhere batween 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year. But less than 1% of bags are recycled. This is because the cost to recycle a bag is more expensive than to produce a new one. Do you know where do there go ?? Bags find their way into the sea via drains and sewage pipes. Over time they break down into smaller, more toxic petro-polymers. The impact will be on wildlife can be catastrophic. Nearly 200 different species of sea life including corals, whales, dolphins and turtles die due to plastic bags.

What should we do to save our grandchild's life ?

If we can use a cloth bag to replace the plastic bags ;
we can save about 6 bags a week ;
that's 24 bags a month ;
that's 288 bags a year ;
that's 22,176 bags in an average life time ;
If 1 million people did this we would save 22,176,000,000 bags over our life time.
Plastic shopping bags are made from polyethylene: a thermoplastic made from oil. Reducing plastice bags will decrease foreign oil dependency. China has banned plastic bags and will thus save 37 million barrels of oil each year. Canada, Kenya, South Africa, Singapore and many others world over have banned or are moving toward banning the plastice bags !!
So what are you waiting for , say NO to plastic bags. Only you can change your grandchild's life style in the feuture.

World Environmental Day : Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy

Today is the World Environmental Day.
This year the UN's slogan for World Environmental Day is:
"Kick the Habit! Towards a Low Carbon Economy"

We should take it as a personal practice and promote means to save fuel, energy and resources for the interest of our common environment. More proactive solution instead of defentive solution such as :

1) Promoting of using Solar System

2) Using enzyme (垃圾酵素) to replace various sundry (etc. soap / cleaning liquid ..... )

3) ......
