Humans and Global warming

Most of us have heard about global warming and how it is slowly chewing away into the life of our beloved mother earth, about how it has caused several noticeable changes in the weather patterns due to climate change resulting from the emission of green house gases. It has raised some environmental issues as well, both directly and indirectly from the pollution of these green house gases, be it from the rising sea levels due to the increased in the earth’s surface temperature or the susceptibility of the our health factor due to the irregular heat and cold exposure.

Doing our part, is it enough?

Some of us are doing our part to help the environment through various means from recycling our recyclable products, changing our wasteful habits to installing solar panels and harnessing wind power as an alternative source of energy for our house. Some big corporation and major industries are doing their part as well by promoting and sponsoring awareness campaigns, making sure their waste discharge, by products and their gas emission abide and comply by the health regulatory boards. These discharges go through several processes to be classified as environmentally friendly before being discharge and released into the environment. Some of them have also implemented various tactics, methods and technology to reduce their energy and resources usage. From installing water saving devices to researching new technologies to reduce carbon emission, all these in an effort to reduce our carbon emission the release of more greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.

Renewable energies

Self sustaining and renewable energy sources holds great promises for a greener and cleaner future. Harnessing nature’s forces for our benefits such building dams, wind driven turbines and thermal generator to utilize geysers are just few of the examples. The latest technology introduce into the scene is the ability to be able to harness the energies of waves to generate electricity. Man kind are so desperately seeking alternatives for sources of renewable energy as each passing day we are pushing the supply limits of our natural gas and fossil fuels to the brink of extinction. The supply and demand balance will soon tip greatly as our supplies of energy continue to deplete and individual countries continues to increase their energy consumption.

Taking Turkey as a case study, Kaygusuz (2007) reported that the country have shown energy increased in energy consumption at an average of 4.3% annually since 1990. In comparison to its increased energy usage, its carbon dioxide emission has also whooped up to an alarming figure of 193 million tons in the year 2003. Multiply the figure with all the developed and developing countries and then we fast tracked it 10 years down the road. It is no longer a surprise that we our fossil fuels supplies will be facing depletion sooner then predicted by the experts.

We are to blame?

Are ‘we’ humans really to blame for the rise in the global temperature and the current condition of mother earth. We would question ourselves as we observe for the past few years as headlines in the news showcase stories of cities and countries being hit by early frost, late frost, sudden blitz, ice storms and hail storms. Notice are sometimes displayed and to alert people to prepare and brace themselves with the coming of snow storms, cyclones and many more of such similar examples. This can be used as environmental indicators and evidence as to how distorted our weather patterns have gone. At present carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are the main Green house gases deemed to be the culprits behind global warming.

However there are several ideologies out there calcimining that this is part of a natural cycle. They explain that as we see the trend in the rise of the global temperature for the past few centuries and how they have declined in recent times. Maybe that explains the unexpected surges in late and early frost. Be it if it’s a natural cycle or that we are to be blamed for contributing to the Earth’s environmental degradation, we as the planets inhabitants have a role and responsibility to sustain it for our future generation and the many other inhabitants that we share this planet with. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the Gaia is sick.

Recycling is the key to confronting global warming and reducing the effects of green house gases. Recycling is pretty amazing, and a valuable resource for us to promote all over the country. Unfortunately, plastics are piling up in the landfills rather than being given a second chance to serve another round on the market. This is sad as the more we result in land filling, the more plastics are being produce. A great advantage of recycling is that it conserves energy resources, such as coal and petroleum deposits. Many people know how important it is to recycle. Others either do not understand or they do not care about the effects that their own decision to not recycle will make.

Eco living is a lifestyle adorned by many in the quest for a brighter, greener future. The general ‘green’ aim is one with intent and it strives to promote longevity (whether it be potential or actual) of vital human ecological support systems – such as climatic, agricultural, industry and other various issues that directly impact our environment. The notion that a balanced environmental state can be maintained at a certain, healthy level, indefinitely speaking, is what separates green individuals’ motives from a standard individuals lack of action. Not only will ‘small’ eco friendly changes help make the earth a better place, they are also sure to benefit ourselves, our families, and our wallets- so it’s really a win all situation! “Being eco-friendly doesn’t always require drastic changes in your day to day. Sure, it would be great if everyone could trade in their inefficient gas guzzlers for hybrid cars but there are also lots of little changes we can make that are sure to have major impacts.

There are many recycled products available on the market these days, and nearly all products can be recycled to some degree. Many councils and government departments use recycled goods where they can to reinforce the governments stand on creating a greener future. Recycled products are often close to or equal in price to products made from virgin materials. By using recycled products, we are reducing the production levels of non-recycled goods and therefore helping the environment. Businesses and organisations have become more aware recycling and the benefits it brings, so therefore utilise recycled products for their marketing.

If you have a business, then you can even buy ‘recycled’ promotional products to help with your marketing or promotional advertising. You can increase referrals by using recycled promotional products to encourage current clients to refer a friend or colleague to your business. Business, conference and exhibition aids represent a sizeable portion of the total promotional product industry and their continuing use is a clear sign of their effectiveness. As part of your promotional campaign you could equip your employees with company branded clothing and name tags, many of which can be made from recycled materials, to help reinforce your company identity, and add a professional touch. People love to receive promotional gifts. That is why they prove so popular at trade shows and events; So why not opt for recycled gifts?

A popular environmentally friendly item that can be used daily and is great for getting your company name, are printed biodegradable bags. Biodegradable material is that which can be naturally broken down into organic components. Because a product is advertised as biodegradable it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is good for the environment. It was only a few decades ago that the manufacturing cost of standard plastic carrier bags became so low that it allowed them to become the environmental problem that they are today. Bioplastics are the new craze in the plastic industry. Bioplastic is produced from the components of organic materials such as soy oil and corn starch.
