Electricity can be recovered from urine. With the help of pee researchers now hope to be able to improve the lighting and thus increase the safety of women in refugee camps. http://www.dn.se/webb-tv/klipp/nyheter/ditt-kiss-kan-tanda-lampan/ And Pubs:) |

Electricity can be recovered from urine. With the help of pee researchers now hope to be able to improve the lighting and thus increase the safety of women in refugee camps. Thanks for that. Doing a quick search for that one gave these two examples: Four young Nigerian girls have invented a generator that runs on urine The invention was first displayed in Lagos, November, 2012... University installs prototype 'pee power' toilet ... Students and staff at the Bristol-based University of the West of England are being asked to use the working urinal to feed microbial fuel cell (MFC) stacks that generate electricity to power indoor lighting... Anyone see what I see as a big problem for the Lagos pee power?... Meanwhile, the microbial fuel cell looks good so long as the microbes don't get too exuberant on the processed alcohol! We also have an awful lot a sewerage that can be usefully used...

It's very small steps but as the chinese says. A long journey begins with the first step. We will see more of it and hopefully the "politicians" will wake up! Girl Power:) Four young Nigerian girls have invented a generator that runs on urine. The system separates urine into nitrogen, water and hydrogen. Simple solutions are very good but very hard to find... |

Top scientists start to examine fiddled global warming figures Ah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Warming_Policy_Foundation The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a think tank in the United Kingdom, whose stated aims are to challenge "extremely damaging and harmful policies" envisaged by governments to mitigate anthropogenic global warming. The Independent describes the foundation as "the UK's most prominent source of climate-change denial". |

The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) is a think tank in the United Kingdom, whose stated aims are to challenge "extremely damaging and harmful policies" To whom the Petrochemical Company's , The Coal Company's other Masters of Industry maybe !!!! Top scientists start to examine fiddled global warming figures people go on about peer review and is not that what they are doing ? peer reviewing the Data !! So why are people making a big thing outa , a peer review ? I mite look at your other link later , possibly , kind'a , ....naaaaaa! |

One solution in the fight against the financial might and lobbying and Marketing corruption of the dirty fuels: From the carbon bubble to 'dirty energy' Leaving the "dirty stuff" in the ground is fast becoming the mantra of environmentalists, with the global campaign to move money out of fossil fuels gaining momentum. There is pressure to divest from oil and gas companies on the basis that they represent a "carbon bubble" of overvalued assets... ... studies show that existing fossil fuel reserves are several times greater than can be burned if the world's governments are to fulfil their pledge to keep global warming below the limit of 2 deg C... ... The practical approach is to burn the fossil fuels that are most cost-efficient and least "dirty". But some environmentalists say fossil fuel companies will never play a leading role in any move towards a low-carbon economy... ... One view is that the recent drop in oil prices presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for governments to get rid of fossil fuel subsidies and introduce a price on carbon. This generally goes against government thinking and concern over job losses in the oil and gas industry... [BUT...] All an immoral game of "pump up the financial bubble" and the polluting fallout and our world and ourselves be damned?...

One solution in the fight against the financial might and lobbying and Marketing corruption of the dirty fuels: Clyde If the oil and gas can last another century we don't have another Century It's just a hypd up version of Consume til we die . There will allways be a market form oil but not to burn it . Plastic's are made out of oil Coal on the other Hand ... What is coal ? Carbon , and yet another lie is "lets sequester the carbon and bury it underground " Ummm what is Coal again and why do we use it . ......ok , i'm a sucker wink wink |

Theories[edit] lost me after the first couply of lines mate , psyco babble to me . made when people where not as educated as we are now . |

[Lots of highly abstract generalized physocobabble to say...] Indeed so. What I think is trying to be said by all that abstract highfaluting confusion is that people are very poor at acquiring an accurate real-world view of the world around them and are blinded much more strongly by immediate needs and influences. For example, many people cannot see beyond their Friday paycheck and blow most of that away on their Friday night drinking to then leave themselves starving for the following week. They don't see ahead to the starving bit, or their immediate influence blinds them to any worry for the starving bit... Similarly so for what I'm suffering now with the "American way of working" whereby there is a mad scramble to meet arbitrary end-of-each-month 'deadlines' whereby you then must spend the following three weeks redoing the previous work to tidy it all up! Also all described as short term-ism. Is that now all exemplified with training our present generations with TV soundbites and making twitter twits of them?... If so, the 'burn-it-now' and 'tomorrow is too far away to worry about' is a corruptly powerful Marketing message for the dirty Fossils to kill us all with... President Nixon was given clear details for where our climate was being polluted to and the costly impact on the USA and home security. The crunch period was forecast to be about 40 years away from then. Excellent forecast for the information and tools available at the time and remarkably accurate. He chose to leave the problem to his successors and ourselves. So how to turn the short-term-ism around to something more positive?

Challenge yourself with a CO2 diet for 30 days. https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fkoldioxidbanta.se%2F&edit-text= |

Challenge yourself with a CO2 diet for 30 days. Lets see; i have solar panels, never throw anything edible away, only fly once a year, never buy bottled water, take the bus to work and make my few clothes that fit me last. Not bad going. Reduce my meat consumption? I don't think so. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Reduce my meat consumption? I don't think so. Me neither. I need B12 vitamins and other vitamins that's not in vegetables. I don't have solar panels but I live very much like you do. So I guess I have the right to eat meat. And the CO2 emissions from producing meat can be dealt with. |

Marmite is also a good source of B12. I don't have (and don't want) children, so in environmental terms i could drive a fleet of Range Rovers and still come out ahead. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Marmite is also a good source of B12. Marmite:) A former brother in law of mine liked that. I don't Think we have it here. Best source of B12 is raw liver. But then Hannibal Lector comes to mind:) |

Marmite is also a good source of B12. I know that cows sometimes are getting same problems with B12. Greenhouse effect? |
