GARBAGE ENZYME can save our earth!!!

Hi everyone...long time didn't update this environment blog. Too busy...alright today, I’m going to add in a new topic which we can reuse, reduce and recycle- 3R.

Have you all heard about garbage enzyme? Or maybe food enzyme? I have did 2 bottle of garbage enzyme. I’m using it now when I wash my clothes, I added a few drops in the pail with detergent. I found out that this garbage enzyme is working as a bleach. I do not need to use bleach to clean my dirty shocks. My clothes became softer after I use it. Haha I think it’s a good news to people who wanted to have a clean shocks without using bleach. Besides that, through my finding in through the net there are more benefits using this garbage enzyme. You can wash clothes, plates, car, mopping floor, and water plant with it. Besides that, it can act as pesticides and insecticides. Of course you are not pouring the whole thing in. you can dilute the pesticides with this garbage enzyme. Reference, http://garbageenzyme.com/

Ok now I’m going to share the way to produce garbage enzyme in your house.
First we need black sugar or brown sugar, water and some kitchen waste. Normally fruit waste and vegetable waste are used. Meat is not preferable because it will cause bad smell. The ratio of water to black sugar to kitchen waste are 10:1:3. For examples, 1 liter of water, 100g of black sugar and 300g of kitchen waste. If you are doing 1 litter water, please use a 1.5 litter bottle. This is because during fermentation, a lot of CO2 will be released by bacteria which are doing anaerobic activities. PET or glass or latex bottle cab be used. Do open the bottle cover once a while to release CO2. For there for minimum 3 months. After 3 months, you can use it.

So it’s very easy. Do it if you have the initiatives to save our earth. Easy and low cost. Save our earth from over loading waste… I do not want to see our like what happen in the movie ‘Wall E’. scary….

The Magic of 'rice water'

Rice water = air beras if you do understand what is rice water. Rice water is water that you will get after you wash your rice. The water has a lot of benefits to us.

For ladies, rice water has whitening effect, so it is very useful. Normally water is taken from the first washing water. Don’t disturb the water till you see some precipitate in the base of water. Apply precipitate on your face. Wait for 15- 20 minute. You can feel that your face is smoother and acne will be less obvious.

For farmers or people that love to plant in home, you can use rice water as pesticide. There is a man that plants a lot of rambutan in his garden. He found that the leaves of rambutan trees have holes. Seems like bitten by insects. Then he took 2 litter of rice water to pour on those rambutan leaves. What happens is when he checks his tree tomorrow, many insects are found dead under the tree. This is because of the composition of rice water. When insects swallow rice water, protein crystal will dissolves in the insects’ digestive system. It will produce tocsin for insects. The molecule tocsin will form holes in on the gut wall. It will disturb the osmotic level in those insects gut, then it will burst and cause bacterial infections. Insects will stop eating and stop moving then it will die. This is an organic pesticides and will not contribute to pollutions.

26 things u should do:

1. Turn off lights.
2. Turn off other electric things, like TVs, stereos, and radios when not in use.
3. Use rechargable batteries.
4. Do things manually instead of electrically, like open cans by hand.
5. Use fans instead of air conditioners.
6. In winter, wear a sweater instead of turning up your thermostat.
7. Insulate your home so you won't be cold in winter.
8. Use less hot water.
9. Whenever possible, use a bus or subway, or ride your bike or walk.
10. Try to buy organic fruits and vegetables if you're concerned about pesticides. (Organic food is grown without man-made fertilizers and/or pesticides).
11. Don't waste products made from forest materials.
12. Use recycled paper and/or recycle it. Reuse old papers.
13. Don't buy products that may have been made at the expense of the rainforest.
14. Support products that are harvested from the rainforest but have not cut down trees to get it.
15. Plant trees, espessially if you have cut one down.
16. Get other people to help you in your cause. Make and/or join an organization.
17. Avoid products that are used once, then thrown away.
18. Buy products with little or no packaging.
19. Encourage your grocery store sell environmentally friendly cloth bags for people to use when they shop, or bring your own.
20. REDUCE, REUSE, & RECYCLE.
21. Compost.
22. Buy recycled products.
23. Don't buy pets taken from the wild.
24. If you have a good zoo nearby, (if the animals are healthy and the zoo takes care of them), support it! Espessially if they help breed endangered animals.
25. Don't buy products if animals were killed to make it.
26. Cut up your six-pack rings before throwing them out.

history of oil...

How Was Oil Formed?
Oil was formed from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago in a marine (water) environment before the dinosaurs. Over the years, the remains were covered by layers of mud. Heat and pressure from these layers helped the remains turn into what we today call crude oil . The word "petroleum" means "rock oil" or "oil from the earth."

Where Do We Get Our Oil?
Crude oil is a smelly, yellow-to-black liquid and is usually found in underground areas called reservoirs. Scientists and engineers explore a chosen area by studying rock samples from the earth. Measurements are taken, and, if the site seems promising, drilling begins. Above the hole, a structure called a 'derrick' is built to house the tools and pipes going into the well. When finished, the drilled well will bring a steady flow of oil to the surface.
The world's top five crude oil-producing countries are:
Saudi Arabia
Russia
United States
Iran
China

Bad Facts About Our Earth

• If you throw away 2 aluminum cans, you waste more energy than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) of the world's poorest people use a day.
• Making a new can from scratch uses the uses the energy equal to half a can of gasoline.
• About one third of what an average American throws out is packaging.
• More than 1,000,000,000 (one billion) trees are used to make disposable diapers every year.
• In one minute, 50 acres of rainforest are destroyed.
• Some rain has a pH of 3 or 4. (which is pretty acidic, considering 7 is neutral, not acidic, and battery acid has a pH of 1). Some fish, such as lake trout and smallmouth bass, have trouble reproducing at a pH of 6, which is only slightly acidic. Some clams and snails can't survive at all. Most crayfish are dead at a pH of 5. You can see how bad this is for the environment.
• On average, a person in the US uses energy two times more than a person in Japan or West Germany does, and 50 times more than a person in India.
• About 90% of the energy used in lighting a standard (incandescent) light bulb is lost as heat.
• Air conditioning uses 10 times more energy than a fan, therefore, it creates 10 times the pollutants.
• It takes half the output of the Alaskan pipeline to heat the air that escapes from all the homes in the US during a year.
• Cars and pick-up trucks are responsible for about 20% of the carbon dioxide released into the air.
• There are about 500 million automobiles on the planet, burning an average of 2 gallons of fuel a day. Each gallon releases 20 pounds of carbon dioxide into the air.
• About 80% of our trash goes to landfills, 10% is incinerated, and 10% is recycled.
• Since there is little oxygen underground, where we bury our garbage, to help bacteria eat the garbage, almost nothing happens to it. Scientists have dug into landfills and found ears of corn still intact after 20 years, and newspapers still readable after 30.
• The average American makes about 3.5 pounds of trash a day.
• In a year, the average American uses as much wood in the form of paper as the average resident of the developing world burns as fuel.

recyling can save energy!!!

Recycling means to use something again. Newspapers can be used to make new newspapers. Aluminum cans can be used to make new aluminum cans. Glass jars can be used to make new glass jars. Recycling often saves energy and natural resources through conservation.

It almost always takes less energy to make a product from recycled materials than it does to make it from new materials. Using recycled aluminum scrap to make new aluminum cans, for example, uses 95 percent less energy than making aluminum cans from bauxite ore, the raw material used to make aluminum.

Natural resources are riches provided courtesy of Mother Nature. Natural resources include land, plants, minerals, and water. By using materials more than once, we conserve natural resources. In the case of paper, recycling saves trees and water. Making a ton of paper from recycled stock saves up to 17 trees and uses 50 percent less water...http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/index.html

however, recycling still consume energy, so the best way is reduce and reuse. we can reduce using plastics and aluminium can. tis can save a lot of energy. save enery can reduce constucting of damp and indirectly will reduce deforestation. so do save save energ by reduce, reuse n recycle.

besides saving energy, we can reduce waste in tis world if v use less plastics , glass jar and aluminium can. so v do not need to hav lots of landfill...landfill will produce leachate (liquid produce from waste when they decompose or mix wif water, it is toxic and contain heavy metal, will harm our health). tis leachate will contaminate our ground water.

so human!!! lets reduce our waste by reduce, reuse n recycle!!! save energy!!! yeah!!!

we r using our future generations' resources...

my lec, tat army look lec n owes talk very agresive told us tat v r using our future generations' resources. y would he say tat? everyone depends on the ecosystems. over past 50 years, human have changed ecosystems rapidly. we hav more demand on water, food, and other services.

many of us including me, we hav experience to throw our food, things tat v finish using it and oso food tat v din manage to finish consuming it. y we can hav these chance to waste food, while there are people all aound tis world tat dun hav the chance to drink clean water. so when next time u wan to order ur food, pls think whether u'll be able to finish it. think bout them in Africa, Palestin, Isreal and more developing countries....
