L’EVEIL DE LA PERMACULTURE - Bande-Annonce. The Choice is Ours (2016) Official Full Version. Tesla's OFF-GRID Generator. Aims and Proposals. The plans of The Venus Project offer society a broader spectrum of choices based on the scientific possibilities directed toward a new era of peace and sustainability for all.

Aims and Proposals

Through the implementation of a global Resourced Based Economy, and a multitude of innovative and environmentally friendly technologies directly applied to the social system, The Venus Project proposals will dramatically reduce crime, poverty, hunger, homelessness, and many other pressing problems that are common throughout the world today. One of the cornerstones of the organization’s findings is the fact that many of the dysfunctional behaviors of today’s society stem directly from the dehumanizing environment of a monetary system. In addition, automation has resulted in the technological replacement of human labor by machines and eventually most people will not have the purchasing power to buy the goods and services turned out.

Phase 1: Research Center. The Venus Project. The Venus Project is an organization that proposes a feasible plan of action for social change, one that works towards a peaceful and sustainable global civilization.

The Venus Project

It outlines an alternative to strive toward where human rights are no longer paper proclamations but a way of life. We propose a fresh, holistic approach – one that is dedicated to human and environmental concerns. It is an attainable vision of a bright and better future, one that is appropriate to the times in which we live, and both practical and feasible for a positive future for all the world’s people. We advocate an alternative vision unlike any social system that has gone before.

Our conclusions are based on years of study and experimental research by many people from various scientific disciplines. The Venus Project is a veritable blueprint for the genesis of a new world civilization, one that is based on human concern and environmental reclamation. El proceso de desalación.

Aprovechamiento del agua de lluvia

Promoviendo el ahorro de agua a la vez que se evitan los problemas generados por inundaciones. En el sector industrial se está generando un cambio de enfoque hacia la gestión del agua de lluvia. Si antes los escurrimientos pluviales eran vistos como un problema que afectaba la producción en la planta, debido a las infiltraciones en techos y los encharcamientos en vialidades; ahora se está viendo como un recurso que se puede aprovechar y reutilizar para bajar el consumo de agua en algunos procesos industriales o incluso para su potabilización y reúso en todos los servicios. Se busca hacer uso de la infraestructura existente para requerir el mínimo de inversión. Muchas empresas ya cuentan con drenajes separados que conducen el agua de techos y calles hacia el punto más bajo de la planta para descargarlos hacia el sistema municipal.

Estrategias eficientes de captación de agua ambiental. 5 easy swaps to reduce your water footprint. TreeHugger recently had the chance to speak with Stephen Leahy, the author of the new book “Your Water Footprint.”

5 easy swaps to reduce your water footprint

The book looks beyond the everyday water uses that we’re most familer with, like showering and cooking, and explores the water that we rely on unknowingly. This is the “virtual water” that grows the food we eat, is used to generate electricity, and produce our electronics. Will water footprinting help companies better manage the resource? Water is not just vital to sustain life; it's also a crucial resource for businesses.

Will water footprinting help companies better manage the resource?

From food and clothing to cars and mobile phones, water is an essential input. But if you don't know how much you are using or how much is available to use in a given catchment, it's impossible to reduce water use or identify threats to operations from water scarcity. In a recent survey, chief executives and world leaders said they regarded water availability in the top five global risks to business — and with good reason.

Plastic Pollution Coalition. Plastic Breaks Down in Ocean, After All. August 20, 2009 Though ocean-borne plastic trash has a reputation as an indestructible, immortal environmental villain, scientists announced yesterday that some plastics actually decompose rapidly in the ocean.

Plastic Breaks Down in Ocean, After All

And, the researchers say, that's not a good thing. The team's new study is the first to show that degrading plastics are leaching potentially toxic chemicals such as bisphenol A into the seas, possibly threatening ocean animals, and us. Scientists had previously thought plastics broke down only at very high temperatures and over hundreds of years. The Story of Bottled Water.

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day), employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows virtually free from the tap.

The Story of Bottled Water

Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industry’s attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces.

Why is Plastic Pollution a Problem in Our Oceans?

To him, it looks like a jellyfish, its general shape and consistency swaying and catching the light in just the right way. He swims toward it and ingests the bag in one gulp, satisfying his hunger, and then goes on his away. In actuality, that plastic bag lines his gut, causing digestive blockages and the sea turtle’s eventual death from starvation. This is why a sea turtle could confuse a plastic bag with a jellyfish (Plastic Pollution Coalition) This story is all too common in the marine environment. Only 9% of plastics in the United States are recycled, and since most are not biodegradable, much of this refuse floats around for years, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces that are invisible to the naked eye. WildAid currently works with marine parks throughout Ecuador to remove ghost nets and discarded fishing line from the sea during regular patrols.

ENVIRONMENT-PANAMA: Water Quality Decling Due to Pollution. Environment, Headlines, Latin America & the Caribbean Silvio Hernández - The quality of Panama’s drinking water, a source of pride for this Central American country until around 10 years ago, has suffered a severe decline due to urban sprawl, chaotic growth of industry, deforestation and the pollution of water sources. Independent experts, the Panama canal commission and the governmental Institute of National Aqueducts and Sewer Systems (Idaan) warn that the country could be left without clean water by the year 2010 if urgent measures are not taken.

Researcher Stanley Heckadon said the area around the Panama canal and its tributaries and nearby lakes, the source of water for the 1.2 million inhabitants of the metropolitan region, “is full of clandestine dumps” created by nearby companies and informal, unplanned urban settlements. The population of the canal zone has mushroomed from 20,000 in 1950 to around 200,000 today. Water Quality is Impaired by Agricultural Runoff in Panama and the United States – COHA. By: Wren Greaney, Research Associate at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs Failures of past Panamanian governments to effectively regulate farming and to consider the broad, and often deleterious, effects of chemicals being used in agriculture have significantly impaired water quality in rural regions of Panama.

Poor management and minimal regulation of pesticides and herbicides can profoundly contribute to water pollution from agricultural runoff. Because Panama’s policies have not effectively addressed the problem of agricultural runoff, the nation is facing public health issues tied to persistent water pollution. ENVIRONMENT-PANAMA: Alternative Solutions to Marine Pollution. Development & Aid, Environment, Headlines, Latin America & the Caribbean David Carrasco - Explosive urban growth has resulted in greater waste production, leading city authorities to consider an alternative waste water treatment system, used in the rehabilitation of coastal areas in Brazil and Chile, to clean up the polluted Bay of Panama.

Astrid Wolf, president of the Panama City Urban Development Commission, told IPS that the level of marine pollution along the Pacific coast is a major ecological challenge for local residents. Panama - Country Water Partnerships - ABOUT GWP. Ocean Pollution. Water Pollution. What is water pollution? Water pollution happens when toxic substances enter water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans and so on, getting dissolved in them, lying suspended in the water or depositing on the bed. This degrades the quality of water.
