The End of The World in 2012
21 December 2012 – The End of The World?
There is one date almost every person on the earth is aware of – 21 December 2012. All religions are different, however there is one thing they have in common – 2012 end of the world. Almost each religion tells that our planet and all humans will change.
The most significant prediction was made by Mayans, in their calendar, 21 december 2012 is the last date. According to the world will enter a new age on the particular date. With the Mayans civilization being extremely knowledgeable in both astronomy and mathematics, the prediction has generated lot of interest around the world. Let us take a look at 4 top reasons why the December 21st, 2012 is so important.
1. The Calendar has been made more than 3,500 years ago by mayans who were very experienced in mathematics, science and astrology. The calendar clearly mentions that there would be major changes that would take place in the world, come December 2012 Doomsday.
2. There are many among the scientific community who believe that due to global warming, solar storms would be entering the earth in large quantities by 2012 and this could trigger off a series of catastrophes. These people think that our world will be completely destroyed on this date and the mankind will extinct.
3. Some reputable geologists say that in 2012, volcanic activity will seriously increase. Folks following this theory think that volcans will be the reason why our planet will be destroyed.
4. Some scientists believe that on the particular date the north and south poles will shift.
Nowadays there are hundreds of websites about the date. The thing is, finding scientifically proven theories is not an easy thing. In case you want to learn more proven info on the date, check out the website above.
Do You Want To Go Organic?
We only have one world to live in. We need to take our own share to keep this world going in a natural way and as clean as possible. The footprint that many people leave are so large as they deplete natural resources without the thought of replenishing them. At this rate we could really be in trouble when it comes to
Nowadays, large numbers of individuals are using organic products and that number is growing. From organic food, to organically grown products like clothes, extra long hemp shower curtains, bedding and even household furniture.
We have even coined a new term about a house called a “green house”. Materials used in building this house are organic and natural. Walls and floors are made of wood while the decor, bedding and shower curtains are also made from natural materials. The windows are designed to keep the energy bill down and the house is equipped with a tankless water heater and solar panels. This is quite a home that will generate it’s own energy and can even generate it’s own water with a rain collector. At home you can find many ways to be less wasteful and more environmentally friendly.
The food served is even health and all natural. These are healthy and natural places to live because they are complete. The organic homes have large vegetable gardens that produce large quantities of food that don’t need to be grown elsewhere. They have even build a chicken coop in the back yard to help produce some eggs. Upfront costs on all of this can be no laughing matter, it’s expensive. The short term costs are worth the long term benefits.
Be prepared to have a large bill when setting all these organic items into your home but realize you are helping the planet last longer. Even if you only do one thing, that is better than nothing at all. You will enjoy the benefits of going organic.
The Amazon Kindle Will Lower The Carbon Footprint Of Reading
In 2008 the US book and magazine industry was responsible for the harvesting of 125 million trees. Many publishing firms are environmentally aware and use sustainably sources for their paper supply. Simply put, they plant a tree for every one they cut down. However, not all do this and even those who do usually fail to take account of the large quantities of water and thermal energy used in the production of the paper.
The carbon footprint of the average book is 7.5 kg of CO2 over its lifetime. However, if you ho into your car, drive to the shopping district to buy your book, and then drive home again, the carbon footprint of that book will be doubled. It’s amazing how relatively small actions like this make such a difference.
So it should be no surprise to learn that electronic book readers – such as the Amazon Kindle – are kinder to the environment. Even aside from the fact that no paper, ink or water are used in the production of electronic books, the method of delivery – download from the internet using either standard connection or 3G wireless technology – is considerably more environmentally friendly.
Of course, it would be wrong to suggest that e-book readers have no environmental impact. Clearly they consume both energy and materials in the course of the manufacturing process of the reader device. Additionally, they require electrical power when in use. Even when these factors are factored into the equation, they are still considerably better for the environment than the continued use of traditional printed books, magazines and newspapers.
It is estimated that in 2009, e-book readers will be “carbon neutral” – the CO2 saved by the use of electronic media will almost exactly balance the CO2 used to manufacture and power the devices. In the near future, as usage of e-book readers grows, the manufacture and operating “cost” will be more than outweighed by the savings gained by avoiding the production, processing and distribution of traditional paper based books and magazines.
The majority of people will purchase their Kindle reader based on the fact that it’s convenient, trendy and that it offers a way for them to save money on books. The fact that it’s more environmentally friendly will probably be a secondary consideration for many – even so, it will have a significant positive impact in the future.
Ionic Air Purifiers – User Safety Is Top Priority
Safety tops all criteria in the selection of an ionic air purifier for use in the home, office, factory or school.
Existing ionic air purifier technology, regardless of whether they originate in North America, Europe, Japan or China produce a primary beneficial reactive agent.Depending on the specific technology, these reactive agents may be called negative ions, bipolar ions, plasmacluster ions and so on. Their chief role is to eliminate contaminants in the air we breathe. There is much research on the efficacy of these reactive agents in eliminating contaminants. What we do not know is whether these same potent reactive agents also cause harm to fragile human tissues such as those that line our breathing passages from the trachea to the lungs.
There is also an information vacuum about whether there are other by-products and if these are harmful to human tissues as well. In the industry, however, it is known that current ionic air purifier technology inadvertently results in the production of by-products. In sufficient quantities, these may prove harmful to human tissue. One of the main by-products which attracts much attention is ozone, which in high concentrations is known to be harmful to human tissues.
Accordingly, for the ionic air purifier user, the issue of safety has to be addressed from these two perspectives:
(1) Potential harm from the beneficial reactive agents, and
(2) Potential harm from the unintended by-products.
Though not exhaustive, our intensive research on these two perspectives have been condensed into two detailed write-ups that have been featured on Ezinearticles.com.
