Environment - February 2007

I imagine you've seen those emergency chargers that are available for phones that give you five minutes-worth of charge. Would you be willing to sit there winding like a fool to fill the battery completely if it meant saving tons of pollution every year? Or how about a charger attatched to your stepper or static bycicle? Excercise would be even more useful!
Or how about a generator connected to your office chair. If an automatic watch gets wound by the movement of a wrist, how much energy would be generated by the whole country when it turns to get up and get coffee?

John Howard has just banned traditional lightbulbs - which I think is an excellent idea. What gets on my nerves is when you drive around any town or city in the UK in the evening and you see these massive office buildings lit up light Christmas trees. Surely the government should ask the relevant building managers to switch of all their lights in the evening, this would help save money and wastage. Also, when you see massive warehouse all over the country, would'nt it be a good idea for them to have solar panels on the roof, this would make them alot more efficent and also take some pressure of the national grid, or i am misunderstanding something?

There is a twenty acre woods being bulldozed for farmland in my neighborhood. I'd like to make the dozer inoperable. I don't want to make it immediately noticable. Something like salt in the diesel fuel or something like that. Something that will take a day or so to ruin the motor.

I remember the old glass milk bottles, and once visited a Pepsi plant where returned bottles were washed. There seem to be many factors: convenience, health, transportation costs, recycling and remanufacturing costs as well as aesthetics. Has this question been studied in all its aspects?

If you add ice cubes to a half filled glass of water the level rises, but once the ice cubes melt the water level actually drops, so if global warming is causing all the ice bergs to melt, surely the sea level would drop before it began to rise?

In my opinion, this extreme weather Earth is experiencing might be global warming, but how do we know that?

Could extreme weather had happened in 1900s or 1800s; there weren't instruments which could record weather in those days?

Could this "extreme weather" we are having now, be "normal weather"?
