Heard of increasing carbon dioxide emissions and green energy? It is time you switched over to green energy sources and do your bit to make the earth better place to live in. Every small and negligible effort does go a long way to reduce the impact of climate change.

UK generates majority of its energy requirement by burning coal and gas. Carbon dioxide is a by product of this burning which when released heats up the earth’s temperature and leads to drastic climate changes.
Environmentalists are propagating the use of green energy which has minimal impacts on the earth and its climate. The green energy sources are also termed as clean energy sources which utilize the natural energy which is abundantly available on earth. The popular sources of green or renewable energy are
Wind power – The harnessing of winds blowing across the country by turbines in order to produce electricity is a source of green electricity. With recent developments, turbines now make less noise and are super efficient. In future, it is very much likely to find wind turbines situated at sea shores and the nearby areas will be receiving electricity from these windfarms.
Solar Power – Enormous amount of energy received from the sun can be converted into electricity and utilized accordingly. This procedure involves the use of solar photovoltaic modules which effectively convert solar power into electricity through the semiconductor technology. The introduction of passive solar approach involves construction of buildings which maximizes the absorption of solar energy. The solar energy so accumulated can be used for varied purposes such as lighting and heating.
Hydro power – The generation of electricity by using water turbines is a relatively old concept. Today it cater to slightly more than 1% of UK’s total electricity. The need of the hour is to develop small scale hydro power stations which generate enough electricity to cater to local areas and do not cause much damage to the local ecosystem.
Biomass – Use of specially grown plants or agriculture waste to generate fuel is another way of generating renewable energy. By burning these plants to generate electricity, absorbed carbon dioxide is released which is not harmful to the atmosphere. There have been cases where forests have been cleared to grow special energy crops to be used as biomass which are a definite cause of concern.
Landfill gas – The decomposition of rubbish in the landfill releases methane gas. This methane gas is burnt in a gas turbine in order to generate electricity. Instead of releasing methane into air which is a powerful greenhouse gas it would be advisable to burn it off and generate electricity. Presently there are many landfill gas sites in UK which generate electricity.
Most gas and electricity suppliers UK advocate the use of energy from renewable sources. They offer gas and electricity offers which release zero carbon or aid in production of renewable source of energy. Most of these offers are provided at standard tariffs and are affordable. It would a good initiative on your part to sign up for green energy products and do your best to reduce carbon emissions.

The Evolution of BioplasticsDec 20, 2010 - 1:45:47 AM Recent concerns over the use of more environmentally sound approaches to making plastics have brought on a whole new industry. Bioplastics, or plastics made from corn starch, wheat and sugar cane are designed to break down quickly and do not contaminate the environment using petroleum based processes. Despite great progress, petrochemical-source plastics are still in use but their days may be numbered.... [Read the full story] |
