Biosphere Technology for Modern Conservation

Posted on by

It is so traditional thought to most of us that the only cheaper source of electricity comes from fossil fuels like coal and other than that there is no reliable source. Contributing reason is the fact that many environmentalists have pushed the wind and solar power which can only supply about 5-15% of world’s energy demand given the fact that this 15% is not enough to resolve the aggravating environmental problems today. Yes, these are considered green energy but they are not enough to sustain the increasing demand of energy worldwide. In this case modern conservation ways can be our tool in providing our energy needs while conserving our natural environment at the same time.

There are newer green technologies nowadays that can be doable solutions for both energy and environmental problems. These technologies can be referred as modern conservation methods. Although many people don’t believe that it is possible but come to think of it, if we are not going to utilize this kind of technologies the world will remain dependent on fossil fuels and environmental concerns will never be solved.

Green technologies such as biosphere technology or biosphere process can be the best tool for environmental conservation. The construction of this kind of technology may be costly however the return of investments is highly beneficial for our environment and energy needs. This will give us the opportunity to make changes with the way we consume and produce energy without causing harm to our environment. Just take for example, Biosphere Technology, is a great tool for waste management and energy production. Other good thing about this technology is that it provides other by products like carbon black, high alloy steel wire, and pozzolanic ash. Having these end products as alternatives to raw materials many natural resources can be preserved.

But how can biosphere technology be helpful to the world, particularly to our environment? Biosphere technology is a waste to energy system that integrates gasification process in converting waste materials into green energy or electricity. It helps by providing green solutions to the problems brought by improper waste disposal at the same time offers a more ecological way of producing energy. It can be used for large scale energy production without having to use our natural resources since it uses waste materials as its fuel. Another good thing about this technology it is safe for our atmosphere in fact it has full compliance with U.S, European and other international atmospheric emissions standards. Definitely this technology should be developed and adopted by all nations to make true changes in energy and our environment.

Become Your Own Personal Home Improvement Specialist or Hire It Out

If you look around your current home there are endless projects you can do, and many of them will save you money on your energy bills, or increase the property value. Not to mention there is a good sense of pride knowing that you have upgraded your home, and that you did it yourself. Perhaps this is why big box home improvement stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot have done so well here the United States and abroad. Interestingly enough, they are not doing as well in all markets. Okay so, let’s talk about shall we?

On September 15, 2012 the Wall Street Journal had an article “Home Depot: Chinese Prefer Do-It-For-Me” by Laurie Burkitt. It turns out that in China citizens prefer often enough to pay someone else to do the work rather than do it themselves, and the article noted that Home Depot is considering closing all 7 of its stores in China.

You would think that the Chinese would enjoy doing things themselves, and also wishing to save the money. Many come from humble beginnings, and families who were engaged in farming, they had to do everything themselves, and make do. Nevertheless, city life has changed much of that, and perhaps this is why the home improvement centers and big box stores of this type just haven’t caught on in China. Maybe they will the future, but that is an unknown that large corporations can’t risk with shareholders equity, or the need to maintain quarterly profits in their Chinese operations.

It’s not that the Chinese are not resourceful people, they very much are rather they would simply wish to put their trust in a tradesman, a specialist who knows what they are doing. In many regards this is good for small business development, and it shows a respect for the craftsman. Still, small businesses looking for building materials and supplies are more apt to go to a wholesale distributor rather than a Home Depot big box home improvement center. Do you see that point?

You shouldn’t be too surprised with this as all cultures are different and each values different things, and different groups within their own society often have different thinking. Middle-class Chinese would rather hire someone who specializes to come in and do the work for them rather than doing it themselves and perhaps screwing it up.

They wouldn’t want anything that wasn’t done correctly, and they probably do not trust themselves doing the job because they don’t have a decade or more of experience in that particular home improvement skill. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
