Temat: Hunger Strike Begins in Tokyo for the Children and Dolphins
...these other countries started threatening us about us polluting the air? Because we are threatening the planet as a whole. And I realize that we are not the only country that is causing the problem, but the US probably the leading country of air pollution. Which is worse?
Don't think I support killing dolphins, I don't. And not just because I think they are cute. The deaths of dolphins is messing with the ecosystems that can cause further problems down the road. Not to mention water pollution (i.e. mercury in the dolphins). Everyone is at fault! And I know that if you don't address the problem, some people may keep going on as if nothing is wrong. But when isn't really appropriate to step in, and when do you just "let it go"?
I realize that the US is not innocent in killing either, but people in glass houses should not throw stones. Maybe we should worry about fixing our own "messes" that we create and then worry about...

Temat: BP gets break on dumping in lake
...allow the company to refine heavier Canadian crude oil. They justified the move in part by noting the project will create 80 new jobs. Under BP's new state water permit, the refinery -- already one of the largest polluters along the Great Lakes -- can release 54 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more sludge into Lake Michigan each day. Ammonia promotes algae blooms that can kill fish, while sludge is full of concentrated heavy metals. The refinery will still meet federal water pollution guidelines. But federal and state officials acknowledge this marks the first time in years that a company has been allowed to dump more toxic waste into Lake Michigan. BP, which aggressively markets itself as an environmentally friendly corporation, is investing heavily in Canadian crude oil to reduce its reliance on sources in the Middle East. Extracting petroleum from the thick goop is a dirtier process than conventional methods. It also...

Temat: Orcas on the Edge
...radar to find salmon. âœThereâÂÂs probably a lot of synergistic interactions between these stressors,â Ford says. âœWhen there are fewer salmon, the whales have to work harder to find food. More noise may make it harder to find those fewer fish. The increased nutritional stress may lead to immuno-suppression and make the orcas more susceptible to disease.â Saving Puget Sound orcas will require cleaning up toxic waste sites, stemming storm- water pollution and stopping global warming. The most critical step, however, is restoring salmon runs so orcas have enough to eat. âœThe Snake River basin once produced more than a third of all the chinook in the Columbia River basin,â Schroeder says. âœIf the federal government would take out the four outdated lower Snake River dams, it would go a long way toward recovering endangered Columbia River salmon and Puget Sound killer whales.â A...

Temat: Warnings about beach water quality in Hawaii
...beach should not turn into a night in the bathroom, or worse, in the hospital," Nancy Stoner, NRDC Clean Water Project director said in a statement. "There have been significant advances over the last two decades that we should be using to protect beachgoers, but the EPA is dragging its feet in implementing them." Improvements could include quicker testing methods that yield results in four hours instead of 24 hours -- as is done in Hawaii, said Joan Rose, a water pollution expert at Michigan State University. Rose also advocates targeted testing for disease-causing pathogens coming from sewage outfalls to know what risks are actually there. Hawaii and other states currently test for bacteria that indicate the possible presence of disease-causing agents, but does not test for the pathogens. Still, Rose praised the EPA and states for increasing beach monitoring in recent years. "I think it's a good...

Temat: Filozofia praw zwierząt według Toma Regana
...reason, impartiality, compassion, and justice. In all these ways (and more), nations remain profoundly backward because they fail to serve the true interests of their citizens. "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be measured by the way its animals are treated." -- Mahatma Gandhi 9. The philosophy of animal rights is environmentally wise Explanation: The major cause of environmental degradation, including the greenhouse effect, water pollution, and the loss both of arable land and top soil, for example, can be traced to the exploitation of animals. This same pattern exists throughout the broad range of environmental problems, from acid rain and ocean dumping of toxic wastes, to air pollution and the destruction of natural habitat. In all these cases, to act to protect the affected animals (who are, after all, the first to suffer and die from these environmental ills), is to act to...

...powietrzne np. Phyllostachys heteroclada. 10 m3 ścieków z chlewni jest całkowicie wchłaniane latem przez 5000 m2 lasu bambusowego. A practical project is in study for he treatment of 10mĂł/day effluents coming from a small pig breeding unit. After physical separation solid/liquids and after a secondary treatment, the final effluents will be spreaded on a 5000 mĂË bamboo forest aiming a zero emission during the summer period avoiding any risk of underground water pollution. http://www.bambooenterprise.com/pdf/Bamboo-Phytoremediation.pdf
