Global Warming, Is it a Fact or Just a Fiction?

Some people who have studied global issues are doubtful about global warming. They frequently say there was no such thing as global warming and it is all a big hoax. However, others disagree and believe that since the industrial revolution, we are having a negative effect on our environment.

The best place to start is to look at what we have already been led to believe. The Greenhouse effect is the relationship between the earth and the sun. The sun provides the earth with the heat and energy it needs and the earth releases back that energy into space.

The greenhouse effect comes into play as the gases in the earth trap that energy so that it cannot be released back into space therefore, warming the earth’s environment. The greenhouse effect is a natural process and vital to our survival, without it, the earth would be cold.

Gases such as Methane, Carbon dioxide and water vapor all trap energy from the sun and enable the warming of the earth. It is commonly known that plants provide Carbon dioxide (C02), but not so commonly known that plants also remove carbon dioxide. This is because, when a plant dies and is buried into the earth, these plants become fossil fuel which is coal and oil. When coal and oil is burned, this then removes the carbon dioxide from the air around it.
Two hundred years ago, before machinery was invented and cars filled our streets, global warming wasn’t an issue.
The natural gases which came from the earth would trap energy to warm the earth, however, since the industrial revolution, more gases are being produced, which means more energy is trapped and result is global warming.
Activists and researches cannot agree as to whether or not humans are causing global warming, but I think we can all agree that when something unnatural occurs, it affects the natural.
If we are producing more gases than what is known as natural, then you would expect that this would have an effect on our environment, but whether or not this affect is causing global warming, well, we will have to leave that down to the scientists.

It is said that in the last century the earth has warmed by 1%, although this is not a massive amount, it still could be an unnatural 1% which would have an effect on the earth’s climate. The truth of the matter is, the earth works in a certain way that even the best scientists in the world cannot fathom it. We can never assume we know it all just as we cannot 100% rely on what we already believe we know as there could be many unknown factors that have not been taken into account.

It is natural to believe that we are having some kind of effect on our environment in comparison to 200 years ago, but is the cause of global warming? I guess we couldn’t say either way, but what we do know is that we need to keep it in mind and do what we can to help in environmental protection.

Ecological Waste Management Solutions

There is nothing worse than seeing garbage blowing down the street of your neighborhood, or finding broken shards of glass at the local swimming hole where children play. Wildlife is just as vulnerable to garbage and many have lost their lives after becoming tangled in waste or mistaking garbage for food. It is up to each of us to make an effort to minimize this unsightly, and sometimes hazardous, problem.

There are various ways from which we could help in upholding waste management system in our community. For instance carry plastic shopping bags on your walks to clean up litter that you find along the way. Often, people are rewarded for their efforts by the deposits returned from bottles and cans. Those who have noticed your efforts will begin taking up the same habit once they realize the impact it has.

Another is report any dumping you witness, whether it was done illegally or accidentally. Just get the license number and leave the rest to the officials. Also, report any site where garbage has been left by others. These problems can be reported to the local city, highway, public works or conservation office. Ask them to arrange for it to be cleaned up.

By doing these relatively small actions, we prevent contamination and injuries to people or wildlife in the area. When separating recyclable items, we keep a valuable resource out of the landfill. In addition, we maintain a pristine environment for citizens, tourists and wildlife to enjoy. We can all take pride knowing that by keeping garbage in its place, we are making the world just a little better for everyone.

Moreover, there is now an effective and ecological way of waste management. This is the Biosphere Technology or Biosphere Process System, a waste to energy system that uses gasification method. Through this technology waste materials are converted into green energy. We can help promote this kind of green technology to further strengthen environmental protection.

11 Ways towards Environmental Conservation

Nowadays, we can no longer hide the truth or sugarcoat the dreadful condition of our planet earth. At this time all we can do is to make collaborative efforts towards environmental protection. And it is extremely significant that every mankind, depending on his or her potential must adhere to this environmental advocacy. Below are simple things we can do for Mother Earth:

1. RECYCLE. Find a collecting center wherein you can bring all your recyclables.

2. CONSERVE WATER. It is wise to conserve water particularly this time of El Niño phenomenon which causing major rivers, dams and lakes to dry up.

3. BUY LOCAL FOOD. Support the local market at the same time you don’t have to travel and contribute to daily carbon emissions.

4. START BACKYARD COMPOSTING. It will not only lessen your solid wastes but it will be great for as organic fertilizer for growing your own plants and trees.

5. PLANT A TREE. One major reason of climate change is global deforestation. The solution is reforestation and by planting a tree or trees in your community you can contribute a lot.

6. PROMOTE GREEN ENERGY. Be the first to support green energy projects in your community. For example, support biosphere gasification technology that converts solid wastes into green electricity without harming the environment.

7. USE NATURAL CLEANING PRODUCTS. For your housekeeping, you can use natural cleaning products like vinegar, lemon and baking soda.

8. SAVE ELECTRICITY. Make sure you have turned off all lights and appliances at your home when not in use. If you are buying new appliances, choose the energy saving ones.

9. JOIN GO GREEN COMMUNITIES. Through your participation with go-green communities, you will be able to help create awareness about global warming and saving the environment.

10. GROW YOUR OWN FOOD. Plant your own crops to help in carbon reduction.
You can use recycled plastic containers instead of buying new pots.

11. RIDE A BUS. Instead of driving your own car, try to ride on a public transit. According to American Public Transportation Association, using public transit can save up to 1.4 billion gallon of gas annually, thus reducing a huge amount of carbon dioxide emissions.

Practical Approach to Environmental Protection

Nowadays, we can no longer hide the truth or sugarcoat the dreadful condition of our planet earth. At this time all we can do is to make collaborative efforts towards environmental protection. And it is extremely significant that every mankind, depending on his or her potential must adhere to this environmental advocacy.


Although it is not that easy to convert all people in becoming a tree hugger, one of the ways to convince them towards protecting the environment is to be a role model and make them understand how extremely important is the environment protection nowadays. Through creating awareness about the advantages of replenishing our nature and disadvantages of disrupting it would definitely make a difference. For example, planting trees can already provide a statement about purifying the air in order to help in mitigating global warming. Another is by keeping our surroundings clean and green. Improper garbage disposal is not only one of the major causes of health hazards but the number one source of pollutants.

Likewise, promoting environmental campaigns and green technologies can help in creating environmental awareness. Spectrum Blue Steel (SBSC) and True Green Energy Group (TGEG) are just right in promoting biosphere technology, a waste to energy system that eradicates waste materials in ecological manner.

Therefore, the practical approach towards protecting our environment is to create awareness through our environmental initiatives. This is a mission that would benefit our planet earth, a kindness to oneself and others and, in fact, to all living beings.
