Vegetarian Diet

This video shows the evidence of a person who chose to be vegetarian. In this video the woman talks about how it was at the beginning,in high school, the reaction of colleagues between the difference of the food. Then she talks about now, many years latter, she said that the vegetarian lifestyle allows her to have an active life. It shows that she's proud of the choice that she made.

Animals' Extinction

Isn’t just the weather that’s changing, the biodiversity is changing too. Because the weather changes and other factors some species are really close to became extinct.

Here are some animals which are in the list of the almost extinct species:
The Sumatran Tiger, Persian Leopard, Snow Leopard, Asiatic Lion, Lion, Eurasian Lynx, Clouded Leopard, chimpanzee, Japanese Macaque, Diana Monkey, Spider Monkey, Sumatran Orangutan, White-handed Gibbon, Golden Lion Tamarin, Ring-tailed Lemur, Red Ruffed Lemur, Black-and-White Ruffed Lemur, Koala, California Sea Lion, Harbor Seal, Okapi, Oryx, Forest Buffalo, Addax, Zebra, Angolan Giraffe, Camel, Toucan, Trumpeter Hornbill, Meerkat, Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Rhea, Grey Crowned Crane, Hippopotamus, African Elephant, etc

And this list will grow up more and more. Some people don’t put in their heads global warming is really affecting the planet, the animal, the plant, even us human being. But isn’t just global warming the one that killing this animal. The large quantities of trees we cut every day destroy animal’s habitat. That trees we just cut down was the home of squirrels, birds, little bugs and other microscopic organism. Now imagine one day, the quantity of trees cut down and the quantity of animals, now, don’t have their nest, the place where the hunt, where they protect themselves from other animals.

Deforestation really exists. Amazonas Forest nowadays is smaller than was 90 years ago. Humans every day cut down large quantities of trees to have land for vegetables. The biggest forest in our world, Earth’s lung, now has a size of a “kidney”, ironically.

The forest fires also contribute for the disappearing of animals habitat. Some of the forest fires are done on purpose. Pyromaniac like to see forest burning, but what they don’t remember, is what they do is destroying the lungs of Earth. They don’t remember that, they just want to satisfy their desire.

The solution for deforestation is create more and more national parks. The forest aren’t our properties, they belong to animals. The Pyromaniac should be, all of them, in nuts house or in prison. One thing humans can do to help animals’ extinction is clone them. Use our technology to do something useful to our planet.

Hybrid public transport

The public transport system of Nuremberg has become more "electric", and all this thanks to a diesel-electric hybrid bus developed by MAN and Volvo. The vehicle is equipped with Siemens technology in traction. The prototype, which also includes a system for recovering energy in braking, consumes 25% less fuel that an ordinary bus. The system consists of traction components that can be produced in series, which means that the production of the vehicle can be a reality by 2010.

In addition to a combustion engine, hybrid vehicles are also equipped with an electric motor that is used to start the vehicle. The electric motor also functions as a generator. When the vehicle is braking, the kinetic energy is not wasted, but converted to electricity and stored. This energy is later used to power the vehicle. The hybrid systems are ideal for city bus, because they often slowing and accelerating

Destination: Antarctica

This video I took from http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ talks about trips tourist do to Antarctica.

All I can say is, if global warming get worse this travels will be over, Antarctica will melting and the sea leves will rise.

Indonesia Lost Pearl

He can look like a gremlin, but in reality this little guy is a pygmy tarsier, that was recently rediscovered in forest of Indonesia.
This little carnivorous primate, with 2-ouce (57 grams) had not been seen alive since the 1920s. This is specie that scientist thought to be extinct, but in reality this little guy because the humans furtive hunt and the destruction of their habitat have been hidden.

In forested mountains slopes of Lore Lindu National Park in central Sulawesi was the place where this type of tarsier was really abundant. But since their habitat start to get destroyed they became “extinct”, that what we thought.
Pigmy Tarsier is like an Indonesian Pearl, specie that scientist thought extinct but in reality they’ve been hidden of us, they became precious. They have reason to do it; humans are the responsible for the destruction of their habitat, what they call their home.

Sharon Gursky-Doyen was the woman, which have took this picture (the picture above) of pygmy tarsier hopes Indonesian government will help protecting this specie and his habitat.

This is a prove our nature have a lot of surprises and unexpected things for us, but if we still destroy the forest, polluting all this things can just disappear in a second. So think when you use paper just to do one thing and then threw them. Think when you leave the lights on for no reason. Think about the thing you do which contributes to kill more and more our environment, our species, our treasures.
Just think ecologically.

Countries in extinction

Countries in extinction

The paradise islands of the South Pacific are disappearing. In a few years, some of them should be deserted: tired of frequent flooding, residents are leaving the island. Among the 12 nations of the region-archipelagos, two are in full alert. With the rise in sea level, the countries of Kiribati and Tuvalu could be swallowed by the sea, disappear of the map. The water invades the houses and cause erosion. When the tide rises, puddles of water suddenly arise. In some regions, is already digging water can reach only 1 meter deep. The government of the two countries have already prepared an emergency program to find accommodation for its 115 thousand residents, the first refugees of global warming.

The phenomenon is a dramatic evidence of global warming. With the temperature of the planet 0.7C higher in the last century, with the melting of polar ice increasing the sea level is rising. The effect is even more unsettling for those living in places like Tuvalu, the 4th smallest country in the world, where the peak is 5 meters in height and width of the island is just 500 meters. Tuvalu will slowly disappear over the next 40 or 50 years. The irony is that small nations like this contribute very little to the pollution and global warming.

Difference between Veganism and Vegetarianism

As we have been given on class, Veganism and Vegeterianism are lifestyles, but they are different in some points. Then i will show the differences between them.

A vegan person is someone who chooses to avoid using or consuming products from animals. The vegans avoid dairy and eggs, as well as fur, leather, wool, down, and chemical products tested on animals.
Veganism, is the natural extension of vegetarianism, is an absolute component of a free lifestyle. Living like a vegan provides more benefits to the life of animals, to the environment, and to our own health.



So, Vegetarianism is the practice of a diet that excludes meat and fish. There are very variants of the diet, some of which also exclude eggs and some products produced from animal like dairy products and honey.

Those who practice veganism for ethical reasons exclude animal products from their diet as part of a larger practice of abstaining from the use of animals for any purpose, often out of support for animal rights.

Most vegetarians consume dairy products, and many eat eggs.



Then, for conluding, we can say that veganism is a lifestyle variant from vegetarianism, but they're different.

What can we do?

Well, sometimes we ask ourselves: "What kinds of things can I do to protect the environment?"

The natural resources are very important today, the fossil fuels are widely used because they have more energy than the natural resources. But we've got to change our recources because fossil fuels are badly for environment. If we reduce our habits and costs of energy, this is more easy to do and better for the environment. So, we can do little things that can make the difference if we do them all together, if everyone collaborate. We're going to show little things that you can change in your daily routine but can help the word.

Actually these things are simple, and we can do this everyday easily. But the results will only be visible if all society cooperate.

"Borneo's Moment of Truth"

Video came from http://www.ngm.nationalgeographic.com/

"Photographer Mattias Klum takes you to Borneo's rainforest, and describes how we're in danger of consuming it to death."

Borneo Rainforest

Increasingly we see forests being destroyed around the world now is in Indonesia.
















The President of Indonesia announced its have plans to establish a 1.8 million hectare oil plantation in the rainforest of Borneo. The proposed plan, which was support by Chinese and Japanese investments, would have destroyed one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), some 361 species of animals have been discovered on the island in the past decade, including a mysterious fox-like creature spotted last year. This forest like more other´s forests as became destroyed by humans in search of natural resources.
