]]> Adopt a jaguar http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/adopt-a-jaguar.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/adopt-a-jaguar.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:55:40 -0500 The Amazon rainforest is home to around one-tenth of the world's flora and fauna, including 40,000 plant species and 1,300 types of bird. But deforestation, climate change and illegal capture are threatening the future of the rainforest and the animals and plants that live there.

Why sponsor a jaguar?

Jaguars are one of the many creatures threatened by the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. The jaguar population has fallen significantly in recent decades.

The largest cat of the Americas, the mighty jaguar was revered by the ancient civilisations of the Mayans and the Incas. But in modern times commercial hunting and trapping of jaguars has caused a big decline in their numbers. While many of these activities have thankfully been stopped through conservation efforts, jaguars are still killed by local farmers protecting their livestock.

Habitat loss is a big threat to the jaguar. The loss of rainforest areas cuts jaguars off from sources of food and makes it harder for them to find mates so they can breed.

By adopting a jaguar, you can help to conserve its Amazon rainforest habitat and secure its future.

Other rainforest animals:

The jaguar isn't the only animal to suffer because of deforestation in the Amazon. Many, like the black spider monkey, find it particularly difficult to live in disturbed habitats, so continuing deforestation threatens their survival. Even species that have inhabited the Earth for millions of years, such as the South American river turtle, are at risk from changes in their habitat.

Jaguars are also not the only species to be targeted by poachers. Many exotic species are captured and traded as pets, often illegally. Brightly coloured birds such as macaws are particularly favoured by collectors.

The Amazon and climate change:

Climate change is another threat to the species of the Amazon. The Amazon's tropical forests and rivers are teeming with fascinating species whose future could be in doubt because of temperature rises in the Amazon basin.

Rainforest conservation is an essential part of tackling climate change as deforestation is one of the major causes of greenhouse gas emissions. Helping to preserve the Amazon by adopting an animal or sponsoring an acre of rainforest is one way you can help.

Find out more about how you can help preserve the Amazon rainforest and its amazing wildlife by adopting a jaguar.

]]> The Amazon rainforest: globally important http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/the-amazon-rainforest-globally-important.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/the-amazon-rainforest-globally-important.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:17:53 -0500 The Amazon rainforest spans 6.74 million sq. km taking in Brazil, Peru, Columbia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, Ecuador, and French Guiana. It is the world’s largest and most spectacular rainforest, representing over 40% of the world’s remaining tropical forests.

But despite the Amazon’s clearly vast expanse, human activity, including logging, agricultural expansion and infrastructure development, has destroyed a significant amount of forest since the 1960s. Humans have lived in the Amazon for thousands of years but the forest remained largely in tact until about 50 years ago.

Deforestation has been a rising problem for the past five decades or so and it’s estimated that around a fifth of the original forest is already gone. So why is this an issue and why should people living on the other side of the world care?

Well, first of all, the world’s rainforests are absolutely vital in slowing global warming as they absorb and store carbon dioxide. But once a tree is cut down and burnt or left to rot, the stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. This means the trees that once helped reduce greenhouse gases now contribute to global warming instead. Deforestation is today responsible for around 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, the rainforests are called rainforests for a reason. They play a vital part in regulating the climate by pumping large amounts of water vapour into the atmosphere and driving the regional water cycle. The Amazon acts like a global thermostat, cooling the air and generating rainfall, which is important for agriculture across South America.

The Amazon rainforest is also home to around 30 million people, including indigenous tribes who have depended on the forest for many generations. The Amazon is a vital source of food, shelter and livelihoods. Its destruction threatens access to these important resources as well as traditional ways of life.

However, deforestation in the Amazon isn’t just a risk to the future of humans. The rainforest is home to as much as one tenth of the Earth’s known species of plants and animals. Many of these can only be found in the Amazon and it is believed that thousands of species have yet to be discovered by science.

The rainforest is also a source of products that we value here in the UK, like cocoa, nuts, fruit and timber – not to mention the hundreds of plants that are used to treat illnesses, including cancer and heart problems Whilst all this seems pretty grim on the surface, the good news is that it really isn’t too late to make a difference. Thanks to high-tech satellite monitoring and both national and international initiatives to deter destructive activity such as illegal logging, recent reports indicate that deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is starting to slow,

That’s not to say we can afford sit back and watch. Unfortunately, a lot of the things we do here in the UK, such as the things we buy, the food we eat and the energy we use, are having a negative effect on the Amazon. By making changes, both small and large, in the way we live and by supporting initiatives to help protect rainforests, we can help put a stop to its destruction. The Amazon and all the other rainforests of the world are essential to people and species across the planet and it’s everyone’s duty to look after them.

]]> How to Reduce Disease Bacteria in Lakes and Ponds http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/how-to-reduce-disease-bacteria-in-lakes-and-ponds.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/how-to-reduce-disease-bacteria-in-lakes-and-ponds.html Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:05:48 -0500 Even lake and pond water that looks clear and clean may harbor disease-carrying bacteria. There are millions of types of bacteria but only a few of these are harmful to humans. Harmful bacteria from animal feces or human sewage can wash into watersheds after rainfall and can quickly contaminate a lake or pond. Other contaminant sources include infected swimmers, sewage discharge from boats, and malfunctioning septic systems.

Bacteria can infect people if they are swallowed, inhaled, or come in contact with an open wound. Infections from pond or lake bacteria can affect ears, eyes, brains, skin, bowels, throats and lungs. One way to evaluate water quality is to measure "indicator" organisms and then estimate the amount of fecal contamination in the water. Fecal coliforms such as E. coli and enterococci are indicator organisms that can measure the amount of fecal bacteria contamination. Other dangerous bacteria like Vibrio cholerae that is responsible for cholera outbreaks can also be present in pond and lake water.

Even deadlier bacteria such as Naegleria fowleri, a brain-eating amoeba incubates in the nutrients found in the mucky organic sediment at the bottoms of ponds and lakes. When the muck is stirred up, the Naegleria fowleri float in the lake water. If it swims up a swimmers nose, it then burrows into the brain and eats it within a week.

One way to reduce disease bacteria in lakes and ponds is to remove the sediment and muck at the bottom where bacteria thrive. One way to do this is to dredge the pond or lake, but this doesn’t prevent the muck from returning, and it also can be very costly. Another way is to add microbes that eat bacteria to the pond or lake. Microbial bioaugmentation is perhaps the fastest way of addressing high levels of fecal bacteria in lakes and ponds. But again, it does not provide a permanent solution.

The only sustainable solution to reducing disease bacteria in ponds and lakes is to mimic and accelerate the natural process of oxygenating the bottom to rid the bottom of toxic gases and eventually the bottom sediment. By adding an aeration system to the pond or lake, beneficial bacteria can live and feed on the bottom muck. During the oxygenation process, muck is biodegraded into carbon dioxide, water and a very small amount of inert “ash”. The muck and organic sediment at the bottom begins to disappear, and disease bacteria have no place to incubate. Adding beneficial muck-eating bacteria at the same time as the aeration system is installed can accelerate this process.

With the organic sediment gone from the bottom, anaerobic disease bacteria cannot thrive and the pond or lake becomes safe again for swimming.

]]> Choosing the Right VCI Paper for Shipment of Your Metal Parts http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/choosing-the-right-vci-paper-for-shipment-of-your-metal-parts.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/choosing-the-right-vci-paper-for-shipment-of-your-metal-parts.html Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:24:29 -0500 Choosing the Right VCI Paper for Shipment of Your Metal Parts

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) paper or film when wrapped around iron, steel, or cast iron parts provides excellent short-term rust protection and is especially useful when shipping these metal parts. Many companies that ship metal parts rely on VCI paper. These companies include foundries, machine shops, and manufacturers of gears, bearings, firearms, stampings, and heavy equipment.They have found that using VCI paper during storage and shipping eliminates rust.

VCI paper is coated with rust inhibiting chemicals. These chemicals vaporize into the air around the metal parts protecting them from rust and corrosion. VCI paper used in shipping metal parts eradicates the need for airtight packages.

Look for environmentally safe VCI paper approved by the US military.

With all those chemicals vaporizing, is VCI paper healthy for the environment? Not all VCI papers are alike in this respect.When purchasing rust inhibiting VCI paper, make sure to enquire whether the papers are environmentally safe, fully recyclable and repulpable, biodegradable and non-toxic. Some VCI Papers contain nitrites or heavy metals, and can harm the environment. In addition, not all VCI papers are approved on the prestigious Qualified Product List (QPL) for Military specification MIL-PRF-3420, an approval that dates back to 1983. When choosing VCI paper, it is important to check to ensure that the paper is approved on this list.

Choose the Right Paper for your Metal.

Different types of VCI papers are specifically manufactured to provide the best rust protection for each particular metal. There are VCI papers designed specifically for different types of metals, and for length of time to be protected.There are huge differences in metal composition and one VCI paper does not meet all metal protection needs for every metal. You can use a rust inhibitor paper or an anti rust paper. A knowledgeable sales person can tell you exactly how much VCI is contained in each paper type, and which will keep your products corrosion free for years.

For instance, VCI Paper for ferrous metals is designed to protect steel parts and wires, die casting, springs, bearings, and stampings.VCI Paper for non-ferrous metals is designed to protect non-ferrous metals. VCI multi-metal papers prevent corrosion on non-ferrous metals and multi-metal products like zinc, aluminum alloys, copper alloys and dissimilar metal components such as circuit boards.

Choose a VCI Paper Coated on Both Sides.

Make sure the VCI papers you purchase are impregnated with VCI on both sides. This avoids confusion about which side to place against the part when packing, as well as the ability to interleave the paper within a pallet of parts so that less paper is required in the packaging. ]]> Build Your Own Solar Panels http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/build-your-own-solar-panels.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/build-your-own-solar-panels.html Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:21:06 -0500 Hundreds of green enthusiasts are trying to estimate what an estimate would be for installing a set of solar panels. This guidebook is made to aid you in selecting which style of solar panels you require for your installation, whether homemade or commercially manufactured.

Make Your Own Solar Panels or Commercially Built Retail Solar Panels?


There are a large array of expenses associated with installing solar panels that can be escalated or decreased based on on the amount of your involvement with the process of installation. The most expensive type involves buying full retail for solar panels and their installment. The cheapest type includes build your own solar panels and installing on your own. This guide will assist you in selecting the best style for you.

Understanding Kilowatts and Kilowatt Hours


Kilowatt hours, also written as kW h, is the volume of energy which is used by an average American house every month (one kW h). There are seven hundred and forty-four hours in a thirty-one day month. Assuming one hour of power coming from the grid might be twenty cents, then every month the average household uses $148 dollars in energy. There can be many factors that may alter your monthly electric bill, average watt cost or amount of power use levels will differ from every household. Understanding your watt use will allow you figure the amount of kW your planned solar panel system will be required to generate.

Installation by Retail Shop Employee and Commercially Obtained Solar Panels


At the expensive end of the spectrum are solar panels which are purchased from a retail store and installed through one of their professionals. This way can cost tens of thousands, depending on how much power your house requires. If professional installation is the system you want to use, you want to give attention to the cost for each watt when considering in the cost of installation.

Many experts find that the cost of professionally installed solar panels can cost on average $7 to $9 per watt. That means a system that is rated at 4 kW can cost nearly $28,000 to $36,000.

How much power can you expect from a 4 kilowatt solar panel system?


This question is a little complex. The answer involves variable information like:

  • How much does the sun shine at your residence and how often is it cloudy?
  • At what angle are you installing the solar panels at for how many hours per day do they get sun?
  • How far does the sun filter through the atmosphere based on your longitude?


Calculating these considerations is too complicated to tackle in this guide, but here is an estimate using a California, San Francisco Bay house. A typical home in that area will receive two thousand kW h each year with a 1 kilowatt solar panel system. A usual home in the Bay Area will consume eight thousand kilowatt hours each year. For a house here, on average four kW generation is sufficient to account for all power consumption. You can find many solar power calculators by searching for "solar power calculators" on google, that will allow you to discover the power you can expect from solar panels at your home.

How long does it take for a solar panel installation to provide a return on investment?


Assuming a professional commercial installation, again using the four kilowatt hour example detailed above, a professional installation can total $28,000 to $36,000 dollars. If you receive less sunshine than California, this would cost more. This is not a national average of the price of kW h, but let us assume that power from your grid averages $0.20 per kilowatt hour (within California). Eight thousand kW h each year equals one thousand two hundred. This places the pay-off date beyond twenty years. Many professional installers have discounts that, when added to tax breaks and government subsidies, can sometimes reduce this figure to fifteen years. This is still far too much for most consumers to invest in solar panels.
An excellent alternative for reducing the total of cost needed for a solar installation is to build your own solar panels. There is a do-it-yourself kit that explains how to build your own solar panels. Doing it yourself is a great method to lessen the cost of a solar panel system to put it in your price range. Here is a review of one DIY kit.

DIY Solar Panel System


The truth is you do not need to be a carpenter, anyone can make solar panels using a good manual, with photos and diagrams. Anyone can build their own solar panels with comprehensive instructional videos, saving the cost of your installation by tens of thousands of dollars. What is required are excellent instructions that can take you through the process step-by-step using many ways of teaching, like an informative training guide and instructional videos. A DIY solar panel system can lower your expenses on a solar panel installation from $7 to $9 dollars per watt to less than one dollar. Use this manual to buy low cost minimally dented or otherwise blemished solar cells, (photovoltaic cells or PV cells) which are as good as brand new solar cells and noticeably less cost. Almost all of the remaining materials can be obtained at your hardware shop. Following are the items you receive using this solar panel kit:

  • Construct inexpensive solar panels. Save thousands of dollars over retail and do it yourself for lower than $100!

]]> Save Fuel With Vent Less Gas Heaters http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/save-fuel-with-vent-less-gas-heaters.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/save-fuel-with-vent-less-gas-heaters.html Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:53:23 -0500 While there are many different kinds of gas heaters in the market today, the vent less kind have become very popular of late. This is predominantly because of the very high fuel efficiency that they offer as compared to other kinds of heaters. As their name suggests, they do not have any vents and therefore do not take in or emit any air and emission respectively. They are available in three basic models which include:

Wall Mounted: These gas heaters are ideally meant for large walls and should not be moved around. They offer advantages that include space saving as well as great heat distribution.

Freestanding: As the name suggests, these are typically mobile units which can be moved around as and when required. The only drawback is that they take up unnecessary space and may be a safety hazard for small children.

The third is the display variety which has many sub models that appeal to different user requirements and needs.

Advantages And Disadvantages

There are many advantages of vent less gas heaters. They provide up to 99.9 percent fuel efficiency which places them at the top as far as running costs go. The fact that they use little fuel and give out no emissions also makes them a favorite with environment conservationists. Unfortunately, they need to be used with care without which they may not work so well. For example, not ensuring enough ventilation in a room or fixing a powerful gas heater in too small a room can lead to asphyxiation. There is also a misconception regarding the carbon monoxide emissions by these heaters. The truth is that all combustion will produce some carbon monoxide and the level produced by a gas heater is far lower than a conventional fireplace. It is however important to ensure that there is sufficient airflow in the room where any heating device is installed.

One real disadvantage of these ventless heaters is the increased humidity levels which too can be counteracted with proper air ventilation. It is however important to remember that gas heaters though cheaper and easy to run, require a great deal of care and maintenance to work effectively. There are some models that can be serviced at home but many others require to be taken to the factory or workshop for all servicing needs.

The kind of gas heaters that you invest in should depend on the exact need you have for them. Heating for a baby's room requires a different heating device than heating for a garage. The best way to decide the power and kind of heater you need is to call in an expert. They will not only be able to advice on the best heater for your requirement but also the best price and place to source it from. It is important to ensure that you sign a maintenance contract for the heater that you buy to cut down on long term servicing and other repair expenses.

 

]]> Do Not Add Chemicals To Your Pond: How To Remove Pond Weeds and Prevent Weed Growth Naturally http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/do-not-add-chemicals-to-your-pond-how-to-remove-pond-weeds-and-prevent-weed-growth-naturally.html http://www.theegarage.com/science/environment/do-not-add-chemicals-to-your-pond-how-to-remove-pond-weeds-and-prevent-weed-growth-naturally.html Mon, 12 Jul 2010 00:05:20 -0500 Before you dump chemicals into your pond to combat pond weeds, read the following information.There are alternatives to chemical pond weed removal. We advise against using chemicals in ponds, rivers, lakes, and other small bodies of water because they ruin water quality.As pond weeds die and rot, they release chemicals they’ve taken in, the same ones you’ve added to the water. Additionally, these rotting plants consume oxygen and increase the amount of organic sediment on the bottom of the pond. Anaerobic bacteria thrive on pond bottoms, as this environment has very little or low levels of O2.These naturally occurring bacteria digest organic sediments and dead pond weeds, but then release toxic gases into the water that can kill beneficial insects and aerobic bacteria. Your fish and wildlife may then die as a result of this oxygen depletion.Adding chemicals to your pond may kill pond weeds, but they’ll do nothing to remove any muck, fertilizer, or debris that accumulate in your pond over time, nor do they improve the health of your fish, quality of water, or reduce pond odor.Chemicals are no long-term solution.

New housing developments are partially responsible for the amount of nutrient runoff into streams,lakes, and ponds.Fertilizer, soil, and waste sediments wash into watersheds and cause pond weeds, algal blooms, lack of pond oxygen, high water temperatures, bad smelling pond odors, and dead fish and wildlife.

To combat pond weeds, we recommend an aeration system.In any natural pond ecosystem, you’ll find pond aeration, but a pond aeration system adds more O2 to an oxygen depleted environment.Pond aeration is the process of adding more oxygen to a pond to improve water quality, which fish and other aquatic animals require to thrive.Aerobic bacteria also thrive off of oxygen, and can help eliminate pollution and contribute towards a sustainable ecosystem. Once aerators and diffuser equipment is added to a pond, oxygen dissolves into the ecosystem and water quality quickly improves, allowing O2 thriving aerobic bacteria to naturally decompose organic matter, such as pond weeds and other plant life.

Using a natural system to reduce pond weeds contributes to a healthier pond ecosystem, as it’s based on the natural principle that ponds are self-cleaning and can restore themselves using their own natural processes.Normally, ponds keep themselves clean and free of excess pond weeds because they contain eco systems, with food chains of organisms that absorb excess nutrients.Runoff from the surrounding area can overwhelm this delicate ecosystem balance and cause an overgrowth of algae and pond weeds.Aeration only helps those natural water restoration processes along, duplicating and accelerating them to keep up with the increasing amount of today’s pollutants.Learn more about how to reduce pond weeds, prevent sediment build up, and improve the health of your pond with aeration. ]]>
