Hey, bugs!
Today I will talk about some environmental issues and propose my ideas to improve eco-situation in Ukraine!
Today I will talk about some environmental issues and propose my ideas to improve eco-situation in Ukraine!
First Video: As we all know, more than 2/3 of world energy comes
from fossil fuels, known as nuclear energy. But there are several ways to
minimize carbon footprint and one of that – usage of alternative forms of
energy. Wind power now is the major source which can lower the carbon energy
and in order to integrate wind power effectively, we should find compromise “where
to put wind farms?”, and the best solution to it – offshore wind farms. Another
amazing thing is to cut down on supply or demand for 5 most energy consuming
materials (paper, plastic, aluminium etc.). By doing so, we can use less energy
to produce them and reuse former ones, which still has a good value, like cement
in the old buildings. So, the main thing which should be implemented is a different
system so that to have the behaviour change and use renewable energy.
Second Video: It’s indeed important for people to respond in
eco-friendly way to the climate change and show their understanding of things.
Scientists search for more efficient ways to feed 10 billion people, or to
reduce food miles & carbon footprint, but what is also important – the level
of people’s acceptance, and that’s why psychology is at the same level as the groundbreaking
research. People will only approve that source of energy, which are safe,
reliable and efficient. Several researches are now conducted: “Sunshine”, which
is orientated to the better understanding of sun and photosynthesis and “Low
carbon supply chain”, which takes on the major role of developing the new ways
for enterprises to reorganise their supply chain so that to reduce emissions of
a carbon.
I propose a 3 step-idea that will help Ukrainian to better
understand the environment and biodiversity of the Earth, and at the same time
to consider the environmental impacts of global warming and other changing weather
patterns, while figuring out long-term solutions.
1. Raise awareness of absolutely vital part of human
kind’s life – environment, through additional courses, workshops, programs at
the schools and universities or even through social ads.
2. Introduce people to 3R (Reuse. Reduce. Recycle)
approach of waste disposal which can be easily implemented in every house.
3. Involve more youth into the ecology or other nature science,
where they can conduct various researches and experiments, which are environmentally
orientated.
So, if Ukraine doesn’t want to keep on standby and
make a difference, it must start with the people!
Smile!
