Waste to energy?

For many years we have been trying to solve the solid wastes problem in our country. But up to now, it is still a major problem that gradually destroys our environment and brings various health problems in the community. Solid waste segregation has been implemented already but it’s not the solution we need nowadays since most of these wastes don’t decompose easily, thus they just stay on landfills for many years. Just think about it, the longer these wastes stay on earth’s surface the more hazardous effects on our environment. If we don’t take action to this problem, even the future generation is at risk.


However, many green technologies are now being considered in order to solve this problem. The most talked about form of green technology is the biosphere gasification technology. With this technology waste to energy is really possible. It is a process of gasification wherein solid wastes are used to generate sustainable clean energy. With this technology, problems such as solid wastes and energy demand are both being addressed. Converting solid wastes into electricity? That is really something. Actually there are four by products of this technology, the pozzolanic ash, high alloy steel wire, carbon black, and green electricity. Unlike landfill, it does not pollute our environment. Its process is done in a limited-oxygen environment therefore also limits atmospheric emissions. 

Biosphere technology is the perfect solution if we aim for a zero waste community, not to mention the green electricity that it will generate for the public.

Importance of MRF – Material Recycling Facility

What is MRF? MRF or Material Recycling Facility also known as Material Recovery Facility integrates conveyors system which is used for material recovery or recycling. It has sorting machinery wherein it divides recyclables according to end marketable usage. Normally, there are two different types of MRF, the clean and dirty MRF’s. Significance of MRF As we know it, recycling is one method of conserving our natural environment. And MRF systems play an important role in doing the method of recycling in a large scale basis. As an essential component of innovative waste management system by means of recycling, MRF greatly helps in conserving the environment. It lessens the extraction of our natural resources thus creating a more sustainable way of manufacturing new products. Aside from that is decreases the amount of waste materials in our community thus prevents the spread of environmental contaminants that may also bring dangers in human health. MRF also offers high processin...

Benefits of Mangrove Planting

Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees that grow in tropical and subtropical seashores. These areas are hard-hitting places for plants to grow. Mangroves can thrive in salty water and survive in harsh conditions because of their strong roots that can filter the salinity of the sea and only consume the fresh water it needs. Aside from its ability to stand against the salty water of the sea, Mangrove is also well known to contribute to the overall health of the coastal area by providing food, shelter and environmental protection for marine organisms, nest dwellers and even humans living near seashores. This family of shrubs traps and rotates different elements, chemicals, and minerals. Their roots acts as block and provide environmental protection for some various marine organism such as fish and seashells. They also provide food for various marine species such as oyster, shrimp, tarpon, jack, and snook. Not only the marine organisms benefit in mangroves, but their branches also serve...

Water Pollution

Water as natural resources plays a very important role in our life and environment, for it is impossible to survive without water. It is very essential to life and source of life that needs to be protected for the inhabitants of this planet and for the future generation to come. Water nurtures and helps create life and it should not be overlooked. In order for us to use water, it must be cleaned first; removing any hazardous substances that might result to the contamination of water. One of the biggest environmental problems that every country faces today is the contamination of waters all over the world. Our environment is apparently facing water pollution. Primary causes of water pollution are industry waste, chemical usage, and vehicle emissions. Every year, many people die because of various diseases and illness that are developed from polluted water. One of these diseases for example is the spread of dengue in the Philippines that target and kills mostly children. People belie...
