The alarming truth about solar power

The world has been using solar power for about hundreds of years already. And today it is the most commonly talked form of renewable energy. Yes, it’s true that solar power is clean, sustainable and free. But do you know the alarming truth behind it? Solar energy is considered as clean energy since it does not produce any fossil fuel which destroys our environment however many environmentalists worry about the hazardous wastes from the process of making solar panels. Major amount of fossil fuels are being used just to make solar panels for one solar power. Another problem with these solar panels, their solar cells have toxic materials which cannot be recycled easily.


It seems that solar industry will soon create same problems we have with other industries. There should be an ingenious way of solving this. As what many environmentalists think, the government and solar industry need to set policies to ensure that the use of solar power does not leave waste in our environment.

The perfect alternative

Who doesn’t want to have a sustainable energy at the same time living in a zero waste community? Of course everyone dreams of this. We need unlimited source of green energy that does not pollute our environment but instead helps in saving it. The good thing is, there's a proven solution with this problem. Biosphere gasification technology is the answer, a perfect alternative for solar power. It’s a green technology that uses solid wastes to generate sustainable clean energy. Unlike other sources of energy, it does not pollute our environment, for it uses a limited-oxygen process that limits atmospheric emissions. Solid wastes wouldn’t be a problem too since all will be converted into clean energy.

This is the green technology for a cleaner and greener earth. Now think, consider, and make your choice.

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...

Save the Endangered Species of Davao

Davao Region or Southern Mindanao is located southeast of Mindanao. Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental, and Compostela Valley. The Davao Gulf is bounded by these regions. Davao City is its regional center. As it lies outside the typhoon belt, rainfall is evenly distributed though out the year. The area is shielded from the rough weather by Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines. This makes the fauna and flora of the region flourish, nurturing diverse and unique species. But pollution, deforestation, and excessive hunting left these species endangered. The most renowned endangered species of Davao is The Philippine Eagle . It is similarly called Haribon or monkey-eating eagle. Only found in the Philippine islands of Mindanao, Luzon, Leyte, and Samar, it is among the most endangered species of its kind in the world. Length-wise, it is the largest among its kind. Its broad-spanned wings ensure powerful flights. Due to its being rare and majestic features, private...

What Happened to Aquino's Green Agenda?

The recent climate issues that we have in the country created a huge impact in the environment. The government is now being questioned about its plans in the climate change mitigation and Adaptation Program. Anakpawis Partylist Rep. Rafael Mariano said that there is a budget for the program to which the public needs to know the short and long-term plans of the government for climate change. President Benigno Aquino III pronounced his commitment in February 2011 in the aspects of mitigating disasters in geo-hazard areas and to ensure sustainable development for climate change adaptation. The administration focused in illegal loggers which contributes a large impact in the calamities that we are experiencing. But the environmental groups believed that the legal loggers who have permits with DENR are the ones who create a huge damage in the country’s forest along with the mining activities that the government allowed in the country. Climate change is the effect of changes in the b...
