World prepares to save energy for an hour

Exercise 6 WHAT DO YOU DO TO SAVE THE WOLRD

Some articles and readings with exercise related with the natural disaster.

Millions of buildings around the globe will be dark for an hour on Saturday, March 28 as the third Earth Hour takes place. The event is organized by the World Wildlife Fund. It started in 2007 as a way of drawing attention to the dangers of climate change. The Earth Hour website says: “For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming.” Organizers hope their message will reach a billion people. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Earth Hour promises to be “the largest demonstration of public concern about climate change ever attempted”.

Not everyone agrees that Earth Hour will help. Many see it as being too little, too late and that not much will change when the lights are switched back on. Climate campaigner Clive Hamilton says: "We are well past the time for feel-good exercises aimed at raising awareness… It's like the band playing on as the Titanic sinks.” He says the event is risky because the next morning people will think the climate has recovered a little. "Symbolism is powerful if it leads to action, but dangerous if it substitutes for it," he says. Environmentalist Mark Alexander-Warne agrees. He stresses the need to reduce our daily energy consumption, rather than simply “sitting around in the dark” for an hour.

Burping cows and sheep harm the environment

Scientists are making cows and sheep scapegoats for a small part of global warming. There are new reports that methane gas produced from the animals burping and flatulence could be more hazardous to the environment than four-wheel-drive cars. Experts claim cows are responsible for about three per cent of Britain's greenhouse gases. Michael Abberton of the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research said the average cow or bull belches out about 100 to 200 litres of methane each day, a lot more damaging than the carbon emitted by gas guzzling cars. Methane emissions from cattle account for a quarter of the gas in our air. In Britain, cows and sheep are the biggest single source of methane - a gas that is 23 times more harmful than carbon dioxide when it comes to global warming.

The race is now on to reduce burping and farting in cows and sheep. If scientists can achieve this, it could help Britain reach its commitments under the Kyoto agreement. Researchers are trying to find a new way to feed cattle and sheep which leads to less gas being produced. The key seems to be in developing new types of food that are easier for farm animals to digest. Scientists in Wales believe putting garlic in their food could reduce the impact on global warming by cutting the amount of gas produced by up to 50 per cent. Project leader Professor Jamie Newbold said: "Garlic directly attacks the organisms in the gut that produce methane." He is conducting tests to see if the garlic gives the animals bad breath or, more specifically, if it lead to garlic flavoured milk and meat.

Human noise pollution a danger to sea life

Human-made noise pollution in the Earth’s oceans and seas is becoming a serious threat to marine wildlife. Scientists report that there is hardly an underwater place left where marine mammals can live in peace and quiet. Dozens of species of whale, dolphin, turtle and other creatures rely on sound to communicate, find mates and hunt for food. Their increasingly noisy environment is making it more and more difficult to lead a normal life. This is according to a report from the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), called "Ocean Noise: Turn it Down”. The environmental group says noise from shipping, military sonar, oil and gas surveys, offshore construction and marine sports has reached dangerous levels for sea life.

The IFAW says the distance over which blue whales can communicate is down by 90 per cent. It also reports that in the past decade, many whales have become beached after being disorientated because of loud noise. The group also warns that noise pollution is only going to get worse. It highlighted the use of seismic surveys as one example of the extent of the problem. These generate incredibly loud sounds every ten seconds that can travel 3,000 km. There are 90 survey ships active in the oceans today. In addition, the number of ships sailing the seas will double by 2025. Mark Simmonds, a conservation spokesman, said, "man-made noise is already triggering a kind of acoustic fog,” and called for a “response to noise pollution in the underwater world”.

Pink River Dolphin

Hayley has just spent three months on a floating House boat in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. “I was Part of an observation team doing research, and it was amazing!” she says. “Every year, we lose about 10% of theseclever creatures. They swim in polluted waters and sometimes get caught fishermen’s nets. There are more than 300 dolphins here and we had to record new births and monitor the babies. In the evenings, we sat onthe porch and listened to the sounds of the jungle. Then we went to sleep in hammocks! It was so relaxing!”

Cross River Gorilla

Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Mary has just come back from the Greek island of Zakynthos after helping with a turtle conversation Project there. She says “ Every summer, thousands of females lay their eggs in the sand on the beach. The problem is that tourists often damage their nests by accident.

They also leave garbage like plastic bags that the turtles mistake for food. Every day at dawn, our team did a survey of nets and eggs. It was tiring but we saw some spectacular sunrises!

During the day, we patrolled the beach and told tourist all about the turtles. I’ve already told my friends that I’m going back next year- and that they’re coming with me!”

Every we walked for miles up steep slopes in the rainforest. Our guide was a poacher in the past who hunted the gorillas for their meat! I was so excited when we saw our first gorilla. We recorded lots of information aboutits location and activities. We also talked to locals and suggestedalternatives to cutting down forests for farming.

The Earthwalker.

Paul Coleman, the Earthwalker, has walked thousands of miles to deliver his message: We must protect ourworld. He is a great example to others because he has walked through thirty-nine different nations on his quest to plant trees, raise awareness, and protect the Earth. This is how he has earned the name Earthwalker. Paul left school when he was only fifteen. He became concerned about the planet when he saw things like pollution, deforestation, and how the natural landscape has already been ruined in many countries. His adventure began in 19990 when he gave up his job in Canada to walk to South America. Since then, Paul has visited many places including the Amazon, China, and Zimbabwe, and he hasn’t looked back.

So far, Paul has planted 11,350, 000 trees on his travels but, he hasn’t finished yet. His mission is to plant the same number of trees (one-hundred million) as the number of

deaths that war has caused over the last hundred years, but he’s not alone. Paul and his wife, Konomi Kikuchi, whom he met in Japan, have inspired people of all ages and

backgrounds to plant trees all over the world.

Paul’s message is clear. If everyone does a small thing to help the planet, we can save our beautiful world.

Michael Jackson What about sunrise What about rain What about all the things That you said we were to gain... What about killing fields Is there a time What about all the things That you said were yours and mine Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we've shed before Did you ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

Chorus: Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh Aaaaaaaaaah Oooooooooh

What have we done to the world Look what we've done What about about all the peace That you pledge your only son... What about flowering fields Is there a time What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war Did you ever stop to notice This crying earth, these weeping shores?

Chorus

I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars

EARTH SONG

Now I don't know where we are Although I know we've drifted far

Chorus

Hey, what about yesterday (What about us) What about the seas (What about us) The heavens are falling down (What about us) I can't even breathe (What about us) What about the bleeding Earth (What about us) Can't we feel it's wounds (What about us) What about nature's worth (Oooh, oooh) It's our planet's womb (What about us) What about animals (What about it) We've turned kingdoms to dust (What about us) What about elephants (What about us) Have we lost thier trust (What about us) What about crying whales (What about us) We're ravaging the seas (What about us) What about forest trails (Oooh, oooh) Burnt despite our pleas (What about us) What about the holy land (What about it) Torn apart by creed (What about us) What about the common man (What about us) Can't we set him free

(What about us) What about children dying (What about us) Can't you hear them cry (What about us) Where did we go wrong (Oooh, oooh) Someone tell me why (What about us) What about babies (What about it) What about the days (What about us) What about all their joy (What about us) What about the man (What about us) What about the crying man (What about us) What about Abraham (What about us) What about death again (Oooh, oooh) Do we give a damn
