What’s under our feet? The Earth’s structure is a bit like an egg. Did you know?

The Earth's structure is a bit like an egg. Did you know? To be clear in our explanation of what cause "Climate Change" and what it's have to do with us, we need to start with the real beginning: Planet Earth. Everything happen there and to grasp what is our challenge we need to know exactly what we are talking about. Physical life start and finish here. "In the very beginning of earth's history, this planet was a giant, red hot, roiling, boiling sea of molten rock - a magma ocean. Read more [...]

Humans Change the World ! “Climate Change” What does it mean to me? What is it caused by?

The Industrial Revolution brought us Climate Change. After the Industrial Revolution we became a society of “instant gratification”. The industrial revolution made our life very easy and at the same time is destroying our planet. From the mining for commodities like: minerals, metals and rocks, let's not forget all the underground nuclear explosions and the pumping of oil, our planet is looking more and more like “Swiss Cheese” and now it is letting us know through: earthquakes, volcanoes and the increase of Co2. The time to change is here and now! The Industrial Revolution was a process of change from an agrarian, handicraft economy to one dominated by industry and machine manufacturing. It began in England in the 18th century... Read more [...]

Humans Change The World! How Many Species We Are Losing?

What took 4 billion years to evolve is vanishing in the blink of an eye. "For millions of years all humans, early and modern alike, had to find their own food. They spent a large part of each day gathering plants and hunting or scavenging animals. Then, within just the past 12,000 years, our species, Homo sapiens, made the transition to producing food and changing our surroundings. We have been so successful that we have inadvertently created a turning point in the history of life on Earth", says the Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins Program. Here are some examples of Biodiversity state of being that GreenDustries chose to talk to you about. There are 4 different forms of life and we want to explain their places in the Ecosystem, in our lives: the Mammals, the Plants, the Birds and Reptiles. The United Nations General Assembly aims to engage people all around the world in protecting life on Earth. Biodiversity is not just about plants, animals and insects, it is about life - it underpins our survival on this planet, the importance of biodiversity for our health, wealth... Read more [...]

So what is Climate Change?

So what is Climate Change? Do you think the world's climate scientist are lying about the data? What is more powerful than the sun, volcanoes, and all other things in nature and we are officially to "blame" for the world's climate change. Question - which change is it?
You may recall that in the 1970s that science was suggesting we prepare for another ice age.
So should I pack a swim suit or a parka? Point is, climate change is not that simple. The fact is that the Earth is getting warmer. There's a lot of information floating around about climate change. Most people know it has something to do with the "Industrial Revolution". Pollution, changing weather and car exhaust, climate change occurs when long-term weather patterns are altered for example, through human activity. Global warming is one measure of climate change, and is a rise in the average global temperature. We can decide to do nothing about this issue now, but we'll just pay for it later. Food prices will continue to rise and water will continue to become increasingly scarce leading to even more... Read more [...]

The Psychology of Climate Change Denial.

GreenDustries and The Psychology of Climate Change Denial. Copenhagen missed the boat as the climate crisis has many factors not recognized by the Copenhagen attendees. The Crisis has a number of factors beyond controlling the emissions from cars and power plants and reports several years ago indicated needing more than just control of emissions. First the heat energy being given off from using trapped energy in fossil and nuclear fuels keeps adding to the heat energy overload regardless of clean actions. This was pointed out by Dr. E. Chaisson of Tufts in a paper titled “Long-Term Global heating from Energy Usage” in EOS, Trans. Amer. Geophys. union, Vol. 89, No. 28, pgs. 253-4(2008). This says that we have to get to renewable energy as fast as possible and should stop wasting time and money on all programs for nuclear or fossil fuel use... Read more [...]

Green Industries or Global Warming

We at GreenDustries think that we should do all we can to take care of our environment. We have only one planet "Earth", the Blue Planet, the only one known to sustain life in all the cosmos. All the missions that NASA launches to try to find another planet with the possibility to welcome the human race did not succeed until today no matter how many billions of dollars were invested in the process. And frankly we can do better. Read more [...]

Why care about water?

Why care about water? We at GreenDustries believe first and foremost that conservation must benefit people. Without a doubt, our planet’s ecological health is inextricably linked to human well-being. We depend on Earth for our sustenance, our livelihoods and our very survival. What we take from it must be taken responsibly so that it will continue to be available to us. We must balance the needs of the environment with the needs of humanity. This is what conservation is all about. Read more [...]

The Industrial Revolution

Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution came at a great cost to our planet. We are now beginning to see nature with new and open eyes. At the start of the 3rd millennium we stand on the brink of a new revolution, one where Nature and Technology stand Hand in Hand. All the new Sciences and new Technologies looks to nature for inspiration and are finding answers to our modern problems in totally new and unexpected ways. Read more [...]
