BIO(TI)FUEL

Big step for the entire world...



New energy sources are finally existing ! 
It's in Spain that this treasure was found/realized thanks to algae and a process transforming significant quantities of CO2 into bio-crude oil by the company Bio Fuel Systems (BFS). It's the result of "an engineering idea followed by a research project developped over 3 years by a team of engineers and scientists in colaboration with the universities of Alicante and Valencia."

This process is an accelerated conversion of CO2 into energy through solar energy, photosynthesis, the eletromagnetic field and a powerful catalisation process. It realizes in a few hours what nature took millions of years to produce. 



It is a huge advance into the field of renewable energies because most of them usually have to cope with two problems: low power density and intermittence.
Some of us can even call it a revolution because it's reducing CO2 emissions (by saving what we produce), and achieving for every cubic meter of water the energy equivalent of one million cubic meter of sea water. Which means more respectful techniques regarding the environment: less CO2 emissions therefore less greenhouse effect therefore less global climate change and more stability, more protection of nature, particularly oceans and their animals because of less and less looking-for-fuel actions (e.g. the Arctic Ocean and polar bears).


Yes, J.R. Ewing can go back where he came from, his business is outdated. 

To learn more about this long-lasting, respectful and easy-to-produce process: this is the BFS website.

ELLIOT FOR WATER



Today I'm introducing an original and oh-so-useful concept...

ELLIOT FOR WATER


Elliot For Water is "the first search engine that gives the possibility to its users to help the people in need of drinkable water". 
Its aim is clearly to make our web wanderings/researches U S E F U L.
When I heard about this project I instantly thought "Oh my god, why nobody did it earlier, that's fucking awesome !!". And I installed it on my computer.

We're living in such a way we forget that what we drink, what allows us to cook, to shower/wash our hands/teeth, to pee (and more), to laundry and so on, is something precious and invaluable.

Every year 2,6 million people die because they do not have access to clean water, which is more than 7 thousand people everyday. Half of these victims are less than 15 years old. 
They all die because of water-related diseases.
A study made by "Solidarités International" NGO states that 3,5 billion people drink unsafe water everyday and 1 billion people do not have any toilet. Around 272 million days of school per year are missed (especially by young girls having periods) because of the lack of infrastructures allowing them to go to the bathroom, and it seriously impacts on their education.


In our daily life we tend to forget all the issues that result from unsafe water and lack of water infrastructures, but it goes from health to education.
That's why Elliot For Water is here. To remind us that we can act, even just from behind our screen when we are surfing the Internet.


"Elliot For Water donates 70% of its profits to buy Solwa Technologies*, solar energy based products that purify dirty or polluted water through desalination, the irrigation of arid grounds, and the dehydration of food. [They] will also take care of the primary necessities of the villages in which this technology will be implemented."

To learn more about this wonderful search engine, help it to grow and start saving lives, let's go to their page, and install it.
It's one thing to realize our planet and people living on it are in trouble, It's another to act consciously and sustainably for it.

Elliot For Water is therefore a great opportunity for everyone of us. Let's start acting !
