    President Obama quotes:

    "We are not acting as good stewards of God's Earth when our bottom

    line puts the size of our profits before the future of our planet."-- Oct. 14, 2007, in a speech at an interfaith forum on climate change

    "Businesses don't own the sky, the public does, and if we want them to

    stop polluting it, we have to put a price on all pollution. It's time to

    make the cleaner way of doing business the more profitable way of

    doing business."--Oct. 8, 2007, in an energy policy speech in Portsmouth, N.H.

    Non-renewable energy sources, do, as their name suggests, run out.Apart from their impact on global warming, they are finite. Based on the data we havetoday, we can predict the moment they are actually exhausted. Putting a date onthese energy sources underscores the world's need for true sustainable energysources.

    What will be the consequences if our growing energy needs are also met byfossil fuels?

    And yes, even the amount of cars we drive and depend on causes harmful effects.

    We can do our part by supporting new, cleaner technologies for cars to be Green

    just as we can use new cleaner technologies to be Green.Our dependence on motor vehicles doesnt have to be a bad thingIt can be a Clean,

    Green thing!

    Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) pollutes the air primarily as a result

    of road traffic. Similar to CO2, Nitrogen dioxide is produced

    by fossil fuel combustion processes.

    These maps show results of satellite measurements over

    Europe.

    They illustrate nitrogen dioxide as a large scale pollutant,

    with rural backgroundground level concentrations in

    some areas around 30 g/m.

    Long-term exposure toNO2 at concentrations of >= 40

    g/m will cause danger to people's health.

    The energy we use for electricity in the US alone is quitemonumental. How will we sustain this trend?We could easily use energy saving products and use

    energy sustainable resources, like the Sun, Wind, andeven Water.

    Solar Power

    Of all the energy sources in use today, solar energy possiblyhas the most potential for solving the world's long-termenergy problems. Solar energy is the cleanest form ofrenewable energy; producing zero carbon emissions, and

    provides over 35,000 times the total amount of energy thathumans use every day.

    Many applications exist for harnessing this energy for homeuse such as heating and cooling, lighting, and even completesolar home solutions. As the price of crude oil escalates, andthe demand for alternative energy sources increase,

    advancements in technology and government programs aremaking it easier and more affordable to install solar energyequipment in the home.

    Wind PowerAlthough wind power, like solar power, is the most abundant,pollution free, renewable energy source on the planet, itremains one of the most untapped by the private sector.Contrary to popular belief, you don't need a 400ft turbineoutside your home in order to harness wind power forpractical home use. Turbines are made in a variety of sizesto accommodate all types of home installation, and can evenbe used in urban settings.

    In parts of the country where it is feasible to use wind power,it is not uncommon for someone to reduce their electricitybill by 50 - 90 percent. In fact, during the windiest parts ofthe year, one could produce a surplus of electricity and sellthe excess back to the electric company!

    The price of electricity is no laughing matter either. Theprice goes up as we deplete the energy sources we use toprovide our electricity. Todays fuel sources are becoming ascarce commodity, so its value is high and will remain highin the future. It might be time to consider your wallet,

    consider your future, and consider your planet. Why not tryGoing Green?

    Going Green

    While caring for our planet is not a new concept, "goinggreen" has gained popularity due to the rising energy costsand national media focus on our nation's future energy planand the dangers of global warming.

    At Clean Future Solutions, we believe that "going green" isnot just a trend, but a responsibility shared by all to makeour planet a better and cleaner place to live.

    "Going green" covers a broad spectrum of environmentallyfriendly practices ranging from recycling to using cleanenergy alternatives, to carpooling, to planting trees. In fact,

  • 8/14/2019 Clean Future Solutions Now

    10/16

    it is possible to "go green" in almost every aspect of ourdaily lives (e.g. in the office, in the home, travel, eventplanning, computing, product manufacturing, and muchmore.)

    For a list of "going green" guides plus a host of enviro-friendly information and links, visit the Discovery Channel'senvironmental website, www.TreeHugger.com, and for thelatest in green products and renewable energy technology,and continue to visit our website on a regular basis.

    Global Warming

    Global warming refers to the incremental increase in the

    temperature of the Earths atmosphere closest to the surfacesince the inception of heavy industry in the mid 1900s.Many believe the steady escalation of the temperature isdirectly due to man-made greenhouse gases introduced intothe, air preventing some of the suns rays from escaping theatmosphere.

    There are those who are not convinced that direct humanactivity is the cause of this increase in the temperature, andcontend that the actual cause remains unproven. Others

    completely reject the notion that the Earths temperature istruly on a permanent rise; citing the fact that scientists onlystarted recording global temperatures in the mid 1800s andthus lack the data to accurately calculate Earths optimaltemperature.

    Needless to say, with the presence of such opposingtheories, global warming has become a very hot topic fordebate (no pun intended). At CleanFutureSolutions.com, we

    believe that no matter where you stand on global warming,we can all agree that conserving energy, reducing waste,having a clean environment, and removing harmful gasesfrom the air is beneficial to everyone.

    Carbon Footprint

    A great way to start "going green" is to become aware of your CarbonFootprint. Chances are you may have come across the term, but whatexactly is it? Well the concept is fairly simple: A carbon footprint is theamount of carbon dioxide you add to the atmosphere each year as a

    direct result of your actions and lifestyle.

    Everyone and everything that uses natural resources creates a carbonfootprint; and while it is virtually impossible to have a zero footprint,many businesses and individuals are taking steps to reduce the size oftheir footprint.

    There are quite a few ways available to reduce the size of your carbonfootprint, and they all begin with awareness. Most people andcompanies conduct their day-to-day activities with little to no conceptof how their actions impact the environment. That is not to say thatmost people dont care. It is likely they are just simply unaware.

    A carbon footprint is measured in metric tons of carbon dioxideemissions (CO2e), and activities such as heating and cooling yourhome, driving your car, and running electrical appliances all contributeto the size of your footprint. The more natural resources you use tocarry out these activities, the more carbon based emission you add tothe environment, and the bigger your carbon footprint.

    It is the incremental increase in CO2e over time that many believe has contributed to the

    steady rise in the earths surface temperature; a phenomenon commonly known as global

    warming.

    10 Important ways to save energy & fight globalwarming

    1. Use energy-efficient appliances, such as energy-savinglight bulbs

    2. Switch to an electricity provider that offers electricityderived from renewable sources.

    3. Ride a bicycle for distances under e.g. 10km. Considera bus or train for longer distances.

    4. Lower your thermostat by 4 to 5 degrees Celsiusduring the night and when nobody's home.

    5. Make sure your home is well insulated.

    6. Completely switch-off appliances that you do not use.

    7. Consider going to your holiday destination by bus ortrain, instead of car or airplane.

    8. If possible, work at home instead of an office location.

    9. Support forestation programs that focus on plantingindigenous trees in tropical regions.

    10. Educate others. Tell people of the importance of an

    energy-efficient lifestyle.

    This pie chart shows that renewable energy consumption made up 6

    percent of total U.S. energy consumption which was 97.6 quadrillionBtu in 2002. Hydroelectric energy provided 45 percent of renewableenergy consumption, while non-hydroelectric energy sourcescollectively provided the remaining 55 percent.
