Question

Do you concern yourself much with the issue of global warming?

YES...

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and are completely self sufficient”

The house is built utilizing natures natural elements, in the shape of an octagon with 8ft wide arch doors on every wall to catch every angle of wind (typical 4 sided homes have half the chance as one with 8 sides. A circle being the most efficient design). Woodburning stoves, solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet.

We also built many green small cabins on the ranch that we offer to family, friends and our on-site off-grid workshop guests, including one straw bale, one papercrete, earth bag and adobe, one cob and cordwood, one underground and rammed earth, one log and post and beam and one rock. Each one actually started as a test for what the main house would be and were later finished and turned into guest cabins. I later wrote a guide on how to build with alternative materials using alternative methods for next to nothing.

We raise meat and milk goats, chickens for meat and eggs, ducks for meat and eggs, trap havilina (wild boar pig), rabbit, quail. brew our own beer from home grown products, preserve our fruits, vegetables, etc. smoke and jerky the meat, make our own soap, cheese.

There are no utility lines, no water lines, no roads, tv, cell service, etc. on our ranch. EVERYTHING needed is produced here. All electricity comes from 27 solar panels, 2 main wind gens and a back hydrogen generator if needed (typically we can last 9 days with all luxuries of sunless windless weather, hasn't happened yet). Water is caught and storaged from the rain. Hot water is made with solar batch water heaters with an on-demand hydrogen hot water heater as backup. solar chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric vehicle) and satellite internet. Even our vehicles use alternative energy (2 hydrogen trucks, 1 EV electric vehicle converted). Because of this we have no bills, no debt and no mortgage.

I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

my home has all the comforts listed above plus some. we live very comfortable without effecting the environment. just saying that tol et you know it's possible. you may not want to go as extreme as me and my family but anywhere in between is something.

Without getting to in depth here, Using alternative fuels in your vehicles and harnessing your own electricity from the sun, water, earth and wind are the 2 are key elements in making a green transition and erasing your carbon footprint.

here's a calculator to find out how much of a green impact your making (carbon footprint)

if you'd like to make your next step feel free to contact me personally at www agua-luna com

I've been installing home made Solar panels. Solar stoves, Solar batch and inline hot water heaters. Solar radiant heating. Solar home heating and AC, along with home made wind gens and other alternative energy items for the last 3 years.

You can even make the above projects on site with simple parts from the local hardware stores or auto stores or junk yards. For more info check out some guides I wrote / compiled on how to DIY www agua-luna com

Again these projects can be accomplished anywhere by anyone.

if you absolutely can't do anything in your home at least you can put alternative fuels in your car. most major automotive manufacturers (Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors, etc) recommend the use of bio fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

In fact your probably even driving an ethanol car and didn't even know it.

The trick is finding fuel.

I've been producing biofuel for about 3 years now, it's not extremely difficult. Basically you need general household ingredients, a processor (or still for ethanol) and some used oil. Blend it, let separate, screen and use. I complied a guide a while back to help walk you threw the process step by step, just email me or check out..

as for recyling the best way i've found without taking money from your won pocket is to join a free freecycle group in your area or visit the habitat for humanity.

If you’d like help in making your self sufficient steps, feel free to contact me directly. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com

on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others “help the environment”.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 2

global warming has been canceled. it's been replaced by climate change, which covers them either way. we are now actually in a global cooling phase, with some of the coldest temps ever being recorded.

Answer 3

Yes i do. I turn of all lights when they are not being used. Everyone at my house always leave them on..

When go away i turn of the switch at the power point. I recycle everything i can and use water from the shower to water the garden, and also try to have a short 4 minute shower.

Answer 4

GW is so complex that no one seems to understand it. There have been models made but they failed. The atmosphere is very large and dynamic. But the pollution is just waiting for us to come get it because it form clouds like water does. If we clean up the atmosphere and introduce new ozone, we can control earth's surface temperature-at least this is as good of idea as all the models I have seen.

Answer 5

No! it reminds me of panic concern, about something out of our control, the eruption of one volcano, does more than the feeble efforts of man to damage. The earth is moving,changing, constantly,there are deserts where there once were green plains and forrests, and some day, some of the deserts will bloom into seed and wildlife,not now found in deserts. None of us were around the last completed cycle loop, and won't be here for the next, so do the best you can with optimism into your near and distant future.

Answer 6

First of all, global warming and climate change are the same thing. Climate change just doesnt sound as bad as global warming, so they changed the name. We SHOULD be concerned with it for the sake of the next generation of our kids, I dont think its fair that they have to suffer from our mistakes and then not fixing them. But really, as a 14-year-old, there isnt much I CAN do. Which really isnt fair, again, because it will be me who will be around to witness the damage, not the government. And because it isnt right there in front of them, they just keep putting it off.

Another problem is all the people who dont believe in climate change. Thats fine, everyones intitled to their own opinion. But then there are people who call themselves 'scientists' who are really getting paid from GAS companies to say that global warming isnt real. This makes some people actually believe this. I dont think thats right, as they've gotten only half the story. I think the problem with climate change is that its an optional thing, and if you dont want to do anything, you dont have to. But if you do, you can. If every person volunteered, the whole thing could be fixed. It just goes to show how lazy and selfish people are these days. Sad, isnt it?

Answer 7

To me there are no problems, only opportunities.  Now we can form new markets and new ways to travel that may reach more people.  More jobs, just a different kind, will pick up the economy.

Answer 8

very much so and it frightens me for the sake of our children.

Answer 9

yeah I agree with pinhed_1976 - its climate change but depending on what part of the world you live in it could be warming (more severe droughts in Africa) or cooling (dilution of the Gulf stream affects North America and Western Europe).

Answer 10

yea i dnt wanna dye or my children die young b/c ppl 4 2 lazy 2 change what they do 2 make the earth a better place

Answer 11

I did before Gore got involved. Now, it seems like Hype.  I personally think it is important to be good to environment. I recycle, pick up liter and participate in my community, but I can only do so much. I think a lot of what happens is that the earth's environment repairs itself. Not all damage, mind you.
