Good evening everyone. I'm actually very happy to speak to an audience that comes from six different continents and 50 plus nations. So let's talk about something we care.We care about our children and we are concerned about how they are going to live and thrive in this world. When we have a looming disaster, looming threat called climate change. Climate change is not a theory in a textbook.It's a lived reality. My friends from Indonesia can attest me that parts of Jakarta are sinking and may be lost to ris ...

RT Isabella Anderson (@IsabellaAn67)The giant Chinese fishing ship swarms are brighter than all the cities in the southern half of South America combined!China operates more than 500,000 fishing vessels, and at least 50,000 overseas fishing fleets that wipe the oceans clean on their path!Collectively, they probably consume more petroleum fuel by volume and emit more CO2 than all the cars in Europe combined, let alone the global scale environmental and ecological mass destruction.Never saw @GretaThunberg, @G ...

Well, the answer is one liter of petrol, which is only 750 g will emit 2,300 g. One liter.And when you think ...
How to Build a Hydrogen-Powered Car | Om Gulia | TEDxMeadowridge School

[music] There are over 305 million vehicles on the streets today. Just to be conservative, let's say each vehicle is a sedan. Then each sedan would produce 66 tons of CO2 in its lifetime.You don't need me to calculate 305 million * 66 tons of CO2 to know that that's an astronomically large number. Gas cars in their current iteration aren't just working. And we need a solution for this kind of pollution.Yeah, sure you may have electric cars. They are more eco-friendly, but they're only as good as the way tha ...

Als architect. Het is ons vak om aangename woon een werkomgeving te maken. We doen dat graag. We doen dat vol enthousiasme.Maar we mogen echter niet vergeten dat bij de realisatie van die projecten er vaak een heel belangrijke milieuimpact bij hoort. Wist u dat om é vier gebouw te realiseren er evenveel CO2 vrij komt als bij een vlucht Brussel New York. Dus we hebben grote verantwoordelijkheid.Er pasteert eigenlijk heel veel CO2 door onze handen. Het is ook heel belangrijk dat de toekomstige generatie archi ...

Plastic Pollution | Scarlet Vielliard | TEDxAga Khan HS Kampala Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-22 16:01
Environmental Concerns - Plastic pollution is a significant global issue, exemplified by events like island flooding and pervasive plastic waste [1] - Climate change and pollution are causing environmental damage, including the melting of the North Pole and the endangerment of species like polar bears (approximately 600 polar bears die each year due to the melting ice) [2][3] - By 2050, projections indicate there will be more plastic than fish in the sea, highlighting the urgency of addressing plastic pollution [4] Ugandan Plastic Pollution Crisis - Uganda generates approximately 600 tons of plastic waste daily, with 79% ending up in landfills or the environment, 12% incinerated, and only 9% recycled [5] - Burning all of Uganda's plastic waste would release 9,000 tons of CO2 emissions and particulate matter [6] - Particulate matter pollution in Uganda is significantly high, with a 24-hour release of 102 compared to a good amount of 125% [6] - Uganda's efforts to reduce pollution, particularly from "cavveras" (plastic bags), are insufficient, with disintegration rates of 500 to 1,000 years [7] Proposed Solutions - Implementing a "pant" system, similar to Denmark's, could incentivize recycling by offering a refund for returned bottles (e g, paying an extra 500 shillings for a bottle, refunded upon return) [8][9] - Utilizing water hyacinth from Lake Victoria to create 100% biodegradable plastic, which degrades in approximately 6 months, could replace traditional plastics [10][11]
