風能做 Wind Energy: Just do it

Wind energy. The answer is blowing in the wind. Just do it.


問題是如何滿足我們的能源需求用安全、可持續的、友好型的方式。答案是

飄在風中。The question is how to meet our energy needs in a safe & sustainable way. The answer is blowing in the wind

‘‘Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”

(W. H. Murray in The Scottish Himalaya Expedition, 1951, paraphrasing Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

‘‘(不管是什麼, 如果你能做或覺得你能做開始做。 氣魄裡面有天才、力量、和魔術。)”

(W. H. Murray,1951, 復述 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 的話)

這是為了促進友好型的能源,不只是風力。如果跟風力比較起來的話其他可再生能源有一些好處。 比如說,太陽能不需要任何什麼會動的零件所以比較容易保養、對於鳥沒有威脅、而且是安靜的。 不過未來可能還會需要風能: 最大的風力渦輪機的產生電量是巨大,小的風力渦輪機可放在屋頂上面或其他方便的地方,而且新的風力渦輪機的設計有一些好處:更安靜、更便宜、對鳥更安全、需要的土地更少、而且效率高。 

This is to promote renewable energy in general rather than just wind turbines. Other renewable energy options have some advantages over wind energy. For example, solar power requires no moving parts so potentially means less maintenance, no threat to birds and no noise. However; wind energy is likely here to stay for now: the energy output of some of the largest wind turbines is colossal, small turbines can conveniently be put up onto roofs or various other places and furthermore new wind turbine designs claim to offer numerous advantages such as less noise, less cost, less threat to birds, use of less space and greater efficiency.

停車熄火環保活動介紹 Intro to Stop Engine Idling Campaign

怠速引擎會浪費汽油, 浪費錢, 縮短發動機的壽命, 排放溫室氣體, 也會造成有害的空氣污染跟噪音.

不管你在那裡如果你想改善空氣品質可以自己把這些圖片印出來, 分發 (無版權). 適合展出或分發的地方: 學校內、學校大門、駕駛學校、摩托車跟汽車經銷商、公共汽車站跟火車站、垃圾車停車場、停車場及建築地盤。貼在電梯, 小便池, 或人會停留的地方可能最有效.

如果你想支持或參與這個活動請按’Like’或跟別人分享. 也可以用聯繫表格或發email給Luc@peacemakerfoundation.com.

如果您的工作在於客運、計程車、或送貨公司請按這裡

Idling engines wastes fuel and money, reduces engine life, emits greenhouse gases, and creates harmful air and noise pollution. If you would like to help improve the air quality wherever you are then you can print the pictures out yourself and distribute (copyright free). Good places to display or distribute the images include within schools, school gates, driving schools, scooter and car dealerships, bus and train stations, refuse collection vehicle compounds, car parks and construction sites. Putting up images by elevators, urinals, or anyplace where people stop is likely to be effective. If you want to help this campaign then please like and share this post. You can also contact Luc via the contact form or send an email to: Luc@peacemakerfoundation.com.

綠色通道提案: 沒有車子的路很好走

沒有車子的路很好走

輕便交通工具越來越受歡迎。地球的溫度越來越高。
方法:選一些適合的路開放給自行車與別的輕便交通工具。汽車禁行。
首先可以在週末實行,如果結果好可以整個禮拜這養做。

非常容易, 便宜, 有效, 而且完全可以反轉。 這些圖片描畫台北可是這個方法可以用在別的城市。

那當地居民怎麼停車呢?
方法很多。可以提供給他們免費停車場、補償費、 或特殊訪問許可證。他們可用電子ID自動打開欄柵或關口。他們要慢速得開車用旁邊的車道。

如果我們這樣做旁邊的路會不會變得更混亂?
開始實行這個規劃的時候附近的路也許會有更多車子,可是很可能自行車、其他環保交通工具、與行人都會減少因為他們能用綠道。 而且等一段時間很多司機會多使用輕便環保交通工具或走路,所以整個城市的車很可能會減少。

那請問,緊急服務車和送貨車怎麼辦?
這類的車能有特殊訪問。欄柵或關口的話它們可用電子ID自動打開。送貨車要慢行用旁邊的車道。極有可能小型輕便的送貨車會出現。

我不相信我們能實現這個規劃。空中樓閣。
“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.” (George Bernard Shaw)
(說’不可能’的人不應該打擾正在做的人) (George Bernard Shaw)

這種規劃已經有做過在很多地方。 請看這裡這裡。唯一差別就是路是給輕便交通工具而不是全部給行人。科技發展的很快、交通工具越來越輕便、小、安全、有效率、而且城市的密度會越來越高, 所以這種或同樣的規劃是必要的。 重点是我们要做得好。

學校可用的環保海報

這些圖片可用在教室內。可以添顏色、加文字、或當成參考資料。特別適合語言、科學、或藝術有關的課。 圖像之下的文字可以’發動’小孩子的靈感。他們應該不會有很’怠’的態度。

The following copyright free images can be used in the classroom, either for colouring in and adding text or as a reference. Especially suitable for language, science, and art classes.  Some text ideas are provided to help ‘kickstart’ the children’s inspiration.  Hopefully they won’t be idle.

版權開放給學校使用環保海報
