Today, due to mass consumption and the unconsciousness of how properly dispose of trash, it became necessary to create projects like this in Parana, aimed at recycling waste, making it useful again. It would be more appropriate for projects such as these expand, with the creation of more solar heaters made from recycled bottles, so that reduces the amount of waste, reuse what can be reused, and even save energy. is a great idea to promote.

Comment on More Brazilian States Opt for Smoke-Free Environments by Lucas Batista

With each passing year I realize that the government has tried to ban the use of cigarettes, and that the anti-smoking movement has become increasingly strong. First was removing the advertisements, both on television and on billboards as sponsorship (which was very common in formula 1). After the cigarette companies themselves began to put on their packaging that the product caused harm health. Now I see clearly the government’s effort to get the cigarettes from the streets, public places, and Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have already adopted, it will surely spread throughout the national territory, as is already happening in Paraná and Amazonas. I believe it is a great idea, and certainly will improve the relationship between smokers and non-smokers or passive smokers in the case, since only those who smoke will want in your space and in appropriate locations. And if someone comes disrespecting people’s health, but deserves to be punished.
I see no harm in smoking, because sometimes not the fault of the person, it becomes dependent and ends up becoming an addiction, but it is necessary that the smoker respects the others that are around you. The smoking is both bad for someone who is smoking, as to who is breathing the smoke. All this is a common sense of society.

Comment on A Sustainable Energy Plan for Brazil? by wdson filipe

Making investments in nuclear energy in Brazil is pure stupidity, we have to prove Angra al. Apart from the fact that it is now creates a problem. Even greater in the future (discarding the redidual produced, the risk of leaks, etc) Renewable energy is the best option, but the Brazilian government in its eagerness to achieve a position of self-sufficiency in energy and unsustainable growth continues, tends pretending blind. As mentioned here in Brazil we have a “gigantic white elephant” that is called Angra, which represents a small amount of energy production in the country. What I do not understand is: If Brazil has already spent billions of dollars on nuclear energy (Angra) and still did not get a good result, because they continue this policy of investments in this area?

It is a good idea, practical and low cost. Besides extremely ecological.

This type of recycling is feasible in two major aspects. It strips the plastic bottles from the environment and also reduces the use of electricity using a renewable energy source. In addition, it’s very easy to assemble!

Considering that we live in a world that has finite resources, recycling or in this specific case, the reuse of materials and a good initiative. Following the example of Mr. Celio de Oliveira, who apparently has no scientific or technical knowledge of engineering, we can reuses material produced and discarded on such a large scale in Brazil and worldwide.

I knew this idea long ago and have until your mode of preparation, because my mom had the idea to build this Solar Water Heater and even joined materials because here in my country, Brazil, is not really feasible to purchase your version industrialized by the majority population. At that time, she had no time to finish this project, but now she is retired and can devote more time to this amazing idea.

I stay really glad when people reuse things to make sustainable objects. This idea of making a solar heater made of PET bottles is amazing. It’s perfect for everyone, because by using solar heater like this, we’re doing a big flavor to the environment. Besides saving a lot of energy, we’ll be able to make a clear world. If the idea goes on, those PETs won’t let our streets smeared anymore, a our energy bill will reduce significantly.

Amazing! Great idea in favor of the environment. While taking up the PET bottles from the environment, the bottle is used for electricity and also to heat water. Two problems in a single shot. Point for sustainability!

Comment on More Construction with PET Bottles by Luísa Marques

Unfortunately humans consume more than they you need and produces more waste than the environment can handle, so recycling becomes something important today. I already knew several ways to reuse PET bottles, but this idea of using them in place of bricks had never seen before and I confess that I found innovative because, as said in the post, these bottles last longer than the common material, a super intelligent attitudte is responsible., Iin addition to decreasing cost, it helps in the amount of garbage into the environment, making the world we live in more pleasant and less inhabited by garbage. These ideas should be disseminated and used all over the world, so that everyone contributes to the preservation of all nature.

For years, the federal government and other sectors of health care awareness and has been working in the campaign against cigarette. With more states participating and developing laws that reduce the use of cigarettes, it is easier to combat the use of tobacco in public places and aware that such use is detrimental to anyone who is a smoker and nonsmoker (call passive smoker). I hope that there are surveillance law is enforced properly.
