Change The World To A Sweet Place To Live In

2010-12-30T20:50:00.000-08:00

Today people are moving indifferently. Where this indifference will lead them, they know not. Transmission is what the present world needs from everyone. Transmission in people around the world will make the earth a safe place to live in.

During olden days, people who adopted Buddhism followed that faith to their heart. And it was olden days…

It was good that Shih-kung was a hunter - a simple person, a simple life, running after wild animals. Must have been a wild man. That’s why this transmission became possible.

He strongly disliked Buddhist monks, who were against his profession.

A simple man. He disliked Buddhist monks because Buddhism is against hunting, against any kind of violence. One thing to be remembered: hatred is far better than indifference. It is very difficult for an indifferent person to be transformed. But he was so much full of dislike, so full of hatred for the Buddhist monks and Buddhism that the change, the radical change, was not difficult!

Hate is love upside down, hate is love doing sirshasan, standing on its head. And a man who is standing on his head can be easily put on his feet; that is not very much difficult. The indifferent person is the most difficult person.

And that what has happened to the contemporary mind. In the past there were theists, there were atheists; now there are neither theists nor atheists. There are only indifferent people who don’t care a bit about religion. And they are in both the camps, but in fact ninety-nine point nine percent people of the world today are neither theist nor atheists. In fact, it is thought to be impolite to discuss such matters. In high society in this age of information technology people don’t argue about God. It is a question of liking. “If you like roses, good. I don’t like roses.” The matter is finished! There is no question of argument. It is a question of likes and dislikes. Nobody will be ready to be crucified for God or for godlessness. Who cares that much? Whether God exists or not does not matter.

This Shih-Kung was not an indifferent person, it was easy to transform him, he was initiated into meditation and he became a Monk.

Somewhere Al Gore started talking about this Global Warming. He came out with some terrible figures. And people started looking up. Then there are group of people who started calling this a hoax. Then there are people who are totally indifferent. People who call Al Gore and talk hatred about him are OK. But it is this indifferent people that is worrying all.

People mostly now started thinking of themselves rather than the future of their children. `Let the earth boil and burst to flames, I am ready to die; but I will take along with me, my sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters.' That is what most of the people think.

This is not good, being indifferent is not good, change in you is a must for change in the climate of this earth. I hear you saying, `o.k., I will change, tell me what to do, what you want me to do.’ What I am asking you is this simple thing. Very very simple, join our Group to start with… it’s FREE. Yes, it’s free; you are going to know what this world is going through, what transmission is needed by the world to make it a safe living. You will get educated, which is the need of the hour.

Warming Of Earth

2010-12-30T20:29:00.000-08:00

The earth is becoming more and more warmer and on one day people will start melting due to the Sun's heat. Yes people have to die due to sun strokes.

The proof of growing heat of the earth's atmosphere need not be emphasised or given. Since you yourself know very well how hot the earth is compared to last year or the previous to last year or five years back.

Just ask any person what he will do to bring back the earth to normal temperature. You will find that that person or for that matter any person is least bothered or interested to know about this catastrophe. Why? because people are to embarace death if need be -unconsciously. Yes, if you ask people whether he is ready to die? He will very well answer that he wants to live in this world and enjoy all that he could enjoy. He never wants to die. But unconsciously people are easily getting accustomed to atmosphere and vigourous nature. They do not want to fight the global warming.

Since everybody is going to suffer and die human beings are least bothered to live. They very well accept indirectly to embrace death collectively.

In the end the victory is for the SUN. The earth becomes more and more warm/heat and would become a place unfit for living.

We’re working on a global project to demystify the carbon markets and create an army of environmental entrepreneurs. The Carbon Advice Group (www.carbonadvicegroup.com) is running a free affiliate program that enables individuals and businesses to get their own white-label website with carbon calculators and the ability for visitors to purchase carbon credits. We believe that by paying our affiliates a small commission from the sale of the carbon credits we will be able to significantly increase awareness about the positive benefits that the right type of carbon credits can bring to the communities they affect, as well as moving money from those that have it to those that need it. We see Global Warming as the greatest team challenge we have ever faced and we hope we can play a role in becoming part of the solution.”

Carbon Advice Group offers you a great opportunity to be its member and earn money as well. Be a member of it and spread the word around the world. You will be doing a service to mankind by being a part of a group which strives for reduction of Global Warming and CO2 emissions.

Everyday actions like driving a car, heating your home and office, transporting goods and even using your computer use energy and produce greenhouse gas emissions (such as carbon dioxide) which contribute to climate change.

You can compensate for your unavoidable emissions by buying carbon credits from an internationally verified project that makes an equivalent greenhouse gas saving. This is called ‘carbon offsetting’.

Is this a ‘cure’ for climate change?

Offsetting your carbon footprint will not reverse the effects already caused by your carbon dioxide emissions. The harm to the environment caused by these emissions cannot be undone. However, by saving an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide elsewhere, you can help to minimise the total global emissions.

Once you know what your carbon footprint is, you can buy the equivalent amount in ‘carbon credits’ from our internationally verified emission reduction projects that have made a greenhouse gas saving. These projects may be in another part of the world to where you created the emissions, however they will still have the same positive effect on the environment.

What do you get in return?

We will send you green certificates and window displays for your business, and green windscreen “permits” for your carbon offset cars. We will also provide you with our carbon neutral logo that you can use on your letterhead to demonstrate to your customers, suppliers and competitors that you have taken the initiative and are doing your bit for the environment.

Where does the money go?

We are committed to assisting you in every step of the way in achieving your low carbon goals. Your investment is used to purchase high quality carbon credits. We promise that we will deliver the carbon dioxide reductions that you have bought. These reductions will:

Be independently verified by a Designated Operational Entity.

Meet internationally recognised Carbon Offset standards.

Be registered, delivered and cancelled on your behalf with an Independent Carbon Credits Registry.

By offsetting your CO2 emissions with the Carbon Advice Group, you can be assured that your money is being invested to reduce the equivalent level of CO2 in a selected portfolio of projects around the world.

We only create or invest in offsets which are independently verified to meet the highest standards. In particular we focus on projects which can meet the demanding rigour of the United Nations Clean Development
Mechanism (Certified Emissions Reductions) or an internationally recognised standard such as the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) or the Gold Standard for UN and Verified projects.

We also offer Land Use and Forestry projects as a popular option which can be independently verified to meet our standards or one of the internationally recognised standards.

We are not tied to any particular Offset type or project initiator so we can create a diversified portfolio of offsets to meet our needs and we only work with the leading international financial institutions and accredited Carbon Offsetters including members of International Energy Trading Association (IETA).

This ensures that we can always spend the maximum amount of money on the most effective offsets available. We exclude any project where we feel there may be questions over the effectiveness of the chosen methodology or where we think it's the responsibility of individual businesses to address their operations. We keep you fully informed of our investments through email and on our website.

Our standards

Our selection criteria dictate that the projects we invest in demonstrate the following:

Sustainable Development – helping communities better themselves in a way that is socially, economically and environmentally sustainable.
Welfare – projects must result in improvements to human quality of life and lead to safer living conditions for all participants.
Environmental Security – projects must protect the local environment of the community in which they are undertaken and ensure that both short and long term improvements are achieved.
Accountability – Projects must be monitored by independent bodies to ensure criteria are met and that target calculations are accurately reported.
Transparency – All projects must be able to clearly demonstrate how and where all investment is utilized.
Additionality – All projects must produce carbon reductions or removals that could not have taken place without project implementation.

Tips

Check regularly on your consumption of electricity, gas and oil, and that your bills relate to what you actually use, rather than an estimate.
Switch off lights in empty rooms and corridors – especially at the end of the day. This can save up to 15% on your energy bill
Keep windows closed in cold weather. If staff are too warm, turn the heating down instead
Don’t use more light than you need. Remove or switch off unused light fittings
Clean light fittings yearly. Dirt reduces lighting efficiency, encouraging people to switch more lights on.
Set the thermostat at 19 degrees C – costs rise by 8% for every 1 degrees C increase
Don’t heat unused space. Storerooms, corridors and areas where there’s heavy physical work can be set to lower temperatures. Reduces heating during holidays and weekends
Check thermostats are sited out of draughts and away from either cold or hot spots
Keep radiators clear of furniture – it reduces their efficiency output

Lighting

Label light switches and encourage people to turn lights off after use to help with saving energy
Use time switches to control display lighting
Have lighting levels checked – are they inappropriately high for the task? Local task lighting may reduce glare and save energy
Replace older 38mm (T12) fluorescent tubes with 26mm T8 types that give a better colour light and use 8% less energy*
Fit daylight sensors to areas that receive natural light, to turn off lighting and maximise the use of daylight
Replace lighting with new high frequency triphosphor fluorescent lights. These can be dimmed and use around 20% less energy*
Review the use and control of exterior lighting. Sodium lights are most effective for night-time security. Consider fitting automatic photocell switching

* All figures and percentages (%) quoted have been taken from the set of figures provided by OFGEM in July 2006.

Office Equipment and Gas Appliances

Switch off office equipment when not in use or when leaving the office. Consider fitting time switches to turn off equipment at night
Configure the energy saving features of IT equipment
Select office equipment that is ‘A-Rated’ for energy saving. Ask suppliers about saving energy when buying new equipment
Avoid using supplementary electric heaters in the office
Switch kettles for well-insulated water boilers. Remove lamps from internal vending machines

Heating and Hot Water

Avoid overheating space or water – check thermostats and controls regularly
Check time switches so heating times match building occupancy
Check radiators and heat emitters are free from obstructions
Check insulation on pipes, and lagging on hot water storage tanks
Large buildings should use an electric immersion heater or a small boiler rather than the mains to heat water in the summer
Avoid using large boilers for small amounts. Save energy by installing smaller hot water storage systems, valve off multiple units or fit spray taps
Hot water for catering and washing should be heated to 60-65 C to avoid legionella but no higher to reduce excessive heat loss*
Fit thermostatic radiator valves to control local temperature, or a mixing valve based on the outside temperature (effective for a mild spring or autumn)
Install ceiling fans to help de-stratify the air, reduce heat loss through the roof and improve comfort whilst saving energy
Tall, poorly insulated buildings, like factories and warehouses, are often best heated with direct-fired radiant tube heaters

Boiler Plant

If your boiler is approaching 20 years old, you should consider a replacement. Replace with an A-rated boiler
Check boilers are well insulated. If fitting additional insulation, you should ensure this does not interfere with the burner or air supply
Record flue gas temperature over a few months. A rising temperature indicates boiler fouling
Fit sequencing controls in multi-boiler installations to prevent boilers running at a part load
Check regularly for water leaks (from pipework, valves, flanges and the boiler itself). If feed and expansion tanks are often filling, a significant leak is likely
Ensure all boiler air vents are kept clear. Optimum combustion of the boiler fuel is important for both efficiency and safety reasons
Insulate relevant piping, valves, flanges and other fittings on steam and hot water distribution systems, to prevent 10% heat loss*
Maximise the return of condensate to the boiler to save energy and water treatment costs. Seek help if condensate is unnecessarily going to drain

Insulation

Reduce draughts on windows and doors. Seal with inexpensive self-adhesive draught excluder to reduce air infiltration and heat loss by up to 10%*
Ensure external doors have automatic closures. Consider fitting a draught lobby or porch on busy doorways
Use plastic strip curtains to reduce heat loss and create visual security at loading bays and service doors, while still allowing easy access
Insulate cavity walls and roof voids, without disturbing commercial activities, and help reduce heat loss by up to 35%*
Fit docking seals to temperature controlled warehouses to reduce heat loss, combat dust and maintain product quality
Ensure pipes and valves are effectively insulated
Loading bays will benefit from airlocks or rapid roller shutters automatically opening and shutting using presence detectors
Upgrade insulation levels on factory roofs and metal clad buildings to drastically reduce heat loss in winter and keep cool in summer, saving energy all year round

Air Conditioning

Minimise heat gain – reduce tungsten lighting use and employ energy saving features of office equipment
Improve air movement and ventilation to lower temperatures. Consider switching off air conditioning, opening windows and using ceiling fans to circulate air
Control solar gains using blinds in sunny weather, and consider shading or upgraded insulation to walls subject to solar gain
Save energy by avoiding excess cooling – air conditioning is rarely needed below 24-26 C
Check the air conditioning control system so that operational hours match building occupancy
Ensure chilled pipes and ducts are well insulated and undamaged, filters are cleaned and air conditioning equipment is serviced regularly
Use free cooling from night ventilation, exposing building fabric etc. to minimise air conditioning usage
Check control strategies to ensure cooling and heating does not occur simultaneously

Motors

Consider if the motor drive system is doing a useful job; eliminate any unnecessary equipment left running. Reduce load on motor where possible
Switch the motor off when not needed. Possible techniques include manual switching off, interlocking, time switches and load sensing
Maximise energy saving and minimise motor losses by always specifying higher efficiency motors (HEMs) where feasible
Purchase a higher efficiency motor for little or no extra cost than standard. This could save you energy for less than the cost of a month’s electricity
Ensure proper care and attention is given during motor repair. Ensure all equipment is maintained properly
Change pulley sizes on belt-driven motor systems to reduce speed and save energy
In pump and fan applications, use motor speed control such as a variable speed drive (VSD) for regulating flow rather than throttles, dampers or re-circulation systems

Compressed Air

Listen for air leaks in quiet periods. Repair leaks, most commonly on connectors, flanges and flexible hoses
Ensure air inlets to compressors are ducted from the coldest source (usually outside). Reducing air inlet take by 6 C increases output by 2%*
Use low pressure blowers for applications such as air knives, lances, agitation, blow-guns etc
Don’t misuse compressed air, for example cleaning workbenches and floors, or cooling
Don’t leave air compressors running when not required – when idling some draw up to 60% of their full load power*
Read meters at regular intervals to see whether you have more units running than necessary for your compressed air. Install controls to optimise usage
Fit zone-isolation valves, under time control or interlocked to the area served, so parts of the site can operate without air going through the whole works
Ensure compressed air systems are maintained regularly and properly to help your energy saving efforts
Don’t produce compressed air at a pressure greater than required, or filter and dry it to unnecessarily high levels

Refrigeration Plant

Avoid setting refrigeration controls for a lower temperature than necessary – just 5 C too low will add up to 10-20% to electricity consumption*
Clean refrigeration condensers regularly. Blocked condensers increase condensing temperature, and cooling capacity drops
Ensure your plant is regularly checked for refrigerant leaks – ideally every six months*
Insulate cold refrigerant pipes between the evaporator and compressor. Do not run them through hot areas
Keep refrigerator door seals in good condition. To save energy, keep doors closed as much as possible for cooled rooms and appliances
Refrigeration appliances storing non-perishable goods (i.e. soft drinks) should be turned off when not needed
Ensure air or water surrounding refrigeration condensers is as cool as possible. Shade condensers from sunlight and ensure warm air / water is not re-circulated
Remove obstructions to refrigeration airflows. Ensure defrosting is working properly so that evaporators do not become iced up

Process Plant

Try to run your process plant at full output as an under-utilised plant can be less efficient
Measure the energy performance of significant processes separately. Deterioration can be detected early and the impact of savings measures quantified
Question whether processing regimes are optimised between quality and cost. Process times may be long as ‘that’s the way it’s always been done’
Consider and build in energy efficiency opportunities when procuring and installing a new process plant
Consider switching off the process plant when idle, or alter production schedules to better utilise plant when operating
Ensure process plant equipment is properly maintained and any energy saving features are utilised properly
Where heat is rejected from processes, consider opportunities for heat recovery and its use elsewhere, such as for space heating

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant

A CHP system can be more efficient and offer substantial savings as waste heat is not discarded and carbon dioxide emissions are reduced
Fuel inputs to, and electricity outputs from ,a good quality CHP are exempt from the Climate Change Levy
A CHP plant is available in a wide range of sizes, and so can be tailored to many applications
Consider the cost of maintenance, additional gas supply and connection to the electricity network when deciding on the economics of a CHP system
If your site has demands for heat and electricity for more than 4,500 hours per year, it is worth considering a CHP
A CHP plant is capital intensive, but it is possible to attain third party finance
