These lights are able to accomplish this because they contain small amounts of mercury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mercury is a natural element that has many uses. However, mercury is a powerful neurotoxin and causes a variety of adverse health effects due to exposure. Those who are at most risk from mercury exposure are pregnant women and developing children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leading consensus from environmental organizations and government is that although fluorescents should be handled with care and managed properly to avoid breakage, they are still recommended for business and residential use due to their many benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, people should handle these products with care and common sense – much like you would when driving to avoid crashing your car. By taking simple steps to prevent breaking fluorescent lights, consumers can avoid exposure to mercury. Due to the possibility of mercury vapor being retained in carpets, you may want to consider using and handling fluorescent lights only in areas above hard flooring as well as areas with lamps that are not easily knocked over by children or animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following guidelines are based on recommendations from the U.S. EPA and the recent study conducted by the state of Maine for cleaning up after a CFL or fluorescent tube breaks. Please note that in California, these lights are not allowed in the trash and must be managed as Universal Wastes. It should also be mentioned that if you break a CFL that no longer works or has been used for a while, as opposed to a new CFL, the amount of mercury vapor released during a break is likely to be significantly less. This is because much of the mercury will be bound to the glass rather than released as vapor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a fluorescent light breaks please refer to the following guidelines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area for at least 15 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Turn off your AC/Fan/Heater so as not to circulate any mercury vapor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Young children and pregnant women should leave the area during cleanup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as a dust mask and gloves to keep bulb dust and glass from being inhaled or contacting your skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Carefully remove the larger pieces and place them in a secure closed container.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Next, begin collecting the smaller pieces and dust. It is recommended that you use two stiff pieces of paper such as index cards or one of the many commercial mercury spill kits available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Put all material into a sealed container. Pat the area with the sticky side of duct, packing or masking tape. Wipe the area with a damp cloth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Put all waste and materials used to clean up the bulb in a secure closed container and label it &quot;Universal Waste – broken lamp&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Take the container for recycling to the household hazardous waste facility (HHW) nearest you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• If the bulb breaks on carpet, the State of Maine&#39;s report suggests removing the area of carpet that has been contaminated as a precaution. If this is not feasible, it is recommended that you ventilate the area for several hours as well as during the process of vacuuming because vacuuming can circulate the vapor. If you vacuum, make sure to dispose of the bag along with the broken CFL at your local HHW. You should also ventilate the room during the next few times you vacuum the area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.thebriefingroom.com/archives/2008/08/mercury_in_cfls.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/01_01/bulbgraphMS0501_468x622.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/01_01/bulbgraphMS0501_468x622.jpg&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/feeds/6624974195827401760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/2012/11/fluorescent-lights-what-to-do-if-it.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4780143000388520196/posts/default/6624974195827401760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4780143000388520196/posts/default/6624974195827401760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/2012/11/fluorescent-lights-what-to-do-if-it.html' title='Fluorescent lights: WHAT TO DO IF IT BREAKS?

Με βάση τα στοιχεία της Eurostat το ποσοστό των ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας για τα 27 κράτη μέλη ανήλθε στο 12.4% και είναι συγκριτικά μεγαλύτερο από το 11.7% ένα χρόνο προηγουμένως.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Η χρήση ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας είναι μέσα στους άμεσους στόχους της ΕΕ όπως αυτοί καθορίστηκαν από την στρατηγική «Ευρώπη 2020». Η ΕΕ θέτει ως στόχο της να επιτύχει περίπου ένα ποσοστό της τάξεως του 20% συμμετοχή των ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας στη συνολική κατανάλωση.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Σύμφωνα με την οδηγία που εκδόθηκε το 2009 η ΕΕ καλείται όπως επιτύχει συγκεκριμένους στόχους για το συνολικό μερίδιο των ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας. Για την επιτυχή κατάληξη του πιο πάνω στόχου τα κράτη μέλη καλούνται όπως θεσπίσουν κανόνες με τους οποίους θα είναι εφικτή η χρήση ηλεκτροπαραγωγής ενέργειας. Τα υψηλότερα ποσοστά χρήσης αναεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας σημειώθηκαν στη Σουηδία (47.9%), Λετονία (32.6%), Φινλανδία (32.2%), Αυστρία (30.1%) και Πορτογαλία (24.6%).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Σε σχέση με την Κύπρο το ποσοστό παραμένει χαμηλό αφού έχει φτάσει μόνο στο 4.8% ενώ σύμφωνα με τους στόχους της στρατηγικής «Ευρώπη 2020» το ποσοστό αυτό θα πρέπει να αγγίξει στο 13%. Μόλις τον τελευταίο χρόνο η Κύπρος προσπαθεί να ανακάμψει στον τομέα αυτό με την είσοδο των μεγάλων μονάδων παραγωγής αιολικής ενέργειας.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Η αύξηση της χρήσης ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας η οποία σύμφωνα με την «Ευρώπη 2020» θα πρέπει να φτάσει το 20% είναι μια από τις πιο μεγάλες προκλήσεις των κρατών μελών και των κυβερνήσεων τους που θα συμβάλει θετικά στη σύσταση μια βιώσιμης ενεργειακής πολιτικής της ΕΕ. Για την επιτυχή έκβαση του εγχειρήματος κάθε κράτος μέλος θα πρέπει να θέσει συγκεκριμένους στόχους για το συνολικό μερίδιο των ανανεώσιμων πηγών ενέργειας.Για το σκοπό αυτό τα κράτη μέλη θα πρέπει να θεσπίσουν κανόνες για την πρόσβαση των πολιτών και των επιχειρήσεων στις ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας. Η επένδυση στις εναλλακτικές μορφές ενέργειας αποτελεί σημαντική πτυχή την οποία θα πρέπει να εκμεταλλευθεί η ΕΕ.Επένδυση στις ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας σημαίνει επένδυση στο μέλλον και μέσα σ’αυτό το πλαίσιο θα πρέπει να κινηθεί η ΕΕ για την εξασφάλιση μιαςβιώσιμης ανάπτυξης.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.politis-europe.com/cgibin/hweb?-A=2332&amp;amp;-V=news&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politis-europe.com/pictures/draft_lens2130662module12572638photo_1227026248deepwtr_njturbine.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://www.politis-europe.com/pictures/draft_lens2130662module12572638photo_1227026248deepwtr_njturbine.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/feeds/7367458965691642059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/2012/08/renewables-in-cyprus-at-45.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4780143000388520196/posts/default/7367458965691642059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4780143000388520196/posts/default/7367458965691642059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/2012/08/renewables-in-cyprus-at-45.html' title='Renewables in Cyprus at 4.5%'/><author><name>n</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780143000388520196.post-8782991341317438716</id><published>2012-05-26T14:43:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2012-05-26T14:43:19.349+03:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Environment"/><title type='text'>Is a zero waste society possible?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;An article from coExist summarizes the conditions that led&amp;nbsp;California reduce waste, their success story and how they managed to turn a big problem to a new&amp;nbsp;business&amp;nbsp;opportunity!

Consider the 28 million tons of plastic waste we send to landfills each year, essentially re-burying the oil in the earth, but this time in places that make it virtually impossible to recover.

Reducing wasteful packaging and other materials, re-using as much as possible, and aggressively recycling any useful commodities like glass and aluminum resulted in California achieving that goal on schedule. This success led to the passage last year of a new target--75% diversion--and inspired a lot of people to start thinking about a zero-waste society.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: none; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.4em; orphans: 4; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Around the world, communities, governments, and companies are beginning to dip a toe in the waters of the zero-waste movement and the surprising results are that new technologies, businesses, and jobs are being created.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: none; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.4em; orphans: 4; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;For example, old carpet remains one of the biggest contributors to landfills.

Some states charge a small fee on the purchase of new electronics, which is used to jump-start recycling businesses. In California alone, hundreds of new businesses were started since the e-waste law took effect in 2005, as is amply demonstrated on its&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/electronics/collection/RecyclerSearch.aspx&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(235, 176, 30); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;searchable database&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;aside class=&quot;pullquote&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: url(http://www.fastcoexist.com/sites/fastcoexist.com/themes/coexist/images/organic_pattern.jpg); background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 8px; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 8px; border-right-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 8px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 8px; clear: both; float: none; font-family: Grumpy-Black36; font-size: 26px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 32px; padding-right: 32px; padding-top: 20px; position: relative; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;q style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 35px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Resources are becoming increasingly scarce and we can no longer afford to waste anything&lt;/q&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: none; font-size: 15px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 1.4em; orphans: 4; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;With a global population that now exceeds 7 billion and a rapidly growing middle class, especially in developing economies such as Brazil, China, and India, resources are becoming increasingly scarce and we can no longer afford to waste anything.

style=&quot;background: white; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: white; color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Μέσω αυτής της επιστολής, οι τέσσερεις φορείς της κοινωνίας πολιτών ζητούν από τον Υπουργό Εσωτερικών, ως  βάσει του Νόμου Πολεοδομική Αρχή, την &lt;b&gt;άμεση ανάκληση των δύο πολεοδομικών αδειών&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;οι   οποίες παρέχουν το δικαίωμα ανέγερσης δύο νέων κτιρίων (συγκεκριμένα,  ενός εστιατορίου και ενός υπαίθριου εστιατορίου) στον Κυπριακό Οργανισμό  Τουρισμού (ΚΟΤ), εντός του παραθαλάσσιου Περιφερειακού Πάρκου και της  Δημόσιας Παραλίας στο Δασούδι της Λεμεσού&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;yiv1851189550MsoNormal&quot;

style=&quot;background: white; color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;. Ειδικότερα, θεωρούμε ότι η ανάκληση είναι απόλυτα αναγκαία, καθώς οι δύο πολεοδομικές άδειες εκδόθηκαν &lt;b id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065469&quot;&gt;κατά παράβαση των αποφάσεων του Υπουργικού Συμβουλίου και του εγκεκριμένου Γενικού Χωροταξικού Σχεδίου&lt;/b&gt;. Μάλιστα, οι πολεοδομικές άδειες που έχουν ήδη δοθεί προς τον ΚΟΤ &lt;b id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065464&quot;&gt;ανεβάζουν το συνολικό εμβαδόν των κτιριακών εγκαταστάσεων στο Δασούδι από τα 1350 τ.μ. στα 2800 τ.μ.&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;yiv1851189550MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065459&quot; style=&quot;background: white; color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;yiv1851189550MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065449&quot; style=&quot;background: white; color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Για  αυτούς ακριβώς τους λόγους, καλούμε τον Υπουργό Εσωτερικών να ασκήσει  τις εξουσίες που του παρέχει η νομοθεσία και να φροντίσει έτσι ώστε οι  δύο πολεοδομικές άδειες που  εκδόθηκαν παράτυπα να  ανακληθούν άμεσα. &lt;b id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065454&quot;&gt;Μόνο  έτσι, η συζήτηση για το μέλλον της περιοχής στο Δασούδι της Λεμεσού θα  μπορεί να γίνει στη βάση των αρχών της νομιμότητας και της χρηστής  διοίκησης. Και μόνο έτσι, οι έννοιες της Δημόσιας Παραλίας, του  Περιφερειακού Πάρκου και του Χώρου Περιβαλλοντικού Πλούτου θα  παραμείνουν μακριά από επιχειρηματικές δραστηριότητες&lt;/b&gt;, οι οποίες  είναι ξένες προς τον σκοπό για τον οποίο πάλεψαν στο παρελθόν και  συνεχίζουν να παλεύουν μέχρι σήμερα οι Λεμεσιανοί πολίτες.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;yiv1851189550MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065446&quot; style=&quot;background: white; color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;yiv1851189550MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;background: white; text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065428&quot; style=&quot;color: black; font-size: 12.0pt;&quot;&gt;Τέλος, &lt;b id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065443&quot;&gt;σας προσκαλούμε&amp;nbsp; στην παρουσίαση που διοργανώνει το Κυπριακό Ίδρυμα Προστασίας του Περιβάλλοντος, Terra Cypria, με τίτλο «&lt;i id=&quot;yiv1851189550yui_3_2_0_19_1330071061065438&quot;&gt;Δασούδι Λεμεσού, Σήμερα και Πριν: Μία Ιστορική Παρουσίαση κι Ένας Παραλληλισμός&lt;/i&gt;»&lt;/b&gt;.

font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;Μελέτη της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής καταδεικνύει ότι η εφαρμογή της νομοθεσίας περί αποβλήτων στο σύνολό της από τα κράτη μέλη, θα δημιουργούσε πάνω από 400.000 θέσεις εργασίας μέχρι το 2020, εξοικονόμηση 72 δις ευρώ ετησίως.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;O ετήσιος τζίρος των κλάδων ανακύκλωσης και διαχείρισης αποβλήτων, εξάλλου θα αυξανόταν κατά 42 δις ευρώ. Σύμφωνα με τη μελέτη τα κράτη μέλη χάνουν ευκαιρίες για οικονομική ανάπτυξη, κάνοντας παράνομες δραστηριότητες κατά παράβαση του κοινοτικού δικαίου.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;Με βάση το κοινοτικό δίκαιο και οδηγία του 2003 τα κράτη μέλη είχαν στη διάθεσή τους σχεδόν 10 χρόνια – έως τον Ιούλιο του 2012 να μειώσουν κατά 50% την ταφή αποβλήτων, εφαρμόζοντας ποικίλα προγράμματα ανακύκλωσης.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;«Χρειάζεται να θεωρήσουμε τα απόβλητα ως πόρο και η ταφή πόρων στο έδαφος είναι κάτι παραπάνω από κοντόφθαλμη», δήλωσε ο Ευρωπαίος Επίτροπος Janez Potočnik, επισημαίνοντας παράλληλα την ανάγκη για ενίσχυση των εθνικών επιθεωρήσεων και τη βελτίωση των γνώσεων γύρω από τη διαχείριση των αποβλήτων.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;Τα οφέλη από την πλήρη εφαρμογή της νομοθεσίας είναι πολλαπλά, όπως κατέδειξαν έρευνες σε Κύπρο, Γερμανία, Ιρλανδία, Ιταλία και Κάτω Χώρες. Συγκεκριμένα δίνεται η δυνατότητα στα κράτη μέλη για άντληση οικονομικών, χρηματοδοτικών αλλά και κοινωνικών οφελών. Μόνο για το 2008, ο ετήσιος κύκλος εργασιών του κλάδου διαχείρισης αποβλήτων έκανε κέρδη ύψους 145 δις ευρώ (ποσοστό 1% περίπου του ΑΕΠ της ΕΕ), ενώ απασχολήθηκαν 2 εκατομμύρια εργαζόμενοι σε αυτό τον τομέα. Ο κλάδος φαίνεται να είναι πολλά υποσχόμενος καθώς αν υπήρχε συμμόρφωση των κρατών μελών με τις ευρωπαϊκές πολιτικές, τότε θα υπήρχε δυνατότητα για 2,3 εκατομμύρια νέες θέσεις εργασίας, ενώ τα κέρδη θα έφταναν τα 187 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;Στην Κύπρο το πρόβλημα είναι τεράστιο δεδομένου ότι τα περισσότερα οικιακά απόβλητα καταλήγουν στα ΧΥΤΑ χωρίς να είναι δυνατό να τύχουν διαλογής.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;Τα τέσσερα βασικά συμπεράσματα που προκύπτουν από τη μελέτη είναι τα εξής:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #363636; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ανάγκη για περισσότερες γνώσεις σχετικά με τα απόβλητα και τη διαχείρισή τους. Προς επίτευξη του στόχου απαιτείται συστηματική παρακολούθηση της λειτουργίας των σχετικών νόμων και διατάξεων. Πιο πρόσφατη είναι η πρωτοβουλία της Eurostat για σύσταση ειδικού κέντρου δεδομένων για τα απόβλητα.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Αποτελεσματικότερη χρήση της αρχής «ο ρυπαίνων πληρώνει» και εξασφάλιση χρηματοδοτικών πόρων για τη διαχείριση των αποβλήτων.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ενίσχυση δυνατοτήτων παρακολούθησης και επιθεώρησης από τα κράτη μέλη.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Αξιοποίηση της τεχνογνωσίας και των δυνατοτήτων του Ευρωπαϊκού Οργανισμού Περιβάλλοντος (ΕΟΠ), το οποίο θα ασχολείται και με ζητήματα που αφορούν τη διαχείριση αποβλήτων.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white;

Πέραν τούτου, η εταιρεία πρότεινε στην Ένωση  Δήμων ένα πακέτο δημοτικών κανονισμών για αποτελεσματικότερη  περιβαλλοντική πολιτική, τους οποίους υιοθέτησε και εφαρμόζει ήδη ο  Δήμος Γερμασόγειας.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Τέλος, ο κ.

Αυτό ίσως που  πολλοί από εμάς δεν γνωρίζουμε είναι ότι σε κάποιες από τις παραλίες  αυτές δεν θα είμαστε μόνοι μας, αφού κάθε καλοκαίρι τις επισκέπτονται  και οι θαλάσσιες χελώνες για να αφήσουν τα αυγά τους στην άμμο. Εκεί και  με την βοήθεια του ηλίου τα αυγά θα επωαστούν και ύστερα από περίπου  δυο μήνες θα βγουν από αυτά τα χελωνάκια, που με την σειρά τους θα  επιστρέψουν στην θάλασσα όπου και θα περάσουν την υπόλοιπη τους ζωή.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Στην Κύπρο γεννούν τα αυγά τους δυο είδη θαλάσσιων χελωνών από τα  επτά που είναι γνωστά στον κόσμο. Αυτές είναι η γνωστή καρέττα-καρέττα  και η πράσινη χελώνα. Οι χελώνες αυτές μπορεί να φτάσουν σε μέγεθος το  ένα μέτρο ή και περισσότερο κατά την ενηλικίωση τους ενώ ζουν μέχρι και  100 χρόνια. Η πράσινη χελώνα τρέφεται αποκλειστικά με φυτά, με  αποτέλεσμα το λίπος της να έχει πράσινο χρώμα, εξ’ ου και το όνομά της.  Αντίθετα η καρέττα-καρέττα τρέφεται με καβούρια, αστερίες, μέδουσες,  αχινούς και όστρακα. Συχνά πιάνεται σε δίκτυα ψαράδων στην προσπάθεια  της να τραφεί με ψάρια που έχουν πιαστεί σε αυτά.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Στην Κύπρο συναντούμε τις θαλάσσιες χελώνες στην περιοχή του Ακάμα,  στον κόλπο της Πόλεως Χρυσοχούς και σε περιοχές της κατεχόμενης  χερσονήσου της Καρπασίας. Από το τέλος Μαΐου μέχρι και τα μέσα Αυγούστου  οι θηλυκές χελώνες βγαίνουν στη στεριά μόνο για να γεννήσουν. Οι  επιστήμονες πιστεύουν ότι γεννούν πάντα στην παραλία που γεννήθηκαν και  οι ίδιες. Γεννούν κάθε 2-4 χρόνια και κάθε περίοδο ωοτοκίας ένα θηλυκό  μπορεί να κάνει 2-4 φωλιές. Οι χελώνες βγαίνουν από τη θάλασσα τη νύχτα,  ανοίγουν τρύπες με τα πτερύγια τους στην άμμο στο μέρος της παραλίας  όπου η άμμος είναι στεγνή, γεννούν εκεί τα αυγά τους και τα σκεπάζουν.  Σε κάθε τρύπα αφήνουν περίπου 100-120 αυγά. Αυτά θα μείνουν θαμμένα στην  άμμο για δύο μήνες και μέσα σε αυτά αναπτύσσονται τα χελωνάκια χάρη  στην θερμότητα που τους παρέχει ο καλοκαιρινός ήλιος. Τα χελωνάκια μόλις  εκκολαφθούν έχουν μέγεθος παλάμης μικρού παιδιού και μαλακό κέλυφος.  Είναι ως εκ τούτου ευάλωτα και αποτελούν εύκολη λεία για άλλα ζώα ή  πτηνά. Μοναδική τους άμυνα είναι να φτάσουν γρήγορα στο νερό.  Υπολογίζεται ότι από τα 1000 χελωνάκια που γεννιούνται μόνο ένα θα  καταφέρει να φτάσει στην ηλικία ενηλικίωσης.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continue readng:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politis-europe.com/cgibin/hweb?-A=859&amp;amp;-V=news&quot;&gt;http://www.politis-europe.com/cgibin/hweb?-A=859&amp;amp;-V=news&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/feeds/2333278594645813815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/2011/08/sea-turtles-in-cyprus.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4780143000388520196/posts/default/2333278594645813815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4780143000388520196/posts/default/2333278594645813815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mahallas.blogspot.com/2011/08/sea-turtles-in-cyprus.html' title='Sea Turtles  in Cyprus'/><author><name>n</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780143000388520196.post-809733807285716671</id><published>2011-07-26T17:51:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2011-07-26T17:51:21.748+03:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Environment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="World"/><title type='text'>Bombs or turbines?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/china7.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;306&quot; src=&quot;http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/china7.jpg&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;China values its renewable industry almost as much as it values defense.

Το Συνέδριο θα πραγματοποιηθεί στη Λάρνακα μεταξύ 6-8 Ιουλίου και αναμένεται να προσελκύσει περισσότερους από 100 εκπροσώπους κρατών που υπέγραψαν τη Σύμβαση, της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής και της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας, καθώς επίσης και Μη Κυβερνητικών Οργανώσεων.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Με αφορμή τη διοργάνωση του εν λόγω Συνεδρίου στη χώρα μας, οι Φίλοι της Γης Κύπρου, ο Πτηνολογικός Σύνδεσμος Κύπρου και το Κυπριακό Ίδρυμα Προστασίας του Περιβάλλοντος Terra Cypria χαιρετίζουν την πρωτοβουλία αυτή, ενώ παράλληλα τονίζουν ότι η επιλογή του νησιού μας ως χώρου διεξαγωγής του Συνεδρίου δεν είναι καθόλου τυχαία. Αντίθετα, η έξαρση της παράνομης παγίδευσης αποδημητικών πουλιών που παρατηρείται στη χώρα μας, απασχολεί εδώ και μια δεκαετία τη Σύμβαση. Παράλληλα, το φαινόμενο δεν αποτελεί πλέον μια παραδοσιακή πρακτική, αλλά απεναντίας λαμβάνει τρομακτικές διαστάσεις “βιομηχανικής” κλίμακας και συχνά ελέγχεται από εγκληματικά στοιχεία. Ως αποτέλεσμα, εκατοντάδες χιλιάδες πουλιά θανατώνονται κάθε χρόνο στο νησί μας, ενώ η μη-επιλεκτική φύση της παγίδευσης επιφέρει τη θανάτωση ενός τεράστιου αριθμού ειδών άγριων πουλιών, αρκετά από τα οποία απειλούνται σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Μεταξύ άλλων, στο Συνέδριο θα συζητηθεί πως μπορεί να εφαρμοστεί πιο αποτελεσματικά η νομοθεσία και πως μπορεί να ενισχυθεί η ευαισθητοποίηση του κοινού, για την προστασία των αποδημητικών πουλιών και της βιοποικιλότητας γενικά.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Οι τρεις τοπικές περιβαλλοντικές οργανώσεις που ασχολούνται ενεργά με το ζήτημα της παράνομης και μη-επιλεκτικής παγίδευσης και θανάτωσης πουλιών εύχονται ότι το Συνέδριο αυτό θα συμβάλει στην εντατικοποίηση των προσπαθειών των Κυπριακών αρχών για οριστική πάταξη του επικίνδυνου αυτού φαινομένου. Η επίδειξη μιας πιο αποφασιστικής πολιτικής βούλησης είναι αναγκαία, ενόψει της κακής εικόνας που δημιουργείται για τη χώρα μας στο εξωτερικό και των ευρύτερων επιπτώσεων που αυτή δημιουργεί.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Δευτέρα, 4 Ιουλίου 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends of the Earth Cyprus&lt;br /&gt;Address: 375B St. Andrews Street, 3035 Limassol, Cyprus&lt;br /&gt;P.O.
