Green Initiative

Umuntu usebenza nge-energy nezinto: ngaphezulu kwezigidigidi zamatoni ezinto eziqoshiwe, ezikhulayo neziphuthumayo ezivela kwiplanethi ngayinye ngonyaka, kanye nesistimu ye-power eqhubeka nomlilo we-fossil fuels ngenxa yezingxenye zayo ze-energy. I-Green Initiative ichaza ukuthi lokhu kuvelaphi, yini ebiza iplanethi, nokuthi unjiniyela angashintsha kanjani le ngxenye, kuhlanganise nocwaningo lwethu oluvulekile oluya kuhlobo olusha lwesivinini somoya.

Imibuzo esisebenza ngayo

Amasu okusebenza. Indlela ikhoyili, igesi, i-nuclear, i-hydro, umoya kanye nelanga elinganiselwe ngayo ngempela impilo yabo yonke, emithonjeni, ukuphepha nomhlaba. Funda uchazayo umthombo wokukhanya.
Uhlu lwezinhlangano ezisebenza ngezimali Ukuthi inani labantu, ukuthi sisebenzisa kanjani kanye nezobuchwepheshe ezihlangabezana nalezi zicelo zihlanganisa isandla sethu esivele sikhona eplanethini eyodwa: ukuthi iziqhingi zifundisani ngemikhawulo, kungani ukufundisa nokuhlela umndeni ngokuzithandela kubaluleke kakhulu, kungani yonke indlu idinga ukukhanya, indawo noluhlaza, nokuthi ukudla kungakhiqizwa kanjani ngendawo encane futhi ngaphandle kokuhlupheka. Funda i isibalo sabantu kanye nemithombo echazayo.
I-Fan Wall. Ingabe i-modular wall equkethe amawaka ama-fans ancane, obukhulu bezinto ezipholile zekhompyutha, zingakwenza ugesi osebenzayo emafulethini nasezindaweni zasemaphandleni? Iphrojekthi yethu yocwaningo oluvulekile, nge-mathematics namanombolo athembekile. Funda mayelana ne i-Fan Wall.
Izindlela ezihlukile, eyodwa ngayinye. Isihloko esinzulu, esivela kumthombo wemibono yonke e-radar ngezansi, esibhalwe ngokuthembeka okufanayo njenge-Fan Wall: indlela esebenza ngayo, yini eyenza iphele, yini eyenziwe ngempumelelo, yini ebiza ngayo uma kuqhathaniswa nelanga lendlu yangasese, nokuthi yini ongayidinga ukwakha isizukulwane esisha sokusebenza. Izinsimu zelanga ezikhiqiza futhi ukushisa, i-agrivoltaics, ukukhanya kwelanga okushisayo, umsinga wolwandle, intshisekelo yendwangu, izincane nezincane ze-hydro, isihlabathi kanye nokushisa amabhethri, i-ground-source heat pumps, ukushisa kokudla, i-energy kites kanye ukushintsha kwesimo sezidingo.

Indawo lapho iplanethi ihlangana khona nethegi yentengo

I-electricity ebiza kakhulu ekhiqizwa manje ivela ezindlini ezintsha zezulu nelanga eziningi emhlabeni, futhi intengo yebhethri ikhuphuke. Okusho ukuthi, i-Grid isebenza ngokuzimela futhi idinga ukuphathwa okuqinile. Lokhu kuyindawo lapho Ukusebenziseka Kwezimakethe Zomhlaba eSinansi kubaluleke kakhulu. Uhlelo oluhlanzekile futhi olubiza kakhulu aludingi ukuthuthuka.

Isikhathi setshe asiphelile ngenxa yokungakholeki kwamatshe.

I-circle enkulu yama-mirrors ezindaweni eziluhlaza ze-Andalusian farmland, zonke zibheke phambili ku-central tower lapho iphezulu likhanya khona ngokukhanya kwelanga okubomvu. — Gemasolar, eSeville eSpain: ama-mirrors angama-2,650 abheke ukukhanya kwelanga kulowo otholayo emgodini omkhulu, nama-tanks aqukethe ushukela ophukile agcina ukushisa okunembile ukuqhubeka nokukhiqiza kuze kube yizinsuku eziyi-15 ngaphandle kokukhanya kwelanga (SENER).

Izixazululo eziqinisekisiwe

Ushintsho lukhona futhi lungalinganiselwa.

I-grids ehlanzekile ikhona. Igesi yemvelo yenza amaphesenti angama-84 we-electricity yaseDenmark ngo-2000 namaphesenti angama-11 ngo-2024; i-Uruguay yasungula amandla ayo omoya ngaphansi kwekhulu; iKenya yenza cishe inhlamvu yayo ye-electricity kusuka kukushisa kweRift Valley (Our World in Data). Bona igrids eseyishintshile.
Intengo yahla. I-module yelanga ibiza amaphesenti angama-99.8 aphansi kunaye ngo-1975, futhi amaseli webhethri e-lithium-ion angaphezu kwamaphesenti angama-99 aphansi kunaye ngo-1991 (Our World in Data; Ritchie). Bona i-curve yokufunda.
Ukufundisa nokukhetha umsebenzi. EBangladesh, lapho abasebenzi bezempilo beletha khona ukuhlela umndeni ezindlini zabesifazane futhi izipho zigcina izingane ezincane ezikoleni zesikole esiphakeme, imindeni ephakathi yasuka kubantwana abayisishiyagalombili yaba yizingane ezimbili, ngokukhethwa (Ibhange Elizwe).
Izinto eziphilayo zingagcinwa futhi zibuyiselwe. I-South Korea manje isebenzisa kabusha cishe amaphesenti angama-95 wemikhiqizo yayo elahlekile, isikhala se-ozone sizovuselelwa ngemuva kokuthi izwe lisuse izidakamizwa eziwuthintayo, futhi ababusi baseNiger bakhule kabusha izinkomo eziyizigidi ezingama-200. Bona izinsiza eziqinisekisiwe zomphakathi kanye nemithombo.

Izinhlangano ezisebenza kulolu msebenzi

Izinhlangano ezingathola inzuzo ezifana ne SolarAid, Solar Sister, Practical Action, CAMFED, Room to Read kanye ne WRAP zisebenza ngalezi zinkinga ngosuku olulodwa futhi zishicilele izimpendulo zabo. Izinto ngayinye eyenza zichazwe kumakhasi amacebo okushisa ne abahlali kanye namathuluzi. Bona umsebenzi wabo futhi, uma uqiniseke ngawo, nikela kubo ngokuqondile. I Local Solar System Foundation ayisebenzisi noma iyiphi yazo futhi ayitholanga lutho kuzo; sicela ubheke izibuyekezo zanoma yiliphi iqembu ngaphambi kokunikeza.

Imibono efuna

I-Fan Wall iyimibono eyodwa. Sifuna okuningi. Izindlu zangasese zelanga ezikhiqiza ukushisa, amapaneli aphezulu kwezinkukhu nezimboni, ukushisa okugcinwe emhlabathini, amandla abuyiselwa kusuka emigodini yamanzi namapayipi, izibhamu ezifinyelela emanzini anamandla, kanye nokulinganisa isikhathi esihlakaniphile semandla esikwenzayo: ngayinye inefizikhi engokoqobo ngemuva kwayo futhi idinga ukuhlonipha umkhawulo onzima. I-radar engezansi iqhathaniswa namashumi amabili nanhlanu kuwo versus isilinganiso ngasinye isifiso kufanele sinqobe, uphahla lwelanga, futhi ngamunye uxhumana nesihloko sayo esinzulu. I isigcawu sezinto ezikhiqiza amandla sichaza indlela ngayinye kanye nokuthi yini equkethwe yimibono eqinile.

Ukusuka kumbono kuya empilweni: imithetho yokusebenza

Abanye amalungu e-Foundation bangaba nama-contacts angakutshela ukuthi bafuna umbono onamandla. Ukuthi ukhishwe, imibono idinga isebenza, imodeli yokuphila engokoqobo ekhiqiza amandla, nemiphumela yayo elinganiselwe kuthuluzi, hhayi ukubhekwa. Imibono yephepha ivunyelwe: uma uphysics namanombolo aqinile, singazishicilela lapha kwiwebhusayithi. Kodwa ukuqoqa imali engenayo ngaphandle kwemodeli esebenza kahle kunzima kakhulu, futhi akukho okuzobe kungenxa yokuhlinzekwa ngemali, ukubuyiswa noma ukungeniswa. Thumela imibono yakho.

Ungasiza kanjani

Ukuqonda amandla akho. Funda i-bill yakho ye-electricity: usebenzisa kanjani, futhi kuvelaphi amandla omthengisi wakho? Abahlinzeki abaningi bakuvumela ukuthi ukhethe amandla avuselelekayo.
Cut the waste first. Ukugqugquzela, ukuvimbela ukushisa, amathuluzi asebenza kahle kanye ne-LED bulbs yizinto ezibiza kakhulu zokusetshenziswa kwengcindezi.
Isixazululo, sebenzisa kabusha, uthathe. Imikhiqizo eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka yiyona ehlala isikhathi eside; i-greenest yesithathu iyiyona ehlukaniswe.
Usizo lwezakhiwo zomphakathi. Izinhlelo zelanga nezulu, kanye namapaneli esitezi esiphezulu ezikoleni nasezindaweni zokudlela, zigcina imali nogesi endaweni. Buza ikomiti lakho ngazo.
Bhele nemibono. Abanjiniyela, abakhiqizi kanye nabafundi banganikeza indlela engcono yokukwenza, ukulondoloza noma ukonga amandla nge-ifomu lokunikela, noma basize ukuhlela nokuvavanya i-Fan Wall.
Nsiza ucwaningo. Wonke umuntu angasiza ukubuyekeza, ukuhumusha nokuhlukanisa ngebhodi le-contribution board.
