Created something truly in the rankings not too much as i was destroyed. By a man to my cities days 1st century and the company of my country. Until the day i mean leave. Not to have done differently stands in for a. Melting glaciers michael plastics in the ocean and fires in the amazon news about Climate Change is disturbing and often contradictory especially on social media still the online world of as many ways to get reliable info and get active digital Environmental Protection our topic today on shift. I know my own eco balance as well roughly the average german produces 9 tons of c o 2 per year and each european generates some 24. 00 kilos of Plastic Waste to me that sounds like a lot but how bad is it by comparison in india the average person produces just 11 kilos of Plastic Waste but where does my garbage actually go and how much plastic winds up in the worlds oceans 8000000 tons a year thats what Science Magazine estimates environmental pollution and Climate Change are global issues so its not just me experts also want to get their hands on reliable data i am. All the. Plastic all over. But this is the 3 i mean it is trying to make that dream come true at the alfred vigna institute for polar and Marine Research in. Shes part of a team of scientists who are analyzing the increasing pollution of the oceans they have compiled their results and created an online world map thats accessible to everyone. I mean a tech Months Research focuses on the question where does the Plastic Waste in the oceans come from shes helping to program the litter. A state of bank to present this information in a form thats easy to understand. Our basic idea is. And the best way is to create some maps and some graphs litter base is an online database thats open to everyone graphic show the results of more than a 1000 scientific studies on a world map its easy to see where Research Expeditions have already taken place. The latest results from the world wide Scientific Community are regularly fed into the database the aim is to make the global issue of marine pollution more accessible and easily understood including to nonscientists. More especially because of. People like to have picked these maps graphs. The Global Forest change database at the university of maryland also uses a map to show the state of the worlds forests since 2013 users have been able to call up info based on satellite images they can see the effects of forest fires illegal logging and reforestation over long periods. The Global Forest watch platform is also dedicated to protecting forests and their inhabitants it combines Satellite Technology with open data and crowdsourcing. Temperatures c o 2 levels and even current weather phenomena can be found on the website earth now. Here u. S. Space agency nasa presents comprehensive satellite data and real time you can track how tropical storms are forest fires like here in australia are developing on earth now. Various natural disasters are also explained. The Alfred Baker Institute also plans to incorporate non scientifically compiled data Melanie Backman wants holiday makers to upload observations about beaches and coastlines kind of a theme on the topic of marine letter in particular things itself well to citizen scientists because trash is something everyone can relate to everyone knows what a bottle or a plastic bag is and this helps us to cover a much better area geographically and to better fill in the white spots we still have on our map. For as a citizen scientist i can help organizations collect reliable Information Online a good example is the app literati it lets ordinary folks document cases of environmental pollution and invite others to help clean them up. Information is important but taking action is vital. Theres no excuse for saying you dont know how to help it specially after the show you innovative ideas which make it even easier to help save the planet. They could be anywhere from 862150 1000000 tons of waste plastic and. Its collected that since the material became popular in the 1950 s. Fishing it out using conventional methods would take decades and cost billions. On a Digital Solution intelligent. To receiving relevant data. The data is provided in real time via satellite. The spanish project c o 2 revolution aims to reclaim the rain forest with the help of high tech. He watched waves of the far east have been destroyed in recent decades. Revolution has developed an intelligent seed called i seed its launched from grow which can cover huge areas quickly the greens have access to data like soil conditions and climates and use g. P. S. To plant the right seeds in the right place. Nigerian firm has developed a method of bringing energy to remote regions of africa using. The electricity comes from a solar panel on the roof the mobile phone functions as a Power Distribution center and an electric meter making callous stations and electrical grid soon. Some 400000 people now receive Green Electricity this way. The effects of. Experienced differently. In the places where most of the ways this created in 2017 germany exported 24. 3. 1000000 tons of its trash the industrialized nations of Northern Hemisphere produce the most c o 2 but they havent yet experienced the devastating effects of Climate Change felt by those in the solve but Digital Solutions can help those hardest hit. A season rivers where once found there is now only arid desert. Climate change is already a reality in east africa and its endangering the livelihoods of herders in the region. If theres no water their herds die after a scout is an app which helps africas herders track down increasingly rare sources of water using the latest satellite data. Climate change is also affecting africas farmers extreme weather such as long periods of drought interventions storms are causing damage like theyve never seen before. Thats where the agric sap comes in and helps farmers to recognise pests and plant diseases early so they can save their crops the app uses a so every time its used its database expands and is prognoses improve. In south america the destruction of the rain forest is a major problem now a digital Warning System should help brazilian Environmental Research institute hi pam fight fire clearing. Not only can smartphones warn about these fires theyre also a weapon in the battle against deforestation because the quicker the fires are reported the quicker they can be put out. Sharing is caring can sometimes apply in the Digital World to every piece of information that uses positon can help people directly unlike my last cell feed on instagram so what can i do personally to actively protect the environment and call a Climate Change tons of local projects and even apps that can help you do your bit if you that we. Its specially interesting. Its all started with the big cleanup dr sim beilin but putting out an online call to combat pollution locally was only the beginning for plan a. It see no nos that solving big problems requiring as big. Claimant change is not one problem climate is a lot of problems that are intertwined and our. Actually in this complexity we use the data to pinpoint exactly the locations and the types of issues that happen around the world that need to be immediately acted on. The plan and based startup analyzes danger from Research Institutions around the world based on its findings turn a contacts Individuals Companies and Community Groups in the affected areas the only prerequisite is that they want to do something to combat Climate Change plan any publicizes their projects and allows users to help fund them every plan is thoroughly checked for its viability and transparency. Then theres the eco enter your daily habits with a few clicks and the app will calculate your Carbon Footprint and show you how to string it. It also invites you to be a tri met hero by supporting Carbon Offset projects that help people and the planet. The c o 2 tracking at free for a storm also focuses on individual consumption you can use the app to create a manage your own forest thereby reducing your Carbon Footprint everyone can do something to save the planet. The climate protection has made. Clear what they need to do i think because of the language that is being used we speak. In a way that doesnt this is certainly explain to people. We should be focusing on vices rather than. Big words about. The Digital World is full of good intentions but can we really stop the destruction of the environment and Climate Change online its a bit paradoxical after all the internet itself consumes vast amounts of energy and mountains of discarded smartphones part of the problem not the solution yet Digital Technologies could play a major role 1st big data can help us reach a greater scientific awareness Climate Change is a global phenomenon so gathering huge amounts of data from around the world is vital 2nd they could help to relieve some of the worst effects for instance through real time analysis which could help get aid to affected areas quickly and 3rd and this is where we come in my absence platforms users can contribute directly whether by collecting data or helping right where its needed for instance i could do my part by joining a local organization whats your contribution to combat in Climate Change let us know if for example.
