Pyramid City

Nature The biodiversity of our nature is strongly declining. We know it’s no good to throw all our rubbish away in nature and we also know we can not live without the nature at this moment. But what about the future? Will we be able to live without it, or will we be able to copy the environment of the nature? Will there be deserts in Spain, due to the global warming and in Brazil where there used to be rainforests? Will the animals that are living on our world still be living here, or will there just be some kind of holograms hanging above us? Will there still be parks in the cities? Problems and solutions There are certainly a lot of issues about the environment of our world. But is every issue a problem? Climate changes, for instance, have been going on for decades. It’s not the Co2 that is changing the climate, but it is taking away our oxygen. If all the nature disappears we wont have any oxygen left. That’s why nature is so important. Things that are influenced by the climate change are our rainforests and deserts. Huge deserts are rising up where there used to be forests. The rainforests are disappearing. The climate change is taking our hart away. Without oxygen no life, not for us, not for the animals. It’s not just the climate change that causes the disappearing of the forests, it is us as well. People cut the woods to make themselves some living space or some space to produce there own food, because they’re to poor to buy some food. Now that’s what we can reduce by, for example, the pyramid cities. No woods have to be cut down do give millions of people a home. Another issue is that all these people need water. You might think there’s water enough, but we can’t drink seawater. Instead of giving people our fresh and clean water, we go and make our products with it. There are hardly any products that aren’t made with water. A solution could be using the seawater for that. But using this water isn’t that safe either. Every year, 14 billions pounds of sewage, sludge, oil and garbage are dumped into the world's oceans. Just to show you how much rubbish is dumped into the oceans: some time ago there was an article in the newspaper about a place in an ocean where all the plastic came floating together. Nobody knew how this was possible, it just happened. But the point is that this place was more then 16 times as big as the Netherlands!! You can’t tell me that this wasn’t discovered earlier. This shows us just how much plastic we dump into the seas. And this is just a small part of all the rubbish. Solution: try not to throw everything away. You could recycle it for example. Or make your own toys. Every day, the average person inhales about 20,000 litres of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air. Forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal, evaporation of organic compounds, and natural radioactivity are all among the natural causes of air pollution. These don’t form a major threat to human health or ecosystem. Burning fuels is one of the biggest problem caused by humans that pollutes the air. Diseases such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and heart disease may all eventually appear in people exposed to air pollution. Input control involves preventing a problem before it occurs, or at least limiting the effects the process will produce. Five major input control methods exist. People may try to restrict population growth, use less energy, improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and move to non-polluting renewable forms of energy production. Not only we, the humans, need water and oxygen, but what about the animals? There are more animals on this planet then human beings. Yet we want more space to live and more luxuries and so on. Will we drive those animals from there nature, from there homes? We can create their old living area in the pyramid city. They will have their own floor. Which has a jungle or desert, depending on the animal kind. They can’t see us but we can sea them. There are no walls for the animals, but for us there are the ground moves in a particular way so they can go where ever they want, for hunting and drinking. It could be as big as Serengeti. Of course those animals can’t be touched. So for the children and other animal lovers there will be pet holograms. The great thins about that is that you don’t have feed them and you can choose what ever animal you want. It feels just like a real pet and is just as nice. What do we do if we want a bit of quietness? Well we go to the parks of course. As soon as you enter them you’ll be out of the business of the city. Just the sound of a nice river floating by and children playing. There will also be sport fields around, but you won’t be able to hear all the yelling and screaming of those people in the park. Oxygen supplies All these living things need oxygen. There is nobody who can live without it. In the future there will be a kind of machine that copies photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria’s use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. These machines copy this process and gives us not just oxygen, but also our sugar supplies. Plants won’t be required to help produce oxygen and sugar. This is the overall reaction of the process: 6H2O + 6CO2 -------> C6H12O6+ 6O2 http://library.thinkquest.org/26026/Environmental_Problems/environmental_problems.html
