New Green ThoughtsSaving the environment one word at a time

We have seen the evolution of the standard urinals towards the much publicized waterless urinals. Especially focused on the commercial places, men can go to the comfort room without worrying about flushing it and contracting germs in the process. If you will notice it normally says that “This Urinals save 60,000 gallons of water” and so forth. Quite impressive if you talk about conserving water through constant flushing of toilets.

And now the drawback. How about the women? How will they experience the waterless urinal technology if they don’t have one especially made for the female population? This is perhaps one thing waterless urinals failed to consider. Just like men, women go to the urinals as well so how are they to conserve water if they use the standard toilets that have to be flushed to avoid the stinking smell of personal waste?

In all, it seems that this is a critical drawback as far as catering to water conservation for all. Women cannot experience the intent of conserving water with this limitation. In fact, how can the developers do it while at the same time making sure that unwanted odors do not smell while conserving water at the same time?

We hear and read from the news that the world is going green. Many large countries have undergone various initiatives such as:

1. Using Alternative Energy
2. Alternative Fuel or Biodiesel
3. Energy Conservation
4. Waste Management and Segregation
5. Buying Organic

These are perhaps the top things we hear today. But as far as the capacity to sustain these things in the world today, third world countries are sure to encounter a lot of problems. If there is one thing that stops poorer countries from wanting to go green, it is the matter of financial capacity to sustain these practices that also require the need for proper budgeting to follow the green rules and standards we know of today.

Third world countries such as the Philippines and Vietnam can go green but perhaps to only a certain level. Waste segregation and energy conservation can be done on their own without the use of further resources that have been set out in the market. It is all really based on proper awareness and education.

If there is one thing that local folks would perhaps need is the manner of orientation and education from the professionals. Seminars and potent solutions that can be shown by the people who have dedicated themselves towards helping the green movements will really be a welcome note if and when they become available.

This is not to downgrade the local educational nature of their societies. But just like in the way of learning, people need to be made aware of current trends for them to be able to understand fully what eco-friendliness is really about.
