Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished).




Solar energy!

Solar energy is the energy derived from the sun through the form of solar radiation. Solar powered electrical generation relies on photovoltaics and heat engines.
A partial list of other solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, daylighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, and high temperature process heat for industrial purposes.
To capture solar energy the best resurces are photovoltaics panels,
wicht aren't very expensive, and the rate of "sucess" isn't exciting...
Anyway, we all should fell a bit satisfied by knowing that, progress is being made to reduce the number of fossil fuel used...



Fossil fuels!
Fossil fuel are the most used energy resucess since they had been discovered.
unfortunatly they aren't very environment friendly, and they are not renewable...
Man kind should be soo dependent on them, 'cause some day, not very far, they will be gone!
By that day we will be finely comited to discover and explor renewable energy...
But, progress are already been made in that area, anyway they are to expensive at this time, in a way that it isn't at everyone's service.

Alternatives to Animal Experiments

Thanks to advances in modern technology and a growing number of scientists engaged there are alternatives to animal experimentation. These alternatives, secure, innovative and reliable, not only saved the lives of animals, but often also provide the necessary information in a short time and at lower cost than traditional animal tests.
Although many scientists conclude that no alternative non-animal so far developed can completely replace animal tests.
Companies are able to avoid animal tests to have confidence in a range of non-animal alternatives, including in vitro technology .
Save Animals!
Avoid products that are tested in animals...





Would you still use your products if you knew that some animals were
killed to conceive it?

Animal Testing

Animal testing is cruel... even if it means progress to medicin! Animals are living beings like us, and we don't believe that humans would like to be used in research for medical progress, our to test beauty products...
we should not establish differences between the spieces used,
ans the test made...
All animals should be respected and scientist should focus in finding a way to test
their products without hurting animals...

Vegetarian Diet

Human beings do not need to eat meat in order to maintain good health because they can get all their food needs from meatless products and meatless substances. A vegetarian diet is not in fact a real solution... what we can do instead is avoid killing animals to "feed" the fashion world, and to "feed" hunting sports.
Animals should be respected as the living creatures they are, in the way that we all should feel guilt and sorrow for the already extint spieces and the ones who are being threatened.

Energy Dependence

Energy is in everything. We use energy to do everything we do, from baking our favourite cookies to sending astronauts into space -- energy is there, making sure we have the power to do it all. We should save more energy, if we continue to use it like we have been, in a few years we will not have energy to turn on our TV`s, we are too dependent on energy sources in the way that if we need to face energy crisis we are doomed...



Struggle against Pollution

Until we all decide to change the way that we live day-to-day, the environment will become progressively worse. Nowdays we expend more resources and energy than ever, and if we continue like that, the environment will not last. We have to take measures, we have to stop the environment suffering, we have to do something and very quick...
We can not only think about ourself, we must think also about the generations to come. Our planet shouldn´t be treated this way. We should all come together in the way that we most grow stronger with the porpose of saving Planet Earth.

How it is...
How it should be.


The ugly truth!
