About our project


I'm the leader of Zero Garbage. I had the idea of Zero garbage, I liked the idea because the garbage is a serious problem. Additional I search information to have a good project.
Our project is growing in a variety of projects that essentially take unwanted trash and convert it into usable energy.

Why?
Because when we throw our garbage away, the garbage goes to landfills. Landfills are those big hills that you go by on an expressway that stink. They are full of garbage. The garbage is then sometimes burned. This sends an enormous amount of greenhouse gasses into the air and makes global warming worse.

Some companies are trying to solve the problem. IST Company create The Green Energy Machine can use a building’s trash and convert it into heat and energy. This invention will not only cut utility costs, but also reduce the amount that needs to be spent on trash collection. The unit will convert 95% of the trash into energy while the other 5% is ash. Others companies transform the garbage in oil.

About our proyect

Does Garbage Have A Future?

One of the areas of mounting concern on the Planet is the huge amount of 'single use' plastic and paper garbage that is being discarded in landfills or incinerated. It is becoming very clear that humanity needs to reduce the proliferation of garbage in order to create a sustainable solution for the Planet. For many, the lifestyle change to support significant reductions of garbage on Earth may sound radical, but there appears to be no other alternative that will generate a solution that is sustainable.

To significantly reduce worldwide garbage society will need to eliminate most of the 'one time use' packaging, implement 100% recycling programs, design products to use recyclable materials, and concentrate on the utilisation of sustainable organics (wood, wool, cotton, silk, etc) in manufactured products.

Currently, the world response to solving the problems of garbage is only 5% of what it needs to be in order to protect the Planet. One alternative could be to sit back and do nothing about garbage, but this is not a feasible approach anymore, even from an economic perspective. Many countries are running out of landfill sites to dispose of their garbage, so a solution has to be found, and necessity is becoming the economic driver for this.

Implementing a global conservation approach would probably reduce garbage by 40-60%. Significant emphasis on the implementation of minimalist packaging for consumer products, fast food, groceries, etc. would produce huge reductions in garbage. The ultimate goal is that when you finish an activity like eating, or cleaning your house, or buying a consumer appliance, the only garbage is organic and therefore biodegradable, and the containers / shipping pallets that were used are made from reusable glass or plastic that is highly recyclable/washable for use again at the supermarket or store. This means that standardised reusable packaging and containers need to be developed, and much more bulk distribution of products to the consumer has to be the way forward. More emphasis on corner stores for fresh local baked goods, local produce, local meats would also reduce shipping waste and packaging.

In the near future, the clear winners in the corporate world will be the companies that can design their products or services to be profitable and at the same time have close to zero impact on the environment. Those CEO's and Managing Directors that don't push their organisations in the direction of product or service offerings that eliminate or reduce garbage and pollution will find themselves without any markets to sell to. Society's realisation of the magnitude of change required to save the Planet, and the urgent need to find companies that can respond to this, is creating a new economic reward system and a new group of significant growth companies.

You-Turn the Earth!

PrintSend to a friend Do you want our leaders to do something about global warming? The biggest chance we have is the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen in December. But our leaders are only going to act if we demand it. YOU can help turn things around.

Join the global movement to save the climate. YoU-Turn the Earth!


Our best chance to take action against global warming is coming up in December, when the nations of the world gather for a UN Climate summit in Copenhagen.

We want world leaders to be there personally.

We want them to make the right deal for the climate.

And we have a checklist by which their success can be measured:

◦Make sure emissions peak in 2015 and decrease as rapidly as possible towards zero after that
◦Developed countries must make cuts of 40 percent on their 1990 carbon emisisons by 2020
◦Developing countries must slow the growth of emissions by 15-30 percent by 2020, with support from industrialised nations
◦Protect tropical forests with a special funding mechanism - forests for climate
◦Replace dirty fossil fuel energy with renewable energy and energy efficiency
◦Reject false solutions like nuclear energy

Sergey Korolyov


Sergey Pavlovich Korolyov was the head Soviet rocket engineer and designer during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. He is considered by many as the father of practical astronautics.
Although trained as an aircraft designer, Korolyov's greatest strengths proved to be in design integration, organization and strategic planning. A victim of Stalin's 1938 Great Purge, he was imprisoned for almost six years, including some months in a Kolyma gulag. Following his release, he became a rocket designer and a key figure in the development of the Soviet ICBM program. He was then appointed to lead the Soviet space program, given the rank of Academician (Member of Soviet Academy of Sciences), overseeing the early successes of the Sputnik and Vostok projects. By the time he died unexpectedly in 1966, his plans to compete with the United States to be the first nation to land a man on the Moon had begun to be implemented.
Before his death he was often referred to only as "Chief Designer", because his name and his pivotal role in the Soviet space program had been held to be a state secret by the Politburo.
Only many years later was he publicly acknowledged as the lead man behind Soviet success in space.

Electronics Engineering is an engineering discipline which uses the scientific knowledge of the behavior and effects of electrons to develop components, devices, systems, or equipment (as in electron tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, and printed circuit boards) that uses electricity as part of its driving force. Both terms denote a broad engineering field that encompasses many subfields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering telecommunications , and semiconductor circuit design amongst many others.

The term also covers a large part of electrical engineering degree courses as studied at most European universities. In the U.S., however, electrical engineering implies all the wide electrical disciplines including electronics. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is one of the most important and influential organizations for electronic engineers. Indian universities have separate department for "Electronics Engineering".
