Sustainable living a life style that require less energy consumption and don’t contribute to Greenhouse Gas(GHG) emission and pollution (Global warming). Today individuals and corps are generating tons of waste in the environment streets, canals, rivers and oceans.
According to the World Bank “Currently, about 2.01 billion metric tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) are produced annually worldwide. The World Bank estimates overall waste generation will increase to 3.40 billion metric tons by 2050. An estimated 13.5% of today’s waste is recycled and 5.5% is composted. The report estimates that between one-third and 40% of waste generated worldwide is not managed properly and instead dumped or openly burned.”
Energy Poverty and Waste Polution vicious cycle are two of the major challenges affecting Sustainable Development in the developing nations today
Sustainable living applications one can apply to reduce the use of the earth natural resources and improve your life style
Plastic bottles monetization and Waste Processing
- GQS Network is Collecting and monetizing plastic bottles, a good source of income for the poor plastic collectors and to keep the environment clean
- a good source of income for the poor and work to make a sustainable living
- Globally about 15M people make a living collecting and sorting bottles
- The poorest people are disproportionately affected by pollution, dispose of waste correctly don’t burn it openly
- Don’t burn waste or dumped it near homes and affect the ecosystems.
- Plastic bottles can be used to make shelter, create shading and seperation in chicken cage or in homes
Electricity
775M people living without electricity; Lack of electricity also affect community development, Renewable Energy (RE) systems generally take advantage of the appropriate RE; sustainable development is not possible without electrification
- Wind power and Hydropower,
- Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power
- a combination of RE technologies to generate reliable electricity
Climate Change and extreme weather, and Agriculture Let’s fight climate change
- Drought and poor agriculture, poorest people are most negatively affected
- Rising sea level destroy home and livelihood
- Sustainable agriculture and organic agriculture to improve crop yield
Deforestation
- Efficient cook stove to reduce biomass usage and save money
- Use propane gas cook stove minimize deforestation
- Use Solar Thermal cook stove minimized deforestation
Shelter sustainable energy efficient and zero energy
- Sustainable Homes
- PV Solar Grid Connected and Off-Grid Homes
- Solar thermo water heating and pool heating
- Zero energy Homes, to help decrease GHG emission
Water, Efficient use of water
- Low Flow High Performance shower head
- Solar thermal water heater
- Horizontal Axis washing machine is more efficient then vertical axis
- Harvest Rain water to reduce water usage, and to keep rain water from going to sewages and rivers
Poultry chicken Farming
- Raising chickens for egg and meat
- Profit from raising chicken to sale
- Incorporate chicken production with farming corn to feed them
Community sustainable development is not possible without electrification; GQS Network Org School Solar Electrication project at Ca Elie School Cornillon Grand Bois Haiti, donated and installed a solar PV System to provide electriity to the students, school adminstration and the community.The system will provide ligthing, power for computers, appliances and Cell Phones and tablets.
