In Conclusion....

I have seeked to find new and exciting ways of conserving and recycling. I gave tips, links, and so on. Recycling and conservation truly can be fun for people, and great for the earth. People need to realize that simple everyday things we do, really effect the way we live, our bodies, minds, and most important our earth. The world we live in produces so many toxins, products that cannot be decomposed, diseases etc... We are fueling these causes, and we need to make a change. I hope that with my blog I have showed some easy, fun ways for people to get a start on being more green, and helping our planet. Just little things around home, school, or the office, can make a big change.

Flash-lights...lights..lights...

BMW and SIEMENS has worked together, and created a new type of traffic light that may help save time, fuel, and lives. The two companies have unveiled a system of networked traffic lights that can communicate with nearby cars to warn them about road conditions, help them better use anti-idling features, but that can also learn about traffic patterns from those cars and adjust cycling times to optimize traffic flow, saving time and fuel. The idea of Car2Car talk has been brought up as well. Car2Car talk means that cars would be able to warn each other, in other sense 'talk' to each other. This could mean that a car slipping on black ice could warn cars behind it about the traction conditions so they could know to slow down and be careful.

Street lights sensor when it turns dark outside, causing them to turn on. They stay lit for about 6-12 hours each day. In many places, such as Barcelona, LED sensor street lights have been installed. These lights detect when someone is walking by and then automatically switch on. Depending on the distance of the person and the time of year, the lights adjust the amount of light emitted. This system has reduced power consumption by 30 percent. Why isn't everyone doing this?
