Kids for Earth

Imagine the hugeness of Climate Change.
You can’t.
The changes are small, but they add up. Al Gore described this well in ‘An Inconvenient Truth’; if you put a frog in a boiling pot of water, the frog will react immediately. But if you put the same frog in a pot of cool water, then slowly heat it up, the frog won’t notice anything. Then he likens us to the frog.
The thing is, Climate Change is much bigger than some people perceive it to be. And if adults have trouble imagining how big Climate Change is, imagine a kid trying to get his head around it.
So NASA have made a website for children to understand Climate Change. They break it down into smaller pieces we can imagine.
There are loads of cool stuff, and the website is really well built, with lots of animations and drawings.
Well worth visiting :

Yesterday, Gabriel and me traveled to Forest Research Institution Malaysia aka FRIM to give RM 2000 To MNS. We handed the money to Gary Phong ;Chairman of MNS Selangor Branch and stayed for a part of the guiding workshop where we learned about the most common animals you find in Malaysia and safety while traveling in the forest. Thanks you to MNS!

A rotating tower? Man, it’s a shame the apartments cost around 36 million     dollars. First to be built in Dubai this eco friendly power should be able to   power not only itself but some other buildings nearby making it the first self  powered skyscraper in history. How will such a tower manage such a fate?  Between each level is a wind turbine and on the roof of each floor, solar panels will capture the suns heat.

This giant rubix cube is the worlds first tower to be built in a factory. Only the enormous, central pillar will be built on site. Whats even more intriguing is that all the furniture will be shipped with the levels!

Living inside the Dynamic tower will be like nothing ever before. The levels will have a voice activated control system so that if you call out city view, the level will rotate at your command. I would love to live in that tower!

Hello again

Hello!

Response wasn’t as good as we hoped, but we will use the posters for our talks.
