When we started developing the website, we read the posts of Rosane regarding Environment & Manking in our orkut community. She reflects the things so nicely that it is understood very easily by all. So, an idea came to our mind to present her knowledge and innovation through blogs by attaching it to our website. In this way, we can help lots of people (that is the mission of our group).

When we sent her a mail discussing this idea, we got a reply in a day. You yourself read her views on writing the blog:

"The peace I have today is different from the peace I’ve dreamed one day.
Only with time, have I learned that peace is to take responsibilities and fulfill them; is to have serenity in the most difficult moments of life.
Today I want to hear and speak words that build. I want to have the courage to cry or to smile whenever I feel like doing it...
I want to accept with humbleness that I don’t know everything, but I want to share the little I know.
I like to remember that nature is so exuberant exactly because the differences it shows in its creatures. Each one of us is special, on Earth, and we have the mission that the Divine Creator has entrusted us.
I want to bring: peace, joy and much news."

"The helium gas is running out."


Exploring the Earth's natural resources allows mankind to achieve increasing levels of comfort. Given the
abundance of riches offered by nature, humanity always took advantage as if the dowry was inexhaustible.
Today we know that most of the natural resources of which humans depend on to maintain their standard of life can disappear in a relatively short time - and it is urgent to avoid waste.
Here's another example of mankind uses natural resources as they were inexhaustible.
"The helium gas is running out," says Nobel-winning physicist.

 Reserves would be exhausted in 25 years. Element is used in complex equipment and has no substitute!
In an interview with British magazine New Scientist, Robert Richardson, Nobel Prize winner for Physics in 1996 for his work with atoms of helium-3, said helium gas reserves are running out, and that the solution is to increase the price. "In 25 years we won’t have more helium gas," he said.
Helium is the second most abundant substance in the universe - 24% by mass of the Milky Way galaxy is formed by the element - but on Earth the only way to get it is through the exploration of rocks. The largest reserve in the world with one billion cubic meters, is located in the United States, and is controlled by the U.S. government, which maintains fixed gas prices.
The major problem of the end of the helium is not the end of the balloons at birthday parties. Magnetic resonance equipment, nuclear reactors and space telescopes use components that can only be cooled with liquid helium. How is the element with a lower boiling point, 267 ° C below zero, has no substitute. Nor is it possible to extract it from the air at affordable prices (Richardson speaks on values 10 000 times greater than today), or produce it artificially.
The solution, according to Richardson, is taking reservations from government and let prices follow the law of supply and demand. "Probably the party balloons will cost $ 100, not three dollars, but we'll have to live with that."

  2. The fact is that, no body can avoid this destruction, just because of human incapability.
