How to make our future Less Bleak by using technology!!!! (TED TALKS)

This planet doesn’t need us to survive, we need this planet to survive. So over here I would like to talk about the route to a sustainable future . In this truly dynamic world of ours there have been some major flaws such as Ecology footprints have had a major impact on the vegetation and plants of our planet.

In addition to that all the waste stuff which is produced by our society has a major impact on the environment which may not be very evident to us at the time when we are dumping that waste but from which our coming generations and even us in the near future will suffer from. Secondly our planet has been used in the most imbalanced way which is disturbing our environment to a substantial degree.

We have been growing up in a different way especially when one compares it to how our own parents grew up and the generations before them. The world is growing at a pace which is simply mind-boggling. The pace of change is so rapid that new technology is there one moment and outdated in the next. So in a nutshell the world is changing day by day and it is indeed quite challenging and difficult to meet these challenges. All of this has resulted in producing a massive amount of trash which is harming our plants, forests, ocean life to name a few.

So how do we get rid of all that waste or even better to use it in a way which is beneficial for the society. Well one way of using waste is to convert it. There are numerous projects going on in the world where plastic and other wasteful materials are being recycled. Indeed there are even bricks being made out of waste now-a-days to help build houses for the poor. I would like to discuss one such process over here which is being implemented abroad and which we can adopt in our own country to reduce the waste.

Recently a British company named Advanced Plasma Power (APP) claims to have come up with a solution that is clean, efficient and creates almost no by-products. Their demonstration plant in Swindon is trialling a process that could eventually transform landfill and incineration into memories of a wasteful past. What basically this APP plant does it is that it sorts recyclables from general waste, then shreds the leftovers and dries them in an oven. The dehydrated pellets are then put into a cylinder called a fluid bed gasifier. There is a bed of sand in the chamber that, when hit by jets of steam and oxygen becomes “fluidised”. The highly energetic sand breaks apart the molecular bonds in the rubbish, leaving behind a gas which is mostly hydrogen and carbon monoxide, but also contains ash and other complicated organic materials. This gas is then fed into a compartment where it is essentially hit with a lightning bolt. The massive electrical charge turns it into plasma. This separates out the impurities creating a clean stream of gas as well as a stable, vitrified substance that holds all the potentially nasty heavy metals.APP call it Plasmarok. In addition to that the UK Environment agency has approved Plasmarok as a safe material for use as a building aggregate.
