made by Solar power, the Hydrogen fuel cell, Wind
and Minihydro electric power, and the use of Hybrid Electric and Fuel cell
cars. We promote the protection of the environment and specifically, Beavers
and the wetlands they live in. A Beaver pond is the home of thousands
of species of animals plants and insects, and when Beavers are chased away
or killed, all those other life forms lose their home too. If Humans
want to survive, we will have to be symbiotic, not parasitic in our behavior.
We will have to adjust our behavior to the demands of nature and reach a balance
where we can survive without destroying our precious natural resourses.
Electricity is made by running a generator on gas or oil, the result is
pollution in the form of carbon monoxide, like what comes out of the tailpipe
of a car. The exhaust is cancerous, and makes people sick, some of them die.
Same with burning coal, giant turbines are run by the heat from burning coal
and lots of soot and dangerous pollutants come out the smokestack and those
who live nearby breathe it and can get very sick. Also mercury is a
by product of coal mining, it gets into the water, often the companies just
dump it into a nearby river, killing fish and mutating frogs, and then from
the smokestack of the generators soot gets all over everything nearby, in
the air, soil, water and is absorbed right through your skin. Your cells have
just so much tolerance for this material, and the stress causes cancer, causes
the cells to mutate, and die, then you can get very sick. That way
to make electricity is an old fashioned idea, and the new technology has
made it obsolete, we don't need to burn things to make electricity anymore,
but the rich people who own these companies don't care, its all documented
and true, see the How Can Bush Not Be Pro Beaver Article on the top right
of the home page, that explains how carbon is causing the planet's atmosphere
to heat up, and its getting dangerous.
Over 10,000 people died in France
this summer(2003) from excess heat, caused by all this extra carbon in the
atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, oil, gas and coal. The ice is melting
in the north and south pole and this makes the ocean level rise. Coastal areas
like New York and California will eventually be underwater if this continues.
Sooner than you would think. Its a catastrophe of a planetary scale, and
we Humans are causing it. It’s a science fiction story come to life, and
it does not have a happy ending. BEAVER POWER! is the concept that
with a huge mass marketing campaign, it is possible to educate peole world-wide
about Solar Power, the Hydrogen Fuel Cell, Wind Power and Minihydro Electric
Power, which will lead to actual use. These new technologies work just
fine and don't cause pollution. Which means no carbon and cancerous gasses.
Cleaner air, water soil and food. Less cancer and bronchial problems
from breathing crap. Healthier humans and all life in general.
So my idea is that if we can access the 75 billion dollars that American
teenage girls spend each year on clothes and whatnot by selling T-shirts and
clothing carrying the BEAVER POWER! brand logo, then we can use this money
to buy solar panels, Fuel cells and other Renwable energy equiptment, give
it away randomly to Americans who need it, regular folks like you and me,
and small businesses, then hire a publisist to publicize it and have a press
conference each time we do it, get it into magazines and newspapers, and
on TV, then people will do it themselves. We will also fund education and
work programs to teach people about the benefits of RE(Renewable Energy) and
inspiring people to find a career in this new growing industry. Manufacturing
the equiptment (Solar and whatnot) will increase, the price of Solar panels
will go down and more people will be able to afford to do it, then the air,
water, soil, and your body will be cleaner period.
Also we want girls to realize they can do something about the world they
live in, help them become consumers with a conscience. When women do anything
eveyone pays attention, so lets have all you wonderful young ladies who want
to help actally be responsible for the clean up by helping to pay for it,
all for the price of a T-shirt, hat, sweatshirt, whatever. You fabulous Ladies
will buy stuff anyway, so why not do something important like clean up the
environment and raise peoples awareness about how important it is to your
health to do that. We'd also like to get people in the entertainment field(Rock
and Roll, TV, Movies and Sports) to help promote it, cuz they have such a
big audience and people listen when they speak. Soon cars and cell phones
and Laptops will be powered by the hydrogen fuel cell, and the by-product
is water vapor. You cannot get cancer from water vapor.
It always takes time to transition from one technology to the next(Water
power became steam power, then came burning coal, then gas and oil, and now
Solar, Wind, Minihydro and Fuel Cells.) Only now we can make the electricty
we have become dependent on to run our refrigerators and CD players without
harming the environment. And none too soon. Pollution has reached a dangerous
level, and we are causing the 6th mass extinction of life on this planet,
soon we will have killed all the animals and plants, and these things take
millions of years to come back. So it is an emergency, especially after the
Black Out this summer, when 50 million people lost power.
We also want successful women to encourage all women and girls to be positive
and successful, no matter what obstacles or bad experiences they've had, and
start there own businesses and to run them with compassion and fairness, instead
of working for a giant corporation which doesn't care about people at all,
only productivity. The point is, its important to care about the Planet your
living on, and do something about it that will work, not just talk.
