		<description><![CDATA[Alternative Energy Consultants in Zimbabwe have embarked on a project “Saving power with a positive environmental impact” The aim of this project is to reduce the load on the national grid. Our presentation “ Walking with lights” is a story about the journey of a light bulb and how by changing 1 light we can improve rural health and education reduce the environmental problems being faced in Zimbabwe and bring quality of life to all citizens. Ultimately we are striving to be a Green country leading Africa in this quest.

We are open to all advice that may help us achieve this.

Our project partners are, Zimbabwe democratic development trust (ZDDT), Rotary club of Borrowdale Brooke, And Alternative Energy Consultants.

		<description><![CDATA[Capture of CO2 isn&#039;t paradigm shifting, that&#039;s what the (Fritz) Haber process is. He, with the industrial-sizing of his tabletop chemistry trick by the industrialist Robert Bosch, presented Germany with a source of ammonia and nitrates from outside the British monopoly on Chile Saltpeter.

It went on to provide fertilizer for agriculture then the nitrates needed for gunpowder and explosives for WWI. This German grasp of chemistry changed world history more than ever anticipated. 

People seem to forget the first week of chemistry and the concept of conservation of mass. All the carbon that exists in this closed system is here now; no one is &quot;creating&quot; any more, it just gets converted from one molecular form to another, each having physical characteristics unique to their construction and the electro-physical outcome of that structure.

A look on the periodic table tells why the silicon-based materials are analogs of the carbon-based stuff; they share similar outer shell electron configuration making them a similar Lego piece in their chemical use in building molecules. It&#039;s a tired subject scratched by some sci-fi writers suggesting alternate life forms based on silicon rather than carbon. Trouble is that carbon is a non-metal, silicon is a metalloid.

Someone has developed a process and now they are shopping a use for it. They should deposit all the CO2 they capture in the Beltway give their storage capacity for hot air. ]]></description>
