Welcome to Slipsters Blog, my little piece of ideas that could chnage the world. We have ideas from the Animal world, Applied science, Development, the Environment, and Information Technology complates the first half.
We then follow up with articles on Medicine, Nanotechnology, Plants, Problem Solving, Space and of course we have the final section on the latest News.
For the past three years India has been serving as the dumping ground of thousand tones of America’s waste. 890 tonnes of harmful waste has been brought all the way from New Jersey to Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin Port. It is a classic case of the way west has treated India as their dumping ground.
Contaminated harmful wastes such as polythene bags, crushed soft drink cans, pesticide containers, used batteries, metal wires and many others have been brought to the port. In October 2007, large amount of toxin waste sent by New York was seized in Kochi port. This led to a huge controversy. There has also been experiences of dismantling toxic filled ships ships like the Blue Lady and Clemencau in India.
Back in 2005 while importing wastepaper India discovered that the cargos not only carried paper but also carcenogenic waster discarded by America. To our shock The Madras High Court stated that this is a huge risk to the lives of people and environment in India.

Chemicals used in cosmetics, plastic wraps and bags, toys etc. are harmful and damages the environment. An American group of Researchers have found out that more male animals are turning feminine due to the availability of phthalates in the environment. The tired environment is resulting in reduction in the quality of sperms and also increasing the rate of infertility. Even slight presence of phthalates can cause damages to the reproductive organs of new born male babies.
Pregnant women, in whose bodies the presence of phthalates has been found are more like to deliver a baby boy with several deformities. The problems could vary from born with smaller penis, abnormal distance between genitals and anus etc. Scientists say that the effects on small boys are quite similar to that of animals.
The chemical industry is facing a strong threat after the discovery of effect of phthalates in the environment. Some of these phthalates are being used in plastic for more than last 50 years. Although it has been banned at many places, the current usage is bad enough for the environment.
Even Christmas Eve creates environmental problems. According to a research, food worth $5 billion is wasted during this occasion around the world. Tons of foods are wasted and they eventually rot.
As per AAP, Christmas waste is 20 times more harmful than the emission for a car. We do need to understand the ill effects of food waste that is resulting in the constant change of climates. A kilo of beef is equivalent to 50,000 liters of water. Leftovers of ham, chicken and turkey should be used afterwards in
sandwiches and other items. Vegetable leftovers can be used in soups too.
Christmas trees should only be put into the organic dust bins after use. The WSN Environmental Solutions is concerned about the problem. This facility has been offered especially to those who don’t have an organic bean. Even people who are old and physically disable can take the assistance of WSN to get rid of
the Christmas tree.
The liability to keep the environment clean lies on us only. The decoration should be properly removed once Christmas is over. Any kind of wastes should be disposed of with due care.
The Sahara Forest Project is one of the latest exploration projects that could turn deserts into thriving patches of vegetation. The design will use sea water and solar power in order to grow food in greenhouses in desert areas. (more…)
Remains of a 120 million year old dinosaur have been discovered in the village of Morello in Eastern Spain. The exciting discovery may be from an unknown species, and scientists are very excited with the find.

Ancient life has been discovered in Antarctica dating back fourteen million years. Fossils of plants and animals that lived on the continent before it froze over have been found in a miraculous discovery. (more…)
The southwest of England has been suffering from a record high number of strandings of dolphins along the coast. Experts fear that the loss of any more bottlenose dolphins in the area could cause the end of them all together. Conservationists have worked hard to devise a system to help the dolphins avoid being prey to fishing nets and the plan will be implemented in the waters of Cornwall. (more…)
Radical animal rights activists have proposed making lab-grown meat on a large-scale production worldwide. They have offered one million dollars to the scientist who can come up with a way to grow edible animal tissue to stop cruel methods of killing animals for food. (more…)

The Floating Ecopolis or the Lilypad is a unique architectural phenomenon designed by architect Vincent Callebaut. With the rising sea levels occurring throughout the world, Callebaut has come up with the design of a floating city as a solution for people needing to get away from the extreme climatic conditions.
Researchers at the University of Leeds have invented a “virtually waterless” washing machine. This new machine will use less than 2% of the energy and water of the machines that we are currently using while removing stains just effectively.
