Salt Water As Fuel?

A man may have figured out how to convert salt water into fuel, instead of using oil or coal. He successfully figured out, on accident, how to burn salt water.

Ecological Footprint



Check out this link: www.myfootprint.org

It asks you a few questions and then determines your ecological footprint. It is pretty interesting.

For me, it said:

CATEGORY ACRES

FOOD 4

MOBILITY 1.7

SHELTER 7.2

GOODS/SERVICES 8.2

TOTAL FOOTPRINT 21



IN COMPARISON, THE AVERAGE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IN YOUR COUNTRY IS 24 ACRES PER PERSON.

WORLDWIDE, THERE EXIST 4.5 BIOLOGICALLY PRODUCTIVE ACRES PER PERSON.

IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE YOU, WE WOULD NEED 4.7 PLANETS.


My ecological footprint is smaller than that of the average American, but 4.7 times bigger than it should be.
