Description

BUT HOW ? -Are solar panels toxic ? The problem of solar panel disposal “will explode with full force in two or three decades and wreck the environment” because it “is a huge amount of waste and they are not easy to recycle.” They contain toxic waste including lead, cadmium, and silicon tetrachloride. Are wind farms environmentally good ? -NO, offshore wind farms are harmful to both benthic and pelagic habitats in the ocean, increased noise levels, electromagnetic fields, bird collisions, increased release of toxic sediment from ocean floor bed, and alters the food web. Are the oceans clean ? - 7,000 to 35,000 tons of "floating garbage" are in the oceans. Merchant ships produce 90% of the waste dumped in the oceans. Also barges of garbage have been dumped into the ocean. Is groundwater always safe ? - No. It is constantly susceptible to man-made pollutants such as oil, gas, salts, chemicals that seep into the soil and groundwater and making it unsafe for human use. GOOD LUCK with that "GREENIES "
