ECO-rectional: Converting a “mean” gas to a less damaging one
I might have found a new source of energy that can power up my cooker and heat my
home:
It turns out that due to global warming, decomposition at the bottom of the sea is
accelerating and tons of methane gas are being generated & released to the
atmosphere. As part of the process, methane gets trapped as bubbles under the
ice crust in the Artic sea.
Here you have an example in these videos:

As we all know, methane is a greenhouse gas 25 fold more powerful than carbon dioxide.

The idea that I herein propose is that we could use this noxious gas for a good purpose if we could engineer a way to recover & compress the gas trapped in ice bubbles in order to use it as an energy source, for household or any other purposes.
This way we would be burning CH4 to CO2 which is less prejudicial, reducing the potential
threat. This, from some perspective could be seen as a “green” energy. I know
it is not sustainable as it contributes to climate change, but would be just as contaminating as current fossil fuels.
Any comments welcome!

Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
