EARTH SPACESHIP

Spaceship
Earthis a world view term
usually expressing concern over
the use of limited resources
available on Earth and the
behavior of everyone on it to act
as a harmonious crew working

It may have been derived from a

passage
in Henry George's best known
work,Progress and Poverty (1879). From
book IV, chapter 2:
It is a well-provisioned ship, this on which
we sail through space. If the bread and beef
above decks seem to grow scarce, we but
open a hatch and there is a new supply, of
which before we never dreamed. And very
great command over the services of others
comes to those who as the hatches are
opened are permitted to say, "This is mine!"

WHY IT IS A SPACESHIP?
Because it travels in the space at 29,6 km/sec
and it is characterised by a special cabin,
called TROPOSPHERE, rich in oxygen, that
provides us life.

WHAT IS THE EARTHS PROTECTIVE

COVERING?

It is a protective

stratus covering
the troposphere
with the function
of defending
human beings
from ultraviolet
solar rays. Such
covering is called
OZONE.

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DONT RESPECT THE

INTEGRITY OF OUR OZONE COVERING?
Unfortunately, for years we
have used and still are using gases
that punch this protective covering,
so that the suns ultraviolet rays
can penetrate the spaceship, with
serious damage for our health as
well as for the integrity of all living
species.
once the size and importance of
our pressured cabin is understood,
lets consider now they way we
accumulate CARBON DIOXIDE in it.

HOW CAN AN INDIVIDUAL PRODUCE

SUCH AMOUNT OF CO2?
To make 1 Kg of bread corresponds to produce 0,4

kg of CO2
To keep a bulp alight for 4 hours equals to produce
0,2 kg of CO2.

To take a shower means to emette 1 kg of

CO2 in the atmosphere, that is the same

impact of using the dishwasher
To keep a refrigerator working generates 40
gr of CO2 per hour.


Each kg of petrol burned is transformed into 2,6 kg
of CO2, as the carbon inside the petrol combines
with 2 molecule of oxygen which are in the
atmosphere and have its same weight.
To warm a 60-squared-metre flat in winter,
contributes to an emission of 20 kg of CO2 per day.

One of the major damages

is the GREENHOUSE EFFECT,
of whom C02 is responsible
for the 50%.

WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE

EFFECT?
The trapping of the sun's warmth in a
planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater
transparency of the atmosphere to visible
radiation from the sun than to infrared
radiation emitted from the planet's surface.

HOW CAN THE INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN ACT

The individual citizen can follow 3
different ways:
To reduce consumptions;
to adopt a buying behaviour oriented
to eco-friendly products and
processes;
To promote reforestation locally and
internationally.

IN ORDER TO KEEP THIS BALACE, DOES

EACH PERSON NEED TO REPLANT 0.78

HECTARES OF WOOD PER YEAR?
