 the future of earth lies in our hands - we can destroy earth, we can destroy the future of our children, or we can live a sustainable life and show responsibility
The future of Earth lies in our hands

A Word From The President:
Dear members,
did you find "changes" this year?
Was the weather in your area un-usual?
Were some records broken?

We get many emails from members from Argentina, Austria, Canada, Germany, and the United States asking us, about records, and earthquakes.
Please have a look at this chart:
NASA graphic shows temperatures over the last 130 years
This is a chart with temperatures provided by NASA
Can you see a trend?

IPCC graphic show earth temperatures are rising
Earth temperature graphic from IPCC
Can you see a trend?

ocean level - sea level rise last 130 years
Earth ocean levels are changing
Can you see a trend?

After the last ice age global sea levels were lowered by around 120 meters = 394 feet as compared to today.

The decade 2000-2009 was the warmest since modern recordkeeping began, and 2009 was tied for the second warmest single year.

So what?
Please email us your questions!

Why is Nature conservation so important?
When we protect Nature, we protect all living creatures on Earth, INCLUDING all humans.
This is our mission!
This is what we do and we thank all of you who have helped us!!

Check our 258 web-pages or have a look into our BSB-book

Would you think that rising temperatures are associated with more allergies among more people?
An Italian study suggests that higher temperatures are lengthening the pollen season for some plants and trees, increasing the pollen load they produce and causing a rise in the number of people who are developing allergies to certain pollens.
For nearly 30 years pollen counts have been recorded; the length of pollen seasons and the prevalence of people sensitized to pollens from birch, cypress, olive, and grass. The pollen season began many days sooner at the end of the study period than it did at the beginning. For olive trees, the pollen season began about 30 days sooner.
Another research group suggested that pollen grain is becoming more allergenic when plants are grown with higher carbon dioxide levels. This means that people with allergies might need to start taking allergy medications earlier and continue them for a longer period of time.


Only 3,200 tigers remain in the wild.
Much longer than humans the tiger reigned over a vast territory stretching from Turkey to Russia. Today, tigers occupy just 7 % of their historic range.
Three sub-species of tigers: Bali, Javan and Caspian--have gone extinct. The South China tiger, has not been seen in the wild for 25 years.
The remaining 6 sub-species are endangered too because of illegal wildlife trade, poaching, and human conflict.



About 200 wine-makers have banded together to promote "natural wine", which embraces environmental issues as well as purely hedonistic concerns.
What are natural wines:
Natural wines are minimalist wines produced with as little intervention as possible - 100 % grape is the goal.” Many of the Earth’s wines are made from grapes grown on soils stuffed with chemicals, some contain yeasts, sugars, and even flavors or wood chips added. Wine is not always pure.
Green-friendly farming is far easier than in the past thanks to scientific advances, such as using bacteria to combat grape worm. A lot of work and an occasional dose of sulfur dioxide, an antioxidant that stabilizes the wine is needed to turn grapes into wine, which otherwise would become vinegar.
Wine bottles shipped to California contain zero sulfates, while others sent to Florida contain small quantities of the product, known as E222 and E224 in listings of food additives.
The philosophy behind green wine making:
Respect for life. Respect for the soil, for the Earth, and respect for health.
People after all are going to be drinking wine to enjoy, not to be poisoned. The French expression for “natural” wines = Carnet de Vigne Omnivore.



Food waste from schools is a recyclable
School districts and post-secondary schools in New Jersey are now sending their food wastes to be composted. A company in Boston is now processing organic food wastes from Rider University in Lawrenceville, Mercer County Community College in West Windsor, The Pingry School in Short Hills and Martinsville, East Brunswick Public Schools and the Morris School District.
More and more educational institutions, from elementary schools through colleges, have become environmentally-conscious. Instead of being landfilled, the organic food waste is used to produce organic fertilizer, cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions from landfills and providing many other environmental benefits.


Look at these bunnies.
a dove has adopted bunnies
After a dove adopted them, they are all doing great. When the bunnies scoot underneath the dove's feathers, it carefully extends its wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, the dove gently pushes them back under its feathers with its beak!

Wal-Mart made big news with a major commitment to trim its greenhouse-gas emissions
Over the past 5 years the retail giant has been working on saving energy, reducing waste, and selling cleaner products, like compact-fluorescent light bulbs.
Wal-mart's newest announcement is to cut 20 million metric tons of greenhouse-gas emissions by the end of 2015 and focuses on factories, who produce all the things that Wal-Mart sells:
Wal-Mart will encourage its suppliers to reduce their carbon footprints globally. Wal-Mart is looking at the products that create the most carbon emissions across their life-cycles — as well as products that are top sellers - and focusing on those first.
Wal-Mart will get carbon pollution reductions now without waiting for the United States or other countries to act. To improve practices at 10,000 factories around Earth can make Wal-Mart’s operations more efficient.
We all hope this new initiative is successful!


As you could read for many years on BSBNCG websites, we have informed you on a major threat to human life: Methane
Methane is bubbling out of the frozen Arctic and Tundras.
Trapped in the permafrost during the last ice age, rising temperatures are now releasing methane.
Earth's oceans are emitting methane too, but the amount of methane currently coming out of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf alone is comparable to the amount coming out of all oceans on Earth.
Climate change is caused by different gases. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one reason, but as we reported note that methane can be up to 20 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide.
When we look at historic records, methane concentrations in Earth's atmosphere have ranged between
0.3 and 0.4 parts per million
in cool periods to
0.6 to 0.7 in warm periods.
The last meassured methane concentrations in the Arctic show
1.8 parts per million,
a number no human ever encountered.

Thank you for helping us!


Why should humans live in Harmony with Nature?
Earth population is growing, putting pressure on energy and food supplies
Can you see a trend?
The human population is growing fast -
faster than food production / supply of
Healthy water, healthy food!

Nature Education is important to us

Work with us to give
our kids a safer future!

How people could reduce carbon emissions:
Weatherization
Improving attic insulation, sealing or replacing drafty windows and doors, could cut carbon emissions by 21 million metric tons.
Switching to more efficient equipment, maintaining equipment, adjusting appliance setting—such as the temperature on water heaters—and modifying daily personal use would save nearly 12 million metric tons of carbon emissions.

Fuel efficient vehicles
Better fuel consumption has the greatest potential to reduce U.S. carbon emissions. That would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by just over five percent by year 10, or by more than 31 million metric tons.
Even seemingly minor steps like not speeding away from a stop sign when driving, regularly maintaining one’s car, or turning down the heating at home in the winter to 68 degrees F (20 degrees C), could save between four and eight million metric tons in carbon emissions.

nature conservation: the only way to give children, grandchildren a safe future, with enough breathable air, enough healthy drinking water, with good climate, without violent weather, storms, floods. Nature conservation is not very costly but very efficient if all of us do just a little bit to reduce air + water pollution, to reduce co2 levels, to lower the impact of global warming + climate change
International Water conservation provides a safer future to children, grandchildren. Water conservation provides enough drinking water, a better climate, without food shortages. Polluted water causes higher food prices. Water conservation is cheap but very efficient if all of us a little bit to reduce water waste, water pollution. Humans need to drink water - drinking water has many health benefits - earth has an permanent water cycle, but polluted drinking water cannot be used - take action today, reduce water consumption - conserve water
soil conservation is the only way to secure our food supply, our drinking water supply, a stable climate - soil conservation is not costly but efficient. Reduce erosion and chemical soil contamination = soil conservation. Reduce co2 levels to lower the impact of global warming, climate change
