Technologies for reducing carbon emissions

An article at NextBigFuture lists "Ten Technologies that should have a big impact on Green house gas Emissions". This provides much material for a discussion with Physics students - though the teacher would likely have some research to do! Most teachers would not have heard of many of these. Some are very relevant to us in Guyana. The 10 technologies are:

1. factory mass produced high rises and skyscrapers
2. black carbon free cookers
3. diesel particulate filters for cars and trucks
4. electrification of vehicles
5. retrofitting existing buildings for efficiency
6. reducing carbon dioxide emissions from concrete
7. scaling up of regular nuclear power and hydro power
8. nuclear fission technology advances
9. slash-and-char agriculture
10. biochar

UNESCO Microscience in Guyana?

UNESCO's Teaching and Learning Packages produced by the Global Microscience Project are currently being looked at with a view to their use in schools here in Guyana. These consist of a lunchbox-sized container of equipment which allows certain basic practical activities to be done - preferably by students. Different packages exist for primary science and for secondary chemistry, biology and physics (electricity).
