Two weeks of wrangling later, sharp divisions between the rich and poor nations over how to fight the fight have been laid bare. Few might have expected the UN Climate Change Conference at Copenhagen, which came to a close last weekend, to throw up a game-changer of a deal.
Yet, even lowered expectations could hardly stem the disappointment many people felt over the final outcome - a last-minute accord that was weaker than not only a legally binding treaty but also the expected "political" agreement. It is clear that developing and developed nations have different historical and emission responsibilities and vary in current emission levels due to different development stages.
Countries by CO2 emissions in 2008
In this kind of eco-friendly atmosphere, few days ago, we got a mail question the carbon dioxide emissions of GR-01. She seemed not in favor of the idea of using CO2 emissions. We know conserve energy and reduce carbon emission is a trend and it is also our global citizenship to make our life better. In fact, our GR-01 carbon emission is only 200ppm compared with 40,000ppm to human breath. We don’t know how much carbon emissions of traditional mosquito killer. But for energy consumption, GR-01 uses only 7-9W (220V/110V) compared with 14-18W (220V/110V) of the traditional electric mosquito killer.
So in conclusion, our machine is pretty “green” in terms of carbon emissions and energy consumption. Not to mention Photocatalystic reaction can purify and reduce microbe in the air.
Copenhagen Accord represents a step forward, although not enough. At least, it was a new beginning in the battle against global warming. As global citizens, we hope our little effect can make a difference.
