Feng Shui is more than mumbo-jumbo

Posted to Sin Fong's Facebook

Is Feng Shui just mumbo-jumbo? No, it deals with risk minimisation - health, accident preventation, good house design practice, environmental conservation, etc.

Take direct action on water and the environment

Unfortunately, the Earth is not a close system. The Sun is an external heat source and its radiated heat is causing net increase of heat energy on Earth. According to the theories of Thermodynamics, we have two possible solutions. One is to look up beyond the upper atmospheres and work out how heat exchanges between the Earth and the outer Space can be improved. This is the one and only platinum prize!

Another is to convert the heat energy to other form of stored energy – not just in the trees, but also in high carbohydrate content cereals. Carbohydrate is a carbon sink, capturing the carbon dioxide and can be consumed to sustain lives. This may or may not be a long term solution, but this definitely helps to solve another Earthly problem – starvation!

How to feed the hungry people and capture excessive carbon emission simultaneously

Posted to Sin Fong Chan's Facebook
I have been telling my students and colleagues that the solution to overcome excessive carbon emission and human hunger simultaneously is so so simple - grow more food plant with high carbohydrate content. Carbohydrate is for carbon capture, and the food for the hungry!

I hope at least one of them can make my vision realised.
