The Great Stink or The Big Stink was a time in the summer of 1858 during which the smell of untreated sewage almost overwhelmed people in central London and all those who went near the Thames - including the occupants of Parliament. This, together with the frequent occurrence of cholera, gave impetus to legislation enabling the metropolitan board to begin work on sewers and street improvements. By 1866 most of London was connected to a sewer network devised by Chief Engineer Joseph Bazalgette.
London was suffering from recurring epidemics of cholera - it was thought at the time to be caused by foul air - it was thought Cholera was spread by air-borne bugs.
Construction of the London Sewerage System began in 1859 and went on for six years until completion in 1865. 318 million bricks were used for job, as well as 670,000 meters squared of mortar and concrete. The main sewers that made up this system spanned an incredible 450 miles, not to mention the six interceptory sewers which ad a total length of 100 miles.
Although the new sewerage system was in operation, and water supplies gradually improved, it did not prevent a later epidemic during the 1860s, especially in east London. However, a forensic investigation by Captain Tyler of the Railway Inspectorate in 1867 showed that the polluted river Lea was entering reservoirs of the East London Water Company, and so caused the epidemic. The water-borne explanation had now been proved beyond doubt, and eliminating the source of pollution resolved this last epidemic of cholera in the capital.
The point being, the Great Stink led to the London Sewage System which was a good thing BUT for the wrong reason. The system was designed to remove the "smell"... BUT by removing the "smell" the system ALSO separated water from sewage. It wasn't until many years after it was found that it was not air-bone at all, but water-borne....and the great engineering solution DID BOTH.
The intention of this very expensive scheme was to resolve the epidemic of cholera by eliminating the stench which was believed to cause it. As an unintended consequence the water supply ceased to be contaminated; this resolved the cholera epidemic.
THE SCIENCE WASN'T QUITE, BUT AS AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE IT WORKED ANYWAY.
Today we are faced with a Climate Change dilemma and a lot of argument to whether or not it is a CO2 problem. At this juncture 2011, Australia decides to tax polluters of CO2, with a Carbon Tax that is designed to raise revenue to encourage Clean Energy. The point being, it matters not whether CO2 is the culprit - or in the example of the Big Stink, that cholera was induced by air-borne or water-borne problems, it matters that the city of London cleaned up BOTH the stink and cholera.
The same applies to the world today. Whether CO2 is the ONLY problem to be cleaned up (carbon particles are pollutive) or by changing our policies to encourage eco sustainable and renewable practices, we MAY inadvertedly clean up ALL pollutions at the same time.
To this day we are faced with many pollutive practices that degrade our way of life, not forgetting a billion people without clean water. From massive oil spills to artificial fertilizers and now fracking on prime farm land - all threaten environmental damage.
THE IRONY Fracking is gas, and gas is cleaner burning than coal, and receives government support. On one hand the gas companies are trying to secure a "cleaner" energy to burn (saving some CO2 emissions) but on the other hand we expose our waterways to poisons. Welcome to the double-edged sword.
It matters not that CO2 is the problem - what matters is a BIG clean up... and the money raised from the Carbon Tax is to do that by taxing the polluters of CO2, not there aren't fines for many forms of pollution in other areas, the tax is focused on the CO2, but as an unintentional circumstance the movement towards an eco sustainable world is closer.
To reduce CO2 or to be sustainable - that is the question. There is so much whoa and effort shuffling back and forth about who is right or wrong, we fail to focus on the "money". The money collected is to reduce CO2 emissions - specifically to prevent Global Warming - but in doing so we indadvertedly realize that sustainability is the key - which is a much broader stroke of the pen - but by reducing CO2, as an unintended consequence we are busying ourselves in other ways that can make a difference to the planet by the action of choosing a dishwashing liquid, which is yet another level of transformation, that's all of us, that makes an eco sustainable planet closer, water hole by water hole.
Only true eco sustainable and renewable energy practice can cultivate fertile soil - the foundation and basis to re-build planet sustainability - restore the Carbon and Water Cycles - and manage Heat Accumulation. Wapsec Water & Power is a "wholistec" company building bridges to a sustainable future.
We are riding a new wave of industrial revolution into the RENEWABLE ENERGY AGE. Renewable Energies bring only advantages and no burden to the world.
The ECO SUSTAINABLE PLANET and ECO SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY sections often overlap - as crops become fuel and microorganisms make electricity - the line is blurred and indeed that is the desired 'interconnectedness' effect.
All these exciting new green technologies could become marketable at any time. To clarify exactly what is available now, you'll find WAPSEC is in the business of WATER & POWER SECURITY. WAPSEC supplies 'wholistec' solutions with leading-edge technology from Germany and Australia.
ECO SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY Ecology and Technology working together in synergy. SUSTAINABLE is 24 x 7. ECO SUSTAINABLE is when there's no waste. The waste product of one process is fuel for the next.
