ATHENS, March 14 (Xinhua) -- Over half (51.6 percent) of Greek private sector employees today is paid less than 800 euros (851.5 U.S. dollars) per month, as part-time employment has soared in the debt-laden country over years of crisis, according to a survey published on Tuesday.

Up to 68.9 percent of part-time employees work part-time because they cannot find full-time jobs, showed the annual survey conducted by the Labor Institute of the General Confederation of Greek Labor (INE-GSEE), the umbrella union of private sector workers.

With one quarter of the workforce unemployed and 70 percent of the more than one million registered jobless Greeks suffering from chronic unemployment, Greeks have limited choices, according to the INE-GSEE 2016 survey on the Greek labor market.

Data released by the Greek Statistics Authority (ELSTAT) showed the unemployment rate in the last quarter of 2016 stood at 22.6 percent with 3.7 million Greeks working and 1 million people jobless.

Using other indexes and taking into account people who are working part-time for salaries beneath the poverty threshold, INE-GSEE experts estimated the real unemployment rate at 29.6 percent.

The dramatic decline in disposable incomes for households combined with over-taxation and spending cuts in social security since 2010 has led to increased poverty rates. According to the survey, the rate of households unable to fully cover basic needs increased sharply from 28.2 percent in 2010 to 53.4 percent in 2015.

The INE-GSEE survey also highlighted the income gap between private sector employees and public servants. Only 11 percent of public servants are earning less than 800 euros (851.5 U.S. dollars) per month, while more than half of the Greeks working in the public sector are paid more than 1,000 euros (1064 dollars) per month.

Due to ever rising gasoline prices Washington Wizards Women's Jersey , people really are desperate to find alternative fuel sources. People get tired of filling up their tanks, and seeing the costs constantly going higher and higher. Really the only upside to this is that hopefully they will see the value of conserving fuel by finding alternate means of transportation. Funds seem to have an effect on people’s reasons behind doing things. People don’t stress about losing their money if it’s coming in regularly without fail. Most of the people who are concerned about sustainable energy sources are those who want to preserve our environment and are concerned about how petroleum-based fuels are harming it. Without having them, there most likely wouldn’t be cars running on electricity, or hybrids of both gasoline and electric Utah Jazz Women's Jersey , or even solar-powered.

At this time, you’ll find some cars that use water-to-gas engineering which supplements gasoline with water. Several factors have contributed to the increasing number of manufacturers who are producing cars that run on alternative fuels. Many governments, particularly European ones, have imposed huge taxes on fuels and have enacted restrictive environmental laws related to greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide Toronto Raptors Women's Jersey , a fossil fuel employed in most cars and trucks, is one of the greenhouse gases that is definitely increasing in our atmosphere. As a result, climate change as well as global warming are occurring because of the way the earth’s temperature is increasing due to the emission of greenhouse gases.

Vehicles have been designed that are perfect for using ethanol, fuel cells San Antonio Spurs Women's Jersey , LPG, solar power, and hydrogen for the operating fuel source, and also there are hybrid cars. LPG is normally liquefied petroleum Sacramento Kings Women's Jersey , and cars which are powered by it, are using a mixture of propane and butane. By compressing and liquefying hydrocarbon gases, it can lower the cost of fuel by 50% rather than more standard fuels such as diesel or gasoline. You will find cars that can be powered by sunlight, as the solar power makes electricity Portland Trail Blazers Women's Jersey , that can either power an electric motor, or make fuels like hydrogen. The solar power panels which transform sunshine into electrical energy are normally located on the car’s roof.

An useful fuel is ethanol, which is an alcohol that is produced from plant juice, high levels of sugar Phoenix Suns Women's Jersey , or carbohydrates like wheat. Brazil has been choosing sugar cane to create ethanol for practically 40 years and has saved $1.8 billion in oil costs to date. Brazil has built 5.4 million cars that operate on ethanol and is exporting them to Japan and Sweden. This markets not only furnished 900,000 jobs, but was responsible for a 30% reduction in toxic emissions because of using ethanol as a fuel.

Hydrogen-powered cars can be extremely clean operating since they only generate the environmentally friendly emissions of heat and water vapor. Hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius Philadelphia 76ers Women's Jersey , apply two different energy sources, combining a small gas engine with an electric motor. In order to take care of our environment with reverence while keeping rising fuel costs at bay, we need to investigate alternative energy sources.

ACCRA, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Ghana on Wednesday launched three key strategies aimed at supporting the country's fight to reduce emissions that lead to climate change.

The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Nii Osah Mills, who launched the Ghana REDD+ Strategy(reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation), Ghana Forest Plantation Strategy and Ghana Forestry Development Master plan, underscored the need for sustainable management and use of Ghana's natural and forest resources.

"We are launching these three strategic documents today in furtherance of national and global efforts to promote best-practice forest governance, restoration of.
