The Essence of Living Green

By Mark Pappas

Teach the Children

My children love the outdoors, because my wife and I expose them to it. They also love computers, and I am sure if we exposed them to fast foods they would love that as well. It’s all about making good choices and being a good example. I’m not talking about wearing hemp clothing or eating granola all day long although there are those who do. You do not have to be that committed to be a part of the “Green Initiative”. For those who merely have a healthy respect for the world we live in and want to take action to help improve the environment, there are many simple changes that we can make, and teach our children to do the same.

Recycling

There is more to recycling than paper, plastic and bottles. Organic waste is one of the largest contributors to landfills which causes methane gas, the principle component of natural gas, is released into the atmosphere and is a contributing factor in the depletion of the ozone layer, which in turn plays a major part in global warming. Organic waste such as leaves, grass clippings, and non-animal food scraps do not decompose efficiently enough in landfills yet makes the best compost for your vegetable garden, flowers, trees and shrubs.…continue

Living Green and Thereby Reducing our Carbon Footprint and Saving the Earth

By ashsmh

Recycling

is the simplest and most effective ways that we can help save the environment. There are plenty of different steps that we can take at home where you can separate trash for this purpose. It is convenient if you can buy plastic trash cans and label them for each individual product.

You can have one for glass products, one for plastic items, and one for cardboard and paper products. You can have one for aluminum cans (soda cans) too . Check out from your local representative, if there is any recycling place near your place of residence. There should be centers for them locally around town. You will often find bins that allow you to place these items into at collection spots. They are just huge containers that will get emptied out on a regular basis. This is perfect when the community doesn’t have any other method for taking in the items to be recycled....continue

Alternative Energy

Generate Your Own Reliable Energy at Home With 3 Different Technologies

By Jared Owen Platinum Quality Author

For thousands of people, introducing solar energy into their homes is a money saving venture as well as the obvious advantages of generating free energy. Including solar energy into the grid system allows people to take advantage of the reliability of the utility companies while being able to generate at least a portion of their own energy.

There are however ways to be able to generate enough energy through clean energy systems so that you don’t have to worry about unreliability and the cost of such a system is less than you might imagine.

Starting With Solar

Solar panels are easy to manufacture at home and will cost very little. Integrating them into the grid system is also very simple and requires less components than going off grid, but the limitations of solar energy will always remain. When there is no sunlight, there is no power…continue

Renewable Energy Methods For the Home

By James Rawlins

Our President-elect has promised to spend $150 billion over the next 10 years to support alternative energy, “This is a crucial step forward,” The problem is, it won’t be enough !

The best choices when it comes to home power are solar and wind power. These count for only 0.2% of the energy that is consumed. There are three renewable energy resources, solar energy, wind power and geothermal energy. “A significant advantage of the use of renewable energy systems,” is that they are environmentally friendly because they result in lower dangerous pollutant emissions, and they are essentially inexhaustible.”

Some ways in which renewable energy can be made to work in rural applications include:

* Providing hot water for home and farm use...continue

DIY Solar For the Home Made Easy

By Brock Parsons

DIY Solar power systems are a great way for a homeowner to generate their own power to help lower their power bills.

The newer solar panels available today have close to 20% efficiency and are built to last longer than older panels. This means you need less of these new panels to generate enough electricity for your house. Because these new panels are so efficient you need a smaller amount space on the roof and since you are buying less of them, the system will cost you less too. Besides being more efficient, the new panels are also built to last longer and generate peak power further into their lives. The reason they can do this is that the solar cells that make up the panels have been dramatically improved over the years.

Another key component of any homemade solar power system is the inverter and these have been improved as well. The inverter is the part of your DIY solar for the home system that converts the DC current produced by the solar panels to AC current. It also switches between solar power and your local utility in the evenings so you always have the power you need. Older versions of these inverters were built to handle a very specific amount of solar cells and current....continue

Financial Return on Solar For the Home

By Jim Smoot Platinum Quality Author

People every day look for investments that will help them save money, or that will increase in value over the years. They turn to the stock market, or invest in IRAs, or even remodel their homes to increase the resell value. One option that is typically not considered is to add solar for home use as an investment.

Of all the option you could chose, solar for home is one that will give a guaranteed payoff over time.

For instance, if you were to invest $4,000 in a solar furnace to heat your house, and you were able to save an average of $50 per month on your heating bill, the savings would pay that investment off in 6.5 years. For some parts of the country, a $50 savings is a very low estimate. If you live in a colder climate, or if gas prices start to rise again that savings number could rise dramatically.…continue

Wind Power

Advantages and Disadvantages of Wind Power

By James Nash

Wind power, or wind energy, is a renewable resource; it is from the sun. The advantages of wind power are many, including practical, environmental as well as economic. There are also disadvantages to using windpower, such as the natural variability of wind, the competition for other land uses, and bird deaths.

Wind power, or wind energy, is a renewable resource; it is from the sun. The intensity of solar radiation differs across the globe. Some areas receive intense amounts of sunlight, while others receive much less. The result is a temperature gradient; a gradient which is mediated by the flow of air to and from areas of dissimilar temperatures and pressure systems in our atmosphere. Uneven heating of the earth’s atmosphere,

in addition to irregularities on the earth’s surface and the rotation of the earth create wind. Terrain, water bodies, and vegetation then shape flow patterns....continue

Residential Wind Power Facts – Should You Build A Windmill Powered Generator

By CLARENCE JOHNSON

Since the beginning of time wind has been used to power ships, grind grain, and pump water. Wind power is the fastest growing renewable energy source in the world. It is said to be at a rate of 30% annually here in the U.S. Germany outranks all other Eurogrowing pean countries for this type of power generation. Wind power is clean, renewable, and produces no carbon dioxide emissions or waste products.

President Obama and the new administration, has allocated millions of dollars to subsidize the creation of green jobs. One the main objectives is to specifically increase the manufacture of windmill powered generators. Just recently an out of work Maytag company was revived to produce propellers for wind powered generators.…continue

Biodiesel Car Is The New Way To Drive

Simon Oldmann

In todays society, Researchers in the United States and around the world are searching for ways to develop alternate forms of fuel. With the ever-rising fuel costs, developing alternate energy is a priority. Bio diesel was developed to combat the high gas and oil prices. It is especially made for use in bio diesel cars and trucks. Bio diesel is made from all naturalfoods that produce oil. Oils such as vegetable, canola, peanut, rapeseed, palm and olive oil can be used as bio diesel fuel.

Virtually all oils that you use in your kitchen everyday can fuel one of these cars. It does not matter if the oil has been used, it can be strained and filtered and then used in the fuel tank.

Biodiesel fuel is a better for the environment because it burns cleaner and does not pollute the atmosphere. It is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it the perfect fuel.…Continue

Electric Car Conversion- Why To Do It And How

By asupport

An electric car conversion kit is a all-in-one instructions and parts kit which is designed to convert an existing internal combustion engine car or truck into an electric propulsion vehicle. In doing so, the vehicle becomes a plug-in or all-electric vehicle.

The most expensive kits are full cars, which are built from the ground up, and are often found at the latest electric vehicle dealerships. These kits are not recommended for anyone other than skilled, professional mechanics, as they are quite difficult and require a host of specialty tools. Some kits are designed as ready-to-assemble kits, complete with everything the car or truck owner could need to do the conversion on an existing vehicle, minus the tools. Other kits provide instructions and a few key components, leaving the car owner to purchase their own batteries or other common or easy to find parts. Finally, the most cost efficient kits are instructions only, which include step-by-step guides for the novice mechanic....continue

Hydrogen Water Car-Convert Water Into Hydrogen For Your Car

Toxic Chemicals – What Are We Doing To Our Kids?

By Jean Shaw

I was born in the late fifties. In those days it was safe to leave your doors unlocked, leave your bike unattended, play out in the street and talk and accept lifts from strangers.

It was also a time of RESPECT especially towards parents and anyone older.

If we were told to come in at a certain time, we did so. If we were playing ball and it accidentally went into someone’s garden, we went to the door, apologised and politely requested its return. If the owner refused we may have felt upset but accepted it. After all, the ball shouldn’t have been on their property in the first place. If the owner wasn’t in we would NEVER dream of just going into someone’s garden without their permission.

However, it may well have meant the end of the game for in those days people had just one ball. There was none of this “Oh never mind, we’ll just get another”. If your ball got lost , that was it.

Whether it be cricket, football, rounders or tennis – the ball had to be found. We searched in the dykes, the long grass and the corn fields ever wary and conscious that we were sometimes trespassing and hoping we’d be out before the farmer came.

Today, however, the story is much different. We live in a throw away society and values appear to have changed. Infact, whole life styles have changed and not always for the better.…continue

Eat Healthy Food And You Can Live Healthy

By Ranju Kumar

A central concern of the society in which we live is health. People are getting more and more conscious about living a healthy life. Eating healthy food is of course a great way to improve your health and stay healthy. A common misconception among people is that healthy food refers to bland and boring food that is widely available as a natural food co-op. However, healthy food is actually what you eat every day, only it is prepared in a slightly different way.

Healthy food as well as healthy eating habits is pleasant for the palate. Closer the food is to its natural state; the healthier it is for you. You can improve your eating habits by cutting down on packaged food. This kind of food, although convenient, is filled with preservatives and artificial ingredients. Healthy food can be convenient too, once you get into the habit of preparing them....continue
