      • Clean Water Just a Cactus Away
        04/30/10



        Many water purification methods introduced into the developing world are quickly abandoned as people don't know how to use and maintain them, says Norma Alcantar at the University of South Florida in Tampa. So she and her colleagues decided to investigate the prickly pear cact

      • Are We In A Drought Or Not? Yes - Mostly
        04/29/10



        I am seeing headlines that indicate certain areas around the San Francisco Bay are no longer in drought conditions. This is not a state wide condition. This is also not the condition around the whole San Francisco Bay Area.

        The city of San Francisco and County of Marin

      • Were Aerosols Helping Prevent Global Warming?
        04/29/10


        The following is a snippet from a radio show:

        ---------------------------------------------------
        "If we continue to cut back on smoke pouring forth from industrial smokestacks, the increase in global warming could be profound," Kintisch writes in an opinion pie

      • Electrical Power Along Dutch Coastline
        04/28/10



        In 1953, the Netherlands, always vulnerable to flooding, suffered a major natural disaster. The North Sea washed over half a million acres of land and killed over 1,800 people on the south-western coast.

        To protect future generations from similar harm, the Dutch governm

      • Whale Poo Fertalizer is Not for Farmers
        04/27/10



        Australian scientists have discovered that whale poo is not only helping ocean plant life to flourish, but also increasing the ocean's ability to absorb CO2.

        Because whales' diets are made up largely of iron-rich krill (small crustaceans), their droppings are a

      • Avatar - An Interesting Idea About the Environment
        04/26/10
        This weekend, one of the leisure things I did was watch the movie Avatar. While I enjoyed the special effects and the basic story line, it was clear to me that there was a message.

        The message was not as simple as implying we are all connected. There was another message. In the end of

      • Earthday Should Be Everyday
        04/23/10
        There were so many articles on blogs yesterday, I didn't feel I could add anything. However, today I want to share that everyday should be Earth Day.

        As we move through our day, if we all just make an ounce of effort to pick up an extra piece of stray trash, or turn off an extra lig

      • Climate Change - Fact or Fiction - Here We Go Again
        04/16/10
        As we approach Earth Day, this subject has popped up again.

        I have written about this in the past and it has been posted on many green blogs and news sites, I just want to summarize again.

        Weather events are not climate; climate is the accumulation of weather events over an ex

      • LBNL and DOE Concur - Efficiency and Negawatts Needed
        04/15/10
        This article is a re-post from renewableenergyworld.com.

        - Negawatts are the watts saved from not being used. Not only are they the cheapest source of New Energy but investing in them saves $2-to-$3 dollars for every dollar that is spent, savings that can be invested in New Energy megawat

      • Solar Paint and the Home Improvement Store - Coming Soon?
        04/14/10

        The above image is just a generic can of paint and a solar installation, there is no color information currently for solar paint. I would guess it is a dark brown or slate color.


        As you may have read here before, solar is good but efficiency is low. The value of solar is rea

      • Cool LED Lighting Takes On A New Look From GE
        04/13/10



        GE has announced a 40 watt equivalent replacement bulb that uses LED technology for the light source. At a draw of only 9 watts to create the light, it is about 10% more efficient than a CFL for the same job. LED's do not contain Mercury and are therefore a greener choice in

      • LED Improvements Will Speed Marketshare
        04/07/10



        As you may already know, it has been a few years since Philips dropped research into fluorescent technology in order to put it all into LED. This should make it very clear that LED is likely the next big thing in lighting.

        Cree is a leader, if not "the" leader
