The Masdar InitiativeIs it possible to have an entire city be carbon and waste free? The Masdar Initiative is undertaking just that. The initiative is "a global cooperative platform for open engagement in the search for solutions to some of mankind's most pressing issues: energy security, climate change and truly sustainable human development." 9 Ways to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient - Part 2Yesterday we looked at Steps 1 through 5 on various ways that a home owner can go about making their home more energy efficient. Today, we will finish up with Steps 6 through 9 to complete the series. 9 Ways to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient - Part 1Harvey M Sachs, PhD and director of the Buildings Program at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy came up with the following 9 methods that a home owner can utilize in order to become more efficient. Painting Solar Cells Onto SteelWho knew painting could be so energy efficient? Swansea University researchers are looking into ways of painting solar cells onto pliable steel surfaces in the hope of generating electricity from the process. The allegation is that this method could produce the same amount of electricity as 50 wind farms. Disney World Flower and Garden FestivalIf the Disney World Flower and Garden Festival is of interest to you, the time has almost arrived! From March 19th through June 1st, a span of over 75 days, some of the most amazing displays will be on view at Epcot. Disney World takes the art of topiary to a whole new level with exhibits ranging from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Pluto, and everything in between! Gimme a Green Cell PhoneNo, I'm not talking about LG's green-hued Mint Chocolate phone (although, if I were in the market for a new Chocolate, the green Mint would be my preference). What I'm actually referring to is a new type of technology that the wireless industry is testing out that will use alternate energy to power cell phones. Cell companies have "heard the call" of millions ofgreen energy advocates and, in response, have begun working on ways to change the methods they have had in place for years. Gimme a Green Cell PhoneIn today's world of eco-friendly inventions, the electric car is getting its fair share of exposure. Not only are gas prices at an all-time high right now, but the fuel emissions that emanate from petroleum juiced engines cause a breakdown in what we desire to be clean air. An electric car emits absolutely no emissions due to the lack of a tailpipe, as well as zero evaporative dischargefrom a fuel system. Salty Water In...fresh Water OutIn many poor, third world countries, even having the resources to obtain electricity presents a problem. Due to the lack of logistics, as well as the finances even if all of the logistics were in place, alternate methods are necessary in order to have the basics that those in more financially fortunate areas of the world have. Think Outside of the BoxIn today's world of eco-friendly inventions, the electric car is getting its fair share of exposure. Not only are gas prices at an all-time high right now, but the fuel emissions that emanate from petroleum juiced engines cause a breakdown in what we desire to be clean air. An electric car emits absolutely no emissions due to the lack of a tailpipe, as well as zero evaporative dischargefrom a fuel system. Wind PowerWith the way the energy crisis is growing, soon the fossil fuels that we rely on will be gone or so overpriced, that very few people will be able to afford it. Researchers have been creating new and innovating ways to create energy out of the natural resources the Mother Nature provides. Even though the wind has been a source of power for hundreds of years, it is not until recent decades that it was considered on a large scale.
