  • 7 Reasons to Buy Solar Lighting - I don’t think that a day goes by now without someone mentioning the phrase “carbon footprint” and we all know that this is not a fad, it is here to stay. It is a continuous source of concern to me that even in this consumer society that we live in that we all do our bit to be environmentally friendly and contribute to creating a low carbon footprint. I wrote some articles a while ago that looked at the environmentally friendliness of the barbecue and if one argues that the energy consumed by a barbecue compared with any other form of cooking then certainly the charcoal barbecue can be considered environmentally friendly provided the wood source for the charcoal is harvested by coppicing.

  • What is Carbon Fiber? - Before we get to the good stuff, you should at least have a basic knowledge of what Carbon Fiber really is. If there's anything that bothers me, it is somebody who explains things as if you are already an expert on the subject. That's why you are researching in the first place, isn't it?! Let me explain Carbon Fiber in a way that anybody could understand... Carbon Fiber itself is a material made up of long thin strands of Carbon (who would've guessed?
  • Carbon Fiber Helmets - Carbon fiber helmets have become very popular in today’s motorcycle world. The reasons for that popularity are easy to understand. Carbon fiber helmets tend to have a distinctive look and that look has become fashionable. Carbon fiber helmets are lighter and their shells are more durable than other helmets for carbon fiber helmets often make use of a combination of Kevlar and carbon fibers and this combination produces helmet shells that are as strong as they would be if they were made out of metal. This is an attractive feature for many buyers of carbon fiber helmets and the caché that attaches to Kevlar, a material used in military helmets, constitutes a strong selling point. However, there is a caution in order with respect to the issue of the relationship of carbon fiber helmets to head protection.
  • Sustainable fashion - Sustainable fashion is also known as green fashion or ethical fashion. Sustainable fashion is only a small part of a bigger sustainable design system in which a product is designed, created , marketed and sold with consideration of the impact that product will have on the planet during and after its total working life span, this is known as a “carbon footprint” of the product in question. The fashion industry has not been very active in terms of environmentalism, with the only form of environmentalism being a small percentage of sales that is donated to any charity. Today there is a shift in the trend and more and more designers are now trying to reduce the impact that their industry is having on the environment.

  • Ways to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Your Travelling - The stresses of daily life are growing increasingly pervasive and it seems harder and harder to find time for yourself and your family. Doesn't a week-long trip to the tropics sound refreshing? I'll say! Unfortunately, vacation traveling is a major contributor to global warming because it is very energy-intensive (read: it burns a lot of fossil fuel). The Main Problem With The Hospitality Industry Is It Encourages People To Travel By Burning Fossil Fuels Most people have, at some level, an innate desire for adventure. By creating an allure of locations that are often far-off, the hospitality industry capitalizes on that feature of your psyche. Indeed, the hotel industry in the US alone posted a profit of $16.7 billion in 2004 according to Smith Travel Research.
  • Do Not Buy Another Water Heater - New Technology Saves Money And Saves The Environment - Good news for the environment. Together, we can save hundreds of millions of dollar and millions of kilowatts of energy by changing the way we heat the water in your home. That's the problem. Our water heaters are on 24/7 trying to keep 30 or 40 gallons of water hot. It's like keeping a kettle on the stove all day in case you want a cup of coffee tonight. It wastes a lot of energy.
  • Build Wind Generator--Write It Down And Do It - Write it down in your "to do" list--build wind generator! Everyone is vitally involved in the move to cut pollution of our atmosphere by slashing the use of fossil fuels. Every day more power generating stations are being built across the USA and in other countries. Unfortunately the great majority of them are fuelled by burning oil or natural gas. Only about 1% of the power produced in the USA is produced by wind turbines. This is gradually changing with a higher proportion of new power production coming from wind turbines recently. Still this is not nearly enough to stem the ever growing quantities of polluting gases which we pour into the atmosphere.
  • Making Your Baby's Footprint - A baby's footprint says everything: the innocence, tenderness and charm of a newborn. These values come to mind of anyone who sees it. No wonder it is a favorite theme for occasions that call for such, like that of a baby shower.
  • Enhancing Your BMW or MINI With Carbon Fibre Parts - Every once in a while a material comes along that both captures the imagination due to its looks and aesthetics, and also provides tangible benefits in performance and functionality. Carbon fiber is once such material.
  • Carbon Monoxide Alarms - Carbon monoxide is called “the silent killer” for a reason. Virtually undetectable, the colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas sends thousands to the hospital each year. Sadly, hundreds of people die annually from carbon monoxide poisoning, and many of these deaths could have been prevented. Carbon monoxide poisoning most often occurs in the home as a result of improper ventilation or a leak in a major heating appliance. A blocked chimney or malfunctioning heating equipment can release carbon monoxide gas into your home instead of venting it outside. And because it’s so difficult to detect, it can make you and your family sick before you even realize that it’s there. At low levels, carbon monoxide can cause dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. At higher levels, it can cause unconsciousness, and, eventually, death.

  • Sleep Better With a Clear Conscience! - Part 1: Clear Conscience Yes, it really is a simple as it sounds, it is easier to sleep better with a clear conscience. With Global Warming very much in the news and people getting more and more concerned about their Carbon Footprints, a bedding company have decided to do their best to put your mind at ease. In February 2008 we purchased over 800 trees and proceeded to plant them on property owned by one of our directors, with a promise from him that the trees would be personally cared for by him, and, so long as he was involved with the company (so long as he was alive!!), never cut down! SO, what’s the big deal?

  • Pollute Less by Shaving - A Look at an Eco-Friendly Shaving System - Landfill waste is an issue that everyone is contributing to. With a little effort we can reduce our carbon footprint by cutting down on the amount of plastics and packaging that is heading for the landfill.

The company in question is called Razor Sharp Magnetics Inc. (RSM), and they developed a product called the ecoRazo. As the name suggests, the ecoRazo is a shaving product designed for both men and women that is environmentally friendly (eco-friendly).
  • Soy Candles To Beautify Your Home - The graceful flame on your beautiful scented candle in your living room is actually made of fossil fuel material. Some even contain animal fats. Most people who have decreased their personal carbon output or omitted factory farmed meats from their meals are still using candles that burn fossil fuels. Eliminating these from your life offer an improvement on your "green" lifestyle. Soy candles are a totally natural product made from soy wax which comes from soybean oil. Soybean oil is a byproduct of the production process for soy-based foods which means soy candles are plant-based and made from natural soybeans. Soy candles are a wonderful alternative for people who enjoy the warmth and fragrance candles bring to a room but who are vegans and vegetarians who don't want to use the more common, animal-derived beeswax candles.
  • Carbon Capture and Storage - Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an approach to mitigating climate change by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from large point sources such as power plants and subsequently storing it away safely instead of releasing it into the atmosphere. Technology for capturing of CO2 is already commercially available for large CO2 emitters, such as power plants. Storage of CO2, on the other hand, is a relatively untried concept and as yet (2006) no power plant operates with a full carbon capture and storage system.
  • The Environmental Benefits Of Using Fuel Cleaning Blends - When you make a decision to use a biodiesel blend in your vehicles and machinery that run on gasoline or regular diesel fuels such as Diesel No. 1 or 2, you are being proactive about the environment. You are being even more proactive if you use a cleaning agent such as Fuelboost to your blend. First of all using biodiesel blends help reduce the unburned hydrocarbons that are often the result of using straight diesel. Smog is created form unburned hydrocarbons. This creates the brown gas you see called NOX. If you also add a fuel booster (like Fuel Boost) that is designed to decarbonizes engines you will drastically cut the amount of unburned particle matter that you discharge into the atmosphere. Aside from the particulates and NOX, the use of biodiesel can help cut emissions of sulfur oxides by as much as 8%.
  • Does Your Erp System Have A Carbon Footprint? - When you study history, you see that the challenges society faces are cyclical in nature.

The buzz words have changed: global warming, carbon footprints, diversity. But the issues remain as thorny and controversial as ever.

  • Latest Trends in Recipes and Cooking. - Our society's growing consciousness about the impact of our actions on the planet's health and well-being is being felt in the kitchen. Increasingly, the trend in recipes and cooking revolves around finding ingredients that are produced locally. Home cooks are recognizing that fruit and vegetables grown in other states and other countries gobble up energy to package and transport them to market. This leaves a big carbon footprint - a consequence that a growing number of families wish to avoid. As a result, shoppers are seeking out fresh food and produce that is locally grown. For some, this means regularly visiting farmers markets; for others, it means inquiring about the source of fresh food at the grocery store.

  • The Ruse At The Muse Exposed.Carbon Based Global Warming Is A Hoax! - Not so long ago,I went to the London museum and look what I found. What you can see in the picture on the wall behind me is an illustration of how the average daily temperature of a given region of our planet has varied greatly over different time periods. Another one of many documented examples can be found in a reference to 11th century England during the reign of King Harold. It refers to a battle the King's soldiers had against an army of invading Norwegian soldiers. Because the weather was so hot (and this medieval period has been well-documented for high temperatures), the Norwegian soldiers lost the battle at Stamford Bridge, London, because they did not wear their armoury. -They had decided it was too hot to wear...

  • If You Believe Asthmatics Have Weak Lungs - Think Again! - There seems to be a myth that's been accepted by everyone and that is that asthmatics have weak lungs. Why is that and what if it's wrong?

Not just in sport but also in everyday life. In one article I read, one young teenager used to use hide away and use his inhaler in private because he didn’t want anybody to know that he needed one. That it was a type of affliction. Why was that? Was it because he felt that he’s was weaker or sicklier person for having asthma?
