simpleenergy: RuralZED zero carbon homes
http://simpleenergy.blogspot.com/2010/01/ruralzed-zero-carbon-homes.html
Tuesday, January 05, 2010. RuralZED zero carbon homes. I have mentioned zero carbon homes a couple of times on this blog. The first one I mentioned way back in July 06 was the Earthips made from recycled materials. See article. The problem with Earthships is that they are lot of work to build. This problem is solved by the land arks and garden arks that I wrote about in in July 09. See article. The feature and technologies in the full level 6 house are very impressive: -. Vertical axis wind turbine.

Confused Ramblings: Lifestraw
http://confusedramblings.blogspot.com/2007/07/lifestraw.html
The thoughts and ideas of a man with too much time on his hands. It is sometimes the case that a truly simple invention can change the world (The bicycle, the compass, the telegraph). The Lifestraw may be such an idea. The Lifestraw designed by Danish innovator Torben Vestergaard Frandsen is straw shaped personal water purification device that allows a person to drink directly from a contaminated water source. The straw design is incredibly simple: -. The water then pases through iodine impregnated beads.

My Refuge: Thankfulness
http://prayerful30.blogspot.com/2008/08/thankfulness.html
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Psalm 91:2. Saturday, 9 August 2008. This afternoon when Ruby woke from her nap she was tearful and clingy so I put some music on and sat with her in my lap and sang. I think this is fast becoming my favourite worship song. It makes me cry. My heart is filled with thankfulness. To Him who bore my pain;. Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace. And gave me life again;. Who crushed my curse of sinfulness. Is given by the King;.

Confused Ramblings: Giant banana
http://confusedramblings.blogspot.com/2008/12/giant-banana.html
The thoughts and ideas of a man with too much time on his hands. I caught the train today while carrying my snowboard on my backpack. The base is yellow and the ticket guy asked me if I knew I was being followed by a giant banana. The other ticket guy said that he didn't think the risk of snow was that great. If only they could put the same effort into running a decent service that they do into making witty comments. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Jamie and Tom Blog.

Confused Ramblings: Mmmmmm Blood
http://confusedramblings.blogspot.com/2007/09/mmmmmm-blood.html
The thoughts and ideas of a man with too much time on his hands. I just finished giving blood about half an hour ago and can happily await my blue card. Apparently twiddling a juggling ball speeds up my blood flow to 70ml/min. This means it should be possible to completely insanguinate (good word) me in 65 minutes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

simpleenergy: LandArks zero carbon off grid homes
http://simpleenergy.blogspot.com/2009/07/landarks-zero-carbon-by-off-grid-homes.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. LandArks zero carbon off grid homes. Off grid zero carbon homes are about the most environmentally sound lifestyle choice you can make. Producing their own electricity and collecting and filtering their own water they have virtually no impact environment whatsoever. The last time I wrote about zero carbon homes that could be completely detached from the grid (water, electricity, drains) it was Earthships. They are made of wood sourced from FSC. They have a curved living green roof ...

Http:/ www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/oct/23/biofuels-energy. Something interesting I spotted on the BBC today:. Distributed power to save Earth. I'm no expert on the technologies involved, or the economics of it, but if this would work, I'd even consider the whole "Europe" thing, as the idea itself seems totally logical.

simpleenergy: July 2009
http://simpleenergy.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2009. EDF are running a 'green britain' campaign at the moment to support a national renewables awareness day. Leaving aside the debate as to whether their mix of coal and nuclear can be considered green, what's really cheeky is that they nicked Ecotricity's logo for it:. Npower and british gas are having a dig as well, claiming they are green every day of the year. Let the greenwashing begin! Sunday, July 19, 2009. LandArks zero carbon off grid homes. Could be the perfect choice. ...
