In the past, manufacturing facilities were notoriously known for their harmful effects on the environment. Today’s companies are much more in tune with the environment as managers seek out intelligent ways to reduce their impact on the world around them. Consider the steps taken today that help a company thrive and preserve the environment at the same time. Consider …

This video “The Truth About Solar” gives a very interesting tour of the solar landscape in 2016 and looks at the future of solar power development.   Source: For a long time, solar power has been very much hated from a cost-benefit standpoint but things are starting to turn around for the technology. Around the world, progress is being made …

Embed from Getty Images A new and greener way to adsorb carbon dioxide has been discovered by a team of scientists at the University of York. This development is significant, because although human activity has been creating more CO2 than the ecosystem can handle, there hasn’t been a relatively eco-friendly way to combat it. Our planet is built to deal …

WELTEC Optimises Wastewater Plants In the future, the anaerobic fermentation and utilisation of sludge from wastewater plants will play an increasingly important role. To ensure an economically and ecologically sustainable solution, more and more municipalities decide to optimise the energy potential of their sewage plants. For a plant dimension of 20,000 to 30,000 PE (population equivalent), biogas plant manufacturer WELTEC …

 AMERICA’S NATURAL GAS SYSTEM IS LEAKY AND IN NEED OF A FIX   The first thorough comparison of evidence for natural gas system leaks confirms that organizations including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have underestimated U.S. methane emissions generally, as well as those from the natural gas industry specifically. Natural gas consists predominantly of methane. Even small leaks from the natural gas system are …

Caltech’s Resnick Sustainability Institute Director Congratulates Taiwan and Calls for More International Cooperation Programs to be Created In order to achieve important breakthroughs that will have substantial impact on the earth’s sustainability, international organizations must work together, said Dr. Harry A. Atwater, Director of Caltech’s Resnick Sustainability Institute and Howard Hughes Professor of Applied Physics. He was speaking at a …

Replacing synthetic fertilizers with organic ones could help reduce climate impacts and improve agricultural systems By Deirdre Lockwood In efforts to mitigate climate change, we’re more likely to think about changing how we power our cars than how we grow our food. But as University of Washington geologist David R. Montgomery likes to remind people, farming has a huge impact …

Environmental, Small Business and Farm Leaders Welcome President Obama’s Vow to Reduce Threat Sixty-five percent of Americans think that climate change is a serious problem and a substantial majority support President’s Obama using his authority to reduce its main cause, dangerous carbon pollution, according to a national poll of 1,218 registered voters conducted immediately after last night’s State of the …

Global climate models may be overstating the warming properties of black carbon particles, according to new research led by the University of California, Davis. The study will be published online Aug. 31 in the journal Science. “Our results don’t change the fact that things are going to warm — just to what degree, literally,” said Christopher Cappa, a UC Davis …

Solar power is one of the most eco-friendly forms of energy available to consumers. Solar technology draws energy from sunlight, which is converted to electricity by exterior-mounted solar panels. One of the disadvantages of solar panels is that a large field of these panels is required to provide the power necessary to fuel a single home, let alone a neighborhood …

Wind energy has been picking up lots of attention lately for both good and bad reasons. This report seems to be one of the good indicators that wind energy is a good part of the alternative energy puzzle we need to assemble in our country to have a diversified energy portfolio. Wind power ten times cleaner than coal, Colorado NREL …

TIME, PLACE AND HOW WOOD IS USED ARE FACTORS IN CARBON EMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATION A new study from the University of California, Davis, provides a deeper understanding of the complex global impacts of deforestation on greenhouse gas emissions. The study, published May 13 in the advance online edition of the journal Nature Climate Change, reports that the volume of greenhouse …

Carbon Storage – and More A novel process developed by a University professor with help from an IREE grant aims to produce clean, renewable energy while reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A University of Minnesota earth sciences professor and a postdoctoral fellow in his work group have imagined a new process for generating electricity with a two-for-one climate benefit. …

So you want to go green. But where do you start? Unless your sibling or significant other happens to be a green energy specialist or sustainable living expert, the path to true eco-friendliness and energy efficiency is difficult to take. Often times homeowners will simply spend money on perceived fixes because some TV talking head said so, while failing to …

Ion bracelet bands are said to have an effect on the ki or lifeforce energy of the body as they aid preserve the proper balance of negative and positive body ionization. The negative ions from the atmosphere were made to be a part of the body’s system. The body requires it to be able to preserve balance and proper functioning. …

Many states have already instituted deregulation among electrical utility companies and electricity rates are already falling. As more and more consumer advocates call for deregulation, consumers all over the country are waiting for cheaper electricity. Deregulation opens up the nation’s electricity rates to competition which is the backbone of the American free enterprise system. Sitting back and waiting on things …

When we speak about renewable energy sources we are referring to energy that delivers energy from resources that can not be depleted as a result of our use of them. Renewable energy is an option to non-renewable fossil fuel energy for causes apart from the factor of non-depletion. One particular fundamental benefit of renewable energy, as well as the reason …
