Think Natural, Preserve Green

How green is natural gas?

With the tide (thankfully) starting to turn against coal fired power generation,renewable energy is finding favor, as is electricity generated via the combustion of natural gas. Is natural gas green?

Tires and the environment

There's a common perception the tires we put on our vehicles are made of rubber, a renewable resource. Unfortunately, well over 90% of all tires are made from synthetics - and they have certainly proved to be an environmental headache.

Once tires have reached the end of their serviceable lives, they tend to be dumped in huge piles. If these piles should be set alight, the smoke is an extraordinarily toxic cocktail and the runoff from melted residue can contaminate groundwater.

Tires left sitting around in the open also collect rainwater and become perfect breeding grounds for mosquitos.

Transport Infrastructure - Challenges Of Modern Living

During the recent economic downturn experienced in New Zealand as a result of the global recession, the role of transport infrastructure was confirmed as a key route to ensuring the competitiveness of the country in the global markets. This is reflected in New Zealand’s governmental policy of encouraging and facilitating quality transport infrastructure, recognising its importance to the building of a resilient and successful economy. Efficient transport infrastructure allows individuals and families to access employment, enables businesses a cost effective route to market, reduces the environmental impact through efficient design and promotes international trade. 

Make a Green Home to global warming reduce

Making a green home can have a number of advantages for you, your family and the environment. It can save you money on your energy and water bills, as well as the general up keep and maintenance of your home. A green home can also reduce your ecological footprint by reducing your reliance on fossil fuels and minimising the production of waste. Another reason to building green is the improvement on your quality of life and the health of your family.

How Does Global Warming Affect Our Climate?

Global warming describes the increase of the earth's average temperature beginning with the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. Although increases to the planet's average temperature have been recorded in ice core data for millions of years, the speed and frequency of the current temperature increase has resulted in this recent heating episode being called global warming. It is attributed to the increase in the burning of fossil fuels initially for steam engines and then in the creation of electricity. Both the fossil fuel consumption and temperature rise curves have increased exponentially in the last two centuries, leading the scientific community to conclude that the use of fossil fuels is the one of the main causes of global warming.

Green Living With Tava Tea - 100% Pure Green Tea To Lose Weight

Although it may look like that Tava Tea wellness blend is like any other tea on the market, it has some properties that the others do not. Similar to Earl Grey and Darjeeling teas, Sencha, Oolong and Puerh have been around for a very long time and considered beneficial for one's health. The Chinese have been drinking Sencha, Puerh and Oolong for more than five hundred years. Tava Tea, with all its great nutrients, is a perfect blend of these three teas.

Effective Green Saving

Solar energy-a powerful renewable resource of energy that comes from the sun- is a huge trend that is catching on and providing us with electricity. This clean resource is catching on quick because of how safe it is for our environment. Unlike fossil fuels, we don’t need to burn gas and pollute the air causing acid rain. Solar is becoming more affordable to homes and business. Companies like Earthsponse provide and install solar panels for a very affordable price, and money is saved by seamlessly never ending electricity. While we still contribute hazards to our environment by everyday pollution, solar technology plays a key role to start a new beginning, to protect the atmosphere. 

Spa Water Treatment Options

Since mankind decided that hot tubs would be fun we have had to face the challenge of keeping that water clear and safe. Chlorine and Bromine have been in use since almost day one. Both have their advantages. They kill everything. The down side is also that they kill everything. By that I mean that Chlorine and Bromine are both caustic chemicals. That is both how they function and what makes them less desirable. Not only do they kill germs and bacteria but they are harmful to your skin, hair, bathing suits, spa jets, pump impellers, pets and environment. With the heightened awareness of the environment and our own physical health, there has been a wide variety of alternatives to the old standards.

Going Green With Wind Turbines

Wind Turbine Energy: A New and Green Alternative

When people think about finding green sources of energy, they often turn to solar power. While it is true that solar energy is a clean alternative to using traditional fuels such as gas and electricity, it is not the only green option available. Wind turbine energy is method of generating energy that is not new in theory since there are many who know how to generate electricity using wind. However, wind turbine energy is still a new form of powering an entire home.
