Yes I believe that the insurgency will end. Why? Well let’s look at history. There is no doubt that some areas of the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan, have a history of endless war and violence. But if we look at the more stable parts of the world for example Europe and India (the largest [...]

Please take a look at the new sustainable living books

We have been looking up how different wood burns. I would suggest experimenting before buying a lot of wood in. some types are very smokey and leave a lot of ash. My books says Oak is best but doh! where would we get oak from?

Any thoughts on what make…

Not sure about the mercury but I  guess they last longer. and they are getting smaller so more able to fit into sockets with shades.

We have heard that there maybe some problems with some goji berry bushes introducing a disease. anyone had any experience? we called thompson and morgan where we got them from they said they hadn't heard of the problem and would ring us back  - nothing…

It’s not easy going green as they say but there are plenty of books to help you on your journey. We have listed four great books that contain detailed information from wind power to chickens.

Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) transfer heat from the ground into a building to provide space heating and, in some cases, pre-heating domestic hot water. For every unit of electricity used to pump the heat, 3-4 units of heat are produced. As well as ground source heat pumps, air source and water source heat pumps [...]

Below are some of the best Green videos of the week, collected by the Ecolive.TV community.
Can’t Close Our Eyes

Narrated by Harrison Ford, “Can’t Close Our Eyes” outlines the threats we face from destroying the world’s natural life support system and the reasons we still have for optimism.

Here in he UK lots of people either burn wood or have the potential to burn wood to heat their homes. As oil and gas prices rise I expect the demand for wood to increase and if the laws of economics apply then the price will start to rise. This will be a great shame. [...]

Biomass fuel briquette production, environmental conservation and income generation for sustainable development.

Chopping, threshing and mashing of the materials for briquetting has always been limited to either a laborious hand pounding or very expensive 5 or 10 Kw hammer milling machines. Legacy has developed over the past year, a unique combination machine, the TMC-1, which threshes, [...]

Are we getting back to the 1970s when the high energy prices started the alternative energy movement? I think it was then that people started making their own energy devices again - wind, solar and biomass. The innovation was wonderful. Too often we see high priced products that just won’t pay and are difficult to [...]

This is the wind speed at which the wind generator begins producing. For all practical purposes, wind speeds below about 6 to 7 mph (3 m/s) provide little or no usable energy, even though the blades may be spinning. At best, this minimal output only overcomes the power losses caused by a long wire run [...]

One of the first scales to estimate wind speeds and the effects was created by Britain’s Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort (1774-1857). He developed the scale in 1805 to help sailors estimate the winds via visual observations. The scale starts with 0 and goes to a force of 12. The Beaufort scale is still used [...]

We should enourage this type of thinking. So it sounds crazy  - but then we know how many other things sounded crazy when they were first voiced. If there were not ideas like this earoplanes would still have propellers, cars would have solid tyers, potatoes would have been left in South America and computers would still be [...]
