Have you ever idly wondered what goes into the packet or tin of dog food, you lovingly feed your dog? Perhaps you fear the worst and don’t want to know. Putting your head in the sand may make you feel a bit better in the short term, but it is likely to cost you dearly in the long term.
Why?
Food, by virtue of its daily consumption, is one of the most important parts of your health. And obviously the same applies to your dog.
I added a new component to my solar powered water pump today. It’s a charge controller that will make sure the battery is charged properly, ie not over charged. I will say that the system I’ve put together here is not cheap, the pump alone was $89, battery $25, charge controller was $23, and the solar cell was $99. Now that I know what I’m doing I think I can shop around and find less expensive components. I would like to get the whole project under $100.
Jacob Bilabel (CEO THEMA1) on Product Carbon Footprint (CO2 Fussabdruck). Interview at the Trendforum 2008, Munich. www.pcf-projekt.de http In the first project of its kind in Germany, ten businesses have come together to measure the emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases related to selected products and services the Product Carbon Footprint, or so called PCF. Participating companies are: BASF, dm-drogerie markt, DSM, FRoSTA, Henkel, Tchibo, Deutsche Telekom / T-Home, Tetra Pak, REWE Group and the Tengelmann Group. Overseen by WWF, the Öko-Institut (Institute for Applied Ecology), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and THEMA1, the Project will work towards an international standard methodology for PCF measurement. Furthermore the Project will explore the possibility of communicating PCF to customers and end users, taking into account recent developments in other markets. Discussions are currently underway with stakeholders and existing international initiatives about the PCF methodology and communication requirements developed by the Project’s working groups. The Project will then present its preliminary statements on methodology and communication early 2009. On the basis of these initial results, the partners and participating firms will consider the continuation and expansion of the Project to include other interested companies

A lot of people think of these large panels on the roof of homes, when they think of solar energy and solar power. Let’s talk about some other solar energy facts. Although it came to light, so to speak, in the 1960s, solar energy has advanced and can be used for everything from warming our households to fueling our cars. Solar energy is free. Our electrical energy bills get higher each and every year. We can take this solar power using Earth4Energys kit for a fraction of what it cost us for electricity. We hear that the environment is having troubles with global warming, green house gases, but solar power if we decide to use and invest in it, is positive for the environment.
