This is great idea and can be made fairly cheaply and from products that are quite easily obtainable.
What is does, is you can put any water into it, and the sunlight will do the rest for you. The end product being perfectly safe drinking water.
The hardest part is the shaping of the mirror, this will take a lot of work, but once that has been done then the rest is fairly straight forward.

Out of 181 candidates ex-presidential candidate Al Gore and the U.N. Climate Panel both are to share 1.5 million in prize money for winning the Nobel Peace Prize today.
Al Gore, 59, who was behind the documentary, The Inconvenient Truth, pretty much single handedly has brought massive attention and awareness to climate change, global warming, and green living.
Gore will go down in history as the founder of the green movement and now with winin

It will not be long before we see in the stores clothing that has solar power equipment built into it, this will mean that the wearer will be able to charge a PDA or cell phone up, without having to return home for the charger.
These new materials, called “Power Textiles” will come with connectors and maybe even lights, which will be great for travelling around when the light is fading.
With solar technology advancing all of the time, this

Cool new gadget due out at the end of October, HY Mini, it converts wind energy into power that can charge a cell phone, digital camera, iPod, PDA, and other small electronics.
For example, you can attach the HYmini to bike handlebars or your arm while jogging or walking and this eco friendly charger/adapter will collect power for later.

With a world that is dead serious in combating the whole issue of lacking energy, conferences and meetings from various participating countries normally meet and share views to propose and shed light towards the options that they can look at when it comes to overall efforts of finding more renewable sources of energy.
Such will be the agenda which aims to elaborate more on the solar and hydro energy sources in various parts of the world.

Bikes are an eco friendly option to get to work, to do some light shopping, or to meet friends. Electric scooters are aimed at those who want to drive their cars less but may need abit more speed than a traditional bike.
Take a look at the eGo, an electric scooter, that tops 23 MPH and fully recharges in 4-6 hours. This sleek electric bike comes in four bold colors and features an airplane chassis, 2 batteries, and 2 electronically-controll

Those throw away batteries are really no good at all, they only have around enough power for a few hours and then they are trash. But they are not finished, there are nasty chemicals that build up and get into the ground, not very nice at all.
However there are alternatives, rechargeable batteries are very affordable these days and like these new Sanyo Eneloop Batteries, these do not self discharge, they are ready to be used straight from the

It’s true to say that solar panels never used to be the most prettiest of eco friendly additions that you could make to home, they were large and not very efficient.
But forget about that now, for solar panels have had a make over and they are looking good. Solar technology has move along so far that they hardly resemble their old relations. Each small panel is capable of powering a fan so if you completely cover the entire roof space, then w

Image a street lined with these solar trees, wouldn’t the world be a better place? Maybe no but a street with these light would be a nice place to live.
But this is more than just light or tree’s, it is a statement of beauty and art, as well as being an eco friendly way of lighting up the streets at night.
This has been a scheme that will be on display at a museum in Austria in October.

Laundry services are just one of the other services that guests enjoy when they check in with hotels like Marriott’s Hotel. But while the process may seem to be another one of those issues that contribute towards overall waste of energy and water, the green laundry system of Marriott’s Hotel is something to behold.
They save around 35% from energy and other resources used as water. The process is something to look upon considering that they

In London, England there is a process happening that is using unusual practices to combat energy IN-EFFICIENCY in homes. They are using heat mapping to locate homes that have great heat loss and making the data available for all to see.
From what i can gather the way this practice works is that an airplane with some sort of thermal imaging whatchamacallit is able to transcribe the heat of the homes. This info is then made available to t

This white is really green, I mean really green! It is covered with tiles that can be turned over and put back into the place that they came from, and they then have a little indent which is just ideal for growing some herbs, which would make the dinner party a little interesting.
Of course you could always leave a few empty as they would be also being ideal for putting some peanuts into!

Solar power is creeping in everywhere these days and now there is a kit for a bike. Now you can either buy it as the kit and do some tech installing or if like the idea but cannot be bothered with all that hands on stuff, then thankfully you can also but the complete solar powered bike.
Once charged up the bike will reach speeds of up to 19 mph! But do you really want travel at that speed on a bike?
The kit costs $795 and the complete solar pow

This lamp not only looks cool, but it is also eco friendly. Why? Because it has a giant wind up key stuck in the side, which actually works, yes this is a wind up lamp that runs off of its own power.
These are great because you wind it up, and when it has finished the light it turned off, so there is no wasted energy.
It would be great to see other devices powered by the green energy.

Now you can store your favourite wines in an eco friendly way, rather than one that churns out CFC’s. It uses a different type of cooling system, the thermo electric cooling system.
The cooler will hold up to six bottles of wine, all kept at the correct temperature and all in an eco friendly manner, which not only saves the world, it also saves you money as it uses less power.

Simple, it takes alot less water (280 gallons of water less) and land (12 to 50 square feet of land less) to grow peanuts than it does livestock, according to the PB&J Campaign. It’s simple eco math.

Rather than sink and die, algae microbes have been known to simply appear and later on die in the ocean, these are now seen to be a new alternative towards helping address the climate change that has been evidently present in the world today.
Biodiesel is being linked as an extract from the algae, which are known to pack denser energy than most plants.
