It has been reported in most parts of the world that pedal power is the new alternative way to get to places. However, there are some people who may not be able to appreciate the leg power that modern bikes provide but this new solar powered bike called the Cycle Sol can perhaps fix all of that.
The Cycle Sol is in the concept stage but Mr Miljevic hopes to be able to mass-produce it once he has found a manufacturer.
He said: “It is just li

Just how serious is your carbon footprint? We keep on hearing on how to renew our ways but apparently most of us don’t even know what carbon footprints are about. Sure we all know that it has something to do with global warming, climate chance and renewed resources. But as far as becoming socially responsible people, it would be best to check out these sites so we can have an idea of our shortcomings towards a greener world to live in.

If you think carbon emissions are primarily caused by gas-belching vehicles then guess again. This time around, even the standard gas-powered home mowers need to watch out as there are new emission rules that will be enforced to lower the emissions that they cause each time home owners decide to have their lawns trimmed.
Beginning in 2011, new gas-powered lawn and garden equipment of less than 25 horsepower will be required to reduce emissi

The regulars at The Buck in Ashton on Mersey, which is near Manchester, UK, are getting into the green habit by ordering beer that is recognised as being eco friendly. They have become one of the first pubs in the country to sell green beer over the counter on tap.
This beer, which has been named by brewers Adnams, East Green, is not only popular with those green minded individuals, it has appealed to all customers no matter what their thoughts

In an effort to transform and limit its carbon footprint, Taco del Mar has taken the initiative to change its current line of food packaging and do its part for contributing towards eco-friendly awareness as far as business is concerned. To most consumers, it would not matter as long as they get their meals but sooner or later, most of us will appreciate the efforts of these companies such as Taco del Mar in doing away with the waste.

One thing about delivering goods to vital distribution areas is transporting them through rigs and trucks. We all know for a fact that the emissions that these large trucks let out contribute towards the growing concern of pollution and health concerns. For Fonterra, picking up milk from the farms can be seen as one of these harmful contributors but all that is about to change.

Soda water is apparently something familiar to us as a social drinking substance or something that can hit the spot in times of thirst. But you would be surprised at its other uses, mostly by being a solution towards cleaning certain items such as rugs, mugs or your usual room carpet.

Most great homes today make use of the fireplace to get a relaxing feel as well as warmth when it comes to homes located in cold climate regions. However, the problem of some homes is the matter of pollution produced by burning wood and of course the supply of wood, a resource that is undoubtedly dilapidating by the day.
Fire crystals have been introduced these days as a better alternative. They make use of natural gas and are a lot less pollut

The idea of an eco nightclub would initially sound like a place that would be in the open countryside away from everyone else and with limited facilities, a bit a music festival!
But this club called Surya is nothing like that it is in fact a real nightclub, but with a difference. Walkers and cyclists get in for free and as for the dance floor, well this is something completely different for it has been designed to generate its own electricity w

The Fourth of July is just three days away and you can bet that most people are figuring out how to celebrate this annual event in the most eco-friendly way possible. For sure, fireworks will be the first in mind. But are there any eco-friendly fireworks within reach?

Most people today look towards air conditioning as a form of added bonus when it comes towards working effectively and living leisurely. Apparently, these AC units also have a bearing when it comes to Ozone layer depletion and such should be addressed as well.
Blue Star has taken that step in installing Variable Refrigerant Flow air conditioning systems to prevent Ozone layer issues as well as a part of their going green program as well.

For the people who love to cook and eat, here are some good recipes to check out. We all hear of eco-friendly food around but the problem is we really cannot depict which are adhering towards eco-friendly principles. Much of this depends on how we are able to patronize consumer goods that are produced using the proper raw materials from eco-friendly practices.
Such a practice is being offered in the market today by Fiscalini Farms which produce

Whether you run a restaurant or a dry cleaner, there are things you can do to lower your carbon footprint. It all starts by taking an assessment of your enterprise and looking around at your various departments. You can do a complete overhaul, or you can start small and build from there.

These street lights are a sort of double option, we have seen solar powered lights before but these can be very reluctant to charge up fully when there is not too much sun about, this could then cause problems when the limited amount of power that is stored runs out.
That why these ones in Japan have been built with solar power and a wind turbine, the solar panels charge up the batteries during the day, while the wind turbine tops up the power

This is an idea that could help out with the power problems of the future, this is a wind power type of thing that is said to rival anything else, including nuclear!
This will would produce one giga watt of for around 1.5 euros an hour, if we were to compare this with other methods of power production, then the best type of power production which will cost around 43 euros per hour.
