It seems that coffee not only produces a kick start in the morning it can also produce a very fine bio diesel too.

 

 

The good thing about this method of producing bio diesel is that it actually takes place after the coffee has been used. This means that all of those coffee shops around the world could be sitting on a potential gold mine as it is the oil that the grounds contain that can be used, you have to wonder though, does the exhaust smell like the inside of Starbucks?

But there is a good point to this, as it can be used inside as well as outside.

It’s made from recycled plastic, light and easy to fix up and take down. There is not much information on the size or price, but you can get an idea of the size by the plants that are inside. As long as they are not miniature plants of course!

You would have thought so, but Viva Terra have come up with their own miniature organic lemon trees.

Grow your own organic lemons

These can be grown inside or if you have the weather for it, outside, but wherever you choose to grow these lemon trees the end result is still the same. The lemons can be used as you would use a shop bought lemon, but imagine this is a lemon that you have grown!

To start your mini citrus farm, you may want to start with these, Organic Dwarf Meyer Lemon ($15 surcharge) $159 and Dwarf Meyer Lemon in Root of the Earth Bowl ($20 surcharge) $219. Plant 8″ H and Earth Bowl Pot 9″ D.

Orange Guard Natural Insect Killer

Most of us are concerned with the pests that usually surface in our surroundings. While most of them really irritate people as far as biting people and making it overly uneasy to be on, it remains that they carry potential health risks that may turn out to be risky as far as dealing with new illnesses that are transmitted through them.

We are all familiar of the usual aerosol insecticide to make sure that they are killed, but the effects that these have on the atmosphere and at the environment is equally crucial as well.

With the Orange Guard Natural Insect Killer, a non-toxic repellant that can be used anywhere may be the right recourse to help in turning towards organic products to coincide with the needs of people today.

Effective and safe use for indoor or outdoor applications without harmful toxic pesticides. Orange Guard® will eliminate most insects including; ants, roaches, crickets, fleas, flies, silverfish, garden pests, and many others. It works as a contact insect killer and provides a broad residual repellent to keep insects away for weeks.

And yet this bio mass is perfect for the production of a bio fuel. This is because for one it such as in carbon dioxide, this reduces the amount in the atmosphere and then it can also be made into the bio fuel, so there you it two great features for algae.

Algae grows up to forty times faster than most other plants which means if compared to other bio fuel crops then the algae wins again because it an acre will produce between ten and one hundred times more energy, cool!
