In the UK survey, planes have been used for a while to map areas, especially remote areas that have no direct access by road, so you can imagine the shock when the flight crew spotted an unchartered village in Wales.
It turns out that village has been there for five years, they generate their power and grow their own food, but village, which is home to twenty two people, was without any planning permission and after living the eco life, the fate

Over at Earth First, they have a neat column in which they feature a series of green colleges. This week they feature College of the Atlantic, in Maine.

Considering that the school is dedicated to ecology, it’s no surprise that it’s often called ‘the greenest of them all’. All 325(!) students are personally committed to making the college as green as possible, and not just by planting lots of trees. They activel

What a great way to promote sustainable products, these are made from cork which is a totally sustainable product that comes from a tree. But unlike the cork that pops out of a wine bottle these are an entirely different thing altogether in fact unless you take a real close look at these items it is pretty hard to tell that is in fact cork and not some precious stone or something.
You are able to choose between a necklaces, earrings or a set o

Collecting rain water may seem to be a waste of time, but rain water has many properties as it can be used for drinking, washing and watering the garden, the best thing is that is free and virtually pure.
However collecting it in a useful and practical way is another matter, this is where the water hog comes in, and these are a practical and safe way of collecting your rainwater.
Each Waterhog has a capacity of 183 Litres. The external dimensi

In this age of endless bickering and abnormal lifestyles due to the settlement of global warming in the world in our lives, one has to wonder how it all happened and came to be. Global warming has certainly gone out of manageable proportions and the thing is, global warming is a reality we all have to face today. Worst, it could be something that may reach a point of no return.

Granite work tops look fantastic in the kitchen, because once polished the granite shows off the wonderful colours that would have remained hidden. But there are some disadvantages too, like the fact that it not sustainable and there are transport issues, so although it is natural, producing a nice piece for the kitchen has costs involved.
But as always there is an alternative and you may be surprised at what it is! This great product is concr

So much for global warming efforts but the sudden increase in storms and calamities have made us to believe the sky will indeed fall soon. Continued pollution and disregard for the safety of the environment is bound to take its toll sooner or later and while the constant climate changes have been evitable, it will only be a matter of time before we totally annihilate the skies and make the world a picture of disaster.

Do you know the story of Adam Werbach? It is quite the story.
Adam Werbach was recently featured on the cover of Fast Company, and many are either with the innovative environmentalist or against him.
Why? Because Werbach has decided to join forces with big-box retailer Walmart and help them go green. Many are stating that this is not the way to advocate green living as Walmart is not known for its eco friendly practices.

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.

In my resident state of Mississippi, the fifth and largest biodiesel plant is set to open soon. At full capacity the Scott Petroleum Biodiesel Plant will produce 20 million gallons of B100 a year, making it the largest in the Magnolia state.
This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.
With the growing biodiesel industry the demand for soybean crops is skyrocketed, which is creating a boon
