Robert Green, an American inventor has made some new technology that runs on waste heat and can power generators and or water pumps,as well as other small to medium sized items. This invention weighs only 1 to 5 pounds and can be used to power things as big as a boat! Not only that, but it can also be powered by any type of heat source as well as other things. The generator is now available in a kit and can be seen in action at http://www.greensteamengine.com/.

Biolet
By Rico
The new innovative piece of technology that everyone should have. The Biolet, a composisting toilet that doesn't even use an ounce of water, here! It takes our human feces, churning it within a chamber below the toilet exposing it to bacteria friendly decomposers to do all the work. Still churning it will reduce your waste volume by 90%. I couldn't include all the other advantages incorporated with this fairly simple yet complex device. Once done or whenever you want to you can take it all out to use natural resources to fertilize your plants. If you're worried about smell there is a chimney shaft to release it outdoors (still it doesn't smell.) Overall this new home improvement saves on your water bill up to 6,300 dollars on septic installtion and between 200-1500 dollars on water. The biolet, the inovating piece of technology that everyoneonce again should have especially if you want to aid in the world's recovery.

Turning Algae into America's New Energy
Whoa!! Hold on. the use of gas is over the top .More then ever befor. This is not good because it may not be poluting the atmosfear and we will run out soon. there,s a new energy in the form of algae. Yes Algea. It's simple the oil it produces is able to be harvested and turned into biodiesel and the algae’s carbohydrate content can be fermented into ethanol. Both are much cleaner-burning fuels than petroleum-based diesel or gas. The reality is more complex. Trying to grow concentrations of the organism is a bit like trying to balance the water in a fish tank. It’s also expensive. The water needs to be the right temperature for algae to proliferate, and even then open ponds can become killed with invasive species. Atmospheric levels of CO2 also aren’t high enough to spur exponential growth. So hopefuly this is a good direction we can good.

First "Green" Baseball Park
The Washington Nationals opened up their new stadium last year as the first stadium to recieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Enviromental Design." It features energy-saving light fixtures, water-conserving plumbing, drought-resistant plants, and a green roof. There will be air cooled concessins instead of water too. This will save an estimated 6 million gallons of water a year.
Earth Hour
After seeing several posters promoting a -light free- hour on Saturday night at my school entitled; Earth Hour! I wanted to know more. I found from 8:30 -9:30pm this Saturday, we, along with lots more people are supposed to turn off our lights. But why? After doing a little research I found the International Earth Hour is an event developed by the WWF - no not the World Wrestling Federation - the World Wide Fund for Nature/World Wildlife Fund and each year on the last Saturday of March, it is held. It asks businesses and households to turn off their non-essential lights and electronics to help the enviroment. It all started in Sydney, Australia and has been passed on to other cities. After researching the WWF, I found that is the largest independent conservation organization with over 5 million supporters worldwide. It's a charity having 9% of it's funding from voluntary donations by individuals and businesses. Organizations like Coca-Cola are even turning off their signs to support Earth Hour. So Turn it off.
