Making Your Home Carbon Neutral Your Carbon Footprint
For an individual, the personal carbon footprint, including their share of emissions from the home (for example, if 4 people live in your home, then divide the total output by 4, and accept a quarter responsibility for the total emissions), should be in the region of between 1,000 to 6,000 kg. This is tonnage of annual carbon emissions an individual is responsible for. The ideal figure for an individual, living within a sustainable carbon budget is up to 1,000 kg.
This is very interesting and should lead us into sustainable design |

Bicycle History in Debate
Some history books will state that Pierre and Ernest Michaux, the French father and son team of carriage-makers, invented the first bicycle during the 1860s. Historians now disagree and there is evidence that the bicycle is older than that. However, historians do agree that Ernest Michaux did invent the modern bicycle pedal and cranks in 1861. |

Have you ever thought of riding a bike to work whilst stuck in traffic gridlock?
Many have, often deciding against the idea because it seemed like too much work or the travel distance was too great. Well, this may just be the solution you were looking for.
In our quest to reduce global pollution many inspired inventors, scientists and ordinary people have come up with some amazing and innovative solutions to some of modern life's everyday requirements. From apartment worm composting to building roads from pop bottles, we are really "stepping up to the plate" and creating functional alternatives to our polluting ways. |

Sandia National Laboratories and Boeing are collaborating on a project looking at the feasibility of using a hydrogen-powered fuel cell for providing backup power in aircraft.
Commercial and military aircraft use a variety of techniques for providing backup electrical power to critical subsystems during emergency scenarios. Depending on the aircraft, these may include dedicated battery power, in-flight operation of the auxiliary power unit, a ram air turbine, or other technologies. |

Low-impact lifestyler extraordinaire, John Hermans, devised and built a water wheel for Earth Garden’s writer and forest campaigner, Jill Redwood. Jill can now refill her water tank from the Brodribb River near her farmhouse in Victoria’s East Gippsland. Her water wheel is silent, pumps about a litre a minute, goes 24 hours a day, has only one small moving part, and works on an ancient principle. Here John describes how to build one. |
