One thing that you can consider to make your house more elegant is the color of your wall paint outdoors.
Wall of a dark color will absorb heat between 70-90% of the total solar radiation that hit the area. Some of this heat would go into the house by way of conduction in the wall that would lead to heat inside the house. This would increase the energy needed to cool the room up to 20%.
The bright colors will reflect most of the rays and heat away from your home. The color is not necessarily white, but a green or blue color is good that is more bright color.
Wall with vines can also protect the wall from the heat by putting blocks sunlight and reflected it in advance. Select vines that is easy to care.
Even the smallest contribution will continue to conserve our energy and improve the environment.

Every year the power plant which utilizes the potential of renewable energy such as solar and wind increased in the megawatt scale. But unfortunately until now the media storage of surplus energy that produced by renewable energy power plants still has not find the technology. Battery until now is still the main alternative, but the high price and limitations of rechargeable cycle is a certain constraint which is still looked for completion by scientists.
Switching from the battery, researchers in Germany have discovered a new method to store excess electricity production from renewable energy generation. If the gas usually burned to generate electricity, then the process is reversed. Excess electrical energy converted into synthetic natural gas.
These methods were developed by the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research (ZSW) in Baden-Württemberg, Germany and working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Technology and Energy Systems (IWES) and Diesel Fuel Technology, an Austrian company who is responsible in preparing for implementation in the industry.
The process that is used for conversion is still relying on electrolysis with methanization, namely the process of mixing between hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Results of chemical reactions that occur is synthetic methane. The advantage is that methane gas can be mixed with gas and then funneled into the gas distribution pipeline infrastructure that exists, without the need of creating a separate infrastructure.

Do you have air conditioning at home or office? Have you ever thought where you dispose of the waste water from air conditioner condensation? Usually people make long pipe and discharged into waterways, or there is also dispose into the street which eventually spilling water everywhere and a pool of water. Though the water’s been increasingly difficult and we throw away the water that can still be used for watering plants, cleaning the floor, or other.
Actually we can make newly installed air conditioners in our home or office and put a bucket in each AC pipes to collect water so that can reused. Maybe we can make pipe that connects the office air conditioning to some large pot so it does not need too much in the flush anymore or even do not need watering again.
At home, just plug it into a bucket of water in the morning and you can be used for watering the plants. As much as possible we do not use a valuable ground water for our use only for watering the plants. Use the remaining water from the air conditioner and / or rain water that has been accommodated. AC pipes can be designed so as to not block views or exacerbate environmental aesthetics and looks to be a part. For the countries, where water is very critical, they must conserve water as much as possible and the city government just issuing regulations regarding the design for the building where the waste water from the AC must be stored in underground storage, and will be used as irrigation for the garden around the building.
The point is we should be able to find a way for all sorts of water is not wasted, and should be utilized. We can say it still floods hit everywhere but the problem is underground water that has less and less when it is used only after the water discharged into the street and river. This is cause of water crisis.
What’s more your idea? And what else is wasted water that we can use again? Let’s think together.

That is one of the slogans of the trends that exist across the world. We can begin to reduce our plastic waste to not wear it but replace it.
1. Do not use plastic bags for shopping. Bring your own shopping bag that can always be used again.
2. Do not just throw away plastic bottle after drinking. Fill with water again and again, although not too many refill. Approximately 5 times disposable still okay. For the usual drink in the car, prepare a bottle is always fully charged.
3. It’s better to buy a drink bottles that can be refilled and do not always have to buy another bottle of mineral water.
4. In western countries many cafes like Starbucks have started to allow customers to bring their own mugs or better to fill a coffee Thermos. Plastic bags can still be used again. But if the plastic glass can only once.
Sometimes it is also difficult if not inserted with an incentive to the customer. Yet if we do not use plastic bags or plastic cup of cafe will also reduce their costs thereby increasing profits.
So in western countries have a lot of entrepreneurs who want to come help provide incentives such as supermarkets which offer a discount when not using their plastic bags such as Aldi or Albertsons. IKEA instead will force customers to pay for plastic bags. With this IKEA expects customers will reduce consumption of plastic bags which reach 70 million bags per year just for the United States.
Singapore began to assign a particular day as “Bring Your Own Bag” Day, where customers are required to bring their own pockets and who does not carry required to pay the 30 cents that will be used for environmental activities. Shopping bags that can be reused now a best seller in Singapore. Continue reading Solution to reduce plastic waste
Prototype of solar-powered airplane, Solar Impulse, successfully underwent the first flight test in Switzerland, with a speed of 45 kilometers per hour.
The project coordinator who helped lead the project said that Solar Impulse takeoff smoothly at Payerne Air Field. With the power 10 electric motors, light aircraft with a passenger and the pilot climbed slowly up to 1200 meters above sea level and landing after the air for 87 minutes.
Team of 70 people have worked seven years to build this solar plane and have a dream that there will be solar powered aircraft that travel the world in 2013.
Wingspan is almost the same aircraft with the Airbus A340 and weighs 1600 kilograms. Part-wing aircraft fitted 12,000 solar cells that can fill an electric motor and battery weighing 400 pounds.
Using nature source to clean the nature is the most appropriate method. When the territorial sea of a country is often marred by the tanker-oil tanker carrying crude oil from some countries to other countries, micro bacteria who live freely in the sea could be used to extract the oil at sea more quickly.
Name of the bio remediation process, which means eliminating pollutants by biological processes. Bio degradation is the decomposition process of oil at sea with biological materials, one with bacteria. Within three years study, it is discovered 182 new species and 53 genera in three areas of the sea territorial which became the main route of tankers, namely the Malacca Strait, Sunda Strait, and the Lombok Strait.
Instead of thinking about materials with chemical substances to clean the sea and ended up re-contaminate, it’s better utilize the wealth of marine bacteria. Fumiyoshi Okazaki, one of the researchers from Japan Nite, presents the research, titled “Diversity and Functional Analysis of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacterial Communities in Coastal Zones of Indonesia.” The study centered on the Straits of Malacca and Lombok Straits mentions the role of Acinetobacter and Alcanivorax a very dominant role in bio degradation. Natural microbes that are responsible for remediation of oil. The population of bacteria are constantly working and levels of n-Alkanes in constantly also decreased after seven days incubation period.
The Uses of solar cells as an energy source for vehicle in the Shell Eco-marathon competition 2010 in America proved more frugal. Among the 48 participants with a variety of vehicle types of conventional or alternative fuels, solar cell vehicle that design by student at Purdue University from the State of Indiana, United States, proved to be most efficient with a mileage equivalent to 1933.5 kilometers per liter of gasoline.
Traveled distance of 1933.5 kilometers per liter is calculated equivalent to 4548 miles per gallon (mpg) targeting 4913 mpg mileage. The participation of SEM for the third time believes that solar cell energy source capable of becoming an alternative fuel vehicle in the future.
In Asia or other tropical regions with abundant sunshine, solar cells should be further developed. At the same categories for gasoline-fueled vehicle types reach the distance to 1057.5 kilometers per liter.
In SEM America in 2009, a team from Laval University is a winner with a distance of 1172.2 kilometers traveled per liter. Category use of hydrogen fuel at American SEM 2010 achieve the distance equivalent to 331.99 miles per gallon of gasoline. For the category of urban concepts, student team Mater Dei High School Indiana became the winner with a gasoline-fueled vehicles. The distance reached 185.87 kilometers per liter.
SEM American venue in 2010 in Houston is the first time using public facilities such as highways circling the city park Discovery Green, Houston. Shell Party rate, this is the inspiration for the next administration. Competition on the highway has become the most tangible demonstration to launch and create innovations for vehicles with priority given to energy efficiency.
