		<description><![CDATA[ Share Green living has come to dominate the corporate landscape, so much so that most grocery stores now offer three options for bagging your purchases. You can choose paper, plastic, or buy reusable cloth bags for a couple of dollars a pop. Unfortunately, most people select plastic in a misguided attempt to stop deforestation, never realizing that the damage wrought by plastic bags is potentially far more detrimental to our environment. So if you haven’t taken the initiative to purchase truly green reusable grocery bags , here are just a few reasons why you should follow suit on your denial of paper with a push towards less plastic. You might not even realize the harm you could be doing to yourself, your family, and the planet when you pick plastic.

		<description><![CDATA[ Phillip Rye asked: It seems like about three million of you have asked me to explain how a geothermal system works. Well, maybe not three million, but it&#8217;s a bunch of you and I&#8217;m honored that I have the opportunity to do it. Now you&#8217;ve probably already figured out that I&#8217;m not smart enough to be real technical, but I do have some common sense. So I will use a common-sense approach to explain how the most efficient heating and cooling system available today can help you. Actually you could get the Oct. 25, 1948, issue of Life magazine and get a great explanation. That&#8217;s correct, 1948. Geothermal units are not new, but it has only been in recent years that they&#8217;ve gained in popularity. It just takes awhile for adults to embrace new ideas, especially if they cost more money. Notice that I said adults. When I show high school students how you can spend $50 more per month on installing a geothermal unit and save $75 per month on your utility bill, they simply say &#8220;cool.&#8221; No discussion or argument. They would take it in a minute. OK, OK &#8211; here&#8217;s how it works. All energy comes from the sun. Mr. Sunshine has provided a lot of BTUs for a lot of years and Mother Earth has absorbed and stored that energy. A closed-loop geothermal system simply removes those BTUs from Mother Earth in the winter and gives them back in the summer. At depths of five feet or more, the earth temperature remains close to 57 degrees, as evidenced by a cave&#8217;s temperature. This temperature varies only slightly across the United States. There are two basic ways to install a geothermal unit. If digging a trench is difficult or if space is limited, geothermal contractors drill holes into the ground vertically to install small-diameter polyethylene pipe. If digging a horizontal trench is feasible, the pipe is installed in a horizontal trench. A very small pump then circulates water from the earth to the geothermal unit and back to the ground in the closed-loop pipe. Actually, geothermal is not the best name for this unit. A better name is ground-coupled heat pump or water-to-air heat pump. As you learned in my last newsletter, a heat pump doesn&#8217;t create heat, it just moves heat from one location to another using a compressor. Example: A window air conditioner blows cool air inside and hot air outside. If you turn the air conditioner around, it will blow hot air inside and cool air outside. As it circulates 57-degree water in the winter, the geothermal unit, using the compressor to remove heat from the water, provides 105-degree air into the house. As the water goes back to the ground loop, it immediately starts absorbing BTUs from the earth. In the summer, a reversing valve simply reverses the process and the compressor pumps BTUs into the ground loop. The water returns to the earth and immediately starts cooling off again. It&#8217;s all about heat transfer. Here&#8217;s another example &#8212; a blacksmith heats a horseshoe to red hot. To cool it, he doesn&#8217;t wave the horseshoe into the air. Instead, he simply dips it in water. It cools off a lot faster and takes a lot less energy. I have been responsible for the installation of thousands of geothermal units and I have had no disappointed customers. My wife and I have had geothermal heating and cooling for 18 years and we simply would not have any other system. Geothermal gives good hot air in the winter and really cold air in the summer and uses less energy than any other central heating and cooling system. So don&#8217;t be a tightwad. Buy the best there is &#8211; you, your family, and your house deserve it. Solar power Read more on Geothermal Heat Pumps 101&#8230; Subscribe to the comments for this post?

		<description><![CDATA[ By this point, you&#8217;ve likely heard about many different sorts of alternate energy and off the grid energy. With resources diminishing and an increased awareness of how our actions impact the environment, it&#8217;s up to us to contribute in our energy use. Whether you&#8217;re an individual or a business owner, there&#8217;s plenty you can do in order to make a helpful effect on the environment thru the utilization of alternate and green energy. Much of the off the grid energy trend is focusing on the employment of a wind turbine . These devices are helping to revolutionize our energy use as a population. Firms have been key in transforming their production processes to use alternative energy from air turbines. This is what we usually think of when we consider wind turbines : the huge and elegant structure lined up symmetrically in enormous fields or along a highway landscape. It is a true testament to the way our culture has begun changing towards an off the grid energy movement. Nonetheless many people don&#8217;t realize that home wind turbines are an option as well . You and your family can start causing a difference right at home with simple home wind turbine kits. These kits give you all you need to start cutting down on your normal energy use and start heading towards alternative power forms instead. With a home wind turbine, you can harness the natural power of the wind to power the things right in your own home. Home wind turbine kits are getting more popular than before particularly when house owners see the huge savings they get from a single purchase . Think about installing a home wind turbine to make your family&#8217;s home more ecologically friendly. They&#8217;re straightforward to set up and use and may continue to definitely impact not just your electricity bill, but also the environment. Most home turbines are meant for roof use. Usually, these turbines can sustain winds well over one hundred miles per hour, so you will not have to fret about it blowing away. Remember, in numerous cases you can qualify for a tax break based on your acquisition of a home wind turbine kit. The tax allowance usually covers about 30% of the expenses of the home wind turbine hardware and the installation. This is a way to reduce the costs of adding this green tool to your home. Using alternative energy is more than simply a way to save money. It is also necessary to making certain that our world remains healthy and that our resources remain abundant for future generations. .

		<description><![CDATA[ It seems simple and it is, but some people still don&#8217;t appreciate the fact that turning the central heating on can reduce the need for wearing layers in the home. Not only do they hinder your movements, but sitting in your coat because the house is freezing cold really isn&#8217;t an attractive look. Any visitors that came to the house would be shocked to see you sat in a coat anyway, and they would probably have to sit in theirs if it is that cold. Go Digital It is fair to say that the reluctance of putting the central heating on stems from the fact it costs. One of the best ways to get round this is to have a digital thermostat so you can have more control over the heating bill. This ensures the central heating isn&#8217;t turned on for the whole day, running up a large bill for you. Digital thermostats are also good when summer arrives as there are always some days that it just gets a bit cold and you could do with the central heating on. The thermostat staggers the level of heat, and the associated costs. The Kids Another benefit of having the central heating turned on is the fact that the mornings will be warmer and thus you don&#8217;t need to throw 2 dressing gowns on to keep warm! If you set the central heating system to turn on at 6am then getting up should be easy. Without heating, everyone would have to wear more layers in the home. Bear in mind though that wearing multiple clothing layers only benefits you and everyone else will feel the cold. Also, if there are kids in your family, it is even more important that they stay warm and central heating is a necessity. Children should be kept warm and the central heating should be turned on. Central heating is integral to the home environment and you only need one blast of cold air outside to appreciate the warmth inside. Hopefully now you can appreciate the benefits of central heating. By turning the central heating on, you cut down on the clothing. When you&#8217;re inside you need to make sure you can relax comfortably in the armchair without feeling cold. All in all, the heat the central heating provides will make everyone happy in the home.

		<description><![CDATA[ J Cosmos asked: Let&#8217;s get into small wind power generation today. Or you might say wind energy power generation. There are many types of wind energy systems. What you need is a wind energy system for homes. Today let&#8217;s get into the generation of electricity itself. Suppose you have the windmill built and have it on its tower. What kind of generator would you want to use to take all those RPMs from you tower and produce electrical power from it/ Many would think of a simple car alternator. The main reason for that is simply that the car alternator is very, very available. They are not expensive and you probably have at least one in your garage or shop. I am afraid that in order to generate any really useful power, you would have to generate at least two thousand RPMs. The larger and more powerful your windmill, the slower it will spin. You could adapt a chain and belt drive, a gear set, etc. However, I think you will end up with so many other problems it&#8217;s better to simply move to permanent magnet alternators. Most successful home made windmill generators use permanent magnet alternators. A permanent magnet alternator will produce power when moving at slow speeds. Some have taken an ordinary car alternator and replaced the standard armature with a new machined armature that contains permanent magnets. The results have been better than the normal car alternator but are still less than adequate. Another idea is to simply take a single or three phase induction motor and fit permanent magnets to the armature. In order to do this, you would need to machine with a lathe down to a size that the armature will allow you to glue the magnets to the armature. I have seen an average one hp induction motor with strong Neo magnets supply over ten amps. Keep in mind that the wound wire limits your current and some have rewound the wire and received up to thirty amps. As many of you have guessed, the disadvantage to all this is the power curve. You will find peak power at a low RPM and at a faster rate the power drops off significantly. The best I have found is the Stepper Motor, also known as a Switched DC motor. These are found in most computer equipment and are quite good. They are cheap, available, and effective. Sometimes you can find a washing machine that uses a large permanent magnet, stepper like motor. If you can find one, they make a superior windmill motor. One serious disadvantage to these motors is cogging. Cogging is the vibration you feel when a stepper motor is rotated. The interaction of the magnets and the laminations/poles will bring this on. The result is that the windmill generation is a little hard to start. But when going, all reaction is gone. It just needs a little more wind to get it going. Then it&#8217;s fine. Let&#8217;s talk a while about where you want to put the windmill. This is an important step. Finding a place where the wind has no obstacle can be difficult. Trees, bushes, buildings, even the shape of the ground can be an obstacle. A lot of people think that it is a neat idea to simply put it on the roof of their house. This is not a neat idea. It is a very bad idea. Do not do it. The vibration will travel down the mast into the surrounding ground. You do need to put it above the local obstacles. How high? Keep in mind that you have to get it up there and you have to be able to bring it down for maintenance. Keep safety in mind. Things can fall off and hurt someone. So don&#8217;t put it near where people gather. Better to hurt a tumble weed than a child. Keep in mind that if you live in a city, the height is probably regulated by code. Find out the regulation first. Before you begin to buy supplies. I think we covered enough for today. Let&#8217;s get together again tomorrow. Let me state this before I go. I know many of you just play around with this stuff. Electricity is a fun thing to hobby with and it takes ingenuity. That&#8217;s fine. If you are just playing at this, ok. But if you are trying to be responsible and take care of those who depend on you, then this is serious business and you need to take it that way. Information is what you simply must have if you are going to do an effective job of it. If you are serious about learning about how solar or wind power generation can free your family from the elite power companies, click and go to my website where you can learn all about the advantages of solar and wind small power generation. I am not selling a thing, but have allowed some friends to present the information they have in an understandable form. You see all the changes going on around you. How sure are you that we will all have electricity in a few years? You might have to do it yourself. Perhaps the only people who will have electricity or fuel for travel are the ones who provide it for themselves. Do it now. You&#8217;ll be glad you did, and so will those depending on you.
