Setting the Stage for More Rooftop Farms
In 2010, Lufa Farms created the world's first commercial-scale
greenhouse on the roof of a commercial office building. The event
has been heralded as a milestone in urban agriculture and a
potential "game changer". But creating this new type of city
farm was a difficult task.
Recycled Printing, Your Opportunity to Safe Guard the
Environment
Our generation is learning its lesson and paying the price with
the effects of global warming creeping up on us. 12.5 million
tonnes of paper are consumed by the UK population and a
devastating 4.7 million tonnes of that paper ends up in
landfills. Almost 80% of the original forests and trees on the
globe have been cut down and degraded.
The Hottest Topic of the Moment, Renewable Energy
If you haven't heard all the talk about Renewable Energy, you
must have been living in a cave for the last 10 years. Even so,
if you were in a cave I am sure someone would have told you
about solar energy, wind power or hydro power. These are all
examples of renewable energy, that are being used in to days
world and with the concern of Global Warming, at no other time
in our history has this concept been more important.
How You Can Use Solar Power in Your Own Home
As I am sure you have noticed the cost of your electricity and

things and placing them inside a moving truck without having

important in the moving process.
Built-in Photovoltaics: Solar Energy That Takes
The Place Of Conventional Glass And Roofing
A promising renewable energy technology that breaks down
pre-existing concerns and hesitation about solar energy is
called Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). These systems
actually build solar cells into the construction of a building.
They look as natural as what would have been a conventional
roof, window, awning, and even concrete.
Office Equipment, the WEEE Directive and Global Warming Issues
Environmentally Friendly photocopiers and other office
equipment are crucial to workplace energy-saving and
waste-reduction. Many measures (procedural and technical)
have been implemented by equipment manufacturers, dealers
and distributors even before the government's
introduction of measures via legislation such as the weee
directive.
