Go Green, Think Green, Be Green  

People have been interested in Green Technology for decades. We study it to see when we might be able to afford doing it for ourselves.

You can make a significant difference to your energy efficiency ratings. You may find many ideas for things you can do - as a homeowner, student, teacher, activist or business person. There are many benefits: you can save a lot of money; live more securely and independently; adopt a simpler lifestyle; find a new job or career; and contribute to creating a healthier, more sustainable world.

Energy Efficiency & Energy for & in Homes - Buildings

In planning & development and appropriate building codes and costs can minimise carbon emissions from buildings.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy are rightly held to be a key ways to reduce carbon emissions. Buildings, both residential and commercial, are a significant emitters of greenhouse gasses.

Energy drives our entire economy." We must protect it. "Let's face it, without energy the whole economy and economic society we have set up would come to a halt. So you want to have control over such an important resource that you need for your society and your economy." Our continued dependence on fossil fuels could and will lead to catastrophic consequences.

The use of insulation, natural light & shade, low energy lighting, motion detection lighting etc. can further reduce energy usage.

SOLAR hot water heating can be used to provide up to 70% of annual hot water needs for homes, it can also be used in commercial buildings that require significant hot water such as gyms and nursing homes.

WIND turbines offer a clean, inexpensive, simple to install and environmentally friendly solution to energy generation on a domestic level as well as commercial programs.
Approximately 60% of the Earth's surface has enough wind for small turbines to generate electricity efficiently.

GEOTHERMAL (ground source heat pumps) is a lesser known source of alternative energy which can be used to both heat and cool buildings in a highly efficient way and is suited both to residential and commercial buildings. It can also be used to provide hot water. As bore holes and/or trenches need to be dug for geothermal to be installed, it is particularly suited to new builds.

Alternative Energy = Energy Security

It can be seen that nations seeking energy security (security of supply) can help achieve it using alternative energy. Nations lacking their own fossil fuels resources should be concerned with the negative impact reliance on fossil fuels can have on their economies. By increasing utilisation of alternative energy resources, nations can increase their energy security.

But why do mainstream business and politics only give lip service to renewable energy, while continuing to invest billions in oil and nuclear? What is the honest, sustainable approach? But why does mainstream business and politics only give lip service to renewable energy, while continuing to invest billions in oil and nuclear? What is the honest, sustainable approach? Nations of the world should unite and join together in a cohesive effort to develop and implement MANDATORY RENEWABLE ENERGY for the sake of humankind and future generations.

I have just brushed briefly on the huge subject of this Energy guzzling ever increasingly energy greedy world we live in. We radically need to change our lifestyles, our thinking about our world in order to get our planet Earth back into synch.

Much has to be done, it's time to stand up and be counted, do your part to make this home of ours planet Earth a better place to live and help bring on generation after generation that will be proud of their predecessors.
