The average family spends about ninety percent of their time indoors and the elderly and infants may spend even more time inside. Indoor air pollution can be two to five times more polluted than outside air. This means that people may be exposed to a greater number of airborne contaminants in their own homes than outside during their daily activities. The EPA, Environmental Protection Agency, lists poor indoor air quality as one of the top five health risks in the world today. Some of the most ...

Wind is a free, sustainable, renewable resource that is both environmentally safe and economically sound. These are important aspects to consider, especially when it comes to one's power source. This is what gives RV wind powered generators a great advantage over any other generator. Because the wind produces kinetic energy to create electricity, there is no harmful environmental bi-product produced, which means no pollution. There are also great incentives like lower utility bills and ...

It is possible to have a portfolio which profitably (that's the key word, is it not?) invests in alternative energy funds. "Green" energy production is expected to be a multi-billion (in today's dollars) industry by 2013. The most recently developed wind-turbine technologies have brought us wind-produced energy which is more cost efficient as well as more widespread. More state-of-the-art wind energy technologies are typically more market competitive with conventional energy technologies. The ...

Like many complex subjects, it is difficult to find a consensus definition of marketing. For the purposes of this article, I define marketing as: any activity involved in the facilitation of the sale of a good or service, excluding (but constantly feeding information back into) the actual production of the good or the performance of the service itself. As a field, marketing has become increasingly sophisticated and powerful in recent decades. Indeed, it has become not only an art but a ...

Lately, I have had a number of people asking how to make blueprints. First, I assume they already have their drawings ready, such as a print of a CAD drawing, or a drawing that was drawn by hand using manual drafting tools before CAD come to town and took over. It was 1985 or so when CAD became readily available and was just becoming popular and affordable around 1988 and 1990. I remember taking an AutoCad class in college years ago (about 1989). I had not yet accepted CAD over the manual way ...

Uganda is a beautiful country with an impressive people. This is one of my favourite countries in all of Africa. The people of Uganda have survived the troubles of 1967-86 period and emerged standing upright and wearing a smile. In that short period, the country suffered under the caprice of two despicable despots. One was the indisputably insane Idi Amin and the other, the arguably insane Milton Obote. This is now history - a testament to the dignity and endurance of this people. The ...

Compost by definition is organic. It is the decayed remainder of flora and fauna and thus is processed organic material. That said, additives both known and unknown can add inorganic material to the mix. Some organic gardeners like to add certain mineral additives to their compost such as dolomitic limestone or greensand to lower pH and add calcium to the mix. It is doubtful if this is more effective than adding these materials directly to the soil especially in the case of pH control as ...

Let's face it, with studies showing we have over 2100 toxic chemicals in our water and that we can absorb more toxins from a shower than by drinking a liter of water, whole house water filtration systems start to make sense.  Any kind of filter is better than nothing, but to be truly effective you need it all filtered, not just the drinking water. The American Journal of Public Health says that up to two-thirds of the harmful effects of chlorine are due to inhalation and skin absorption while ...

Record high prices at American gas pumps and continued trouble-brewing in the Middle East, Nigeria, and other areas of importance to the oil-driven economy have made it clear to Americans that we are in need of developing many new avenues of energy supply and production. In short, we need to reduce our dependency on oil, for it is ultimately finite and, frankly, the cheap sources of oil (not all oil-just the stuff that is cheap to remove from the earth) are running out. Energy consultants and ...
