Other - Environment

I just read this story on yahoo news http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070724/ap_on_re_us/ice_cooling

It's about a new and revolutionary way of cooling buildings without using A/C. This isn't new, they were doing this a hundred years ago, everyone knows if you have a block of ice and blow a fan over it into a ducting system you have a cooling system. I did some work on the Cuban Club in Tampa 10 years ago and they still had a system very similar to this.

What other ideas of yesteryear can we use to help the environment and save money?

Mr. Hawking says that It is important for the human race to spread out into space for the survial of the species. He believes there is an increasing risk that a disaster will destroy the earth { Global warming, Nuclear war, A genetically engineered virus.}

I myself believe that moving out into space wouldn't hurt. What with over population and being taking out by an astroid.

Agree that it is going to take alot of work. So we better get started.

In 1879, the first successful light bulb was tested. Until the invention of the compact fluroscent light (CFL) bulb, the incandescent bulb was the one used. Is Edison's invention still being used for the CFL?

Thanks.

Would it be possible to mount the rotors on top of pre-existing electrical towers? A big ugly structure is allready there, it's allready hardwired into the electrical grid, and I would assume that it's weight bearing. All you would have to do is find lines of electric towers that run through windy areas.

Thoughts?

I was driving around looking for apartments and there was a huge sign in someone's front yard crossing out the picture of a wind generator that said "They are noisy!" and something else. Why would anyone be against generating power with a wind generator? Does anyone else hate those things?

Are these are mistakes of nature or benefits to it?

I keep here tree huggers and leftists cry about melting polar caps and glaciers.

The only benefit of glaciers is the water that is used to make Kokanee!

As a member of a club, every once in a while I see that the water of the pool (it's pretty big) is changed.
Can the water of the pool (chlorinated) be used to water the greens of the club (huge lawns), without harming the grass?

I live alone and so don't have alot of rubbish and although the recycle bins for food/garden waste should be emptied every other week instead it only gets emptied every 4th week -- I've actually stood and watched the binmen look in it then leave it there!!
I ring every time to get them to come back but I'm so fedup with having food rotting in my bin for 4 weeks what can I do to make sure its emptied as it should be every 2 weeks??

Hello I'm Moley.
Rats are cool, they know where all the nice scraps are.
People leave out food for them and then try to kill them whilst them and their ickle babies are trying to survive off this food which would only be wasted anyway.
Humans carry diseases too.
Rats will only attack if they feel threatened, you aint never heard of rats hunting down humans.
My friend Nobby do San Keku Geri an he kicked me in the head once when the takeaway I got gave us both food poisoning and we nearly died.
People want to kill me too.

I am planning to tour the country to promote environmentalism and help show people the small, daily changes they can make in their life to help the environment. Would you come for a 45min-1hr presentation on this topic if it happened to be taking place at an audatorium/school/venue near you?
