We did this in Spring here in Australia (late last year). I got convinced by a friend to give it a go, and while I seriously exhausted myself by doing it due to choosing a bad route and general un...
Yup... how about trying to raise some seeds? It's so simple if you have a little patience, yet utterly rewarding. I love checking my pots each day when I water, to see if the seedlings have poppe...
Get it from the horses mouth here... Google themselves claim a realistic estimate of emissions is 0.2g per search. Plus they are also one of the greenest organisations around... give them a break!...
Great product. This sort of thing is a simple version of what the pros use to audit houses. It's the sort of thing that councils should be purchasing and providing to people for borrowing (maybe ...
I did pretty well except for the 'light' category (45/60) - my home's impact on the environment. It highlights a few problems I am already aware of. I guess it is useful to know where to focus im...

Hey, I have that dinner set featured in the pic!
No turkey for me. If you need any inspiration to go vego, check out this video (warning: it is somewhat disturbing but I think we need...
Good tips Tiamat. We do the same with asparagus - cut off the bottoms and store them in a glass of water.
It would be good if this sort of research was pursued by academics so that th...
"Repair" is an interesting one, mysoultokeep. We have a few broken kitchen whitegoods (blender, slow cooker) that probably just need a small part replaced or something. But it's really hard to fi...
Very interesting, I always wondered how this happened. Our system is (finally) about to be changed over to a single stream. We are eagerly awaiting not having to tie up packages of paper and card...
Another tip I forgot to mention - I've found that using see-thru containers (I use glass) in the fridge helps reduce waste. If you can easily see what leftovers you have then you're more likely to...

Like Tzipporah I heard of some ceramic non-stick options using nano-technology. I read about this one in a magazine: http://ceramcor.com/

Some of those recent posts on bottled water are definitely springing to mind...

Very cool. Thanks for the link, this stuff is totally what I am trying to get onto career wise. Another interesting one (related topic) is here:

Google actually has a really progressive environmental policy which you can see here: http://www.google.com/corporate/green/ener...
Looks like a Copper-Zinc battery. http://www.chemforlife.org/experiments/build_battery/default.htm ...
Maybe they should suspend a little dinghy on the side of one of those walls?
