A new association set up to protect home clearances.

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:54:39 +0000

Many people currently manage their house clearances by themselves, either hiring a skip or filling their cars up with the material and driving to the nearest tip. Those preferring an easier way hire House Clearance companies.

House clearance companies in theory are a wonderful idea.

Unfortunately it is very easy to set up a company such as this with very little overhead, so overnight many rouge companies have been set up. They turn up, they may do a good job – they probably wont, they could steal from you, they could even dump whatever they find round the corner from your house!

Luckily an association has been setup to vet and provide a mediation service between customer and house clearance companies. Available at http://www.ukhouseclearanceassociation.org/ the website provides a list of approved companies throughout the various areas.

If you have any troubled in the past with a house clearance company, please get in touch with them – they may be able to help!

Aquarium Carbon and Organic Waste

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 16:46:35 +0000

Reef aquariums are beautiful structures teeming with life and color. However, they require a lot of care. One of the ways to care for them is to use aquarium carbon to keep the water clean.

In the vastness of the ocean, there is a natural system of waste recycling which involves organisms that process waste. Underwater movement ensures that waste is washed away from the fish and coral that produce them and toward the organisms that process them. Essentially, the water in the ocean is constantly cleaned and refreshed.

But a reef aquarium is a contained environment. It houses a lot of living organisms like fish and coral, but not enough organisms that process waste and keep the water clean. Over time, the water can develop an odor and turn yellow, which not only affects the beauty of the aquarium but can be harmful to its living organisms as well. The yellow color is a result of the buildup of metabolic waste released by the organisms inside the reef aquarium. Even with simulated water movement, the waste is not washed away from the fish and coral because it has nowhere to go.

Aquarium carbon takes care of removing odor and color. It does this by attracting organic waste matter into its porous surface. Thus, it keeps the water in the tank clear. It also removes any medication, which should not be left in the water for too long, and contaminants such as the chemicals corals release to fight each other. This results in healthier-looking coral.

A small amount of carbon can do the job of removing waste and color pigments. As the carbon’s pores fill up with organic waste, its effectiveness begins to diminish, so it needs to be replaced every two weeks or when the water begins to turn yellow.

Amazing Solar Cells

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 11:38:38 +0000

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have recently announced the development of a new more efficient type of solar cell. The ultra-thin photovoltaic cells are made from crystalline-silicone and have the potential to turn a person into a solar charger if incorporated into clothing or bags. The cells are only 14 to 30 micrometers thick, making them 10 times thinner than standard 6-inch-by-6-inch sized cells, yet they perform with the same level of efficiency. They use 100 times less silicon to generate the same amount of electricity. Because the cells are so small their tolerance to shade from obstructions is also better than conventional photovoltaic panels.

It is their potential to be mass-produced and wrapped around unusual shapes that is the most exciting. From clothing, to bags and tents, the cells have the potential to be easily incorporated, making it possible to charge batteries for phones, cameras and other handheld gadgets whilst on the move. The cells may also be used in arrays on the roofs of homes, warehouses, and offices, and could have intelligent controls, inverters and storage capability built in. Another benefit to their small size is that if a single cell in a solar array were to cease working it would only marginally reduce overall efficiency, compared with a significant loss in a conventional array. Keep up the good work boffins!

Bamboo Bike

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:36:50 +0000

The advantages of using bamboo as a construction material have long been recognised in Eastern Countries such as China and Hong Kong. The quick-growing grass, capable of growing 60 centimetres a day in the right conditions, is a strong, light and flexible raw material. Increasingly, Western companies, such as the Bamboo Bike Studio, are taking advantage of this readily available resource and adapting it to their manufacturing process.

The custom-built bamboo bicycle is rigid enough to stand up to daily wear and tear, but also flexible enough to absorb the punishment of bumpy tarmac or off-road tracks. Working steel and aluminium into a bike frame is a job for a skilled metal worker, whilst manufacturing and shaping carbon fibre is an even more technical process. Bamboo requires only woodworking skills to cut and assemble, making it possible to build your own custom bike given the correct instructions and guidance.

From a resource that is renewable and easy to produce, to a great product that you can learn to build yourself in a weekend workshop, the bamboo bicycle is a prime example of green entrepreneurship. The Bamboo Bike Studio also aims to establish working bamboo bicycle factories in Developing Countries, offering not only vital jobs but a means of improved transport to local people.

The word “Ethics” has a very broad range of meanings associated to it. However, while talking of Environmental Ethics it becomes important for us to understand the relationship between human beings and nature.

Our ethical behavior towards the environment will at least ensure that our future generations will not be devoid of the environment. The ethical envinroment directory on the internet lists all the businesses that have taken the issue of climate change, seriously. We have taken for ganted, the presence of plants, animals and birds in our lives. However, many philosophers believe that this is not ethical. Hence, this gave rise to a new topic of environmental philosophy called Environmental ethics.
