Living by “green” principles can be extremely satisfying, but how do you do it? Surely, it’s not by purchasing more “green” products, because buying and using more “things” is all part of the problem.
This Lifehack article has got a great point, though, that a better guide to Green Living might well be David Allen’s [...]
What is Rain Water Harvesting (RWH):-Rain Water Harvesting is a way to capture the rain water when it rains, store that water above ground or charge the underground and use it later. This happens naturally in open rural areas. But in congested, over-paved metropolitan cities, we need to create methods to capture the rain water. [...]
Waste management is the collection, transport, processing, recycling or disposal of waste materials. The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, aesthetics or amenity. Waste management is also carried out to reduce the materials’ effect on the environment and to recover resources from [...]

It is readily volatile in vacuo and can thus be moved about by heating and cooling. Thus polonium can be used as a small (but expensive!) heat source and has been used for in space.
Polonium is named after Poland, the native country of Marie Curie. Marie Curie identified the element with her husband Pierre Curie [...]

There’s a lot of energy that we can harness if we only seek to research and develop the technologies needed to do so. We can get away from the fossil fuels and the old electrical grids by turning to alternatives to these highly polluting energy sources.
One of these alternative energy sources is wind power. Wind [...]
