Newer wood-burning appliances are far more efficient and cleaner-burning than older models, and with increasing regulation of fireplace emissions, it makes sense to consider an upgrade.

If only more clothing manufacturs would invest in implementing these suggestions. A new industry could create jobs and help the enviroment.supplemented existing textile recycling systems.

I have been doing this for years. I do a hot wash on whites once in a while. I do my laundry in the evening and hang them on a clothes horse(if it's raining). Clothes are almost dry by morning and can be put away so they won't be in the way in your house.

Sustainable CleanTech Solution to Imminent Climate Change Disaster

Australian Company Offers Green Power Source that Helps Defuse Carbon Bomb

Sunshine Coast, October 25, 2009 – With less than two months to go before the UN Climate Change Conference, the leaders of most countries are a worried lot. Firstly, before the meeting starts, they have to find a green power source or pay hefty fines that could cripple their economies that are already reeling under the global recession. Secondly, they have to find a sustainable long term solution to the looming global threat that climate change poses. EcoEnforcers, a Queensland, Australia based company, has come up with a sustainable renewable energy source that meets both short term as well as long term needs.... Read More

On December 7, 2009, leaders from over 192 countries are scheduled to meet in Copenhagen, Denmark to find a framework to combat climate change to replace the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012.

The Kyoto Protocol is a UN-led international agreement [reached in Kyoto, Japan in 1997] that went into force in 2005. Its goal was to address the problems of climate change and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Signatories committed to moving away from greenhouse-gas-producing fossil fuel energy sources [such as oil, gas, coal] to ‘green’ renewable sources [such as hydroelectric, wind and solar power, tidal, biomass]. They are legally bound to meet their emissions targets or face penalties.

While coal and oil-fired power plants that belch out tons of carbon dioxide are the prime cause of emissions, those plants cannot be shut down at short notice. Such a move would have disastrous financial and economic consequences. For one thing, millions of people depend on the coal and oil industries for their livelihood. For another, other commercial activity would come to a grinding halt without electricity [that is needed in homes and factories] and gasoline/diesel [needed for transportation and other activities].

Under the Kyoto Protocol, emission targets could be met in several ways, including more fuel efficient cars, less coal-fired power plants, etc. Another method is called voluntary carbon offsets that allow governments to pay for projects that mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions. However, these are inadequate solutions. They only reduce the carbon price whereas the need of the hour is to deploy clean renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuels.

This is where EcoEnforcers’ urban renewable energy solutions actually help increase available energy supply while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions. According to Jarreau Terry, Founder and CEO, their process not only addresses the future of urban renewable base load power supply, but also the community’s need for providing ‘green’ jobs, high quality fresh produce including seafood, affordable accommodation, and a number of by-products that put the entire venture into a positive position. It is a global solution to urban renewable energy using a biomass hybrid battery technology to produce 2 x 1MW of power, 1MW for their fully designed “EcoEstates” and 1 MW put into the grid.

According to the company’s formula, a major polluting country like China can implement 540 GW of totally green power at just one dollar per watt. They have formulas for some 223 countries.

Coming back to the Copenhagen summit, EcoEnforcers claim that, for processing fee of one cent a watt, they would provide an agreement that the nation could use as proof that they are genuinely taking steps to tackle carbon emissions.

In the words of Jarreau Terry: "EcoEnforcers will lead the global economy for climate change. Nations within nations will prosper, and single-handedly be withdrawn from the global financial crisis. A momentus occasion that will inevitably re-define the Twenty-First Century."

Scientist believe that time is running out and that, in order to limit temperature rise to about 2°C, global greenhouse gas emissions will have to peak within the next five years. The winners of the 21st Century will be those nations that have the foresight to venture into new technology.
