Aside from the frightening global warming issue, I am also deeply concerned about our attitude with regard to consumption. Up until just last year, the US was the worlds largest consumer of natural resources. According to David Suzuki’s “Sacred Balance” (I absolutely LOVED this book – everyone should read it), since 1940, Americans alone have used up as large a share of the Earth’s mineral resources as all previous generations put together.

The real scary thing is, as of last year, consumption in China eclipsed that of the United States in all the worlds resources but oil, and China’s 1.3 billion person economy is growing at a frightening 8% annually

Why is this concerning? There are around 6 billion people living on this rock today. Estimating future population growth at only 1% per year, the numbers are staggering. By 2015, experts estimate there will be 7 billion people on the planet. By 2050, there may be as many as 10 billion people living on Earth. Can mother Earth support this extended family? When will we reach the limit of our resources?

We live in a culture where incentives exist to encourage doing more with more – not doing more with less. Doing more with less is called “efficiency”, doing more with more is called “Gluttony”. Bigger, faster, more powerful vehicles that consume more fuel at faster rates, larger meals wrapped in complex, land-fill bound packaging, disposable products filling store shelves – you get the picture. Take the new wave of hybrid cars for example. Hybrid technology that was intended to produce spectacular fuel economy, was flipped around by car makers to instead, produce more horsepower for their new hybrid SUV’s! Less green, more mean.

Human Powered vehicles are all about trying to do more with less. How to go faster or farther with less energy. Technologies Incorporated into human powered vehicles like aerodynamics, wheel rolling resistance, mechanical efficiencies and size and weight optimization are directly applicable to the cars and boats and other vehicles that we rely upon in these modern times. Most importantly though, Interest in human power represents an essential shift in basic philosophy from one of ‘feasting on earths resources’ to a ‘do more with less’ ideal. human power

The design of your house is very important when it comes to energy use and consumption. 

Green Home Energy Building Ideas  

The materials used in building the house should be those that prevent extra use of energy in terms of heating and lighting. The design must allow enough light to enter within the building during the day. Properly inserted window layers may be useful in this case. Assembling and processing of the materials is also useful. Use material that consumes less energy when it comes to processing, for example; wood. Solar systems designs are also useful in order to achieve this. Use natural heating and lighting systems. Some materials absorb enough heat during the day and trap in a lot of heat inside. Well ventilated buildings reduce the costs of air-conditioning. 

Well, why not start to save mother earth today! Get all the information required when it comes to building an environmentally friendly building. Get the DIY solar and wind installation energy systems for home and get all the best for green home energy.

Children need to learn why we need and alternative to the energy we use today and the effects and damage it has had on the world’s environment. It is important for them to understand why we need to produce a safer energy source. Electricity is currently a non-rewable resource, as we gain nothing from using it. Once this power runs out we will need to find an alternative source of power supply. Scientists are always busy looking at new resources for energy production, so that when we eventually do run out of one source, there is another in reserve to replace it, so that we don’t miss out.

Until then, another resource needs to be found, to ensure that is ready for when the switch over is necessary. We need to preserve what is left at the moment, so that in the near future we can immediately switch to a new energy resource with no problems. Much of energy production that we have is currently damaging and so harms the environment. By polluting the air, the sun is under threat and we run the risk of losing it as a natural resource. This alternative resource is vitally important, so by teaching our kids they can join our efforts to save solar power for the future.

Solar power generates energy by using the natural resources around us, and there are man made sources so that the solar power can be attracted to these sources and saved. We need to find a way for this be to cost effective by using solar sources that are cheap enough to provide us with the solar power that is needed. The average home would benefit greatly by switching over to solar power, and it is easy to set up, saving on the need for power lines. If your home is being built from scratch, by installing solar power you can begin to generate electricity in your home straightaway, to heat your water supply, and you could even sell your surplus energy for use elsewhere. You would be putting money back in your pocket. There are huge benefits to be gained by saving on producing a resource by the slow use of a natural resource. Children will learn how to save energy and how to plan for their safe future.

Conserving solar power by everyone of all ages and the sooner it starts, the more the future will benefit. Teaching kids is the way forward in order to save our energy, as we need a solution on how we can save on solar power in the future. Currently power is linked to each individual house for heating, our water supply and some other necessities; by being able to save in larger quantities we hope one day to cut out the need for so power lines that we see everywhere running through fields, our streets and backyards which will be replaced by solar panels and boxes instead.

Solar PV roof installation: For offsetting the use of energy with solar power, one needs an array of solar panel of 400-800 sq. ft (to output 4-8kW). In the United States, the average home uses monthly 750-900kWh at a price of 10¢ per kWh. The used amount can considerably differ with the high-demand system uses such as continuous running appliances or hot tubs.

Hot water system: A solar water heating system has a backup of electricity and rate of current electricity of 8¢ per kWh. When estimating the annual costs for solar water heaters, one should know the SEF (solar energy factor), your local utility rates and the kind of auxiliary fuel type used.

Solar home space heating: There are various ways small and large to tap into the energy of the sun for space and home heating. One can do anything from passive structures and installing heat-collecting windows, to converting walls that are south-facing. The heat is toed by the wall and gradually released later.

A major roof installation is a source of major power and is also one of the major expenses that should be planned often. An individual can tighten up the home with more energy-efficient and instituting the habits of new energy saving devices.
