I’m excited about solar lights – can’t you tell =) My newest discovery were solar rock lights. It’s a solar flood light that you can put anywhere around your yard. They actually looks like…

a rock. These solar rock lights would be great to highlight any of my gardens – I was […]

What a neat idea, colored solar lights. They change their colors on a rotating basis.
At first I wasn’t searching for colored solar lights, but I’m discovering there is no need for just one style.
I’ve found that outdoor solar lights can be added to my backyard in a matter of minutes, so I can just bring […]

After reading about the benefits of solar power and its growth in retail markets, I’m surprised to learn that the US is not quite ready for it. WorldWatch’s Sawin reported:”Some homeowner associations forbid them” from using solar power. Notably though, there are some states which do offer “net metering laws” (run your electricity meter backwards)…

Human impact on ecosystems and methane is quite an eye-opener, at least for me.
Sources include:
1) Landfills. Landfills are the biggest human-related source of methane in the U.S., in reality 34% of all methane emissions! Methane is produced in landfills and open dumps while waste decomposes under anaerobic (no oxygen) conditions. The volume produced depends on […]

Another human impact on ecosystems stems from the production of nitrous oxides (NO2).
Mostly, by us humans, its created by the use of fertilizers and vehicular emissions.
NO2 changes the pH levels of water and soil. One common term you may have heard of is Acid Rain. Humans have a skin pH level of basically 5.5 which […]
