In our series on Love the earth, we look for ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, which increase carbon emissions, ways to decrease pollution and ways to reduce harm to nature, by reducing open mining, deforestation.
Many of these methods are now technologically possible, although often there is a cost to be paid, or a lifestyle change to be made.
In terms of power consumption, alternatives include solar power, wind power, hydro power. Nuclear power is capable of producing a huge amount of energy from a small amount of material, but the potential harm that nuclear waste can do to an environment still renders it as undesirable compared to other forms of energy generation.
Solar power, for one, is easily available. If factored into the design of a house, a few solar panels costing a few thousand dollars may built into the roof, where sun is readily available, or to shade a pavilion. Remember that it connected to a battery array which can store power for the house, these panels can be continuously generating power, clean power that will not create carbon emissions.
These panels can be obtained from places like Home Depot. Or if you are looking for much larger arrays to generate more electricity, google solar power for specialist companies which will be able to supply arrays that will be able to generate 10kW/h or more.
Remember, sunlight is ubiquitous. And with improving technology, solar power can be generated even in low light conditions. All the more reason to do your part to save the environment.

To love is to sacrifice
Filed Under About Love | Leave a Comment
Love requires a sacrifice, of time, patience, for some, even blood or a kidney. Oftentimes money is involved, and gifts. But most of all, love requires a sacrifice of love. To love someone is to give freedom to him or her, despite every fibre in your body straining to hold on tight. It involves thinking about that someone day and night, much like a crush, only for much much much longer. Love goes two ways – one sided, or unrequited love – is little more than just so much pain.
Love, for all it stands for, flies in the face of logic – in the exact opposite direction. Love requires faith, and hope. Those who seek to understand, will never understand until they learn to trust in that which they cannot ever hope to know.
To love is to give wholly of oneself.

Bush and Sarkozy share the love
Filed Under Political | Leave a Comment
Seems like Presidents Bush and Sarkozy are having a cosy get-together up in Maine, over lunch and boating in scenic Walker’s Point. Is that good? Probably.
Now, we’re just waiting for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to end. There’s lots of variables involved in that, the terrorists being a major one. But if everyone were to just get back to their end, stop stomping on each other’s garden, perhaps less people would die and we could all get along merrily.
