In order to raise awareness on the Global Warming issues 15 artist constructed a structure that consist of a piece of ice and two Polar Bears on top. You can see the sculpture floating on the Thames River and is definitely eye catching as this does happen to the Polar Bears where they either swim for miles only to find no ice or simply one small piece that they sit on waiting to get their energy back or simply floating on to find more ice. You can check out more pictures below.

A while ago we introduced to you some Solar Power trash compactors that where set to be installed in various parts of Shanghai. These compactors would use the solar energy to compact all the trash into a nice cube that could be easily picked up. Each trash can would in turn hold more trash and keep in nice and clean seeing as how the trash can would not have an overflow problem like many do in big cities.

Manually inspecting wind turbines can take quiet some time and can also be dangerous for the person doing the job. Well in light of the the developers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation are in the process of developing a new Robot that will inspect all of the wind turbines and will actually do it better then humans.

Many of us know that many plastics are not biodegradable. Although we have come a long way in making better and less toxic plastics the fact remains that some still may cause health risks. Well liquid wood could soon be replacing plastics. The wood based product can be mixed with other materials to make a non-toxic alternative to petroleum plastic and will still be just as strong. Below you can find a small excerpt from DW-World.

Recently Australian researches have been thinking of a way for Fridges to use less energy and learn how to conserve energy. What they cam up with was hosting a network of refrigerators which could all communicate with one another. All of the refrigerators communicate with each other seeing when is the best time to turn on which would cause less carbon emissions and when it is better to run less or be turned off.

Many of us at one point in time have started recycling everything we possibly could but then with time the motivation dies and most of just ends up in the trash. Well when I was younger I went to a trash facility and saw many workers sorting the plastics, glasses and metals that where on a conveyor belt but now it seems that they are starting to let the machines do all the work. If you check out the video above you will see a recycling factory that sorts through all the papers, plastics etc and send each of its own type to a separate area.

Plasma TV’s are the most energy consuming TV’s currently on the market and they have been nicknamed the 4X4’s of living rooms because they tend to consume up to 4 times the amount of energy as a standard TV and 4 times the carbon as well. Well EU is planning on passing a legislation that will ban all Plasma TV’s due to their power consumption.

In a recent study done by the British it claims that many home turbines often only generate a very small percentage of what manufacturers promise. Also it was said that some actually use more energy then they produce simply because conditions for wind turbine use have to be ideal. The study was funded by the British Wind Energy Association and they looked at 10 suburban, 12 urban and four rural sites over the course of a year.

Usually when going by a dumpster and we hear a noise an animal or sometimes even a person comes out of the dumpster. Looking for something they lost or just maybe trying to be nosey many people have gone through dumpsters for one reason or another. Well apparently now businesses are doing so as well in order to save a very nice amount of cash.

Many times when people say one person can make a difference people tend to say “oh I’m only one person what can I do” but here we have a story that truly proves that one person can make a difference. A man name Bob Jones has saved the Aleutian cackling goose by himself.
