The UN has launched a campaign to plant a billion new trees, which is being welcomed by environmentalists, but with a warning by some that in certain regions it could do more harm than good. While the campaign claims that each tree uses up 26 pounds of co2 emissions and in return produces enough oxygen for a family of four, planting the right tr

"Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink," or so the saying goes. Texas knows this well, with large swaths subject to extreme heat and drought inland, and non-potable salt water down in the Gulf. There may be water, but no one can drink it without treating it first. East Texas is richer in water resources than the rest of the state,

Oil wells usually refer to a vertical hole drilled in the earth to find and extract petroleum oil and natural gas from the underground layers. Wells are generally composed of a series of small holes and tubing and smaller holes within, encased in cement, whereby perforations along the casing in the production zone enable the oil to flow though rock

As the world awakens to the emergency of climate change, we must begin to look at every facet of life to see things that are right in front of us, but unobvious. CO2 and other greenhouse gases have clearly and undeniably changed our climate forever. A rise in temperatures and sea level are guaranteed at this point. The question is not if, but when.

When you think of air conditioning, do you ever wonder who made it, the history behind it, maybe different applications involved or even environmental concerns? Well, if so, then you have come to the right place. We will not only go over each of these but you will find that a Sub-Heading for ease of use marks each section. The Air Conditione

Do you think the issue of alternative energy usage for emerging countries is an important one? With the world stage increasingly looking for ways to cut down global warming factors for emerging countries the idea of using alternative energy is gaining ground.

As responsible human beings it is our moral duty that we leave this world a better place than we got it from our ancestors.

Renting can be frustrating when you want to go green. There are a lot of things you just don't have control over. You generally don't own the appliances, can't install solar panels, etc. It gets annoying sometimes. I deal with this a lot as I do still rent. We're fortunate enough to be renting a house rather than an apartment, but there are stil

Before you go to work today remember to fill the fuel tank with water and add a bit of salt. Check the charge on the battery and you're ready to go.
