Anti-smog buildings: Clean air through architecture

A new type of architecture is gaining in popularity, thanks to visionaries such as architect Vincent Callebaut that blend design and technology to create a new definition for the term “green building”. Callebaut’s latest project uses green technologies and systems that are more than just examples of sustainable design; the structure actually improves the environment [...]

Blending sewage with garbage to produce fuel

A new kind of waste treatment system has been developed by Viridis Waste Control LLC, that holds the potential to improve water quality, reduce landfill usage, and to provide a large supply of renewable fuel. The process is called Septage Bioreactor Landfill technology, and it does something that hasn’t been done before (in a way [...]

Amazon’s ‘Kindle’ is next step towards paperless culture

Earlier this week online giant Amazon.com released a digital reader called the Kindle, a device that has great potential to revolutionize the way we read. While ebook readers aren’t new, Amazon’s offering brings several new features to the table. Chief among the green features of this device are the power requirements; the Kindle uses electronic [...]

Small increase in green spaces can offset temperature rise

Scientists at the University of Manchester have conducted a study looking at the effect global warming will have on our major cities, and say a modest increase in the number of urban parks and street trees could offset decades of predicted temperature rises. The study has calculated that a mere 10% increase in the [...]

New aluminum alloy generates hydrogen on-demand

Jerry Woodall, an engineer from Purdue University, has developed a method that uses an aluminum alloy to extract hydrogen from water on contact. This process eliminates the need to transport or store hydrogen gas, 2 things that have been major obstacles to achieving the much anticipated hydrogen economy. Hydrogen is generated spontaneously when water is added [...]

‘Biorock’ process grows coral reefs with electricity

Global coral reefs are dying at an alarming rate; the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network estimates that more than a quarter of the world’s reefs have died in the past few decades and that at least another quarter will die within twenty years. However, a new technology called Biorock may hold the key to saving [...]

Plasma process converts garbage into clean energy

Mention trash incineration to most people and the image that usually springs to mind is a dirty, smelly practice that is about as far from ‘green’ as you can get. However, this isn’t the case with a technology called Plasma Gasification, which is not only very eco-friendly, it’s also powered by the very garbage that [...]

On-site sewage treatment at new green community

On-site sewage treatment systems are becoming increasingly common with new development projects, and Victoria’s Dockside Green project is setting the bar high with the goal of treating all of it’s waste on-site, with no sewer connection at all. The system won’t shun the sewage system completely however, as it will require an infusion of municipal [...]

Rain-sensing irrigation systems for water conservation

Automated irrigation systems are often the secret to beautiful green lawns, usually controlled by a timer to deliver a measured amount of water. This can save water over a manually operated sprinkler system, which is dependent on the user remembering when to turn the water on and off, however it can also waste a tremendous [...]
