Passive solar energy

For guests still hungry after munching on a handfuls of samples, raw and vegan food from Draw, or Green Truck, could be purchased at a great deal. People formed long lines in front of the vendors, eager to buy a Sweet and Tangy Thai Wrap from Draw, or a kombucha from Green Truck. As Green Truck uses biodegradable containers, bags, napkins, and utensils, no one was worried about what would become of the waste. The mobile restaurant is powered by recycled vegetable oil. In effect, Green Truck—unlike most automobiles--does not clog Los Angeles’ drainage systems.

Recycling programs are often very simple to implement and, especially if your company produces many plastic bottles or paper waste, it can save a great deal of money on trash collection because the trash collectors won't need to come as often.

This is a relatively difficult thing to do, since chickens tend to contort and persist their bodies through any crevice afforded to them. Most open and free range setups are composed of a sort of barb wire for chickens. To be frank, this is effective only because, usually, one or two of the chickens actually die while trying to pass, and the rest of the coop learns from that example.

A sustainable lifestyle is one that seeks to harmonize with the elements of the natural world. We can use the forces of nature to our advantage, without abusing them and causing as little disturbance to the natural environment as possible. One such example is harnessing the energy of the sun. Solar energy can be captured in a variety of ways.

The most basic way, passive solar energy, refers to the type of construction materials used and their placement. For example, a house designed to face the south allows the heat of the sun to warm the house all day long. Add to that other passive solar features such as thermal mass and the house is already well on its way to energy-independence.

However, small scale wind energy turbines — quite often operating on a vertical axis — can also serve our burgeoning power needs, especially in denser urban areas, where large scale horizontal turbines are infeasible.

In addition to a telecommuter population that, at this writing, totaled approximately 10,000 employees, the company has enabled 130,000 employees with mobile and remote access technologies that allow them to telework from a variety of locations. AT&T defines telecommuting as a formal work arrangement in which people work from home at least one day each week.

Restroom faucets or taps are the next place to go green. The right metering faucet can reduce water usage by half to two-thirds, while offering hands-free use, automatic shut-off, and resistance to vandalism. Durable and reliable products offer long service life with low maintenance.
