Okay,
I am back in a semi-transparent, ghostly kind of way, and I have a new feature that I want to try. I hope you will find it interesting. First though, note the words I used "Words to live Greener", not green. We are real consumers, and we do stuff that is not green, and we all will continue to do so. We can do some things, conveniently, that will help though, and my little bailiwick I am attempting to create addresses those tactics. I am not an enviro-expert, I am just going to use common sense, mostly. I think greener is a more accurate word than green, so there I am, being realistic again, not altruistic.
Okay, to the feature: I am going to post a weekly list of words that I think should interest us all in finding more about, and then I want you to look it up. I will try to make that easy for you, sometimes I will post links, but I think you can find search engines easily on your own. I think that will be very cool, as there are a lot of words we hear, that we would say we know about, but if someone asked you the details, you wouldn't have a clue. We say we are familiar, but our knowledge of the topic is shallow, at best. I think it is that way, especially in energy tech, so I am going to post some words and topics you might find vaguely familiar, but uninformed about. Learning is supposed to be fun, and maybe you will change your climate destroying existence, and the Green Weenies will allow you to live on their precious planet without torching your house or SUV. Having some of this knowledge will no doubt save you some embarrassment when you are at a dinner party with "real" conservationists. You can tell them you know all about Tankless water heaters, and Low-E Windows, and even about Geo-thermal strategies for the home.
These are not always going to be conservation words; I will try to make it about that mostly, but I will put up some fun stuff, as I run across it, that I think is interesting, and things you should know. I am going to try to keep a page of these words available, and I am thinking I might put a link up to the best place we found to learn about the particular topic, as submitted by you. Or me if I did a better job of finding it. The point is, wouldn't it be nice to have a resource to visit that you can have brush up on your knowledge of conservation before a social function with "enlightened" people? That will be the goal here, to "clear the air of a little smugness" that you might encounter with the navy blue-staters.
Well, to inaugurate this little weekly task, here is your list of topics for the week.
Tankless Water heaters (like you didn't see this one coming.)
Geo-thermal energy systems (for heating and cooling your home)
Solar energy absorbing paint (this is crazy cool)
For fun, look up:
Belize
Costa Rica
Learning a new language.It is not as difficult as you might think. This Rosetta Stone site has a great interactive demo of their learning program.
Here are a few other places that might be useful, especially wikipedia.
