Low Impact, Low Cost Homes

Hobbit Home

Hobbit Home

Simon Dale’s site is full of information and photos if you poke around.

“The house was built with maximum regard for the environment and by reciprocation gives us a unique opportunity to live close to nature. Being your own (have a go) architect is a lot of fun and allows you to create and enjoy something which is part of yourself and the land rather than, at worst, a mass produced box designed for maximum profit and convenience of the construction industry. Building from natural materials does away with producers profits and the cocktail of carcinogenic poisons that fill most modern buildings.”

Plastic

Fiji Water: Spin the Bottle

-By Anna Lenzer (Mother Jones)

Obama sips it. Paris Hilton loves it. Mary J. Blige won’t sing without it. How did a plastic water bottle, imported from a military dictatorship thousands of miles away, become the epitome of cool?   View entire article on Mother Jones

Our Plastic Legacy Afloat

NYTimes Editorial

August 27, 2009 : Until recently, the earth had seven continents. To that number, humans have added an eighth – an amorphous, floating mass of waste plastic trapped in a gyre of currents in the north Pacific, between Hawaii and Japan. Researchers have estimated that this garbage patch may contain as much as 100 million tons of plastic debris and is perhaps twice the size of Texas, if not larger.    Read more

Re-Use

Get yourself a hamper or an old box with a lid.
Now keep this at hand and go about your daily business.

Now my young spritelings you can …SMILE

Because you know that you can help by bringing them home, and recycling and reusing  them.

How?

Simply launder them before  popping them  in to  your NEW  lost items hamper.

Gradually  you will find the hamper fillimg up until you  have lots of pairs of gloves, heaps of hats and several scarves…… WONDERFUL  :)

Now you can  happily congratulate yourself now your keeping on top of  such a  special project.

There is too much waste in the world clothing included, your hamper is going to make a difference WELL DONE :)

Your new  hobby will not only help to keep our planet tidy but help to HEAL THE WORD at the  same time…

You are also extending your wardrobe too by  filling it with wonderful colourful attire.. all be it eccentric.

Who cares that the gloves may not even match :)

That’s all part if the fun RIGHT? Give it a try you’ll see!

No Nukes

No new nukes — plants, that is

The Los Angeles Times

Nuclear power plants are being pushed as part of climate-change legislation. But the focus should be on renewable power sources, which are getting cheaper and don’t produce radioactive waste. As the Senate debates climate legislation that could reinvent the country’s energy infrastructure, it is richly ironic that lawmakers who consider themselves rock-ribbed fiscal conservatives are among the strongest backers of nuclear plants — a vastly expensive, inefficient and dangerous source of energy that requires massive taxpayer bailouts.   Read full article

Orby's World

Everyday things you can do to help heal Orby

  • Every little thing helps heal Orby's Owies Water is precious. We need to use it wisely.
    By reducing your time in the shower from seven minutes to four, you could save over 25,000 litres a year.
  • Switch to reusable calico, string or ‘green’ bags, or reuse your old plastic bags when you go shopping.
  • Turn off lights and appliances at the switch when not in use.
  • Put your food or plant scraps in the compost or worm farm.
    Over half of our household garbage is made up of food and garden waste, most of which could be put in the compost or worm farms instead of going to landfill.Composting can convert the waste into rich soil that can be used to make your garden grow. The process only takes a couple of weeks.
  • Look for products without unnecessary packaging.
    Recycling is great, but avoiding waste in the first place is even better. Next time you go shopping, choose the products with the least packaging, or packaging made from recycled materials.
  • Grow plants native to your area.
    Gardens are a major water user, soaking up to 35 per cent of total household water use in some areas. Planting a water-wise garden using native plants is one of the most practical ways to save water and money.
