It’s Friday and we all know that means that each and every one of us is beyond ready to get out, get home, and start enjoying the weekend. Plus, the simple fact that this is the first Real week back to our schedules after what I’m sure was a very hectic Holiday Season, means you’re probably ready to call it a week, and head home.
So, that said, I won’t keep you long, but I did want to share an awesome little video that should help highlight a great deal more on China’s solar situation. The fact of the matter is, China is a MAJOR player on the global scale and the fact that they are taking strides to reduce their negative environmental output and start doing some serious good for the Earth as well as their energy use.
Check out this video, get a little more informed on things all the way around the world, and then have an amazing weekend. Might want to check out Northern Tool before you go, there are some Great sales going on, and stocking up with that extra Christmas cash is not a bad idea!
Yesterday we talked about just how great of a weekend project mulching can be. It will help your lawn, your vegetable garden, your flower beds and yes, the environment as a whole. What on Earth would stop you from getting involved?!
For some of you, there’s a pretty good chance that seeing things is a lot easier than simply reading about them, and so I went out and found a great how-to video that covers the basics of mulching. Not only does it show you the why’s and the where’s, but it also shows you the How’s. Mulching can be something that once you learn, you’ll always remember, and always participate in. Each year mulching can help insure that your lawn is at its healthiest, so without further ado, check out the video, and we’ll see you bright and early Monday morning!
Ok, not exactly when the wind power goes wrong, but when the braking mechanism goes wrong on a wind turbine in a VERY windy area. I thought this would be a fun way to end your week, prep you for the weekend and give you an explosion too!
I don’t know about you, but I love explosions. Thankfully, no one was hurt in this video, but it does show you just how powerful the wind is on our planet, and how if we can harness it, safely, we really can do a lot of good for not only our environment, but our checkbooks!
Ever wonder how those huge windmills you see out in the fields work? No, not the Don Quixote windmills, but the ones that you KNOW are sucking up the power of the wind, and converting it into reusable, renewable energy to help power our lives. Ever wonder how the smaller ones are made? Well, if you’re at all like me, curiousity always gets the better of you and you just HAVE to know how it’s made.
Thanks again go to the “How It’s Made” crew of the Discovery channel, as I just found this awesome little video that shows just how they work, how they are made, and what goes into them. Something about seeing “behind the scenes” always makes me happy, especially when it is for such an awesome, green invention that has been around for a long, long time
Check out this awesome video ( you only have to watch the beginning as the Wind Generators are the first up), and then have an amazing weekend!
Amazingly helpful and insightful little videos seem to be par for the course for Friday’s now don’t they? Why not, you’re ready for the weekend, you’re ready to be entertained and educated at the same time, and I am the same way!
So, for this fine Friday, I found a pretty awesome video highlighting just how EASY it is in todays day and age to actually install, use, and implement such clean and efficient power like Solar Power. The video shows basically the process from ground to roof to turning on the light, all in under 3 minutes. Check it out, then head over to Northern Tool and get yourself stocked up and ready to rock with your own solar projects!
