This is a bit of an ambitious post to embark on at this time of the night but it’s been in my mind pretty much all day so I should lay it bare before it goes away again.
There are many steps one can take to make improvements to their homes to optimise the resources available to us, in particular, those coming from nature. So here’s a few jumbled thoughts on what improvements could be done, assuming budget wasn’t an issue. Let’s start this series with:

Kudos to Mark for pointing this out. The following is an absolutely beautiful 93min long movie available on YouTube for free called The Home Project. The purpose is to increase global awareness on the impact mankind has on the environment using footage of the planet taken from the sky.
Merci à Mark pour avoir fait part de ce project. Ce qui suit est un superbe film de 93 min disponible sur YouTube gratuitement appelé The Home Project. Le but est d’augmenter la sensibilisation mondiale à propos de l’impact que l’humanité a sur l’environment en se servant de vidéos de la planète prises du ciel.
Have an hour and a half to spare? Don’t miss this and please pass it around:
Happy World Environment Day everyone

When it comes to fencing, one has to be really weary about the sort of material available on YouTube. The levels of skills are varied and it’s probably more prudent to assume that those skills only reflect the individual portrayed rather than the group as a whole.
Having said that, there’s 2 schools with a pretty good reputation (in my bokos anyway) which I wanted to present here.
Just got this from LickLibrary, it looks like whoever will win Guitar Idol, is going to get more than they get themselves in for:
Yes that’s right, the New York Times reports that according to a report by the United Nations Environment Program, of the $255 billion spent in building new power plants and generators in 2008, $140 billion was spend building infrastructure for renewable energies.
While that does not mean that newable energies are overtaking fossil fuels in the global netowrk, it’s at least encouraging to see that even as the world was plunging into a recession, there has been efforts made to invest in cleaner and more efficient energy sources.
The interesting trend is to note that the main investments didn’t come from countries like the US or the EU but from China and other developping countries, that is to say the very countries which are more likely to be affected by the dramatic changes in the Earth climate.
So there’s still much work to be done, but it’s yet another step
