Greener Houses Can Offset Greenhouse Gases

In a recent interview on British TV, Chancellor Gordon Brown called on households to do more to cut greenhouse gases, in effect, by making homes better insulated and more fuel-efficient. The climate change bill ambitiously seeks to cut emissions by 60% by the year 2050. Is this viable in today’s “me” society? Or over time will we slowly turn into a “them” society? Is this compatible with capitalism? And just how easy is it to turn an existing house into a green one? Guy Alexander Bell, editor of the online magazine “Never Paint Again” suggests some things we could to make our home, and our lifestyle within it, more green…

With more “green” legislation coming into building design and construction, more and more houses and commercial buildings are being built with “green” credentials. Things such as solar panels, better insulation, timber from sustainable sources, are just a few of the latest trends in building, but what about existing and older buildings? In this article we look at various steps that the average person can take in order to make their older house a bit more environmentally friendly for future generations.

How can a hundred year old house be green, or made to be green?

Putting aside the notion of actually painting it green (Doh!) and embracing the literal sense, what can be done for old houses? If we consider VERY old house, dating back to maybe 1600, it could be argued that these houses were far more green than modern ones, or even ones built over the past 100 years, but why is that?

When a house was built 400 years ago, it was built with whatever was around (in the literal sense) at the time. So if it was being built near a quarry, it would be made of local stone. If there were reed beds or hay etc nearby, it would have a thatched roof, making use of crops that would have otherwise been burnt or thrown away. If it was near the sea, many of the timbers would be recycled from old ships or boats, and in fact many buildings in established seaside locations in and around the British isles have some surprises in their lofts when you look! Many an old ships mast was made into a staircase, and timbers were used in the roof and for lintels above doors and windows. The global transport infrastructure did not exist then. Goods were sourced locally, or at least brought by sea, river or canal, from somewhere fairly nearby.

When undertaking home improvements on a more modern house, it difficult in todays world to keep your green credentials. For example, what about all the car journeys to go and fetch the new items from the DIY shop? What about the builders turning up in their old van? For a month. (plus in some cases, the amount of methane builders’ emit! Cups of tea are very important to a builder, but not too many, and make sure no egg sandwiches and baked beans are served!)

What about the fact that the items (paint, tools, whatever you buy), have probably clocked up loads of “carbon miles” by being shipped around the world, and sometimes from countries with very poor human right records?

That’s not very green is it?

So how can you make an old house green?

Well if the interior is concentrated on first, steps could be taken such as solar powered heating and power from rooftop or garden based wind power units. Setting them up can be expensive, but the cost is falling all the time. Make enough power, and if you have a surplus, you can sell it back to the national grid, although how long it would be before the government find a way to tax that is another matter, although inevitable, it could be argued!

If we all generated our own electric like this, the need to build new power stations would diminish. You need to take a long term view on this, and it is only the most ardent “pioneers” who are doing this at present. Also why not use solar powered lights in the garden?

Interior

You could also hang curtains made from hemp and buy some new green-friendly furniture. You could buy decent second hand curtains or even furniture from a charity shop (many sell nearly new ones at bargain prices), and from an ethical point of view, you’ve donated to a worthwhile cause. Re-use, don’t throw away, even if you can afford to buy new, do you really HAVE to?

Buy “A graded” energy efficient appliances such as dishwashers, fridges etc and these will save you money too. Take baths instead of showers. During the autumn months, install cheap and effective draught excluders to cut down on heat loss. Have double glazing fitted if you don’t have it already, although wooden double glazing is better as UPVC manufacture is perhaps not as environmentally friendly as it could be. Or if you’re rich, get a “little man” to do it (!) (The butler?)

Your plans could also include bizarre sounding ideas like chairs and sofas made from recycled bottles and cushions with recycled stuffing, deck chairs made of old milk cartons, and chairs made with removable, washable and replaceable covers. Do you really need to buy brand new furniture?

Also try and find a local workshop or skilled tradesman who could make the furniture locally, preferably from re-used wood. From experience this is harder to find depending on where you live.

If doing an extension or major refurbishment, you could also install wood floors made from reclaimed pallets; you could install long life low emission fluorescent bulbs, and install skylights roof windows or larger windows around the house to minimize daytime lighting needs. And throughout the house why not use non-toxic, water-based paints?

Very importantly, make sure your loft is well insulated. Many local councils in the UK run a “warm homes” scheme for people on low incomes. This was in fact a little known piece of government legislation that enabled this and is covered in full under the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act 2000. Take advantage of these. Most heat loss contrary to what “smarmy” double glazing salesmen tell you, is through the roof, not the windows!

Exterior

The exterior of the house also needs attention. Use water catchment systems like water “butts” to harvest water for watering plants etc. Make sure all your windows are in good condition and are clean to let in the most light. Make sure there are no areas where damp can get into the house. Damp can not only make your house feel colder, it can also very badly affect your health (buy to let landlords take note please).

Make sure the walls are in good condition and get them repainted regularly. One option would be to choose a professional specialist company to apply a long life exterior wallcoating. This specialist high performance paint is installed with either a spray or a roller, depending on the material used.

Not only can it cut down on spending money year after year repainting, it can also stop damp and make the inside of the house warmer due to not only cutting out wind chill, but also insulating properties too. Most of these coatings are far thicker than paint and they don’t need to be redone ever year, so that’s about 10 coats of paint at the same time, saving money and the environment in the long term, especially as many are made with natural dyes and resins in small to mid size manufacturing facilities instead of huge multinational factories belching out smoke and chemicals. The best site to find out more info about insulating exterior coatings for houses is the world renowned www.neverpaintagain.co.uk

The other benefit is that the work is done ONCE every 25 years instead of every year, thus less materials used in time, less van and lorry journeys, and less pollution. (and less money)

Do more research about how to make your house greener, get involved. There are plenty of great websites out there that can offer some valuable help and advise to start going green, and staying green, but its anyone’s guess as to whether the whole world will take note, but its worth a go.

Green lifestyle

There are other smaller things you can do to make your household use less energy and be more green. Consider a hybrid (electric) car. A combination of an electric motor and a normal one. Few cars have them (probably due to pressure from huge oil companies to buy more fuel), but one day these will probably be the norm. If the public transport system in the Uk wasn’t so awful, you could consider taking a bus or train (where they still exist), although if renovating a house, that’s going to be pretty hard, but tell that to the government!

Don’t leave your TV, stereo etc on standby. If you’re not using it, switch it off. Cup of tea? Don’t fill the kettle up for one cup, you’re throwing money away. Off on a plane? With cheap flights it’s tempting but think what you are doing to the planet. Why not holiday in the UK instead. (no, don’t laugh!)

Can we move to a society where we can all “carbon offset” anything we do that uses energy? Carbon offsetting is whereby if you chop down 10 trees to build a house made of wood, then you replant 10 trees (or even more) to “offset” what you’ve done. A very brave vision indeed, although if society will change for the better, only time will tell. With summer around the corner, traditionally the busiest time in the UK for home improvement, just stop and think for a minute about what you’re doing!

Unless you’re mega rich, do you REALLY need that outside spa? Do you REALLY need to buy brand new chain store furniture? And why put a finish outside that you have to repaint every 2 years or so? Whats the point? Evidence from various sources, and from my own analysis, suggest that the housing market in the UK maybe up for a sharp drop in 2008.

As being “green” and environmentally sound is becoming far more popular as people become aware of what they are doing to the planet, a “green” house, or at least a house that is energy efficient, coupled with one that is in good repair and visually appealing, will be easier to sell, and cheaper to maintain in the long term and will provide instant street cred, with the advantage of helping to save our planet.

So what’s stopping you becoming green now?

Reverse Osmosis Systems

Reverse osmosis systems were highest in popularity about 30 years ago. But nowadays, there are much better options people can choose to have cleaner and much healthier water to drink. There is no doubt reverse osmosis systems produce truly pristine water, removing all traces of sediment and of minerals. However, this is not always a good thing. We need trace minerals to supplement our nutrition. Carbon absorption filtration does not remove the trace minerals.

Having reverse osmosis systems for water treatment is better than having no water treatment system at all, but there are far better options out there.  Using a reverse osmosis system may be cheaper than drinking bottled water but it is by no means inexpensive.  Reverse osmosis costs 18 to 24 cents per gallon.  Carbon filtration systems, on the other hand, cost less than 10 cents per gallon. Another, more important way that reverse osmosis systems are wasteful is when it comes to production of water and the time it takes to filter this water. Reverse osmosis systems waste one third of the water they filter.  They are also notorious for being slow because they produce less than a gallon of water per hour. Carbon filtration systems can produce up to 30 gallons of water per hour without wasting a single drop.

In comparison to other water treatment systems like carbon filtration, reverse osmosis systems are high-maintenance and complicated.  Reverse osmosis systems require adequate water pressure and a storage tank with a diaphragm and a lot of difficult-maintenance. Carbon filters on the other hand can be installed in a matter of minutes without the help of a plumber

Acne Control Skin Care – 7 Tips

What is a proper acne control skin care? With so many skin products it is easy to damage your skin instead of helping it. For example, alcohol based cleansers or serious scrubbing will only make your acne worse. Find out how to give your face best acne skin care.

1. Clean your skin with gentle cleansers

Use mild cleansing agent on acne affected skin. Gently rub it in twice a day. If the weather is very hot or you do a lot of exercise makes sure to wash the sweat of your face. Bacteria can accumulate on your face when you are sweating. You can use an astringent cleanser for washing your face. Best cleansers contain benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, licochalone, chamomile, aloe vera, feverfew, and niacinamide. Avoid acne cleanser with high alcohol content, they will dry your skin.

Be careful not to overdo it with the cleansing. Using acne cleanser five times a day instead of two won’t help. Actually it can only make your skin more irritated. Scrubbing acne affected skin is also a bad idea; it will only make acne worse.

2. Use exfoliating acne skin care products

Exfoliating means removing dead skin sells from the surface of your skin. Not only these sells make your skin look dull, they are also a good food for bacteria. At home you can use mild exfoliating scrubs about once a week. For a more dramatic effect ask a dermatologist if dermabrasion or a chemical peel can help you to get rid of acne.

3. Simplest rule of acne skin care – no squeezing and pinching

Don’t tease your skin. It might be very tempting to get rid of these terrible whiteheads by squeezing them, but they will only pop up again and look even more awful then before. And it can also leave a scar on your skin.

4. Sun is the enemy of acne affected skin

Sun is damaging for any skin, but it is particularly dangerous when you have acne. First, acne makes your skin more sensitive. Second, most acne medications like cleansers and acne creams make your skin more susceptible to sun damage. Using a sun block cream is not a good idea, most sun screen creams are oil based. So for proper acne skin care stay out of the sun or wear a hat.

5. Shave with care when you have acne

Shaving can be a problem. Whether you use electric razor or a safety razor take extra care when shaving, if you have acne. If you use a safety razor, make sure it is very sharp. It is best to use disposable razors. Soften your beard with water and soap before putting a shaving cream on. It is recommended to use shaving creams for sensitive skin. And, most important, don’t shave very often, because every shaving disturbs your skin and can make blemishes worse.

6. Select make-up carefully

Make-up can help to hide acne and acne scars, but you have to be careful applying it. Only select water based (not oil based) congealers and foundations. Avoid cheap cosmetic, it can damage your skin farther. If you use blush, go for a powder blush instead of a stick blush, it is less likely to clog your pores.

Remove your make up as soon as you get home. Even the best cosmetic is not really good for acne affected skin. It can clog your pores causing more acne breakouts. If you notice that your acne are getting worse, switch to a different brand make up. And don’t use make-up unless absolutely necessary – decorative cosmetic is not a friend for acne skin care.

7. Keep dirty hands off your face

When working in the garden or doing any other dirty work, never touch your face. It can transfer bacteria to your skin and cause an acne breakout.

Stick to these simple rules of best acne skin care. Combined with a good acne treatment or medication they will help you to clean your face of acne and bring back your beautiful skin.

Portable Water Purification System-Do You Need a Portable Water Purifier Device?

Before you buy a portable water purification system ask yourself these 2 questions: 1.  Why do I need a portable water purifier device vs a stationary water filter system? 2. Is there another choice?  By reading this article you will know the answers.

If you are hiking, for example, you need something that will remove giardia.  The illness that it causes is very common among hikers. A portable water system could be best if its just you and the mountain stream.

Office Water Quality?

If you are just concerned about the quality of what comes out of the office tap, then you can get portable water purification system in a sports bottle.  They are quite inexpensive.  Of course, the quality varies. 

Some only contain granulated carbon, so they only remove some chlorine and odor.  Others can remove lead, chlorine and a variety of chemical contaminants.  It’s always best to check product performance data, before you buy.

Depending on where you office is located, you may need a portable water purification system that removes lead.  Of course, it also depends on the age of your building and when the pipes were put in.

Lead and other Contaminants

Lead contamination is a widespread problem, but some cities have a bigger problem than others, because the heavy metal was used to line the underground pipes that transport water from the treatment facility to homes and offices.

If you work in DC or Baltimore and you want to use your office tap, you need a portable water purification system that removes lead.  If you can, you should get your company to invest in a better filtration device that fits right onto the tap.  There would be numerous advantages.

First, you could use filtered water to make coffee.  It will taste better and be better for you.  A coffee filter does not remove chemical contaminants and during boiling, those chemicals are released into the air along with the steam.

Some chemical compounds, like THMs cause cancer.  You are exposed to THM in numerous ways, but anytime that you can limit your exposure, you should.

The Best Approach to Water Purification

Of course, the advantage to you would be that you would not have to worry about carrying a portable water purifier to work with you.  You might also consider doing something else on a regular basis. See my website listed below for alternative choices to portable water filtering systems.

It’s fine to use a portable water purification system on an occasional basis, but for daily use, you are better off filtering at home with a multi-stage system, storing it in glass bottles in the refrigerator and carrying that to work with you.  Plastic can affect the taste and the safety of the water, particularly after time.

There is another important safety tip about a portable water purification system.  Remember to replace it fairly often and don’t use strong detergents to clean it.  You may want to insure that it is clean, but if you put it in the dishwasher the plastic will degrade and end up contaminating your clean H20.

Of course there are various types of systems for different needs.   But, shop according to the contaminants you are faced with and you will know what to buy. See my website listed below for more information on water purifier systems and water purifier devices.

Health Effects of Drinking Reverse Osmosis

It may be true that there is no water on earth purer than water that has undergone reverse osmosis.  The technology for the reverse osmosis water filtering process was created in the 1970′s, and since then many scientists have attested to its value, and even the United States military has approved its use in all branches of the armed forces and many more.  Reverse osmosis is able to remove chemicals in drinking water supplies that other processes simply can’t.  For instance, boiling water is effective (although it’s also time-consuming) at eliminating most contaminants, unless those contaminants can be converted into gases and breathed in.

For example, when chlorine is set at high temperatures it changes into chloroform gas, which can cause health problems when inhaled over long periods of time.  Reverse osmosis also gets rid of viruses and bacteria that most filters can’t get rid of because those viruses are too small to block.  Heavy metals, radioactive products, drugs and pharmaceutical remnants, and all pesticides can also be eliminated through reverse osmosis but not necessarily through other kinds of water filters.  In addition, because reverse osmosis eliminates tiny particles of rock, stone and sediment in drinking water, this water will help you to avoid kidney stones, arthritis, and blocked arteries.  The only drawback here is that water that has undergone reverse osmosis does not contain any minerals, which can be beneficial.  However, as long as you eat a balanced diet you are probably taking in more than enough minerals anyway.

Gurgaon Reviving, But ?infrastructure? Still a Road Block

For the last few months Gurgaon real estate industry was undergoing a slow down phase but now it is back to life. According to industry sources, the current upward trend in the property values is not just confined to the high-end luxury apartments, but the HUDA properties are also doing well.

Retrospectively, during the hitch period, the apartment capital value, in the range of Rs 3500-3800 per sq ft came crashing down to Rs 2500 per sq ft, making the property market of the city slump like never before. But, at present, property values have doubled and even tripled at some places.

Researches unearth that, the fall by and large was due to the lack of infrastructure facilities in Gurgaon. Gurgaon real estate agent, Anil Mehta adds, “besides poor infrastructure facilities the bad response to certain properties further resulted in the shortage of investors so much so that NRI investors nearly gone astray from the market but now the business has regained the lost tempo.”

Though, the real estate developers are trying to deal with the infrastructure concern and some are already on track to become self-sufficient in terms of power and water, the problem continues to persist. Indeed, a host of residential projects by realty majors, such as, DLF, Unitech, Vipul and Parsvnath are likely to have rain harvesting plants, water treatment techniques and facility of 100% power back-up.

Since, an end users focus is good quality infrastructure and considering the fact that Gurgaon is not best at that, it’s basically the investor who’s having the cake at the moment. Moreover, as the number of upcoming residential and commercial projects in Gurgaon is increasing with every passing day, the biggest sufferer of the boom remains the increasing pressures on the civic amenities.

Controlling the Causes That Elevate Nummular Eczema

Nummular Eczema is medically known as nummular eczematous dermatitis. As the name describes, this is a skin disorder forms round coin-sized patches on the skin. In many cases, it can also be an allergy of some medicine. This disorder is common in the people who have dry skin and is a frequent sight in winter season. Soaps, woolen garments, taking bath more than once a day can elevate the condition. Using detergents, soaps, rough textured clothes in this condition, easily irritate the skin. Mild liquid hand wash soaps, fabric softeners can also worsen the disease.

Extreme climatic conditions may aggravate the eczema. Medical allergies may worsen the diseases but they cannot be the cause for eczema. There is no known cure against eczema, but there are effective ways of controlling it. High-powered prescribed ointments can be applied over the affected area. Nevertheless, if the disorder continues, then dermatology tests are recommended. However, these ointments should not be used in armpits, rectal area, groin and face. It is recommended to rub these ointments into the skin with a light massage. The application of the ointment depends on the severity of the disorder but in most of the cases applying the ointment once a day on the affected area is considered to be sufficient.

Eczema can be of various types and the severity of the disorder may vary from person to person. Ointments with a percentage of coal tar are effective for the people suffering from scaly nummular eczema, but this ointment can leave stains and smells on the clothes. Taking oral medicines and antibiotics may also be needed in some cases. However, severe cases can be cured by taking prescribed internal doses of medicines and injections. Itching is often followed along with the rashes of the disorder. Ultraviolet ray’s treatments, which are given in the dermatology clinics, is an effective way to control the constant itching eruptions.

It is recommended to keep the skin moist by applying the Alpha- Keri oil or the Neutrogena oil after the shower. Vaseline is not too greasy and can be applied over the affected areas. Maintaining clean hygienic habits will lessen the disorder and help heal the eczema faster. Take a bath or a shower once a day to keep the skin lubricated. Do not use very hot water for bath as this might dry the skin. Wipe the body with a clean towel instead of rubbing it with the towel. Do not dry the skin completely. Do not use harsh soaps for cleaning the skin as it dries the skin completely thus increasing the chances of eczema.

Keep the use of the soaps minimum while washing the face, armpits, feet and the genital areas. Use mild soaps like dove, cetaphil, and oil of Olay etc instead of using concentrated soaps. Keep away from all the synthetic clothing materials like wool. It is recommended to use soft cotton clothes. Use the perfume free and the dye free detergents for washing and laundering the clothes. Controlling the causes that elevate eczema will definitely help in keeping a control over this disorder.

Pros and Cons of Solar Energy

There are many pros and cons of solar energy. There are many uses for solar energy, for example, it can be used for electricity, heating for your home, getting hot water, and cooking

Solar energy comes from rays generated from the sun. However, when the rays emitted from the sun enters earth’s atmosphere, it dilutes quite a bit

You can only collect energy during the day. Therefore if you need electricity or hot water during the night, like many of us do, it can be a problem.

One of the more obvious disadvantages is that you need the sun’s rays in order to use solar energy. If you are in a location on this great planet where there is not much sunlight, you may not be able to use this source of energy.

If some of these are a problem, or pose difficulty for your household, you may want to think twice about getting a solar energy system. One of the more obvious disadvantages is that you need the sun’s rays in order to use solar energy. If you are in a location on this great planet where there is not much sunlight, you may not be able to use this source of energy.

There are many pros for using solar energy, especially if the conditions are right. Solar energy costs less money than electric heating. By just using solar energy you can save a lot of money on heaters. In return you will get lower electric bills and it also means that you don’t have to maintain heaters.

Desalination of water is a great use of solar energy if you are in an area where fresh water is scarce.

The suns rays are nearly endless, so you never have to worry about fuel costs This can shave off quite a hefty sum of money for your overall bill!

Solar energy is very clean. In order to produce heat or electricity to use with solar energy, you only need the sun’s rays. You don’t need to use harmful fossil fuels when using solar energy If you want to generate energy, all you need is a solar energy collector or solar power panels.

Reverse Osmosis Water Filters ? How Efficient Are They?

Reverse Osmosis water filters are probably the oldest. They have been here since many years now. But recent studies have raised some serious questions on the quality of the water they produce. Let us find out more about the same.

If you check the history of reverse osmosis water filters, you will find them being used in photography industry only. Later with changing time, they were made available in the form of home water purifiers as well.

So far everything sounds okay. But then why is it that medical experts are saying a strict ‘NO’ to consuming water produced by reverse osmosis water filters?

To understand the complete truth, you need to first understand how these filters work.

They have a thin semi permeable membrane which has ultra fine pores in it. The way this filtration technique works is simple – it acts like a fine sieve. Whatever is smaller than the size of the pores is allowed to pass while the larger molecules are blocked behind.

So when water is forced under pressure to pass through this membrane, it being smaller in size, easily passes through it. Whereas, the larger contaminants present in water get blocked by this membrane and hence get separated from water.

Now, let us evaluate the effectiveness of this filtration technique by asking two simple questions –

1. What about the contaminants which have a smaller molecular size?

Chlorine and prescription drugs are examples of such contaminants. They have a smaller molecular size – small enough to pass through the membrane – and hence they too pass along with water. As a result, the “purified” water is still contaminated.

2. What about the minerals which are larger in size?

Natural water is rich in mineral traces. These minerals are essential for the day to day activities of our body and consuming water rich in them is the best source of ensuring their regular supply to the body.

Now since these minerals are larger than the size of the pores, they get blocked by the membrane. These minerals are thus stripped off from water and what you get is actually mineral deprived water.

This de-mineralized water is not only flat in taste but it leads to mineral deficiencies too.

These are the reasons why medical experts today are not recommending reverse osmosis water filters. Let them be used only for industrial purpose only.

Now that you know how effective reverse osmosis water filters are, I am sure you would be interested in knowing about an efficient alternative as well. The information about the same is shared on my website. Do visit to know more.

Reusing Water

When Green Plumbing is the topic, often times water conservation and re-usability goes along with it. The best way to improve something is to first look at what you have and what is been wasted. That’s exactly the point of using “graywater” again-”reusing water”.

Wastwater that has been used in clothes washing, showers, bathtubs, lavatory sinks, etc, is called Graywater. This water can be stored in proper tanks, even without treatment, and than can be pumped out for outside irrigation. Graywater can also be, with separate connections apart from the cold water line, connected to a toilet tank and used for flushing; of course, minimum treatment of graywater is necessary for this use but the savings are worth the effort. It must be noted, from this point on, toilet water (blackwater) cannot be the topic for “reusing water” and needes to be disposed off properly into OSST or community sewer.

Graywater is mostly stored inside of a building, so proper volume is built for “reusing water”. It is recommended to keep the storage water time short to prevent anaerobic bacteria to produce methane and foul-smelling hydrogen sulfide; so, proper controls are in place in order to use graywater.

Even though the idea of “reusing water” is recognized, it must be mentioned that such graywater system is not permitted in all places; in Arizona, California, New Mexico, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Savannah, Georgia graywater system is allowed. Montana, New York, Oregon, and Washington are four other states that are on schedule for statewide regulations, which do not come easy for whole-building graywater system and will, most likely, include lavatory wastewater into adjacent toilet for flushing only.

When installing graywater system into a structure, separate, dual, drainage piping must be installed for wastewater. Graywater collection and storage system itself must be marked off and be completely separate from portable water. Necessary strict supervision will be necessary to prevent mixing and contaminating fresh water supply.
Because of difficulty in finding proper expertise in the field to install “reusing water” system to the local regulations with a reasonable price, graywater system installation can be expensive and only installed when conservation of water is on the table, rather than financial return…
