ANY INVENTION IDEAS FOR A "GREEN" PRODUCT MADE FROM SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL?
i have a school project and i need to invent a "GREEN" product made from sustainable material. i have a pretty tight budget and time constraint and have no electrical experience whatsoever. if you dont have any ideas could you give me some examples of sustainable materials
Thankyou
WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS:
Sustainable materials: wood because you can plant another tree..mayabe create some sort of paper product Cardboard box that would biodegrade into fertilizer or mulch for a veggie garden?
Water power/ wave action power to produce energy for a small custom green business
wind power
grasses/grains
plant based oils
A sustainable material is a material that can be replanted, or partially harvested (will regrow), or is just 'there' free for use.

BEST SOLUTIONS FOR GREEN ENERGY AND WHY?
I'm making a research PAPER for my English class, (11th grade)
And I've chosen the topic as GREEN energy..
I'm going to use three "solutions,"
one of which IS fusion POWER, however I am undecided on the rest, can you all tell me what other two and why they are more effective than everything else?
Just a few valid points and trade offs to each one, I'll do the rest.
Thank you all
WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS:
Wind and solar because there is a lot of energy potential form both
both are renewable, and both put out massive amounts of energy, the only problem is tapping that energy

"GREEN" BICYCLE RACE -- NEED SPONSOR?
I've got an idea for a bicycle race where human POWERIS combined with solar, WIND, battery, and/or "braking generators". You'd set a MINIMUM weight on the bike, say 250lbs to encourage folks to innovate and install other devices on their vehicle (or trike or quad whatever), ensuring that a professional cyclist cannot win without assistance from other energy sources. You'd establish limits on the dimensions of the vehicle when on the road, and different limits when parked (perhaps the rider would spread out solar POWER panels for stationary charging or turn its wheels into windmills). There would be 4 legs to the race:
1. Human powered (including any real-time charge that could be generated after starting the race with dead batteries)
2. Idle/stationary charge time (simulating the rider being at work)
3. Alternative energy only, and
4. Dual POWER.
DOES ANYBODY OUT THERE WORK FOR A COMPANY THAT IS INTERESTED IN ORGAINZING AND SPONSORING SUCH AN EVENT?
WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS:
I don't know anything specific, but you could talk to:
local bike shops
big bike companies and ask (without giving details first) for contact info for their local rep
clothing shops
battery retail outlets
check the net for companies that might have equipment that could be used.
Don't be afraid to think out of the box for sponsorship If you have a route planned, think about businesses on the route. Think about green oriented companies.
Think about prosperous companies that aren't terribly green that might want to put some cash into getting their name associated with something eco-friendly.
Find specific examples of companies that have product that could be used and talk to them.
I helped a local (asian) company work out a sponsorship deal for an overseas racing team.
The company had some requirements for them that might be applied to your situation as well.
If anyone is going to give out sponsorship dollars or free gear or whatever, they are going to want to get something back for their efforts.
Think what you can provide them:
Having a capable pro photographer helps boatloads! If he sucks, you will get nothing. If he can't show a portfolio (and a relevant one at that), you will get nothing.
Think of how you can get media attention for your event:
Talk to local papers and local community magazines and get some plans for having solid details (ie a written agreement to place an article in their published material of a certain length with specific mention of sponsors).
Get as much planned out in advance as possible. Get the route planned. The approximate date and time. Prizes. Photographers names and websites. Find out what permits you need. Find out costs. Plan the number of volunteers required. Plan the emergency services. Plan checkpoints (water, tools, pumps, energy bars)
Set up a blog for the event itself. Make it organized and neat.
It's going to be a lot of work, but if it's worth it to you, you could make it happen.
Right there are enough ideas that you could grab your local phone book and build a list of probably a hundred phone numbers or more to call. Google would probably give you 30 or 40 email addresses.

BEING GREEN!?
Me and my science group are doing a conservation project and we have to talk about being GREEN and easy ways. Remember these tips are going to be said to kids ages 5-14 so make it easy enough and affordable enough for them. thnx sooo much.
WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS:
REDUCE
Reduce your stuff. Commercialization has resulted in an overabundance of stuff in many homes and businesses across the world, but more so, here in the United States. Take a look around you - how much of that stuff do you really need? Before you purchase another item - ask yourself - do I really need this?
Reduce the amount of driving you do.
Reduce your energy consumption.
Reduce your subscriptions to newspapers or magazines - its all online anyhow!
Reduce the number of cleaning supplies in your house and clean green with three basic ingredients.
REUSE
Around the house, think before you toss. Can this item be used again (safe and sanitary, of course)?
Take your own shopping bags to the market or any store for that matter.
Pass on outgrown clothing to a friend or neighbor who can use it.
RECYCLE
Recycling is not just separating your green glass from your brown or collecting newspapers. Send your ink jet and laser printer cartridges back for recycling - many cartridge companies will even provide you with postage free return shipping.
You can recycle car batteries, tires, and motor oil.
RENEW
Renewable resources that is! Always choose paper over plastic when given the choice. Paper is a renewable resource. We can plant more trees. Petroleum used for making plastic is not. When it is gone, its gone.
What about solar power and wind generated power? These are viable energy sources but we need to educate the masses.
RESPECT
We only have one Earth and we all have to live on it together. Respect your environment and try to leave the smallest footprint possible.

WHAT IS GREEN TECHNOLOGY?
What IS it and what ere examples of it.
WINDMILL FARMS ANSWERS:
Recycling
Recycling is a Worldwide Phenomenon, which is a basic application towards the concept of Green Technology. It shows and encourages people to reuse items that can be reusable. Items like saving Cans of food or drinks, Paper etc have been encouraged by the governing bodies around America and rest of the world, to be recycled so that it can be used in the future for several other purposes. It can thus help protect the environment and cause less waste/pollution.
[edit] Water Purification
Water purification: The whole idea of having dirt/germ/pollution free water flowing throughout the environment. Many other phenomenons' lead from this concept of Purification of water. Water Pollution is the main enemy of this concept, and various campaigns and activists have been organized around the world to help purify Water. Considering the amount of water usage that is under current consumptions, this Concept is of utter Importance.
[edit] Air Purification
Air Purification: basic and common green plants can be grown indoors to keep air fresh because all plants remove CO2 and converts it into oxygen. The best examples are: Dypsis lutescens, Sansevieria trifasciata, and Epipremnum aureum.
[edit] Sewage treatment
Sewage treatment is a concept that is really close to Water Purification. Sewage Treatments are very important as it purifies water in levels of its pollution. The more the water is polluted, it's not used for anything, the least polluted water is supplied to places where Water is used affluently. It may lead to vaious other concepts of environmental protection, sustainability etc.
[edit] Environmental remediation
Environmental remediation is the removal of pollutants or contaminants for the general protection of the environment. This is accomplished by various chemical, biological, and bulk movement methods, in conjunction with environmental monitoring. (encyclopedia of medical concepts)
[edit] Solid waste management
Solid waste management is the purification, Consumption, Reuse, Disposal and Treatment of solid waste that is looked after by the government or the ruling bodies of a city/town.
[edit] Renewable energy
Renewable energy is energy that can be replenished easily. For years we have been using sources like wood, sun, water etc for means for producing energy. Energy that can be produced by natural objects like wood, sun, wind etc is considered to be renewable.
[edit] eGain forecasting
Egain forecasting is a method using forecasting technology to predict the future weather's impact on a building. By adjusting the heat based on the weather forecast, the system eliminates redundant use of heat, thus reducing the energy consumption and the emission of greenhouse gases.
[edit] Energy Conservation
Energy conservation is the utilization of devices that require smaller amounts of energy in order to reduce the consumption of electricity. Reducing the use of electricity causes less fossil fuels to be burned to provide that electricity.
[edit] Alternative and clean power
