The Roadmap to a Sustainable World
Do you fantasize about a world without plastic or electricity bills? Getting started with the 'new renewable you' is a daunting task. Between YouTube stars with five years’ worth of trash in one jar and DIY superstars living off the grid, it feels impossible.
What if the problem is not with you but rather our economy?
Electricity Storage: the next challenge for Renewables
As renewables grow, electricity storage becomes essential. Learn how batteries and grid tech are shaping the future of clean, reliable energy worldwide.
Recycling in America
You are late for work. Standing in line at a supermarket, you glare at the slow shop assistant while inching your way to the front of the queue.
After what feels like an hour, you finally buy what you came for. It's a vitamin boosting concoction with enough caffeine to get you buzzing. It's the big meeting day and you need all the energy you can get.
At the office, you neaten your clothes and get your notes ready - it's time. Downing the last bit of your drink, you drop it neatly into the recycling bin. Time to crush that meeting.
Wait.. hold on... you dropped your empty bottle into the recycling bin?
Not only are you a super busy career worker, but you have time to be kind to the planet too? Your whole office deserves an award just for having a recycling bin in the first place. All this good karma is going to be great for you, the business AND the environment.
But before getting too happy, let’s see what happens to that bottle you just threw away.
Do Solar Panels work in the Cold?
Solar panels are the golden child of renewable energy source. They continue to produce electricity in almost all weather conditions. Interestingly, solar panels work even better in cold environments. When we think of energy from the sun, we automatically imagine the warmth we feel and assume that it's all about heat. But solar energy is more like photosynthesis. It's about the light, not the heat. Like a computer, the panels operate better if they are colder. Cold and sunny climates are the perfect location for solar panels.

The Impact of Offshore Wind Farms
Wind is the world's fastest growing renewable power source. With businesses around the globe competing to help countries meet their energy goals, wind turbine technology has been progressing at a hasty rate. The annual growth rate of wind power capacity has averaged at 25% in the last 5 years. Running out of viable land, coastal areas are looking to the world's oceans to continue growing their wind capacity.

Can the World Go Renewable?
Let's be honest, we all like the idea of renewable energy. No guilt and no global warming sound like a fantastic combo. The world's leaders are slowly coming around and realizing the importance of going green. Getting the world to run on 100% renewable energy sounds like a dream come true. But, are renewable energy sources viable on a large scale? Research says we can get there by 2050 without going bankrupt and it might even be profitable.
Energy Saving Tip
In order to save money on your electric bill: Turn Down your Heating by 5 degrees Fahrenheit. 47% of the energy used in homes is for Heating and Water. Each 5 degrees increase in temperature produces a 7% to 12% increase in Energy Consumption.
