Greenland ice melt reaches alarming rate because of global warming and sudden climate change. Check out how largest US cities will effect with the height of sea level rise if greenland ice melts.

The other nutrients and fertilizers you're using now will reach their full potential with the synergistic maximizing effects of humic and fulvic acid.

Cloning is the most commonly used technique to get plants with the same genetic package growing together in a hydroponic system.

How making things easier or more efficient makes people more careless or use it in new ways that use more of it.

This article is about some research being done at MIT to see how it might be possible to use microbes lining cow intestines to break down cellulose and lignin into sugar and make fuel from that. Such compounds are found in grass and wood chips, consequently MIT also looked into termites but they proved to be too small to generate any significant data.

This research sounds amazing but I couldn't help but looking at the poor cow. Part of what sustainability is about is helping the environment and that includes animals. Even though this would be awesome for the atmosphere, they require a lot of enzymes for this fuel to work. This means more cows I believe, correct me if I'm wrong.

Well yea, poor cows, but we would have to think that there are tons of cow guts that I'm sure that is just thrown away. It sounds gross but might as well use what is being thrown away. One thing that came to my mind was that in the long run if Chinquapin decides to also have hows that we would eat, what better than use the guts from them. It won't be much but I'm sure that we could also contact the slaughter house (and I'm pretty sure they kill a good number of cows per day).

The perfect starting place for new growers or for growers accustomed to basic fertilizer programs with some use of yield boosters

Hydroponic gardening also offers several benefits to our environment. Hydroponic gardening uses considerably less water than soil gardening

Rhino Skin has been specially designed for use with all hydroponics, sphagnum, coco coir and soil growing mediums

YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE GETTING ALL YOU CAN OUT OF YOUR WALL FAN SYSTEM, BUT... IF YOU AREN'T USING THIS, YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE POWER OF A PREMIUM WALL FAN SYSTEM, OFFERING SUPERIOR CONTROL, UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE AND ABOVE INDUSTRY STANDARDS.

Rockwool is much more alkaline than other media, so you need to adjust the pH of your nutrients to create an ideal pH for the root zone

This might be useful for a simple, basic windmill. Maybe it could help our prototype and we can enhance it.

and here is another one that is more specific and highlights the core materials. http://windturbinesforthehome.org/Wind_Turbine_Generators.html

and here is an even BETTER one. http://www.mywindpowersystem.com/2009/03/how-to-build-a-windmill/

"The Shell Center creates an interdisciplinary program of research, outreach and education to address actions that can be taken to ensure the sustainable development of living standards, interpreted broadly, to encompass all factors affecting the quality of life including environmental resources. It supports the efforts of Rice University's faculty, staff and students to better our planet's economy, society and environment."

I think it would be great to collaborate in the studies with Rice. I also think that we could easily get in contact with a current student so they could come talk to us about their sustainability project.

I think that having a speaker would be good. And since it's so close by it is very convenient that we could personally go to the campus and maybe even sit in on one of their lectures or talks over this project.
