renewable power equipment is an example of a piece of capital that offers global externality benefits as its adoption reduces global GHG emissions. This means that importing nations and the rest of the world gain if exporting nations such as China choose to strategically subsidize green industries such as solar panel makers and wind turbine makers. Note that these products are different than toys or cars that the mass production of these goods lowers the price of adopting green technology by mainstream U.S firms such as Walmart. The U.S in its pursuit of protecting "U.S jobs" is sacrificing environmental progress. Will mainstream environmentalists acknowledge this point?

"Uns premis amb trajectòria i actes de difusió d'alt valor afegit Des de l'any 2001, el Premis DXR han permès mostrar com el món de la indústria i el disseny ha internalitzat la gestió de residus en els seus processos, incorporant-los com a nous materials i minimitzant al màxim la seva generació. Des de barreges asfàltiques, automòbils, tèxtils, packaging, productes electrònics, fins a iniciatives i estratègies impulsades des d'escoles de disseny o associacions; han estat premiades al llarg de les anteriors sis convocatòries."

The project uses the frame of a 1950s building as a shell in which to build its experimental space. Over the past five years, this formerly vacant building has been repurposed and extended with minimal costs for materials. Professor Bernd Kniess, dean of Hafencity University's urban design department, is primarily concerned with questions of sustainability, renewal and repurposing in urban space. How to transform the existing? How can the new emerge from the old? Both the building itself and the city around it are employed as resources. Every piece of the building that is removed in the remodeling is then redeployed with a new function elsewhere. Discarded materials from surrounding construction sites are harvested and upcycled at the UdN. This patchwork process requires those engaged in the reconstruction to deal with building's structure as it was found, to develop new courses of action and productively channel uncertainty and risk. In this situation, sustainability does not rest solely on the objects used. Most importantly, it is fostered by relationships-by the neighborhood.

"Last year, solar panels sold online all over the world produced enough energy to even out energy required to manufacture them. The statistics are certainly bright, which further go on to state that by 2020, the production of solar energy will certainly offset the cost of producing the solar panels. "

But what if every wind turbine became a node in an energy internet, communicating with the grid and each other to adjust electricity production while storing and releasing electricity as needed? La conexión, las predicciones de cuánta energía necesitarán en los próximos 15 minutos y una pequeña batería, lo hacen posible. Por qué publicamos en mimbrea, porque aunque es de una escala mucho mayor, porque, como dice el artículo, en Europa los estados están legislando para favorecer las energías más predecibles y porque si se desarrolla puede pasar pronto a menores escalas.

Research conducted by the Scottish government in 2001 highlights the key issue - people used to accept that they would have to maintain their homes. "The longevity of earth buildings is due, in part, to the regular maintenance regimes that were integral to traditional practice. A change of attitude is necessary if modern earth buildings are to survive equally well as current construction practice promotes 'maintenance-free' products such as cement renders and masonry paints."
