Cost-effective pasture management practices in Kyrgyzstan are helping to reduce negative impacts of livestock grazing on land and improve rural livelihoods.
The project is also working on attracting farmers to distant pastures by installing green technologies, including six mini hydropower stations and 18 solar energy stations. This equipment helps to improve the livelihoods of families and shepherds working in distant pastures.

Foundations incorporating used car tyres, rigid oak frame with straw bale walls and lime rendering. Sedum roof and natural linoleum flooring. Heat pump provides renewable energy. Nearing completion Aug 2010. London Borough of Sutton.
Birmingham Central based Hybrid 5509 makes a dash down Smallbrook Queensway on service 24. These Volvo B5LH/Wright buses still have that 'mini/shrunk in the wash' Wright Gemini look about them. Further green technology orders by NXWM include: 10 x Wright HEV96 gyro drive Hybrids in 2017 followed by 19 x Electric buses and 22 x Fuel Cell vehicles in 2018.

From the toxic waste created by the extreme extraction of tar sands destroying indigenous communities in Canada, to toxins created by the BP Whiting refinery producing sacrifice communities in the Greater Chicago area, to the resultant catastrophic effect on our climate, the urgent need for a just transition away from fossil fuels to a 100% renewable energy economy is abundantly clear.

Because an eco-design toolkit could have a wider impact than an eco-design product, Brazilian designer Luiz Moreira created Apekatu, a toolkit to inspire the development of products that are better adaptable to specific needs and environments. The whole kit is biodegradable and printed using water-based inks.It consists of a strategy wheel with three areas -Human, Artificial and Natural- a website and a set of cards with example that come in a box made from Sundeala, a recycled newspaper new material being produced in the UK.

Steamfun/Steamfunc (functionalist steampunk) water-pipe-organ-flute (hydraulophone).
It's also called a "florgan" because it's part flute and part calliope (like a steam organ but with water).
It sounds like steam whistles, but with the intricate musical expressivity of a flute.
This is part of the whole series of renewable energy images that we are digging up from the "secret" (not really) archives to post for general use by all.

Children's hydraulophone waterflute, a musical instrument that's like a
woodwind instrument but runs on water rather than wind.
This flute has 12 finger holes, and is most easy to play on a diatonic scale,
but you can also play sharps and flats after some practice.
Installed in public parks and pools, it's fun, easy-to-play, and
a highly expressive musical instrument suitable for children's music,
jazz, classical, and can also be used to play a wide variety of world
music from many different cultures.
