Another surprising but earthier object within the show was Seungjae Oh’s Beehive for Gardeners. Created from a mix of recycled newspaper and bees’ wax -- used as a hardener and eco-binder -- this non-toxic, safe and waterproof home for the little buzzers can be hung from any tall tree branch.
Adjacent to the Milton, Ontario Walmart store, the 20-killowatt wind turbine is expected to generate as much as 50,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, enough to power four average size Canadian households. The wind turbine has been designed for low wind speed areas, where wind power has not been previously practical, and can operate in wind speeds as low as 10 kilometres per hour.
Power generated will be returned to the electrical grid under Ontario's feed-in tariff program for renewable energy. The company will use these pilot projects to assess the effectiveness and potential benefits of these systems to potentially power some of its stores in the future.
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.

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.

Looking down over the funicular line going up and down from the entrance of the Centre for Alternative Technology (in the southern part of Meirionydd, Gwynedd, northwestern Wales, near Machynlleth, which is in Powys, Mid Wales), to its main, upper level and back, on a mostly sunny morning in early May.
According to the Centre's Website (consulted 1 March 2014), "CAT is an education and visitor centre demonstrating practical solutions for sustainability. We cover all aspects of green living: environmental building, eco-sanitation, woodland management, renewable energy, energy efficiency and organic growing." It was founded on the site of a former slate quarry in 1973 and has since expanded considerably from its original size and scope. (My husband and I first visited it in 1989, then saw the extent of its growth when we returned in 2012.) The water-powered funicular is just one example of its reliance on the the types of alternative energy and modes of living that it demonstrates.
Please note: The angle of the track is steeper than this picture makes clear.

The day we hired mopeds and bombed about Wellington, free as birds in the sunshine, we also visited the Vesta wind turbine high above the city.
At the time wind turbine technology was still nascent, but now it's commonplace with the need to reduce carbon usage.
What better image is there of the simplicity of a wind turbine. To be, there is no argument for objection.
I don't remember the exact position for my geotag, hence the runway of Wellington airport - can anyone help on this one?
