U Khway Pu : “There has been deforestation all my life. When I was a child, it took me one day by cow cart to get to the large forest. Now it would take me 15-16 days. The village has grown so more land is needed for farms. More wood is needed for building. We used to cut the trees and burn the wood for fertiliser. But that has stopped now as there is no forest left near here.”
Esenaman once used to be one of the major watering spots for the Garagum livestock; one of Turkmenistan’s most lucrative economic sectors. Now, all that the rusty steel pipes leading into the reservoir of water serve as is a reminder of its past. Climate change and harsh weather conditions dried up the devices used to collect and store water. Shepherds and herders brought their livestock elsewhere to graze, putting pressure on those land areas.
Now a solar-powered pump and renovated containment systems will provide water for the livestock to return.

The solar array in Lind is situated on 200 acres, is the result of a partnership between Avista Utilities and Strata Solar. Strata Solar developed, owns, and operates the solar facility in Lind, which is within Avista’s service area. Avista has a power purchase agreement with Strata Solar to provide the energy generated from the solar array to Avista customers.
The last sunflower was set in motion in Tin Ujević elementary school in Zagreb.
Founded by Hrvatski Telekom and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the HRK 400,000 project "Solar Sunflowers" is intended to educate school children about renewable energy sources through the installation of ten small solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

The front of the tunnel is still blocked with the access chamber, built for access when the entrance was buried under tons of earth.

A solar-powered night light I made recently. It uses:
(a) The Joule Thief circuit from here:
www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/joulethief
(b) A Super Capacitor (100 Farads !)
(c) A flexible solar cell (ebay)
(d) A PNP transistor to hold the joule thief off, while light is falling on the solar cell.
I built part of the circuit in "free space", as it was reasonably simple. The joule thief is on strip-board because I had made that a while ago just to see how well it works independently.

Mosman Council is trialling a new solar-powered compactor waste bin. The system automatically compacts rubbish at the point of disposal, dramatically increasing capacity by 5 times the footprint of ordinary bins. It is hoped the new bin will reduce the incidences of litter overflow and waste ending up in our waterways, particularly over the summer months. The increased capacity reduces collection trips and can cut related fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions by 80%.
Safe, easy to use, and designed to keep out pests, the BigBelly has already proven its worth in a variety of environments and will come into its own by keeping out birds and other pests.

Members of Tesla Energy install solar panels on Menlo School's Creative Arts Center. Photo by Pete Zivkov.
The panels feeding the heat pump of the clinic in Crosne ( outskirts of Paris, France) are made of simple black rubber tubes. They are laid on the roof and filled with a 30% glycol solution below atmospheric pressure. Together with the heat pumps they enable year-round production of hot water.
I haven't charged my cellphone in a wall outlet since christmas eve.
I got this solar powered charger, with a built in battery.
It workes by beeing placed in the window, were the sun can charge it. It is then charged during the day, and in the evening I can plug it into my cell phone. Next morning my phone is fully charged.
I really like the idea of beeing able to charge my phone, in a CO2 neutral way.

Bold Nebraska and Pipeline Fighters installed solar panels in the path of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, on Diana and "Stix" Steskal's Prairierose Farm near Atkinson, NE on Saturday, Sept. 16.
Donate $25 now to put solar in the path of KXL: bit.ly/solarxl
This second Solar XL project installation follows the first solar panels that were installed on the farm of Jim and Chris Carlson on the KXL pipeline route. Details for the 3rd Solar XL installation site announced soon!
The families partnered with Solar XL project sponsors Bold Nebraska, 350.org, Indigenous Environmental Network, CREDO, and Oil Change International to put renewable energy directly in the pipeline’s path. Solar XL underscores the need to center solutions to climate change while rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline and resisting the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.
