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.
You can view this little wonder at Balmoral, where it was installed today.
Tabakoro village, Mali: Women learn to read, write and count at evening classes in their local school. The classes were set up after the Mali Folk centre installed solar panels on the roof of the school which now generate electricity in the evenings.

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.

Washington's largest new solar farm ready for operation.
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.

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.

Barefoot solar engineers are trained at the Barefoot College to install and maintain solar-powered systems.
Local manufacturers were trained in Danish solar power technology, including how to produce, operate, install and maintain solar panels. A new type of solar panel, based on locally available materials, was designed and 75 units were produced, installed and tested in the Tashkent Municipality.
"To date, we have provided 1,500 cubic metres of solar panels to rural medical centres, entrepreneurs and a natural reserve," said Shavkat Isamiddiniv, Director of ENCOM, a private company that produces solar panels.

Resilient solution for the health sector / Une solution résiliente pour le secteur de la santé

Category 5 storm Hurricane Maria made landfall on 18 September 2017 on the small island of Dominica. The storm left its entire population, 72,000 people, without electricity and water, and left up to 20,000 buildings, health clinics, schools, damaged or completely destroyed. Climate change has highly increased such events. The devastating consequences of the hurricane on the country's vital infrastructure urged Dominica’s prime minister, in a submission to the UN, to commit to transforming Dominica into the first climate resilient Small Island Developing State. Electricians without borders was called on by the government for its technical expertise, to assist.
A pilot solution was designed : to assess and retrofit vital public health infrastructure to be more resilient in disasters with “stand alone” photovoltaic kits. These use renewable energy to secure an “emergency pocket” of power needs for six health centers on the island. The pilot solution was deployed by December 2018, targeting health needs during disasters while also tackling climate change. The solution provides adaptation to its effects (easily removable solar panels), and mitigation (helping decrease the carbon footprint of healthcare and improve the island’s energy mix).
Maria, ouragan de catégorie 5, a touché la petite île de la Dominique le 18 septembre 2017. L'ensemble de sa population, soit 72 000 personnes, s’est retrouvée sans électricité ni eau. L'ouragan a endommagé et/ou provoqué la destruction complète de près de 20 000 bâtiments, dispensaires et établissements scolaires. Le changement climatique a considérablement augmenté la fréquence de tels événements. Les conséquences dévastatrices de l'ouragan sur les infrastructures essentielles du pays ont incité le Premier ministre de la Dominique, dans un document soumis aux Nations unies, à s'engager à faire de la Dominique le premier Petit État Insulaire en Développement résilient au changement climatique. L'ONG Électriciens sans frontières a été sollicitée par le gouvernement pour apporter son aide de par son expertise technique.
Une solution pilote a été conçue : évaluer et rééquiper les infrastructures de santé publique pour qu'elles soient plus résilientes en cas de catastrophe. Des panneaux solaires "autonomes" utilisant des énergies renouvelables ont été installés pour garantir les besoins en électricité de 6 centres de santé sur l'île. La solution pilote a été mise en place en décembre 2018 ciblant les besoins en cas de catastrophe tout en remédiant au changement climatique. Elle permet l’adaptation à ses effets avec des panneaux solaires facilement démontables et l’atténuation de ceux-ci en contribuant à diminuer l'empreinte carbone des soins de santé et à améliorer le mix énergétique de l'île.
