For example, using high-efficiency boilers and cooling water pumps can reduce water use throughout manufacturing. Using specialty chemicals in laundry detergents can also minimize water and soil pollution. It plays a significant role in keeping facilities clean and cooling materials and equipment.

Passive solar heating is a fancy term for something human societies have been doing for ages: designing their dwellings so they can heat and cool naturally with the rising and falling of the sun. The post Four Ways to Harness the Power of the Sun appeared first on The Environmental Blog. Use Passive Solar Heating. Composting.

You can clean them then fill them with soil. You need to get professional cooling and heating contractors to inspect these systems as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Burning them is also not a good idea because they will only end up emitting a foul smell in the air polluting the environment in the process.

Older homes often still include these spaces: cool areas where perishable items can be stored at low temperature. But over the 20th Century, this concept of a walk-in pantry was lost, with most modern homes having little or no provision for cool food storage.

The green roof growing media (soil for the green roof plants) is a blend of different mineral components with an organic content of typically less that 15%. See blog post from 2014. Nature is (literally) so cool. Roof warranties typically don't cover any sort of mechanical impact and they are -again- worthless. Happy New Year!

What a cool way to show off your company name and commitment to sustainability! To support soil health and ensure only non-toxic compounds are going into the ground, opt for organic mulch and non-synthetic fertilizers. There are even pencils that can be planted to grow flowers, herbs and vegetables.

Also,the composting process averts methane emissions that cause global warming, and it converts organic material into valuable fertilizer that can be used to enrich poor soil and improve plant growth. Besides, composting also benefits restaurants and farmlands by lowering their waste hauling and disposal cost.

Servers in data centers need a cool environment, which demands energy. Also, although computers need a cool environment to run, make sure to not keep rooms too cold, which would waste unnecessary power. Effects include erosion, sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, plus contamination of soil, groundwater, and service water.

And they’re the pollinators and soil manufacturers. Slime moulds are one example of nature being very cool. That doesn’t happen any more. People might think ‘so what – fewer creepy-crawlies is a good thing. But it’s the base of the food chain, that everything else depends on. If we can’t live with insects, we’re in serious trouble.
