We want to clean up the battery industry. We are proud to offer superior batteries at a better price, along with the earthCell mailer for super-convenient recycling through us. Zero waste. Better batteries. Less money. With your help in getting started, earthCell will transform the battery industry, for good. (N.B. Every year in the US, we throw away about 3 billion batteries. Battery waste has been piling up in America’s landfills for over a hundred years.

This pollution can be entirely avoided by using earthCell batteries. earthCell batteries are a new type of battery technology called low self-discharge nickel metal hydride (LSD NiMH). They will last longer than almost any battery you've ever used. When we receive the batteries, we can revitalize them with our specialized infrastructure hundreds of times. EarthCell batteries significantly outperform big-brand alkaline batteries. *Comparison is to Duracell Coppertop (TM) and Energizer Max (TM) alkaline batteries. Global Village Construction Set by Marcin Jakubowski. Open Source Ecology is a network of farmers, engineers, and supporters building the Global Village Construction Set - a modular, DIY, low-cost, open source, high-performance platform that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.

The aim of the GVCS is to lower the barriers to entry into farming, building, and manufacturing. Its a life-size lego set that can create entire economies, whether in rural Missouri, where the project was founded, or in the developing world. So Far we’ve prototyped 8 of the 50 Machines and we’ve been expanding rapidly. We are 100% crowd-funded. We have 400 True Fans that support our work monthly. Please watch these videos if you are new to the project: What Makes the Global Village Construction Set so special? Why should I help fund this project? The library of instructional material that we produce will make replication a straightforward task. Absolutely! ZOTLÖTERER - worldwide first Gravitation Water Vortex Power Plant.
