In casa, con poco spazio, si può allestire una ciclofficina essenziale per poter intervenire sulla maggior parte dei componenti della bicicletta. Bastano un po' di attrezzi e una manciata di accessori. Cavalletto Un piccolo cavalletto per la casa può essere sufficiente, altrimenti bisognerà, per molte operazioni, ribaltare la bicicletta sottosopra poggiandola per terra. La bici con questo genere di cavalletto viene sorretta sulle forcelle per poter lavorare sulla trasmissione. Chiavi a brugola Dimensioni utili: 2 mm 2,5 mm 3 mm 4 mm 5 mm 6 mm Pompa In casa si può tenere una pompa più grande per un gonfiaggio più rapido della camera d'aria, ma l'ideale sarebbe disporre di una pompa con manometro.

Ernst Friedrich "Fritz" Schumacher (16 August 1911 – 4 September 1977) was an internationally influential economic thinker, statistician and economist in Britain, serving as Chief Economic Advisor to the UK National Coal Board for two decades.[1] His ideas became popularized in much of the English-speaking world during the 1970s. He is best known for his critique of Western economies and his proposals for human-scale, decentralized and appropriate technologies. According to The Times Literary Supplement, his 1973 book Small Is Beautiful: a study of economics as if people mattered is among the 100 most influential books published since World War II,[2] and was soon translated into many languages, bringing him international fame.
Schumacher's basic development theories have been summed up in the catch-phrases Intermediate Size and Intermediate Technology. Early life[edit] Schumacher was born in Bonn, Germany in 1911. His father was a professor of political economy. Economist[edit] Déchets : Bille en tête : Un nouveau continent de 3,43 millions de km2... - Dossier Bille en tête. Imaginez le tableau... 100 millions de tonnes de déchets, plus 30 mètres de profondeur par endroit, 3,43 millions de km²... Une décharge flottante, à ciel ouvert, 6 fois plus grande que la France qui se déplace au gré des vents, en plein milieu de l'océan Pacifique nord. Impressionnant ! Oui, on peut le dire. Dégueulasse, crade, aussi. Insupportable, inadmissible, également.
Et pourtant, d'après Greenpeace, cette masse infâme est composée à 80% de débris provenant des continents. Alléluia ! "Tous les courants mènent à l'océan" Eh non, ce n'est pas si simple... Depuis quand exactement ? Ce n'est pas moi, c'est l'autre ! Mais pourquoi se soucier d'une zone perdue au milieu de nulle part, située dans les eaux internationales, qui n'appartient à personne et donc n'intéresse finalement personne ?

Oil Spill Disaster on New Zealand Shoreline - Alan Taylor - In Focus. Nine days ago, a Liberian-flagged container ship called the Rena ran aground on Astrolabe Reef, 14 miles offshore from Tauranga Harbor on New Zealand's North Island. In addition to the 2,100 containers aboard, the Rena was carrying 1,700 tons of fuel oil and another 200 tons of diesel fuel. A cracked hull and rough seas have dislodged more than 80 containers and spilled some 300 tons of oil already, fouling Tauranga beaches and reportedly killing some 1,000 birds so far. Salvage teams are racing to offload as much remaining oil as possible while cleanup crews are hard at work, coping with New Zealand's worst environmental disaster in decades.

Make A Cheap &Easy Solar USB Charger With An Altoids Tin : TreeHugger - StumbleUpon. Photos by Joshua Zimmerman The craftster behind the very popular $3 solar-powered emergency radio is back with a new awesome project: a cheap solar battery charger with a USB plug. Zimmerman wrote, saying that he saw a lot of small solar powered chargers being talked about over Earth Day, but there was a big problem: "They're all quite nice, but also quite expensive. I don't think I've seen any for less than $60, and I've not seen one that really suits my style.
" So, he came up with his own, using one of our favorite reusable items -- the ever wonderful Altoids tin. In looking for the cheapest way to accomplish the task, Zimmerman found that he could build a USB solar charger for under $30 (or $10 if be buys parts in bulk, though it's not likely you'll be buying bulk solar cells and DC-to-USB converter circuits). Zimmerman states, "The central brain of our project is a DC to USB converter circuit.

Living Light Sculpture Reveals Air Quality of Seoul. Check out how a retro glass sculpture maps the city’s air quality ! In the center of Seoul ’s Peace Park , which is located across from the Korean World Cup Stadium, lies a very extraordinary sight: an outdoor glass canopy called the Living Light Sculpture. Created by Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin of The Living , and commissioned by the Korean Ministry of Environment, this amazing sculpture is more than just a fantastic piece of art. It actually projects up-to-date information about surrounding cities and their air quality. The glass skin on the sculpture is a map that covers 27 local neighborhoods, and every 15 minutes certain sections light up to tell you which city has the best and worst air quality.
The coolest thing about the sculpture is that you can send a text message of a certain area code to the Living Light Hotline, and then minutes later you’ll receive a reply back that tells you the area code’s air quality. digg.

Rhodia signe un contrat pour l'exploitation des Terres Rares à Madagascar. (Boursier.com) — Rhodia, membre du Groupe Solvay a signé un accord avec le groupe allemand Tantalus Rare Earths AG "portant sur une coopération technique", afin de développer un procédé d'extraction et de purification des Terres Rares, ces minéraux indispensables à la fabrication de nombreux produits électriques et électroniques, dans une mine située au Nord-Ouest de Madagascar.
Le potentiel d'oxydes de terres rares qu'il est possible d'extraire de cette mine est évaluée à 130 millions de tonnes, souligne Rhodia. Ces oxydes comporteraient par ailleurs "environ 20% de terres rares lourdes". Cette signature est une première étape vers un accord plus vaste pour un "approvisionnement exclusif à hauteur de 15.000 tonnes de terres rares par an". Rhodia n'en est pas à son premier coup d'essai dans le secteur des terres rares. Le groupe a déjà signé un accord en septembre 2011 avec China Rare Metals and Rare Earth Co., Ltd, filiale de Chinalco. S’il va à Rio (le cas Schmidheiny) PREMIÈRE PARTIE. Insupportable est un bien faible mot. Stephan Schmidheiny est l’héritier d’une famille suisse, parmi les plus riches. La transnationale Eternit était dans les souliers du Père Noël. Née en 1901, cette dernière fera fortune, immense fortune grâce à l’amiante (ici). 1901, c’est très proche de 1906, date à laquelle l’inspecteur du travail Denis Auribault écrit une note admirable (ici) sur la dangerosité de l’amiante.
À Condé-sur-Noireau (Calvados), dans ce qui deviendrait bien plus tard, et pour cause, la Vallée de la mort, il a constaté une véritable décimation chez les travailleurs d’une usine de tissage de l’amiante. Eternit a compris autre chose. Vous pensez bien qu’il n’est pas venu recevoir son prix. La chose paraîtra incroyable aux Bisounours de l’écologie officielle, mais Schmidheiny a été le bras droit de Maurice Strong dans l’organisation du premier Sommet de la Terre de Rio, en 1992. Bref.

Pollution rise 'worsens' South Asia's winter smog. 6 January 2012Last updated at 13:10 By Navin Singh Khadka Environment reporter, BBC News Experts say the smog problem is becoming increasingly serious A rapid rise in air pollution from fossil fuels and biomass burning has worsened winter smog and extended its duration in many parts of South Asia, scientists and officials have said.
In Bangladesh, India and Nepal the temperature has plummeted and clouds of fog and smoke hang in the sky blocking sunlight for several days. Normal lives have been affected with many flights diverted and suspended and trains delayed because of low visibility. Experts say they have noticed that the intensity of smog has grown in the Indo-Gangetic plains in the last few years, leading to increased impacts. "Since 1990 onwards, there has been increase in the number of [smog-affected] days in northern India," says BP Yadav, director of the Indian Meteorological Department. "It is not a linear trend showing an increase every year. Continue reading the main story. POISON ALIMENTATION CONSOMMATION ENVIRONNEMENT. From toxicity to life: arsenic proves to be a building block. LLNL's Jennifer Pett-Ridge, right, runs the NanoSIMS and analyzes some arsenic-grown cells from Mono Lake as NASA/USGS's Felisa Wolfe-Simon observes.
High Resolution Image LIVERMORE, Calif. - Arsenic -- an element that triggers death for most Earthly life forms -- is actually allowing for bacterium to thrive and reproduce. In a study that may prompt the rewriting of textbooks, a team of astrobiologists and chemists has found the first known living organism that can use arsenic in place of phosphorus in its major macromolecules. The new findings, published in the Dec. 2 issue of Science Express, could redefine origins of life research and alter the way we describe life as we know it. Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorous are the six basic building blocks of life on Earth. The new study by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and led by NASA and the U.S. NanoSIMS not only measures the elemental concentrations, but it also images them.
