Building your own renewable energy systems from recycled materials. Steward Community Woodland was born five years ago, when a group of us looking to set up a sustainable living and working woodland project bought and moved into Steward Wood on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon.

Building your own renewable energy systems from recycled materials

With a need for electrical power but no thoughts of having a connection to the grid, we looked into renewable ways of producing this. Using reclaimed parts from skips and recycling centres has meant that a lot of the systems we have used to produce power, especially in the early years, cost little or nothing to build. It makes so much sense, both financially and in terms of our environment, to Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle.

Keeping food fresh the old fashioned way

Korean designer Jihyun Ryou certainly believes that we can survive in this world without relying on them. Save Food From The Fridge is a project about traditional oral knowledge, which has been accumulated from experience and transmitted by mouth to mouth. Particularly focusing on the food preservation, it looks at a feasible way of bringing that knowledge into everyday life. Her ideas are definitely worth sharing. How an Aquaponics Biofilter Works. The word aquaponics may sound very technical, but the truth is that aquaponics and biofilters actually mimic the natural processes that happen in the wild.

How an Aquaponics Biofilter Works

Nature does not allow anything to go to waste. Everything is recycled and reused. For example, animal excreta become a source of food for plants, and the plants in turn provide food for animals. The most efficient systems are those that mimic nature as much as possible. Propagation Techniques by Plant Variety. Untitled. VertiCrop Processes 10,000 Plants Every 3 Days Using Vertical Hydroponic Farming. Vertical farming is one of the most innovative solutions for lowering the amount of energy, space, and water needed to grow food, but Valcent Products has taken the practice to a whole new level with their revolutionary VertiCrop technology.

By applying Henry Ford’s super-efficient assembly line concept to vertical hydroponic farming, the Vancouver-based firm can produce the same amount of produce on a standard sized residential lot that most farmers would be able to grow on a 16-acre plot. Their stacked, mechanized, produce-laden plastic trays are already a hot commodity, with orders coming in from every corner of the globe. Untitled.

Floating rafts or Deep Water Culture (DWC) is another AquaPonics technique, developed and promoted by the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI).UVI is one of the pioneers of AquaPonics. see the links page for more info on UVI. DWC uses tanks or ponds to grow plants in on floating rafts. Plants are grown in small pots filled with media that are inserted in holes in the rafts that keep them floatin on the water surface. The main advantage of this system is the ease of planning, sowing and harvesting of one particular fast growing crop, i.e. lettuce and herbs: very long "raceway" ponds are calculated so that the harvesting of one or more rafts coincides with the sowing of new ones.These raceways can be as long as 100 and 200 m.

Low Impact Development. Low impact development housing is housing we consider for The Highest Good because it is more cost effective, lasts longer, and is built from resources that are readily available.

Low Impact Development

Our goal is to operate as a think tank of sustainability and demonstrate the low-impact development of 7 different communal living mini-village models of 15-100 residences as examples and prototypes for self-sufficient and duplicable teacher/demonstration communities, villages and cities to be built around the world. Each village model will represent a different ecobuild methodology that incorporates food production, sustainable energy, and ultra-affordable and eco-friendly living. Vertical Garden meets Aquaponics. This idea combines two of my favorite urban food growing solutions – vertical gardening, and aquaponics.

Aquaponics and other 'liberty technologies' the focus of the Health Ranger on the Alex Jones Show this Thursday

In late 2013 / early 2014, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger), editor of Natural News, transitioned from outspoken activist to environmental scientist. He now runs the Natural News Forensic Food Lab, conducting world-class food science research and publishing scientific papers on food contaminants and nutritional analytics. Through scientific investigation powered by university-level analytical instrumentation, Adams found that, much like the majority of the population, he had been suffering over the past several years from chronic exposure to cumulative toxic elements found in the food supply, including in many organics and "superfoods.
