Solar powered cell phones
Somewhere in my apartment there is a small (approximately 2x6 inches) portable solar cell gathering dust. We haven't been able to use it because our apartment receives too little direct sunlight. When I can, I will take it to my office and place it in a window that receives all the sunlight a solar cell could wish for. When he can, my husband will attach it to his bag and collect solar power as he travels. And we will use the resulting energy collected to power our cell phones and other… Continue

Renting solar equipment in rural Brazil

The power for the house grid comes from solar stickers my husband plastered the roof of our apartment building with a few years ago, but the flowerpot/lamp… Continue

Crabs
Tonight I brought home a surprise ingredient for the meal my husband is assembling - fresh crab meat!

And it's all thanks to the efforts of some diligent high school students who discovered a method to green the bay.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
