Foraging as an Act of Resistance with Linda Black Elk!

  Since the dawn of time, mankind has been enjoying the benefits of our great star, the Sun. It has been producing energy for billions of years, but it was only recently that man has discovered how to use its power for higher purposes than drying clothes. Now we are able to convert solar into other forms of energy, such as heat and electricity, using solar panels.

Solar or photovoltaic panels are used to convert the light from the sun into electric energy, which can be used to power a wide variety of applications. Since the light of the sun is a renewable energy source, we can perpetually harness it using solar panels. The solar energy can be mainly used for two purposes: to generate heat or generate electricity; so other than what solar panels evidently provide, what other advantages are we looking at?

By now, you are probably familiar with the concept of solar panels, and how you can benefit from them and what they do exactly. But imagine increasing the power you get from solar panels..

  Can solar energy power a vehicle? The answer is “yes”, but because nothing is free in life, you will have to invest in some solar panels which (in time) will offer you the possibility of enjoying free rides. You will forget about visiting gas stations and you will not pay a single cent for fuel.

Since every responsible citizen is looking to “go green” these days, more and more people are thinking about means to protect the environment and lead a better life, protecting to the natural resources that nature has to offer. One of these wonders is the sun, which is not only useful at lighting and heating up the environment; its energy can also be converted into electricity thanks to the existence of solar panels. A couple of years ago, not everyone was sure what solar panels were all about, and the ones that did know would never of owning them for their…

Many claim that buying solar panels is expensive, but what they forget is that they pay so much more for their current electricity bills. And, in some cases, installing green energy systems is not even that expensive as many believe. What you have to do is to do a little research and find companies that offer green energy services in your area.

Just like homeowners immensely enjoy the benefits that solar energy can provide for their houses, your business can also gain a lot from adopting such a system. While there are disadvantages to harvesting the energy provided by the sun, they are outnumbered by the advantages. Strong points Why should your business opt for going solar?

Solar energy does not only reduce your electricity bills, but also protects the planet. For every appliance you have in your house, for every phone call you make or receive, you consume electricity. That electricity is provided by this planet we inhabit and, as you know, our numbers are increasing as we speak.

Many of today’s appliances use power even when turned off. Finding and dealing with these “energy vampires” is a quick and simple way to save on your electric bill.

Among the greatest assumptions about solar power is that it’s always on the precipice of a big improvement in technology. This is essentially the symptom of pageview driven news, which makes it’s money on hyped stories and information to bring more readers in, but it won’t compel the prospective solar client to buy a solar array. “I’ll just hold off for the production of improved products,” the logic naturally follows.

A few large areas of our planet are covered today by solar panels and buildings where solar energy is harvested and distributed towards individuals and corporate consumers. Unfortunately, there are locations where green energy providers cannot be found and in consequence, those that want to start using this form of green energy have to start making proper adjustments by themselves, meaning to create their own solar panels and also to place them on the roof of their house and make the necessary changes by themselves.  

One of the biggest polluters is, surprisingly, lawn equipment (mowers, trimmers, blowers, edgers, chippers, clippers, etc). Most lawn equipment uses 2 stroke engines (that’s where you have to mix gas and oil). The US Government estimates that 17 million gallons are spilled per year, trying to fill lawn equipment tanks.
