Kiribati now has the largest Marine Protected Area in the world.

There are no pristine oceans left.

Where does the world’s energy supply come from?

A bike made from bamboo.

Ann Coulter doesn’t like electric cars.

  3. Two things:

    That bamboo bike is awesome!

    And electric cars don’t like Ann Coulter, either.

Tip of the Day

Fan Dancing

Noelle commented in regards to Umbra’s post on fans and air conditioners:

“Query about fans, Allie who always has the answer: I’m fan cooled in my house, I have those window numbers that do both intake and outtake. I leave them on the lowest level of outtake during the day to keep the air from getting stagnant in the house. It works really well, but Umbra says not to do it. Now I’m all conflicted, because stagnant air is like death, and those fans seem to be doing a great job during the day.

Oh and she’s right, I’ve got an exhaust fan in my roof, and it’s marvelous.”

I thought I was stumped.

One of the best ways to stay cool is not to let yourself get too hot to begin with.  But Umbra is right about the energy use.  But walking into a house full of hot air is going to totally make anyone lose their cool.  But the energy use. . .

Completely and totally stumped.  Then just before I fell asleep last night, I had an idea.
