Eco Irons

If you are as good as I am at ironing then you know you just hate this chore. It’s not that I’m not connected with my inner domesticated side, it’s just that I’m really bad at it. I takes me between 15-30 minutes to iron out a shirt and let me confess that even then it will not be a perfect press.

Under normal circumstances I’d tell myself so what if you can’t iron well and it’s okay to be lousy at it but thinking it through that’s not exactly true. Gone are the days when we used coal, gas ...

When rain is not rain

Honestly not quite sure what came over me today but the rainy weather got me all nostalgic. I remember when I was a child, I loved the rain. I loved to make those quick dashes to the car or that little walk under drizzles. It was fun and it was comforting. I know I should be using an umbrella in the rain but I hardly ever do. In fact quite the opposite, I’ll use it when it’s the sun is blazing hot. The only real concern from playing in the rain was catching a cold, but these days a cold is the least of your concerns.

PooPooPaper

The fight for eco-sustainability and eco-friendliness has always been an uphill battle, surviving the general public’s destructive ignorance through the innovation and resourcefulness of our green warriors. Now throughout this battle for the good of the green, many ideas -some neat  like oyster shell recycling, some interesting like pensioners who live with bare minimum carbon footprints and some noble but questionable such as the sustainable sanitary pads have been introduced.

Yet I think what I’m about to introduce is by ...

Iceless Skating

Alright so it’s just entering the third week of November and already I’m dreaming of Christmas. The heart warming family gathering, the scrumptious food, the anticipation for happy faces as they open my presents, the warmth of delicious hot cocoa and yummy roasted chestnuts, the sounds of children’s laughter as they play out in the snow...oh I’m so pining for Christmas.

But you know, when I think of Christmas, I don’t just picture the above or Old St ...

Recycling Tyres

Honestly to be really good at being kind to the environment we have to reduce our use and make of products. But since it’s hardly feasible to say stop producing food or curb our desire to be fashionable (a tad conflicting I’m sure but it’s a personal choice in life) we compromise by doing our best to reduce waste, reuse products and recycle what we can into avoid that huge pile up at the landfills.

So there ...

Fireflies

Nature is a lot of things, it’s wild, it’s unique, it’s beautiful but it is not ours to own. The mere sight of her or just the thought floods us with emotions, inspires us in arts and evoke our senses like never before. Yet, many a time, people get a little too greedy and try to capture nature for their own self-conceited purpose.  That unfortunately never works out well because nature is never nature if it’s will is no longer its own and soon after you’ll find nature dies or at least fades its ...

Fireworks, the science of pyrotechnics

It really does not matter where in the world you are because whether it’s New Year’s Eve in Gothenburg , Sweden, the Olympics in Beijing, China, the 4th of July in the good old USA or even just Monday Night Raw at WWE - events, festivities and celebrations are always greeted with a dazzling display of illuminations to decorate the night sky in an array of different colours.

More popularly known as fireworks, these astounding and colourful illuminations are a breathtaking sight to behold and are to many the ...

HVAC Systems

Highly technical and education information is almost always boring and surely just about only 60% comprehensible. It’s like a prerequisite of some sort in order for it to be deemed intellectual in quality, yet it’s all undeniably precious useful knowledge.
 
Let’s just take for example the HVAC system. Sounds complicated and therefore intriguingly intellectual ...

Recycling Oyster Shells

Oysters are a prized delicacy all across the globe. The demand for it makes oyster farming and wild oyster harvesting a lucrative industry that many traders/businessmen indulge in. Now when the harvest of wild oysters is not done well (perhaps in the sense of non-selective harvest or non marine ecology preserving harvest methods employed) and the oyster farms employs the use of chemicals in raising the shellfish, it gives rise to the concerns over the sustainability of it all.

But whilst those concerns are obvious and quite well known, the link between oysters and eco-sustainability doesn’t ...

Let's meet half way

Mankind are a strange lot. It seems such a quirk of fate that we can be both the makers and breakers of civilization itself as we take to the world’s stage playing the various and conflicting roles of the guardians, inventors and exploiters of it. Man has long prided himself to be the superior beings of God’s green earth. We are:
the inventors of man-made breakthroughs and mesmerising wonders (think technology, medicine, landscaping etc) The guardians of all other living creature great and small that shares our world (self-proclaimed/assumed role?) The ...
