Green Living – How to Do Your Part

by admin

We are finally realizing that the world has a limited amount of resources. That up until now we have not paid much attention to the world we live in. It is of major concern that we take any and all the necessary steps to change what we have been doing to our home planet “Earth”. The new name for this method of thinking is called Green Living. So new this is to the public that there are no well known places to learn how to go about living a greener life. Hopefully here we can start our make over to be the green people we need to become for the sake of our future and our children’s future. Up until now there have only been a few people here and there that even talked about the status of our home planet. I think its time for us to give them a hand because it impossible for them to do it all by themselves.

I was staring at approximately the 50 houses as I was walking up my street in sunny Southern California and it struck me, “Why wouldn’t every house have solar panels? And if they did, we would have an abundance of energy and be free of the tyranny that exists around our dependence of oil.

Once you understand how solar energy is harnessed, you will find it very easy to see the benefits of green solar energy. Thermal and Light are the two types of green solar energy that exist.

1) Thermal energy is considered “passive”. An example would be capturing solar energy from the materials and design of the building when it was constructed. Specifically, the building would be built to integrate south facing windows with materials that would capture and retain the heat, hence reducing your energy needs because your structure is more efficient. Another example would be using the thermal energy produced by the sun to heat water for solar hot water systems.
