Unique Wind Powered Dry Toilet Installation Does Not Require Water to Work
A sanitary installation which does not require either water, or evacuation to work.
Not only the water is saved, but this system is completely isolated from the environment and can’t contaminate the groundwater.
The excrements are dried up in the conveyor and the urine as well as the humidity evaporate into the atmosphere. The system was designed to handle normal amounts of urine. In fact it assists with the removal of odors due to the additional ventilation it causes because of evaporation. The excrements dry by being transformed into a kind of compost and represent between 5 and 10 % of their initial mass. If more voluminous objects such as cans of drink, layers or other objects are accidentally dropped into the tank, the system will not be blocked; nonetheless, it is recommended that such objects not be added to the system.
The system is manufactured in the Collectivity of St. Martin in the French West Indies and uses a natural biological process to transform the waste into a kind of dehydrated and odourless compost. For more information, see the schematic just below and visit the product website (or click on the banner above).

State And Local Leaders Set Climate Goals, But Can We Meet Them?
State And Local Leaders Set Climate Goals, But Can We Meet Them?
With the federal government's withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, state and local governments in North Carolina have set their own ambitious goals for addressing climate change. Now, they're puzzling over how to carry out the big changes needed to reach those goals - such as switching to electric vehicles and shifting to more renewable energy.
Duke's Energy Policy: The Plan, Criticism, and Future of Energy in North Carolina
WRAL-TV ON THE RECORD, January 25, 2020 / Focused on an issue that affects every single North Carolinian, energy. How we get it, how we pay for it and how reliable it will be in the future. Duke Energy recently announced a new climate strategy. Among our guests are Vice President of Duke's Energy Policy, Diane Denton, to discuss the plan, the criticism and the future of energy in North Carolina. Followed by Southern Environmental Law Center attorney Gudrun Thompson and Dr. Drew Shindell (Climate Scientist, Duke University) who reinforce the stance that Duke Energy needs to stop building fracked ("natural") gas power plants and the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Dr. Shindell makes the case that solar paired with battery storage is environmentally and economically better than gas.
Careful Measurement of Environmental Trends and Progress Provides a Foundation for Effective Policymaking
Welcome
Careful measurement of environmental trends and progress provides a foundation for effective policymaking. The 2018 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 180 countries on 24 performance indicators across ten issue categories covering environmental health and ecosystem vitality. These metrics provide a gauge at a national scale of how close countries are to established environmental policy goals.

U.S. Climate Report Warns of Damaged Environment and Shrinking Economy
Want climate news in your inbox? Sign up here for Climate Fwd: , our email newsletter. WASHINGTON - A major scientific report issued by 13 federal agencies on Friday presents the starkest warnings to date of the consequences of climate change for the United States, predicting that if significant steps are not taken to rein in global warming, the damage will knock as much as 10 percent off the size of the American economy by century's end.
New Aluminum Batteries are Corrosion Resistant, Cheap and Hold a Lot of Renewable Energy
New Aluminum Batteries are Corrosion Resistant, Cheap and Hold a Lot of Renewable Energy
In energy production, energy transition is dependent on technologies that boast cheap and temporary storage of renewable energy. Researchers have found that aluminum batteries are one of the most promising candidates to fill this need because they are made from cheap and abundant raw materials and can hold a good amount of renewable energy.
Windmills as Wide as Jumbo Jets Are Making Clean Energy Mainstream
How Windmills as Wide as Jumbo Jets Are Making Clean Energy Mainstream
OSTERILD, Denmark - At the northern end of Denmark's Jutland peninsula, the wind blows so hard that rows of trees grow in one direction, like gnarled flags. The relentless weather over this long strip of farmland, bogs and mud flats - and the real-world laboratory it provides - has given the country a leading role in transforming wind power into a viable source of clean energy.
NASA Just Made a Stunning Discovery About How Fracking Fuels Global Warming
NASA just made a stunning discovery about how fracking fuels global warming
A new NASA study is one final nail in the coffin of the myth that natural gas is a climate solution, or a "bridge" from the dirtiest fossil fuels to low-carbon fuels like solar and wind.

Bill McKibben: Winning Slowly Is the Same as Losing
If we don't win very quickly on climate change, then we will never win. That's the core truth about global warming. It's what makes it different from every other problem our political systems have faced.

Rethinking Humans' Relationship to Nature
Is culture missing from conservation? Scientists take cues from indigenous peoples.
When you hear the word "ecosystem," what do you imagine? Maybe you picture a grizzly bear pawing at salmon breaching a frigid stream, or a kaleidoscopic seascape of fish and coral. But you may have missed one critical element of the natural world: humans.
This Bodes Badly....
Fossil fuel emissions will reach an all-time high in 2017, scientists say - dashing hopes of progress
Global carbon dioxide emissions are projected to rise again in 2017, climate scientists reported Monday, a troubling development for the environment and a major disappointment for those who had hoped emissions of the climate change-causing gas had at last peaked.
