Green Options

Today’s post is by Sam Parry, EDF’s Director of Online Membership and Activism.

Hats say a lot. They can show what we do for a living, what teams we root for, even what part of the country we live in.

Today, your hat can make another statement: Express your support of a cap on carbon pollution by showing EDF your carbon cap.

Please submit your photo today. We’ll feature Action Network favorites in our upcoming Earth Day video.

With climate legislation moving in the House, there is no better time to show your full support of a cap on carbon pollution.

It’s easy and fun to take part. Here’s all you need to do:

An Australian scientist has developed a new method of manufacturing solar cells using nothing more than some nail polish remover, a pizza oven and a standard inkjet printer.

The iJET technique is so easy and cheap to carry out that it could revolutionize access to solar technology in the developing world.

In a recent radio interview (audio), Nicole Kuepper, a 23 year-old PhD student at the University of New South Wales, explained the process.

Cool looking contraption, huh? What you’re looking at is Finavera Renewables’ latest project in scalable wave power technology. If you think that picture is pretty cool, you’ll enjoy the animation:

I forgot how much fun it is to make a collage but after seeing this collage by Justyn Hegreberg, I can’t wait to dive in!

Justyn’s work is so interesting and original because he uses recycled photographs (mostly doubles and blurry snapshots collected from Craigslist) and a paper shredder to create his signature look.

I love this idea to use a paper shredder to cut the paper, just think of the possibilities!
