Waterpebble is a revolutionary device designed to take the effort out of saving water.
Water Pebble is a world’s first. Paul Priestman a director of design company Priestmangoode was inspired by a sign in a hotel bathroom to, “Please Use Water Sparingly” and he started developing the concept on his return home. The Waterpebble is unique in the way it works to help reduce water usage.
This clever device monitors water going down the drain when you shower. Memorizing your first shower and using it as a benchmark, Waterpebble then indicates, via a series of ‘traffic lights’ flashing gently from green through to red, when to finish showering. Each time you shower the Waterpebble automatically fractionally reduces your shower time helping you to save water without needing to think about it. Set it and forget it! The Waterpebble encourages you to use less water each time you shower.
Press the reset button. 3 lights will flash
Place in the shower near the plughole. Shower as normal. The lights will flash green, amber and red as Waterpebble memorises your shower. Then each time you shower, Waterpebble lights up to indicate:
Green – start , Amber – you’re halfway through, Red – time to stop
Every shower, your water usage is reduced a little. Waterpebble can be reset at any time. They claim the battery will last for around 4 to 6 months with average use. The battery cannot be replaced which we view as a downside however they do recycle the units if you send them back.

Save Heating and Cooling $$$!
The encapsulated fiberglass insulation is 16″ thick. Takes just seconds to install – just insert the insulation into the reflective aluminum shield and then position the stair cover over it. So easy to do it takes only minutes – and NO TOOLS REQUIRED!
The gap around your attic stairway is like an open window. In the cold winter your heat flows right out and cold air flows right in; and in the summer your air-conditioning flows right out and the heat flows right in!
SyncWave Systems has a very different design to harness the oceans waves in a highly efficient way. The Animation/Simulation featured below is for a preliminary version of the SyncWave Wave Energy Converter (WEC). The animation is extracted directly from a 6 degree of freedom nonlinear physical simulation of the WEC in waves as noted below.
Fuel cells hit the headlines this week. The big splash came thanks to CBS News’ 60 MINUTES and the heavy hyping of a stationary fuel cell developer, Bloom Energy, emerging from stealth-mode development. The Bloom Box will use stacks of solid oxide fuel cells to electrochemically turn natural gas into power, claiming to eliminate the pollution that comes with fuel combustion. We hope there is some substance behind the hype… time will tell.
GREEN is in its infancy and to date, there has been plenty of talk about the environment, but still, very few products are available at retail for concerned consumers to do their part…and, according to consumers, the environmental products currently stocked by retailers do not work as well as conventional ones. This is all about to change.
Enter Green Earth Technologies
Green Earth Technologies, a consumer goods manufacturer, produces “G”-Branded superior performing TOTALLY GREEN products made entirely from American Grown Base Oils that now puts the power of patent pending nanotechnology (doing more with less) and dehydrogenation into the hands of environmentally concerned consumers everywhere.
Ultimate Biodegradable (ASTM Standard’s highest available ranking) and environmentally safe, G-Brands consisting of G-OIL™, G-DISPOSOIL™, G-WASH™, G-GLASS™, G-SCENT™ G-WHEEL™, G-TIRE™ and G-TILE™ are diversified to cross categories within several market segments, including automotive performance & appearance chemicals, marine performance & appearance chemicals, household cleaning solutions and lawn & garden chemicals. Consumers can now choose to “do their part” without having to give up performance or value…SAVE the EARTH – SACRIFICE NOTHING!
Now available, Dimmable Fluorescent Floodlights thatare similar in size and light output to standard incandescent floodlights that save up to 75% in energy costs. These new energy efficient Dimmable Fluorescent Flood Lamps are also good for wet location use, and may be used in recessed cans, ceiling fixtures, track lights and outdoor fixtures.
They have and 8,000 hour average rate life and last up to eight times longer than incandescent flood lights. Dimmable from 100% to 20% for lighting preference and added energy savings. Another added benefit of Dimmable Fluorescent Flood Lamps is that they produce significantly less heat than incandescent Flood Lamps significantly reducing cooling costs during the summer months. If you are interested learning more or want to buy some see their site at AMConservation.
They represent the first step in the evolutionary change to Electric Vehicles to become main stream in the USA and abroad. ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations are manufactured by Coulomb Technologies and have the most advanced, feature-rich networked charging station capabilities available in the world. Combined with their ChargePoint Network Operating System (CPNOS), the ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations are the complete solution for a smart charging infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles with their ChargePoint Network.
ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations perform bi-directional energy metering via an embedded utility-grade electronic meter. The ability to precisely measure and report electricity use enables a sustainable, flexible business model that meets the needs of drivers, corporations, fleet operators, utility companies and municipalities. It has multiple flexible driver payment methods like “free” charging, pay-per-use, by subscription, and by kWh (where allowed).
According to MeetGreen’s 2008 white paper, “The Economy and the Environment: One Solution for Two Meeting and Event Industry Issues,” the average attendees produces 61 lbs of solid waste during a three-day conference – vs. 13.5 lbs during a three-day period at home (USEPA). The study further found that – at a 1,300-person, two-day conference – reducing handouts can save $2,000, 488 lbs of wood, 79 pounds of solid waste, 1 million BTUs of energy and 149 lbs of emissions (Neehah Paper.)
Virtual Totebag
As a result, 77% of meeting planners have reduced paper at their meetings according to 2008 M&C Research survey, with 16% planning to do so in the future. 80% of planners have reduced their paper waste by posting materials online via solutions like the “Virtual Totebag,” with 65% seeing cost savings as a result.
With the Virtual Totebag, tradeshow attendees can collect, store and share session content and exhibitor materials online via their mobile devices. Attendees simply text or email a unique mobile code to store exhibitor brochures, speaker presentations, videos and more online in their personal “virtual” totebags. Not only does the Virtual Totebag reduce paper waste at the show, it reduces the costs and waste of printing and shipping materials to the show! It is truly a win win for all involved.
If you upgraded windows, doors, hot water heater, insulation and even your roof in 2009 you may be eligible for a US Federal and possibly a state tax credit.
The US government is offering a federal tax credit of up to $1,500 on energy-efficient home upgrades through Dec. 31, 2016. But many are set to expire by Dec. 31, 2010; these include eligible insulation, roofs and windows and doors. Also check your local state for additional state tax rebates.
The encapsulated fiberglass insulation is 16″ thick. Takes just seconds to install – just insert the insulation into the reflective aluminum shield and then position the stair cover over it. So easy to do it takes only minutes – and 
The Battic© Door Attic Stair Cover is installed over thick, soft weatherstripping that is attached to the attic stairway frame (not the structural framing of the building or the attic floor). The Battic© Door sinks into the weatherstripping and embeds itself into it, effectively limiting air leakage between the conditioned house and the unconditioned attic.
The Battic© Door R-50 insulation kit (the highest R-Value of any kit available!) installs in seconds and restores the insulation removed to install your folding attic stairs! Or add your own insulation to your desired levels!
