"Reading this, your body at rest is emitting about 100 watts into the environment. If you're sitting in an open plan office, count the number of surrounding colleagues and you don't need to be a maths genius to appreciate the possibilities of tapping into all that wasted energy. Instead it could provide a renewable energy source to power office lighting or laptops - and it may be possible ... read full post picked by Jetka 10 months ago

Meet the standard British electrical socket; actually designed with an on/off switch. Many electrical appliances draw electricity even when they’re turned off. Here’s the euro solution: Every electrical socket in my flat here in the UK has an on/off switch. Imagine how much energy we could save if we cut off the electricity to every socket not in use. This is cutting down on wasted ene... read full post picked by pitim 1 year ago
