STATIC! project’s whimsical energy-saving devices - Engadget - www.engadget.com
STATIC! project’s whimsical energy-saving devices - Engadget - www.engadget.com: "Maybe it’s the long winters, the presence of so many frustrated Ikea designers or the ready availability of so much Absolut, but there’s definitely something that makes the researchers at STATIC! — a group at the Interactive Institute in Stockholm devoted to designing energy-efficient products — more creative than the average alt-energy workshop. One project, the Flower Lamp (pictured at right), changes shape based on household energy consumption (presumably it’s triggered by ambient energy, rather than using extra juice to morph). Another lamp is heat sensitive, with its shape changing based on the heat of its light bulb (we hope it doesn’t melt if you pop in a flood). Our favorite project, though, has to be the one they call “Erratic Objects.” The idea is that your gear will penalize you for using too much energy — one example is the erratic radio, which will start losing signals if it detects too much energy usage in the room. Sure, no one will ever make one of these, but wouldn’t it be great to give one to your favorite clueless energy hog and watch him try to figure out what’s going on?

DEFRA Helps Raise The Roof On YHA's First Green Youth Hostel
DEFRA Helps Raise The Roof On YHA's First Green Youth Hostel: "The UK's first 'Eco-friendly' Youth Hostel opens for business today (10 March 2005) at Lockton, near Pickering, North Yorkshire.
Funding from Defra's Rural Enterprise Scheme (RES) has helped the Youth Hostels Association (YHA) refurbish its Lockton hostel and build in unique environmentally friendly features to create its showcase Green Beacon Youth Hostel.
Wherever possible the YHA has added sustainable features to help minimise the environmental impact of tourists travelling to enjoy the stunning North Yorkshire scenery.
Among the new features are showers heated by solar panels on the hostel roof, dry compost toilet and a system which harvests rainwater and other 'grey' water to use to flush toilets.
The building is insulated using sheep's wool and the new extension also has a living Sedum roof, the foliage of which will also provide a habitat for local wildlife as well as adding extra insulation."

Let's Think "Environmentally Friendly" - The Tripod - OLExclusives
Let's Think "Environmentally Friendly" - The Tripod - OLExclusives: "UVM has made great steps to build an 'environmentally friendly' campus. In the cafeterias, there are three bins: one for garbage, one for cans and bottles, and one for compost. Garbage cans around campus are for the most part accompanied by a recycling bin to encourage students to sort their garbage. There are recycling bins in the upperclassmen dorm rooms and 'Turn Off the Lights' stickers above many of the light switches. Such procedures are subtle but effective ways to getting students in the habit of being more environmentally aware."
