Wind Energy
Responsibly harvesting power from wind Humans have been harnessing wind power for more then two millennia and wind turbines are generally considered to be among the most sustainable methods of generating electricity. In addition to electricity generation, wind turbines have long been used to move water...

Electric Vehicles
Considered to be a more sustainable method of transport powered by electricity rather than fossil fuel Electrically powered vehicles are becoming more affordable and efficient, especially as more sustainable ways to produce electricity are being developed and become more available.

Solar Energy
Using sunlight for generating energy ### Photovoltaic Solar Panels The most common type of solar panel are photovoltaic solar cells, or PVs, which convert sunlight directly into electricity. Photovoltaic solar cells range in efficiency from about 15% to 30% efficiency.  ###...

Energy
Ethically sustainable sources of energy for human use For millennia societies have relied on animals and sometimes other humans, to provide energy for transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing — and burned wood for heat-energy. In the last 150 years humans have used exponentially increasing amounts...

The Humanure Handbook
Compost toilets can provide a sanitation solution when water or electricity are not available, or when you simply want to make more compost or less environmental pollution. Now in its 4th edition, not only does the book address what to do with human manure, but it is also a priceless manual for anyone...

Geothermal Energy
Using the heat from the Earth for energy Geothermal energy is collected by circulating water through rock or pipes underground, bringing heat to the surface that can be used to heat buildings and generate electricity. A geothermal heat pump can extract enough heat from shallow ground in most parts of...

Earthship Biotecture
Earthship is a type of house built with natural and recycled materials with energy conservation in mind. It is designed to produce water, electricity and food for its own use. Earthship basic design principles take advantage of the existing natural phenomena of the earth, building with natural and re-purposed...

Permaculture at Tikkum
Permaculture at Tikkun: A story of radical transformation Fourteen years ago, the 7.5 acres at Tikkun was scrubby, semi-arid land with sparse trees, shrubs and cactus. There were no public services or electricity. Like millions of Mexican households, there was no reliable access to water. In the...

Energy Storage
Sustainable methods of storing energy over time Many sustainable energy sources produce according to natural rhythms such as sunlight, wind, and precipitation. These cycles don't necessarily coincide with the times that humans need energy. Therefore, energy storage is an essential part of most sustainable...
