How the First Earth Day Came About By Senator Gaylord Nelson , Founder of Earth Day What was the purpose of Earth Day? How did it start? These are the questions I am most frequently asked. Actually, the idea for Earth Day evolved over a period of seven years starting in 1962. For several years, it had been troubling me that the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of the country. Finally, in November 1962, an idea occurred to me that was, I thought, a virtual cinch to put the environment into the political 'limelight' once and for all. The idea was to persuade President Kennedy to give visibility to this issue by going on a national conservation tour. I flew to Wa...

I am working in INDIA's No.1 Solar cell producer that is IndoSolar Limited and my company has so much orders in upcoming years so we cann't say that solar energy is not for everyone. Before 5 to 10 years efficieny of solar cell was 10 to 12.5%...

There is no example that wind mills r running efficiently. On the other hand fly ash is also a very good construction material which saves the project cost. Production is also more compare to the other.

As there is shortage of cranes, they are not available when needed so there is an unwanted delay during work which is not at all needed.

Whenever you save energy, you not only save money, you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary contributor to global warming, and other pollutants. You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers have a real choice and the power to change their energy use on a revolutionary scale. The average American produces about 40,000 pounds of CO2 emissions per year. Together, we use nearly a million dollars worth of energy every minute, night a...
