Well, parenthood came out of the blue. Became a proud father of a six week early, 2.2kg, 46cm small boy this April. This made the article-hunting in April somewhat low-prio.

Anyway, here’s the April 2008 list of interesting articles.

PREFAB FRIDAY- PLUS HOUSE in Sweden

Harnessing river whirlpools puts energy on tap (subscribtion required)
Ontario Scores 400 Megawatts of Solar Power

Heh… that’s about it I’m afraid.

Bet before you leave, please take the time to visit the FUND THIS PRODUCT- Lifestraw Family water filters for Mumbai site. Read about it, think about it and perhaps… donate?
These products are very similar to the ones in the Swedish Army survival kits and they work excellent for single users. The nice thing about this version is that it is capable of cleaning water for a family, not only a solitary user.

Bye bye for now.

EcoDump #2, this time severely late due to Life™. I was wondering whether I should combine the March and April post, but the number of interesting articles had me voting against myself on the matter.

So, the March 2008 dump och Eco-related articles for you pleasure after the jump.

And, of course, the “Misc” links i am having some trouble deciding where they belong:

I think that’s about it for March-08.

EcoDump Feb08

Well. Since there’s happening so much on the eco-front, I decided to–sort of–dump some of the interesting “eco” links I’ve read during the month. This would be the first and I will try to do one at a monthly basis.

Expect no more than a somewhat categorized list of links.

So, what do we have this month then?

One new-found site that does an awesome job of summarizing the eco blogosphere and that I recommend is GreenOptions.com.

Our neighbors to the east, Russia, seems to be on the eco-friendly-really-tall-building pills with their Gazprom Tower and Russia Tower. Both very tall and in some way considered green.

We also have some rain-power and some advances in solar-power and a promising attempt to copy photosynthesis while at it. And of course a boat powered by the very waves it’s riding.

Also, don’t forget about Earth Hour at March 29th.
