Global plant conservation. Conservation activities are ongoing all around the world.
We could never cover them all, but with your help we can find and communicate some of the most relevant, interesting and critical. So wherever you are in the world, please contact us. The problems facing biodiversity around the world are similar. An expanding population and the associated increases in agriculture, industry and urbanisation are stretching the planet's natural resources to breaking point. Forests fall and are replaced with crops or cattle, while mountains and moors become deep mines. There is a desperate need for global plant conservation.

Thermal conductivity is a material property describing the ability to conduct heat. "the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness of a material - in a direction normal to a surface of unit area - due to a unit temperature gradient under steady state conditions" Thermal conductivity units is W/(m K) in the SI system and Btu/(hr ft °F) in the Imperial system. Thermal conductivity for common materials and products: What is conductive heat transfer? Example - Conductive Heat Transfer through an Aluminum Pot versus a Stainless Steel Pot The conductive heat transfer through a pot wall can be calculated as q / A = k dT / s (1) where Tag Search.

Materials used for insulation, on the other hand, can be hazardous to nature. So, why don’t you grow mushroom in your walls? In US insulation industry will grow to be a 9.8 billion dollars market by 2020. At the moment insulation materials made of fiberglass dominates the market with a 70% share.

I had an exchange with kentauros in another thread (Energy/Env.
Forum) about apt. gardens that got me wondering about that. Maybe there are even books on this subject...sort of a niche of gardens that few get to see since many are way up in the sky. Anyway, hope to see some pics of inspirational apartment garden projects. Instead of square foot gardening, maybe we need to have some 8' X 10' apartment balcony garden books. Would love to see the transformation (both vegetable and decorative types) within such a limited space.I think space and weight restrictions might make a good argument in favor of using the green wall technique and containers (like from ELT Living Walls / ) depending on the growing medium used. Our empty panels weigh 5lbs and the planted panels range from 35-45 lbs (13 to 16lbs per sq ft) depending on the type of growth medium used. And for small plants another type of vertical container: / All Kinds of Railing & Fence Planters: Teak Planter Boxes: cont'd Answer: Ellen.
Mudbrick. New unlaid mudbricks in the Jordan River West Bank (2011) Mudbrick was used for the construction of Sumerianziggurats—some of the world's largest and oldest constructions.
Choqa Zanbil, a 13th-century BC ziggurat in Iran, is similarly constructed from clay bricks combined with burnt bricks.[1] A mudbrick is a brick, made of a mixture of loam, mud, sand and water mixed with a binding material such as rice husks or straw; also known by its Spanish name adobe. Brickmakers use a stiff mixture and let them dry in the sun for 25 days. [citation needed] In warm regions with very little timber available to fuel a kiln, bricks were generally sun dried. Banco[edit] The Great Mosque of Djenné is a well-known Mosque located in Djenné, Mali, and the largest mudbrick structure in the world.
The Great Mosque of Djenné, in central Mali, is the world's largest mudbrick structure.
