Plastic2oil - Converting Plastic to Oil The R Project for Statistical Computing The Plastic Bank - Harvesting Waste Plastic to Reduce Poverty Thank you for helping us reach our goal. Our first campaign is over but another one will be coming soon. Please go to to join the Social Plastic movement. We are Leading the Social Plastic Movement! When we reveal value in plastic, it becomes too valuable to throw away and too valuable to leave sitting on a beach or in the ocean. Social Plastic is any plastic harvested by the poor and/or removed from an ocean, beach, or waterways. We are proudly leading the Social Plastic movement and we invite you to join the movement with your contributions. Our Solution to Reduce Poverty & Waste Plastic World Wide The Plastic Bank is setting up plastic repurposing centers around the world, where there’s an abundance of both waste plastic and poverty. We are helping people ascend from poverty by rewarding them for removing plastic waste from the land, oceans and waterways. Did We Mention We Can Recycle ANY Kind of Mixed Plastic You are a Big Part of the Solution Simply put.
Wireless Geographic Logging Engine - Plotting WiFi on Maps news: Congrats to user 'fenebrae', our 150,000th user! Netstumble proud! Users make this whole thing possible -bobzilla Come find us at BSides SF security conference at DNA Lounge today and tommorow, then at Trustycon on Thursday! WiGLE on android has been updated, fixes the OpenStreetMaps issue (they blocked the library we were using, so we're now serving the map tiles ourselves). Congrats to user 'jmaslak' who got the 120 millionth network on January 12th. We're doing some sprucing up: the web maps have been converted to Google Maps v3 (the older version is going away soon). twelve (12) years ago today on a Friday in September of 2001, bobzilla released a grain of sand called WiGLE.net into the intertubes. this bright core, fed on networks and kittens, has gathered over a hundred million nacreous network layers from over two billion observations you all have sent our way over the last .6 score years, and become a massive mappy/blinky perl! -uhtu Older Articles
Treehugger - From trash to treasure: Could non-recycled plastic be turned into a low-carbon fuel? As part of our efforts to diversify our energy sources, it's great to see the surge in interest and development of renewable energies such as solar and wind power, and innovations in tidal and wave power, but to really be able to reduce our use of fossil fuels, we might need to also explore some of our other options, such as using materials extracted from our waste streams as fuel. One emerging technology is working toward converting some of the non-marketable post-consumer plastics into a solid low-carbon fuel. While recycling of some plastics back into other materials makes sense for closing the loop on plastics a bit, until we can divert all recyclables from the waste stream, using some of it as an alternative fuel may be yet another way we can diversify our energy sources. "Although recycling rates have increased over the last few decades, more than 50% of our waste still ends up in landfills.
Jungfraujoch, Suiza: Centenario de un sueño sobre raíles en Espíritu Viajero, magazine de viajes online El Jungfraubahn, “tren rojo”, subiendo hacia la estación Jungfraujoch Se han cumplido 100 años (1 agosto) de una gesta ferroviaria: Jungfraujoch, la estación más alta de Europa, situada a 3.454 metros de altitud. Y como en Suiza la vida, más que sobre ruedas, va sobre raíles, éstos son capaces de llevarnos hasta allí intercambiando trenes desde los mismísimos aeropuertos de Ginebra o Zurich. El sueño del Jungfraujoch, en una zona declarada en 2001 Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, empezó a gestarse en la cabeza de un visionario empresario textil suizo, Aldolf Guyer-Zeller, a raíz de una excursión realizada en 1893 a la región de la Jungfrau. Guyer-Zeller quedó tan impresionado por el lugar, hasta entonces frecuentado casi exclusivamente por avezados alpinistas, que se propuso llevar hasta su cima a cualquier mortal a través de un tren.

Instructables - Plastic Bottle Mosquito Trap Hello dear friends! As some of my followers already know, I live in Bologna (Italy), in the heart of Po river Valley. This area is known as the wettest one of Italy. This is due to terrain, level (a lot of areas are UNDER sea level) and weather. These factors result in very hot temperatures in summer, very cold ones in winter, an incredibly thick fog but, mostly, giant and aggressive mosquitoes. There is a city, Comacchio (only 55 miles from Bologna), that is known as the "Mosquitoes Town". Obviously is nothing tropical, but it's very annoying! It's really difficult to enjoy summer evenings without using pesticides, sprays or other stinky poisons. While mosquitoes are useful for the ecosystem (did you know that mosquitoes are the main cocoa plants pollinators? In this Instructable, I want to show you an all natural and potentially free way to create an efficent mosquito trap with little more than a plastic bottle! Why potentially free? Ready? Let's start with our shopping list.
Aventuras de un dominguero: ALPES 2012 | 11. Jungfraujoch, Top of Europe Miércoles 8 de Agosto. Llevábamos 10 días por los Alpes disfrutando de parajes increíbles y este, nuestro último día, no iba a ser menos. Aunque el día anterior el clima no estuvo del todo bien, haciendo caso a las predicciones metereológicas nos arriesgamos y compramos los billetes para el Jungfraubahn, el ferrocarril de montaña que sube, atravesando el corazón del Monte Eiger, a la estación de tren más alta de Europa, a 3.454 metros de altura. Jungfraubahn. El día amaneció perfecto, así que pese al madrugón para coger el tren, estábamos contentos. El primer tren lo cogimos en la estación de Interlaken Ost. Kleine Scheidegg. Este primer tren llega hasta Kleine Scheidegg, a las faldas de Mönch y Eiger. Glaciar Aletsch, visto desde Sphinx-Jungfraujoch (3.571 m.) Mönch (4.107 m.), visto desde Sphinx-Jungfraujoch (3.571 m.) Jungfrau (4.158 m.), visto desde Sphinx-Jungfraujoch (3.571 m.) En esa planta tampoco perdimos mucho tiempo, el justo para adaptarnos sin problemas a la altitud.
