Implosions or wrecking-ball' style demolition is relatively inexpensive and offers a quick method of clearing sites for new structures. On the other hand, this creates substantial amounts of waste. Components within old buildings may still be valuable, sometimes more valuable than at the time the building was constructed. Deconstruction is a method of harvesting what is commonly considered &quot;waste&quot; and reclaiming it into useful building material.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Selling billions of gallons of water in everlasting plastic bottles to people that already have access to clean water is turning our planet into a gigantic garbage dump. 60 million plastic bottles are thrown away each day in the USA alone.

The company received an IDEA (International Design Excellence Award) for this design. Now if they could just get those silver-tongued water hucksters and bottle-sucking sheep to buy into it.The container that is versatile in its range of consumer applications is made from food-safe and fully recyclable materials. It strategically decreases energy consumed throughout the product life cycle without sacrificing functionality, and enhances everyday consumer usage by offering an environmentally friendly experience.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Every day people purchase new shipping and moving boxes at a significant expense. While it is possible to find low cost, or even free, used boxes, the process is often time consuming, embarrassing, and full of frustration and uncertainty. Anyone who's ever moved has probably experienced either significant expense for new shipping boxes or countless trips to stores on search of usable discards. A new San Francisco startup, however, aims to change all that with an online process that makes it easy for those in need of boxes to find those who have extras to dispose of.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Once, most Americans got their water only from the tap. Now, they're often buying their water in a bottle.

<description><![CDATA[Junk hauling may sound like a questionable product to sell: it assumes that people will pay to get rid of ratty sofas and assorted items in professional and socially conscious ways. Almost every house has an excess of junk which often fills the garage, every closet in the house, the attic, storage sheds, basement, and what was supposed to be the guest bedroom.People spend a lot of money every month renting storage spaces across town to store the junk they do not have room for. If you want to earn big cash, and help rescue others from under the dusty thumb of junk, consider starting a junk hauling business. You can make a lot of money doing this, both upfront money, and money on the back end.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Snack foods are often classified as junk food; they have little or no nutritional value, and are not contributing towards general health. With growing concerns for diet, weight control and nutrition, government bodies are recommending that people make a conscious effort to eat more healthy, natural snacks - such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and cereal grains - while avoiding high-calorie, low-nutrient junk food.<br/><br/>2 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The term was coined by journalist Jeff Howe in a 2006 article in Wired magazine. It's essentially the application of open-source principles to fields beyond software. Instead of outsourcing a task to one person or expert, it is outsourced to a crowd. The process uses the group's intelligence to come up with the best ideas, then distributes the tasks to people most suited to perform them putting the wisdom of crowds to work.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Global dimming is the gradual reduction in the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface that was observed for several decades after the start of systematic measurements in 1950s. The effect varies by location, but worldwide it has been estimated to be of the order of a 4% reduction over the three decades from 1960-1990.
