Thetraditional ways in which we heator homes,Our clever solar lantern is

industries and fuel our transportation systems are becoming less
sustainable as we are rapidly running out of fossil fuels.
Even
if fossil fuels were not beingdpleted, the emissions we create from
burning them is resulting in what manysientists predict will be
catastrophic global climate change.
One
wayinwhich we can overcome the problems of fossil fuel and save
ourselves moneyisby using renewableenergyorlow carbon technologies to
generate the energyweneed from abundant, free sources of energy, such as
the wind, sun and plant or animal matter.
Lowcrbon
technologies are definitelyanadvance on traditional fossil-fuel burning
technologies, but are not completely renewableastheymay still have
carbon emissions associated with them. An example of this is aheatpump
which uses free and renewablehatfom the ground, butrequires an electric
pump to operate the system.
Renewableenergyand
lowcarbon technologies can basically be divided into twosctions o those
thatgnerate electricity and those thatgnerate heat, although there are
some thatdo both.
When it comes to generating electricity the options are:
lSolar electricity systems,A flatwork ironer with

capture the sun's energyusing photovoltaic cells and convert sunlight
into electricity which can be used to runhusehold appliances and
lighting.

Forthose whowant to generateheat, the options include:
AWood-fuelled

ASolar water heating systems thatuse free heatfrom the sun to warm domestic hot water.
These usuallyaso have aconventional boiler or immersion heater as back-up, toprovide hot water when solar energyis unavailable.

Anything goes in flowers for today's prom
Once
a sweet surprise and often all white to go with any outfit, prom
flowers have made the leap into the new millennium with glitzy
embellishments, jewelry attachments and a world of creativity for the
florists who design them.
No more scratchy, throwaway wristbands (unless you want one) and no more fumbling with straight pins as your nervous date squirms. Today's corsages don't even have to be corsages.We carry the latest wind turbines, wind generator, solar panels, towers and more! Flowers can be worn on the head, upper arm or shoe, at the shoulder, on a necklace, as a ring or even stuck right onto a bare back or leg.
These days, flowers have taken their place as a key accessory rather than mere appendage handed over in time for photos before heading out the door.
"Everyone wants to be unique and different from someone else and that's a big deal, trying to do something different," said Jasmine Snow, accessories editor for Seventeen magazine. "It's so cool to be able to try these new modern takes on using fresh flowers as opposed to just doing the normal."
Attachments: Bangles, beads, multiple strands of rhinestones, fancy cuff bracelets in silver, gold or any wire creation imaginable have replaced the cheapy wristlets of corsages past. Slap bracelets are also used as a base, easily painted or sprayed with glitter to match an overall look. Some florists stock options but invite customers to bring along their own jewelry.Much stricter controls on solvent emissions have ensured that all dry cleaning machine in the Western world are now fully enclosed.
"These days you can safely glue on so you don't damage the jewelry, and then the girl has something to keep after prom instead of us being 20 years later with dry old roses. You've actually got this bracelet or this necklace that you can look back at and go, 'Oh, that was so much fun,"' said Della Mendenhall, a manager and product developer at Gillespie Florists in Indianapolis.
Boutonniere holders (think ice cream cone shape) often anchor the traditional male floral in metal. They come in filigree,We may contact you if more information is needed to locate a street light. vine and many other designs. Magnet sets can be used to keep them in place, and they can be reused for high schoolers who plan to attend more than one prom.
Embellishments: Anything goes regardless of where you decide to place your flowers — and whether you're the one in a dress or a tux. Colored feathers, ribbons of different textures, prints and widths and silk leaves can be mixed. Arrangements can have dangling strands of beads or rhinestones or bejeweled pins.Our most compact solar chargeryet fits easily in any bag. And in a trend borrowed from the wedding industry, plant succulents and pods are used as accents.
How about a glow? A company called Bioconst has come up with cut flowers that offer a black light effect when treated with its fluorescent formulation and combined with a UV device embedded in a corsage or boutonniere. Another company sells LED kits similar to tiny Christmas tree lights to arrange among the flowers.
Placement: Wearing the prom arrangement on the wrist remains popular, but florists and designers support other placements as well, the head among them.
"I love doing hair flowers," said Stacey Bendet of Alice & Olivia. "It's more modern.A flatwork ironer with unique features."
Gillespie and Twigs are among shops offering florals attached to rhinestone-studded tiaras, more relaxed bohemian headbands worn across the forehead or around-the-head wreaths.
"Or he can just pick some and she can pin them to her hair or a bun," Bendet said. "Hair flowers are definitely a trend right now."
She also suggests floral arrangements attached to purses or phone cases. Gillespie will make small arrangements intended for the toe or ankle strap of a shoe, either glued or tied on with ribbon, or hang an arrangement from a rhinestone-studded necklace that ties with ribbon at the back.
