Welcome to Renewable Resources at Earthsos.org
Renewable Resources are resources that can be managed so that they never run out!
This section is dedicated to creating and spreading awareness about versatile resources that can be managed so that they never run out.
In these days of fast changing technology and technological discoveries, the cost of harnessing and utilizing these resources is changing, becoming less expensive and more available.
As the regulating laws catch up to the publics desire to protect the environment from non-renewable resources, the more taxes will be applied to there usage. As this natural progression happens, the green technologies and products will become the cheaper option and not just healthier for the environment.
We have the ability to start casting that vote now by looking for products and services that have used renewable resources in their creation or currently use renewable resources for their service. We can ask businesses if they offer such products or be notified when they become available.
Our Renewable Resources Sections
Here are the sections and topics we have chosen to include thus far into our renewable resources category.
Hemp, the fibre from the cannabis sativa plant, is an extremely versatile and greatly underused resource. This amazing fibre has a vast range of applications - from construction to textiles - even food.
There is a grass that grows over wide areas of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America, where various peoples depend on it for food, shelter, medicine and art.
There is an energy source that is affordable, reliable, clean, renewable and utterly abundant. That source is photovoltaics - better known as solar energy.
Wind Power has to be one of the greatest undervalued resources of our time.
Hydro Power is an interesting renewable resource because as long as the water is running, it is making power.
In addition to our present section on Energy Alternatives such as Solar and Wind Power, we are currently working on a section on yet another renewable energy resource: geothermal energy.
Yet another upcoming addition to our family of Energy Alternatives is Hydrogen Fuel Cells.
