Build Your Own Solar Panel – A Solar Guide Overview
If you have ever thought of building your own solar panels (yes, it is possible 
), you can check out my overview of the guide with instructions on how to do it that I have just published.
It really IS cool to be able to generate clean / green electricity without having to pay a fortune to your utility company.
Let me know what you think – share your thoughts, opinions, experiences!

Looking for conservation-related causes
I have been contacted by a group of people who are organizing a series of multi-media events aimed to raise awareness on conservation-related issues around the world.
Their team will be traveling through some tropical African countries and are looking for worthy conservation-related causes to promote via a series of events at several stops throughout their journey.
If you have (or know someone who has) a conservation-related cause in any of the countries listed below that you think will be worthy of worldwide attention, please feel free to contact me directly via our contact form.
Below is a summary of the project:
__________________________________________________________
A multimedia publicity package is planned for an expedition through central and east Africa. It includes a TV documentary (tentative), national and international radio, large newspapers and a variety of magazines.
All media coverage is focused on the developed world. We are seeking operations which work to protect habitat and/or fauna and flora in the region created by western Zambia, northern and north-eastern Angola, the Kinshasa area, southern Congo Brazzaville, eastern Gabon, all Cameroon, north-eastern Nigeria, south-western Chad, central CAR, north-eastern DRC and north and central Uganda.
The small team will arrive at each cause, run a simple stunt to give a story to the cause in question, and move on. Media will follow the journey, covering the causes as we pass them.
Selected causes may also appear in a second high-profile visual media exercise, and others may be used in a study of how celebrity activity benefits conservation. We raise awareness, not money. The resultant impact of our work is generally heightened general awareness, not direct action.
For those interested, please let us know where you are based, if your work will benefit from blanket media coverage, and if you are able to make media decisions in-field.
Please note: impact of media coverage varies; the team will ask for assistance which may cost you a little to arrange; we need to work with venues that operate flexibly. We also need to know how your work can potentially tie in with wider research into subjects of conservation and ecological value.
The team must have a list of causes by end September 2009 because we are presenting to the Royal Geographical Society for kit sponsorship, and the large US documentary networks, shortly after then.

Solar Electricity is the Future of Renewable Energy
I have recently published a new article on solar electricity which I believe has a huge potential to relieve us all of oil dependence.
But not only that, it also of course is one of the solutions to global warming and environmental pollution that we have to deal with.
Will be publishing more on diy solar energy very soon.
