Sustainalbe Living: Harvesting rainwater a great idea, but please sterilize

November 28th, 2010

“When the rain comes … I don’t mind” – Lennon & McCartney Gardeners and farmers know that plants prefer rainwater above all other sources. Rainwater is free of chlorine and salts that may be present in other water. When we get a good soaking rain, my garden plants stand erect with their leaves swelling with water pressure. If a plant could said to be happy, this is the time. Winter storms blowing in from the Pacific bring us a generous amount of water. It flows off our roofs and into the creeks and rivers to be sucked up by our municipal water systems. They filter and chlorinate it and pump it back to the same house from where it originated. The round trip may be many miles with a significant amount of energy expended. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to capture some of that water to be used right at the point of origin? It’s time for a project! I began with an Internet search. Much of the developing world captures rainwater off roofs. When you have to carry w Copyright 2010 The News-Review. All rights reserved.

Discovery of New Earth-Like Planet Triggers Huge Web Search

October 2nd, 2010

Lawrence Mijares – AHN News Contributor

Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) – According to Yahoo! web searches for the newly discovered Earth-like “Goldilocks” planet known as Gliese 581g have jumped 7,232 percent for the week. Astronomers have discovered Earth-like planets before but these were huge planets, almost the size of Jupiter and were either too hot or too cold for liquid water to exist.

This new planet however, code named, “Gliese 581g” is considered to be the first planet 193 trillion kilometers away that appears to have most of the conditions that would make it just right to support human life, and bears the closest resemblance to Earth found in that region called the “Goldilocks zone”.

Doug Hudgins, an exoplanet exploration program scientist for NASA in Washington, explains “The Goldilocks zone is the range of orbits around any star where it is neither too hot nor too cold but just right for liquid water to exist on the surface, and that is a key ingredient for the existence of life.”

Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution in Washington says the planet he helped discover, is in awe of the fact that, “The truly exciting thing about this discovery is that the star is so nearby, and we found it relatively quickly in the scheme of things. So this suggests that potentially habitable planets are very, very common.”

What is even more exciting is that there are five or six other Goldilocks planets similar to Gliese 581g circling the same red dwarf star. Many other planets with potential-Earth-like conditions are hoped to be discovered in other areas of the universe.

The research will be explained in detail about this discovery in a paper to be published in the Astrophysical Journal and available for viewing online at “arXiv.org.”
