Chasing the Sun is Neville Williams’ inspiring account of his twelve year quest to bring solar power and light to people in the developing world who have no electricity. This book describes the founding of the non-profit Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) in 1990 which promoted solar power for a decade by setting up pilot solar rural electrification programs in eleven developing countries, including Zimbabwe, India, Nepal, Vietnam, Sri Lanka and China. This project led to the authors launching of the commercial Solar Electric Light Company in 1997 which became the 'SELCO' group of companies that has overcome daunting challenges to bring solar electricity to 50,000 families in India, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.
Chasing the Sun asks why if millions of people in the developing world can utilize solar energy, why we in developed countries such as Australia cannot? Pick up your copy of chasing the Sun today to become inspired about solar energy.
Most parents these days wish to protect their children from the vast array of unknown and potentially harmful chemicals which are added to many commercially available products or used in the manufacturing process, but it is no easy task with over 100,000 synthetic chemicals available on the market and over 1500 new chemicals being produced annually. Over half of these chemicals have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body.
These chemicals accumulate in the food chain and end up in bodies, they are then passed onto developing children across the placenta, through breast milk, in food and water, or the creams, lotions, soaps and personal care products we lather and bathe them in.
Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Kids In A Toxic World is an important resource for parents which addresses the issue of chemicals and their impact on human health and specifically on children and young people.
Inform yourself on what chemicals you are putting into your own and your children’s bodies with Dr Sarah Lantz Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Kids In A Toxic World.

Right now, the rate of global warming may be 100 times faster than it has ever been. Very soon, the Earth will become hotter than at any time in human history. As the continents warm and the ice at the poles melt, oceans will rise, droughts will devastate crops, and entire species of plants and animals will become extinct. It now seems evident that this extremely rapid warming is being caused by us, the humans, rather than by geological or astronomical processes that were going on before we arrived.
Will Washington, London, and Tokyo be threatened by rising seas? Will the Great Plain and Ukraine revert to shifting desert sands? What changes in our economics, politics, and lifestyles will be brought about by the coming climate crisis? Here, for the first time in one place is the information we need to prepare ourselves and our children for this very different future.

Crimes Against Nature is an impassioned account of how Bush and big business are plundering the environment and raking in the profits. Robert F Kennedy Jr, one of the world's most prominent environmental lawyers charges the White House with the crime of pursuing private profit and personal power at the expense of clean air, clean water and wildlife habitats.

Written in the belief that there is another way, Crimes Against Nature powerfully makes the case for democracy against the corrosive effects of corporate corruption.

This cloth will clean your dustiest surfaces. This microfibre suede cloth cleans much more efficiently than standard cloths because it uses a static charge created by the shape of the woven fibres. The cloth collects all the dust so it doesn't just get dispersed into the air.
While all micro fibres are virtually scratch free, suede is the least abrasive of all the microfibre weaves so you can use it on your most delicate items.
Machine washable (most effective in hot water & don't use fabric softener as it reduces the static charge).
Contains 1 dusting cloth.

About 70% of the food we eat contains genetically engineered ingredients and the biotech industry is spending $50 million a year to convince us that this technology is our only hope. Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage and featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials and activists, FED UP! presents an entertaining and compelling overview of our current food production system from the Green Revolution to the Biotech Revolution and what we can do about it. FED UP! answers many questions regarding genetic engineering, the Green Revolution, genetic pollution and modern pesticides through interviews with Marc Lapp and Britt Bailey from the Center for Ethics and Toxics, Peter Rosset and Anuradha Mittal from Food First, Vandana Shiva from the Research Center for Science, Technology and Ecology, Ignacio Chapela from UC s Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management, Martina McGloughlin, Director of UC Biotechnology Program and many others.

Film Date:
2002
Film Length:
56 min
Special Edition DVD 2-Disc Set There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade.
From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply.
Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.

Using advanced solar cell and lithium ion battery technologies, this solar device will charge its internal battery in double quick time. It then takes only 30 minutes to deliver its power to give a mobile phone 35 hours, iPod 14 hours, GPS 1 ½ hours.
It also comes with four connection tips, a master cable and a comprehensive user manual. The great thing about the Pico Solar Charger is that it can also directly connect to any device supplied with a USB charge / sync cable, giving virtually unlimited connectivity.
The Indigo features a cluster of ultra-bright LEDs as the primary light source for space illumination, and also has a single-LED directional light source for use as a reading light or flashlight. In addition to wall recharging ability, you can power it yourself using the trusted Freeplay self-charge technology, so you'll never run out of power. That, combined with the reliability of ultra-bright white LEDs rated for 100,000 hours, makes the Indigo the most dependable lantern on the market. With the peace of mind of never needing to ever replace batteries or bulbs, you'll know that your Indigo will work whenever you need it, anytime, anywhere. Yet you'll have excellent brightness and shine time.
Ideal for everyday and emergency use, indoors and out, the Indigo puts the power in your hands. The self-charge system offers maximum dependability for those times when you can’t afford to be left in the dark by dead batteries. A quick wind (about 60 seconds) provides up to 2 hours of light on the lowest setting – and you can wind again at any time for as much shine-time as you want. An LED charge level indicator tells you the optimal winding speed.
Using the dimmer switch, the Indigo allows you to adjust the brightness of the lantern to your specific requirements, from maximum brightness to a night-light. This also allows you to maximize your shine time: the lower the brightness, the longer the shine.
The included reading light / flashlight is also an LED with excellent performance, delivering an hour of brilliant white light per 60-second wind.
The Indigo is rechargeable, either by winding or by a separately available AC adapter. When fully charged, the lantern provides up to 2 ½ hours of continuous ultra bright light, and 70 hours of night-light, using the LED cluster. Similarly the directional light will shine for up to 35 hours continuously.

Guerrilla Gardening outlines the power-to-the-people campaign for greening our cities. The term 'guerrilla' may bring to mind a small band of armed soldiers, moving in the dead of night on a stealth mission. In the case of guerrilla gardening, the soldiers are planters, the weapons are shovels, and the mission is to transform an abandoned lot into a thing of beauty. Once an environmentalist's nonviolent direct action for inner-city renewal, this approach to urban beautification is spreading to all types of people in cities around the world.
These modern-day Johnny Appleseeds perform random acts of gardening, often without the property owner's prior knowledge or permission. Typical targets are vacant lots, railway land, underused public squares, and back alleys. The concept is simple, whimsical and has the cheeky appeal of being a not-quite-legal call to action. Dig in some soil, plant a few seeds, or mend a sagging fence one good deed inspiring another, with win-win results all around.
Tips for effective involvement include:
finding plants and seeds cheap (or free)
handling city officials
getting the dirt on soil
planting to bring back the birds
knowing when to ask permission and when to seek forgiveness
Social activists, city dwellers and long-time gardeners will delight in this fast-paced and funny call to arms.

This approved, fire resistant enclosure isolates recessed downlights from the many hazardous elements such as dust, allergens and insects common to ceiling spaces and prevents these elements entering your indoor environment 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Recessed downlights are a very popular form of lighting for many good reasons. They are classy, streamlined, space efficient, effective and they can highlight particular features of interest.
However without a fire resistant enclosure, downlights are left exposed above your ceiling and can become the foundation for a string of undesirable consequences. Over time, loose material builds up around any high temperature globe.
Isolite seals the back of the downlight inside the ceiling, offering vital benefits in safety and energy reduction, and suits most good quality 12 volt downlights.
Isolite's unique anchoring system resists forces produced by air movement, people and/or rodents. Our downlight guards are manufactured from lightweight high temperature fire resistant materials approved by the Electrical Safety Authorities in Australia.

Morningstar’s Relay Driver is a logic module which provides high level system control functions such as high/low voltage alarms, load control and generator start. The product controls four independent relay driver outputs by reading digital data inputs from Morningstar’s TriStar controller or by reading battery voltage when used in systems.
Morningstar’s Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS) provides improved battery charging in solar systems that experience temperature variations during the year. The RTS measures temperature at the battery and the controller uses this data for very accurate temperature compensation. Use of the RTS is recommended whenever the temperature at the battery will be more than 5°C (9°F) different than the temperature at the controller. The TriStar has no on-board temperature compensation; therefore the use of the RTS is required for temperature compensated charging. Other Morningstar controllers will default to an on-board temperature sensor if a RTS is not connected.
The RTS is compatible with the following Morningstar controllers:
• ProStar™ (soldering required)
• TriStar™
• SunKeeper™
• SunSaver Duo™
• SunSaver MPPT™
For maximum protection from harsh environments, the sensor is encapsulated in epoxy inside a power lug housing. The RTS is also protected from lightning surges and short circuits.

Concerns over climate change and energy depletion are increasing exponentially. Mainstream solutions still assume a panacea that will cure our climate ills without requiring any serious modification to our way of life.
Plan C explores the risks inherent in trying to continue our energy-intensive lifestyle. Using dirtier fossil fuels (Plan A) or switching to renewable energy sources (Plan B) allows people to remain complacent in the face of potential global catastrophe. Dramatic lifestyle change is the only way to begin to create a sustainable, equitable world.
The converging crises of Peak Oil, Climate Change and increasing inequity are presented in a clear, concise manner, as are the twin solutions of community (where cooperation replaces competition) and curtailment (deliberately reducing consumption of consumer goods). Plan C shows how each person's individual choices can dramatically reduce CO2 emissions. It offers specific strategies in the areas of food, transportation and housing.
Plan C is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in living a lower-energy and sustainable lifestyle.

A small, invisible toilet leak of two tablespoons per minute turns into 40 liters per day - 280 liters per week - 15,000 liters per year, and that's not at all uncommon. Many toilets quietly lose liters per hour - dollars per week. The CleverLad Leak Detection Kit is a safe, easy way to find out if you have this problem.

In 1950, only thirty percent of the world's population lived in cities. By 2007, the planet's population has now doubled and today, as many people live in cities as populated the entire planet in 1950. Eighty percent of the planet's greenhouse gases are created by these energy-intensive urban centers. Thus, the key to creating climate change solutions resides with cities.
Author and city councillor Clive Doucet provides a razor-sharp insider's perspective, stating his central theme: 'It's not about planning. It's about politics.' Climate change is proceeding so quickly not for lack of knowledge, but because politicians who deviate from the car-based sprawl model cannot get elected.
