Eco Houses




Hi everybody it's bobby here did you know that an internationally renowned energy expert believes New Zealand could generate all its electricity from renewable sources within twenty years. Wow!!!!!!!!




Eco House are built in such a way that reduces energy consumption and waste. Eco Houses reduce the buildings bad impact on human health and the environment, through better design, construction, siting, operation and maintenance. Eco Houses are a combination of sustainable design, sustainable development and sustainable living. Eco houses are designed and built as part of the larger ecology of the planet; the design and construction of the building are done in harmony with the natural environment. Studies have shown that buildings are the most damaging polluters on the planet, consuming over half of all the energy used in developed countries and producing over half of all the climate-changing greenhouse gases. A successful eco house should give the owner the ‘best of both’ by providing less of an impact on the environment along with a healthier place to live and lower ongoing running costs. Eco Bob

Save Our Earth Before Polusion Takes Over


To all that are reading this, I urge that we all try to protect the earth by:



- reducing reusing and recycling and not filling up the land fills.


-stop using the amount of power we use because power stations effect global warming the most. (check the post above)


-and start to use wind power or other related and good for the environment

Eco System (Greenhouse Gases)

This is a pie graph of how we effect Global Warming. Waste disposal and treatment got a good 3.4%, land use and biomass burning got 10.0%, residential, commercial,and other sources got an average 10.3 %, fossil fuel retrieval, processing and distribution got a bit higher with 11.3%, agricultural byproducts with a bit of a change 12.5%, transportation fuels another decent change 14.0% industrial processes with 16.8%, power stations gets the worst with 21.3% now to the green house effect the reason global warming is happening is because the suns rays (a combination of heat and light) gets through the the top of the atmosphere hits the earth and then can't escape this is making the poles melt and the sea level rise.
