Inhabitat’s Week in Green: Sky City One, sub-zero cafe and the world’s longest Lego train track

|

Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us — it’s the Week in Green.

Eyes in the design world turned to New York City this week as New York Design Week officially launched. We hit the floors of International Contemporary Furniture Fair today to bring you the best new green designs from one of the largest contemporary design shows in the US — including Blackbody’s gorgeous OLED light trees and Tat Chao’s ethereal LED lamps made from recycled wine glasses. We also checked out the locally focused BKLYN Designs show, where design duo Bower unveiled an awesome magnetic LED lamp, made from discarded pieces of scrap wood. Lighting designer Adam Frank unveiled three inspiring new designs at BKLYN Designs: the LED Lumen lamp, which casts tree-shaped shadows from a little candle holder; the incredible Reveal Projector, which projects an image of outdoor foliage and sky through a window on a blank wall (good for tiny NYC apartment dwellers); and the 3D Hologram-ish LUCID Mirror, which displays a 3D image of illuminated clouds over your head!

As scientists and renewable-energy developers continue to make advances in solar and wind technology, it’s becoming more apparent than ever that clean energy doesn’t just represent the future — it’s also the present. Spain proved that this week, when the Mediterranean country announced that it produced an impressive 54 percent of its total energy in April from renewable sources. Researchers at Yale University discovered a way to boost the efficiency of solar cells by 38 percent simply by coating them with a fluorescent dye. In another promising development, scientists at the University of Georgia developed a way to harness the photosynthetic process to generate clean energy from plants. And at a conference in California, NRG unveiled a mini prefabricated solar canopy that could soak up rays in any garden or commercial lot.

Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us — it’s the Week in Green.

DNP Inhabitat's Week in Green TKTKTK

The start of May saw an abundance of groundbreaking stories about flora and fauna — first, there was the heartwarming story of Naki’o, the first dog to be fitted with four prosthetic limbs after losing his legs to frostbite. Then we were surprised and slightly disturbed to learn that scientists in Uruguay used genetic engineering to create glowing sheep with genes from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish. In other illuminating news, a team of bioengineers in San Francisco is using genes from fireflies to create plants that glow. And the Institute of Space Systems in Germany announced plans to use Heliospectra’s new LED lighting systems to conduct research into growing vegetables in outer space.

Dollar collapse question. When are countries going to realize we dont produce anything other than green paper?

Author: Angela Chin

Question by LolWhoGivesA5hitAboutGlobalWarming: Dollar collapse question. When are countries going to realize we dont produce anything other than green paper?
We consume all the worlds resources in the states and produce nothing because of strict regulation on business and outsourcing. When are countries going to catch on the the fraud the federal reserve does? When are the people going to realizes the quantitative easing (printing money out of thin air) is just a way to keep the scam going longer?
Third might sound good, until you see how much we consume. Then you realize we need to be far ahead of even number one to keep a healthy economy.
Most of the worlds resources.

Duh,

The US is the world’s third largest exporter.

“The EU [European Union] and the US economies account together for about half the entire world GDP and for nearly a third of world trade flows…

“EU goods imports from the US in 2010: €169.5 billion.

“EU services imports from the US in 2010: €131.0 billion.

“EU investment flows to the US in 2009: €79.2 billion.”

“As the world’s 3rd biggest exporting nation, America shipped $ 1.291 trillion worth of exports in 2008.

“Principal American exports were capital goods including aircraft, industrial supplies like organic chemicals, consumer goods including automobiles and agricultural products led by soybeans and corn.

“Based on 2008 statistics, America’s largest export clients were Canada (20.1%), Mexico (11.7%), China (5.5%), Japan (5.1%), Germany (4.2%) and the United Kingdom (4.1%).”

These ignorant, hysterical questions are typical of those who rant against “The Fed!”

And of those who try to scapegoat “Regulations!” as the cause of President Cheney’s Great Recession,

when ,in fact, it was the GOP’s ideology of De-Regulation that allowed the Global Plutocratic Cabal’s Big Banks to loot working Americans’ net worth:

International Monetary Fund’s former Chief Economist:

“Our leading bankers looted [the United States], plunged the world into deep recession, [starting Dec, 2007] and cost the United States eight million jobs.

“Now many of them stand by with sharpened knives and enhanced bonuses – willing to suggest how the salaries and jobs of others can be further cut.

“Consider the morality of that.

“Will no one think hard about what this means for our budget and our political system until it is too late?”

By Simon Johnson, former Chief Economist @ the International Monetary Fund.

From 2001 to 2009, for the first time since WW2, the average American’s net worth fell, and by a huge 13%.

The 1990s had the largest increase, 44%.

Robert Reich, Sec of Labor under Clinton:

“What’s happened in the last 30 years is that worker [in the private sector] has taken a shellacking.

“The US economies’ problems lie w/ “fraud, deregulation and vast concentration of wealth.

“For three decades we’ve cut taxes on the wealthy while real wages stood still.”

Author: Janet Odell

Each week our buddies at Inhabitat recap the week’s most fascinating green advancements and clean tech information for us– it’s the Week in Environment-friendly.

It’s been an interesting week for green building as Inhabitat stated that a few of the world’s leading architects unveiled plans for state-of-the-art advancements with light ecological footprints. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) won a worldwide design competitors for Europa, a brand-new green-roofed city outside of Paris. Construction began last week on a new solar-powered arena for the Euro 2016 football championship designed by Herzog & de Meuron. San Francisco commemorated the reopening of the Exploratorium this week in a new net-zero premises along the city’s waterside. In Mexico City, a helipad on the roof of a workplace structure was converted into a co-working space with a beautiful rooftop yard. And we also profiled the Ekinoid, a spherical, self-dependent house that sits on stilts and is built to stand up to catastrophe.

Inhabitat’s Week in Green: algae-powered building, ionic wind thrusters and 3D-textured solar cells

Each week our buddies at Inhabitat recap the week’s most fascinating green developments and clean tech information for us– it’s the Week in Green.

Today, Inhabitat stated that the world’s first algae-powered building officially opened its doors in Hamburg. It’s called the BIQ Home and it includes an excellent bio-adaptive algae facade that controls day lighting while producing a stable stream of sustainable energy. It makes sense that the self-sufficient building is found in Germany; the European nation is blazing a trail in clean tech. Despite dumping its nuclear reactor, Germany has quadrupled its energy manufacturing in the previous two years, largely due to its rapidly expanding alternative energy portfolio. Not to be outdone, England just flipped the turn on the world’s largest wind farm, and in Paris, Schneider Electric set up kinetic energy-harvesting tiles that generate power from joggers in the Paris Marathon. At the same time at the International Space Station, astronauts are installing a brand-new sort of 3D-textured solar cell that will absorb 16 sunups every day.

Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us — it’s the Week in Green.

Just a few short years ago, 3D printing seemed like science fiction; we could grasp its value, but we didn’t yet have the ability to harness its power and put it to good use. Now, we’re seeing the technology advance every day — and it’s opening up new possibilities in medical science and other fields. This week, we shared the story of one British man who received a new 3D-printed face that gave him a second chance at life. In an equally amazing story, scientists at the University of Notre Dame successfully 3D printed the entire skeleton of a living rat. California-based Signal Snowboards unveiled the world’s first 3D-printed snowboard this week. And desktop 3D printing and scanning is getting cheaper every day — Canadian company Matterform is developing a lightweight 3D scanner called the Photon that’s cheaper than a tablet.
