In this excerpt from the TV show “Ugao”, it is shown one of the applied inventions of Veljko Milkovic – Self-heating eco-house with the reflecting surfaces located in Novi Sad (Serbia) owned by Mr. Aleksandar Nikolić who lives in that house with his family more than 12 years and who speaks, in this video, about his positive experience of living in such house stating the advantages of building that eco-house with the reflecting surfaces… Veljko Milkovic http://www.veljkomilkovic.com is the ideological creator (author) of this self-heating eco-house building concept with the reflecting surfaces and the owner of this eco-house in Novi Sad (Serbia), Aleksandar Nikolic did a construction project for presented eco-house. Veljko Milkovic still develops and improves this principle of building the self-heating eco-houses.

There is no need to reinvent the wheel in designing efficient buildings, cars, clothing, purification systems, etc. .Instead man needs to take a closer look at the models nature has been employing for the last 3.8 billion years. Take a close look at structure and function in the natural world, nature never wastes. Nature is much more efficient than you and I. http://www.drdianateachertraining.com For more information on Biomimicry see the following websites: http://www.biomimicryinstitute.org http://www.biomimicryguild.org Good Reads and References: Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature by Janine M.

Economic, social and environmental solutions are needed to ensure current consumption patterns do not disadvantage future generations. This short film seeks to illustrate how concrete meets the imperative of operating in a sustainable manner. It demonstrates how efficiencies and innovations in concretes manufacture, along with its inherent attributes, can provide sustainable building solutions. www.sustainableconcrete.org.nz Duration : 0:9:42
Song: Feels Like Home by Bonnie Raitt Duration : 0:4:18 I came across this essay that was posted on the internet… do you think it was written by a 12-year-old? It seems to mature to me… (: Canada is endowed with a remarkable amount of natural assets. This biodiversity enriches and benefits the lives of Canadians in many ways. For example, Canada’s beautiful landscapes attract many tourists every year, and a large part of Canada’s revenues comes from its natural resources, like timber, minerals and fisheries. However, nature has more than just economic value to us. It allows us to understand our role in the Earth. We are caretakers, not owners, of nature. All of our physical needs are dependent upon nature’s supply. A part of us can only be satisfied with being among trees and animals. The joy of being with nature is unique, it can even be medicinal; looking at trees and animals are natural cures when you are in emotional distress, as opposed to looking at cement buildings and parking lots. Nature makes people complete. Every animal is part of a chain reaction and all species are interconnected. If even one was lost, the whole world could fall into shambles. If one part of the chain was broken, millions of animals could suffer the consequences. Imagine you decide to revisit the waterfall after 30 years. You find that the fish are gone, the water has been polluted, and the forest has been cleared out. Who killed the fish? Who polluted the water? Who cut down the forest? We did. We have over-fished for food and for fun. We have over-logged and caused habitat loss, because we wanted the resources. We have polluted the water due to our irresponsible behavior. We have clogged up the waterfall with litter, showing no respect to nature. The original scene was picture perfect, so why did we wreck it? Why are we killing our Earth? However, there is hope. Canada has converted only six percent of its forests to farms and cities, keeping more than 90 percent of its original forests. Around 140,000 species live in Canada, and the number is still increasing. It is important that we, as Canadians, do not take our nature for granted, but should strive to reduce the loss of biodiversity through conservation and sustainable use. Canada is an amazing place. So it’s possible, with the world’s help, to sustain biodiversity and keep our world-and Canada-as amazing as it is now. (By Rachel Lin) Does anyone know if a Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) reading has to be included into the Code of Sustainable Homes (CSH) Standard? And if so, what is the relationship between them? Could it be said that the CSH requirement would not exist without a SAP reading? I look forward to your answers, Thanks

Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski, Science Education Consultant provides several examples of how man has observed and studied structure and function in the natural world as an inspiration for many of our inventions. A brief overview and connections to the science of biomimicry are also made in this film. Biomimicry coming from the Greek word bios, life, and mimesis, imitation. Biomimicry is a relatively new science where researchers and scientists join in their efforts to study the models nature has employed. From chloroplasts to the hexagonal structures found in bee and wasp nests. Researchers and scientists then emulate the models used in nature as inspiration for solving some of the problems humans are facing today. From developing: clean and efficient energy systems, water purification systems, material science, automotive and aeronautical design, and more….

It is now recognised as vital that all development be sustainable.
I know there are a ton of videos of LP have been made to this song but I figured I would do it again. Mine basically takes LP moments from the first three seasons and mirrors them against moments in S4 (and a couple from S5 towards the end). It is pretty self-explanatory.
