Living Green Companies And Individuals

By Abel Ferguson


Unless you're into eco-friendly living in a huge way, chances are that you have not heard of of the new entrant, Harvest Power. Syn-gas and bio-gas are created by Harvest Power, through the conversion of organic matter, which is usually thrown away, such as plant waste, food rubbish and woody bits and pieces. This waste can be transformed into electrical energy, natural gas and heat. Hopefully Harvest Power will just be the beginning of companies who will take unwanted organic materials to make soil enriching products and also creating renewable energy. The Earth can use some more of these companies who will handle organic wastes in a dependable way.

One of Harvest Power's best products is its compost product that can be added to the soil increase nutrients and organic material. This is very good since using natural soil enhancers improves soil health by enhancing the nutrient content. Adding organic compost to the soil instead of chemical fertilizers allows for the growth of healthier foods. The benefit of adding compost to your veggie garden is ultimately an improvement in the overall health of your family. A further advantage is that water consumption is cut back by adding organic compost. This is because healthy root systems are encouraged, holding water in the soil for longer.

The profits from replacing chemical fertilizers with organic compost are widespread. synthetic plant foods harm the ecosystem, fouling groundwater, contributing to disproportionate nitrogen levels, and making our soil more acid - these are all averted by the use of organic compost instead. The addition of compost supplies trace minerals which man-made fertilizers are not able to provide, and encourages the healthy growth of organisms. The erosion of topsoil that is happening to croplands can be reversed the application of organic compost. If we desire to live in a sustainable fashion, it's essential to have good soil.

Harvest Power has a large field of activity, and the company also is engaging in good, related things like renewable energy, anaerobic digestion and engineered fuel technologies. Basically, anaerobic digestion involves decomposing organic waste in the absence of oxygen to give rise to bio-gas, like methane. Positive effects of the company's activities are many fold and include diverse things like enriching soil with compost, seeing good alternative uses for landfill-destined waste matter, substituting chemical fertilizers and aiding the drive towards clean, renewable energy. If only the planet was a concern of all business organizations and everyone followed green ways of doing business.

Being "green" doesn't call for a huge effort to be purposeful - there are a lot ostensibly little things that can collectively become significant. Many people were instructed from an early age to not squander food. Still around the world, huge amounts of food are still being squandered. It's very bad that about half of all food produced is squandered before it can be ingested (as approximated by a Stockholm company). In America alone, the disposed of food is valued at $48.3 billion. That wastage alone is awful, but it also leads one to ask about the wastage of water. The same company claims that 40 trillion liters of water are wasted in the US. That is plenty of water for half a billion people. Virtually everyone could do things to conserve water.
