Now a carbon neutral blog

Each year in Germany, paper industry consumption due to printed prospects alone is responsible for 455,400 tons of CO2 in the air and 4,62 litres of water and 1,157 million kwh of electricity, all by 33kilos of paperrolls. By doing this to nature, one should absolutely "pay back" as result of ecological footprint. Company KaufDa in Germany is a magazine and folder print company that sees their own problem. They've become green by understanding their own footprints. I also agree with them that maybe internet has solved many of the world's cultural and environmental problems. Sending e-mail instead of printing a post card, it is very ecological. So I signed up for different win-win-sites, and with this badge my existance contribute to planting a real tree in Plumas, or in their further planting area. I thought it was a nice idea. Nothing is better than win-win. As green world seems to interact both on internet and in real life. With this blog post, they'll plant a tree for me to neutralize the carbon emissions of my blog. How it works is described in here: http://www.kaufda.de/umwelt/carbon-neutral/1-tree-1-blog-how-it-works/ and here  http://www.kaufda.de/umwelt/carbon-neutral/what-we-do/

Eco in Denmark: Brushing some lime plaster on walls

In the first few days here at Friland, I started as mentioned with whitewashing (or not clearly), more specifically mixing and painting with lime plaster on the external walls at my host. It was both a lesson in building stairs to reach the upper levels of the wall as well as climbing them, and of course this very simple technique. The cal is calcium carbonate, which is a chemical form of calcium hydroxide and sand, where water is added 4 times 1 to make the plaster slake. The result after brushing is below:

House's wall before lime plaster



Voila! A completely white, bright house!:)
