links to articles on going green and green energy and design etc

[robin1989]

now i know people are unlikely to read everything but here are some links to some very interesting articles to say the least. if the areas covered in all these articles could come to fruition and be implemented on a wider scale it would make the world a better and more ecologically friendly place (not to mention some of this looks cool)

i have decided over recent months after looking at the way i consume energy and the house i live in consumes energy that over the next 5 years or so i intend to drastically cut the amount of energy and waste i and my family produce and make our home a much more energy efficient house and hopefully some of these sites can inspire me and others in ways of creating an energy efficient household.

i've tried to post some of my favourite articles at the top and have them go down in order but have almost certainly missed some of the cracker articles. it would be cool if the news team maybe use the site inhabitat and yankodesign to get some stories and also other sites that specialise in concept design etc as an article could inspire the creativity in a young mind for them to create something special or something that looks phenomenal.

i'd also be very interested in any interesting article you guys have read or your views on any of the articles/concepts here or the general idea of going green
