We love Popular Science. We like to think of ourselves as a pale imitation of PopSci...with a green slant. So when the real Popular Science starts covering green technology, that matters to us. Which is why it rocks that PopSci's recent list of 2007's most important innovations has a whole section for green technology. And, unsurprisingly, we've covered the majority of the honorees.
Those include:
- Turning Tires to Oil (PopSci)
- Saving sink water for the toilet (PopSci)
- Plastic from Bacteria (PopSci)
- NanoSolar's Printable Solar Cells (PopSci)
- Underwater Timber Harvesting (PopSci)
- And LED Fluorescent Tubes (PopSci)
We only skipped the ice-based air conditioner and GE's ultra-efficient locomotive. Now...are we upset that PopSci hasn't offered to buy us? No. Are we bragging about our ability to cover the coolest stuff that is happening in the world today? Yes...yes, we absolutely are.

If you are recycling grey-water at home for example, then you will need to ensure you use organic (as in the ingredients are grown & harvested naturally) and biodegradable shampoos, soaps, washing-up liquid, washing powders / soap nuts; basically nothing dodgy can go down the sink. Then the water goes through some level of treatment, or sometimes can be used straight, to water plants and gardens, and depending on what kind of system you have set-up it can also be re-used for some household tasks too (the washing up, the washing machine, showers).
