Watch the full film here: vod.journeyman.tv With global warming dominating the political agenda, ‘carbon footprint’ and ‘renewable energy’ have become the latest buzzwords. Only renewable power, claim environmentalists, can enable us to maintain our current lifestyles without destroying the world. Tired of waiting for government action, states like California are taking the lead. In setting their own ambitious renewable energy targets, they’re forcing industries to make the switch. But countries like Australia remain firmly wedded to coal. Is renewable energy capable of meeting the needs of a modern economy? We investigate.

Ok so here comes the summer somewhere in the world, and with that on go all the air cons that contribute to our carbon footprint and in no way contributes to transforming our cities in sustainable empires. What good would one or two photovoltaic electric panels built from kits do for you, you may ask? Well, even if the panels you set up are not quite large enough in scale to take you completely off the power grid, they will surely help nonetheless. Powering even just a couple of lights and appliances with free, renewable solar energy is going to help both your power bill and the environment in the long run. This is precisely why more and more people are becoming interested in learning how to build your own solar panels. In comparison to premade sheets, these kits are less expensive and help to reduce the necessary initial outlay for the setups. Hence, they can more easily pay back their own costs, and you will start saving money faster. Even novices can take advantage of these packages since they are designed to be not too difficult to put together. Assembly of a panel from a certain package is a fairly short project that should not take more than a day or two, at the most. This also means that you can start using your arrangement to power your devices quickly enough, even though you have to build it yourself. This makes these kits a really feasible alternative to more expensive ready-made systems. Learning how to build your own solar panels is definitely a cost-effective …

Installation video showing one wall of the piece being put together. This installation at the New England Institute of Art is the culmination of a week-long artist residency that involved visiting a number of Brookline schools as part of Climate Change Action Brookline’s Climate Week. This piece is a photo journal recording all of my activities that contribute to my CO2 emissions along with graphs to interpret my footprint. The piece represents a multi-year effort to record, digest, and calculate my environmental impact — but, it’s truly a work-in-progress that will most certainly evolve as I continue to develop and exhibit the images and data.

On October 27th, the US Mission’s Green team gathered for a demonstration of the Mission’s electric bicycles (or “e-bikes”). The e-bikes are available for travel by Mission employees to meetings and conferences around Geneva and are part of the Mission’s ongoing commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. The group discussed important features of the e-bikes, safety and storage tips, as well as best practices in e-bike riding. The e-bikes are already a popular transportation choice at the Mission and we expect that this demonstration will only enhance the popularity of this clean transit option.
