Chocked full of tips on "living green"

The folks over at littlegreenblog.com are doing big things. Besides providing a ton of PRACTICAL tips on living green from greening your home and how to eat right, they’re planning to delve into building their own LED lights as well!

It’s always great to find people who share similar views on the toxicity of CFL’s and they hit the nail on the head with this post:

saying that CFL’s are just an interim solution to energy efficient lighting. It’s sad to hear that even in the UK, quality LED light bulbs still aren’t readily available. It’s people like Richard over at littlegreenblog.com who  take an active role in spreading the word for LED lighting that we appreciate.

Richard comes from an Electrical Engineering background and plans to build his own LED lights using his home as a testbed and showing homeowners how they can build their own lights that put out usable quality light. From what Richard has said, he’s been experimenting with LED chips that put out 1000+ lumens!

We’re excited to see it, and you can guarantee we’ll keep you all posted when he comes out with his writeup.

Wheres the number for my lawyer?

In fact, if I were make a real life version of that, that’s exactly what I’d do. Except instead of soil, it would be powered by pure awesomeness. Actually you could call this a solar-powered lightbulb and you wouldn’t be too far off. Looks really clean to boot. If I ever get a thumb green enough, I’ll try this and post it up.

At least I know what I can do with the bulbs I’m not using anymore
