Significantly lower energy consumption through proper insulation of buildings
optimal combination of Environmental protection and energy saving in construction
The air conditioning of residential and commercial buildings consumes large amounts of energy. Because it would generate high levels of CO2 emissions within. Thus, in Germany about a third of CO2 emissions is due to the air conditioning of buildings. Much of it is unnecessary. Because energy consumption and associated emissions could be reduced if the homes would be better insulated. Experts estimate the savings through more effective insulation of buildings to approximately € 40 billion over the next ten years. This suggests, of course, not only in a better environmental balance but also in lower costs for homeowners and tenants down.
Many offers promise high savings, and it is therefore important, among the various methods for selecting the one insulation that meets the requirements of sustainable building is the best.
Company COM uses concept on shuttering blocks Neopor
A development of construction technology delivers a surprisingly simple answer: formwork, which has long been used in civil engineering successfully, suitable also outstanding for the construction of optimal insulating house walls. Here in particular have proven formwork elements made of polystyrene foam. Such molds weigh only about 4-5 kg per square meter of wall, to turn them into solid walls of buildings, which it is embedded in cavities are filled with concrete. While the conventional technique complicated formwork building, they poured with concrete, then removed again and then begins with the insulation will be created here practically in a single pass an insulated wall. Meanwhile, BASF has
its polystyrene foam developed and provides them under the name of Neopor. The company is
COM concept for good reasons on insulation which was developed by the BASF foam Neopor: It combines a - compared with traditional materials - very high insulating performance with less raw material. This will the manufacturing cost and therefore the price is kept low for the end user and minimizes the environmental impact of raw material consumption. Moreover Neopor is an environmentally friendly insulation material, it contains no CFC, HCFC, HFC or other halogenated gases cell. Air replaces the gas cell, which has the additional advantage that the thermal conductivity can be obtained over the life of the formwork elements of the house. The material is biologically neutral and free of pollutants, it is even used as food packaging and the groundwater is not affected by its degradation - on the contrary, rigid foam waste is mixed in gardening in the ground and support the growth of plants or composting.

Pretty Womanpolk A Dot
night thoughts
2.5 years I have been living here on my farm, since 1.5 years I think animals over 1 year before the first calf born. By then it was clear that I did not rob the milk and they can be fobbed off with milk powder, so I will, consequently, no cheese, etc. . Make
I think cattle, an ancient race that is threatened with extinction. In its heyday it was the "Butterkuh of the North", ie a high producing a profitable breeding race. Now I get so high-yielding cow from the day before yesterday. And for what? In order to produce their descendants continue to milk or meat for a ökobewusste Elite? The assumed the leading role, has yet to go back to very similar structures?
If the long-term goal should be, on meat and dairy consumption to give general information, reasons there are finally some, then it makes little sense to get an operating branch of its stock of natural, annually doubled in clear text (!): Milk production is calf production, ie a year per cow, a calf, ie, from a 20-strong herd of a 40 -person, or in other words, the Germans would have 4 million cattle annually eat (2010 total cattle population of around 12 million, of which about a third calves up to one year, PM Federal Statistical Office Germany, 07.01.2010) to provoke not only to further growth , reduction of meat no trace.
same time can not now live a normal peasant from a herd of 20 cows above, he will increase so try to bring himself and his family make ends meet. More cows is called back with more meat, more milk, over-saturation of the market, falling prices and less income for farmers, more cows, so a vicious circle. Some saddle so early as to, for example poultry, mostly the same on a large scale to be worthwhile, but is now likely that the mechanism will be the same: more poultry, more eggs and meat, too much supply, prices decline, more poultry, etc .
What I'm doing here is considered economically absurd, I hold my cattle without (visible) profit, I do not milk, produce no cheese and no meat. Although I expect in December again baby, but this is a dead end, because I do not want to breed and multiply, so they can be sent to the fattening cattle and dairy farms.
I am not a peasant child who has grown up that are cows and go, that calves are separated from their mothers that are looking for cows their kids and get calves finished milk, that they live to 4-5 in small departments in the stable, as long as they still need to be fed several times a day and only then natural movements like running and jumping meet on the field. But I have watched my calf, which had from the first day of life to a great need to move wanted to test their legs and try out. I have observed the relationship of mothers to their children, the behavior of other herd animals, even a different type. It was particularly interesting for me, was received with curiosity and openness to what the children of other races. I learned a lot in this first short time with my small herd, but a farmer's wife I have not gone.
My dream would be to share my observations to describe the various animal personalities and maybe also to show a new way, which seems to me the only possible one: our responsibility to the individual animal compared to that lives with us and of us depends. Race, however, is a word that is used today and can result in bad excesses. to get old races in order to eat and to use for me - unfortunately! - No goal. But since I do not even ever have to rely on the kindness and emergency financial support of my family wants, it is natural for me now the question in all urgency: What to do?
