Hurricane Katrina made a mess out of New Orlean … The situation was really terrible and devastating. One of the most difficult tasks was rebuilding of the ruined city.

One part of the process was restoration of the old cypress trees in City Park and its New Orleans Botanical Garden.

Here comes an example of American love to nature and possibility to make great things with minimum money.

I have seen tree house but I have never seen houses made from whole trees. The following one is the first I’ve ever met. I must admit – it looks really fantastic and very unusual. BTW, this house is a very affordable one and it will allow you to live in full accordance with nature.

Natural Green Fuel Sources

I am extremely glad to announce that wood is making a great comeback as a perfect source of green fuel. I perfectly understand such exclamations as: it can’t be true and what about the smoke and the carbon dioxide emissions?

Experts at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) have already proved that such questions are nothing else but nonsense. Since wood when burned always releases only the exact amount of carbon dioxide it has absorbed when growing. So wood can’t change climate and can’t make any harm as well.

The only one recommendation we are welcome to give you – find out the calorific values of woods before burning them. For instance, oak is a perfect burning material, it provides a lot of energy and conifers are the worst, they provide less heat.
