Natural Living Tips

In the past, we reported on manure powered dairy farms. Now, in Israel, they’re developing a chicken waste powered coop with wind turbines and solar sells. Being touted as the “Coop of the Future,” the Agrotop coop also has special egg collection chutes designed to enable birds to more easily lay eggs – and nearly double the space currently used to house them.

This not only makes the whole operation environmental. It makes it more humane, an issue Naturalbuy is very concerned with.

Under new regulations by the EU set to go into effect in 2012, egg producers will be required [...] Continue Reading…

Altogether, the array provides 100 kilowatts of electricity to the plant. They are teamed up with Green Mountain Power, which has promised to install 10,000 panels in 1,000 days in the [...] Continue Reading…

When I came across this piece of news, my mind immediately fell to the Archaeopteryx. This was a bird/dinosaur combo that flew around 65 million years ago or so. It was purported to be the missing link between birds and reptiles. Apparently, they found another type of these flying reptiles in China.

“The extensive feathering of this specimen, particularly the attachment of long pennaceous feathers to the pes, sheds new light on the early evolution of feathers and demonstrates the complex distribution of skeletal and integumentary features close to the dinosaur-bird transition”, researchers from the Shenyang Normal University wrote.

The fossil [...] Continue Reading…
