Art of being an Environmentalist

At the cost of reiterating a rhetoric let me say that our environment is in shambles. The 2 headed snake of commercialization and capitalism has clawed its fangs upon the ecological system. Industrial pollution has created a havoc in the last decade, much has been said in this regard but very little has been done. At this juncture, it is surprising to come across an eco friendly organization which flips the situation. I am talking about N-Viro International which focuses on conversion of waste to energy.

Oblivious to many of us, this company has been working for the past 2 decades in the field of alternate energy. It licenses its patented technology to municipalities and private companies to treat bio-organic waste. Recording a sales figure of over $40 million dollars, this company has a lot to offer in terms of expertise and technical knowledge. Dealing with issues of renewable energy, this company uses lime and mineral rich combustible products to treat waste water sludge into soil enrichment products with real market value. This company has been managed by Robert Stephens, Raymond James, Oppenheimer and Co., and Paine Webber.

Using state of the art technology the processing operations include physical, chemical and biological reactions to treat biological waste. In many cases, calcium carbonate is obtained as a byproduct which has useful applications. Example: N-Viro recently performed an experiment in Michigan State University in which 2 different fuels were combined and blended with Eastern Ohio coal. The resultant compound was successfully tested to have low air emissions and the boiler (in which the experiment was done) performed efficiently. This company is definitely worth checking.

Need help in Trade Shows!

I came across a great site, named Camelback Displays which sells trade show booths, which is used for exhibition during trade shows. Their coverage in terms of products, is astounding; they sell custom printed table skirts, banner stands, Pipe and Drape etc. Extra components are provided upon request, such as directors chairs, literature Holders, light boxes ect. Custom design products are also available. I like their service policies, which include "free shipping" and "same day shipping" facilities. The cost of their products seem reasonable.

This is a great site for artistic people, who tend to work away from convention and want to add a touch of art to their setup. They help in every department, right from desiging the booth to delivering it. They aid in graphics, presentation, luminious colour display, setting up "state of the art" flooring and various other activities. Example- When I visited their banner stands section, I was highly impressed by the range they have got. They have got all types of stands, and they also help in making custom designed banner stands. They can set up any stand within a minute.

Example- I visited their table skirts section and was highly impressed by their designs; from the simple design to the most ultra modern design, they have got it all. You can have your logo and captions printed on the table skirt. I visited their Pipe and Drape section; Pipe and Drape is a must for making the booths used at trade shows. I conclude that these people are highly systematic in their approach, along with screen shots of various setup, they have also enlisted the price of the components in a tabular manner.

Anyone who has a trade show coming up in the near future, should visit this site.

Art of Comfortable Shopping

I came across a great site, which I want to share with you. The site, named Shopwiki, is a huge database of online shops. What I like about this site, is their coverage; this site virtually connects to all online shops on the internet by means of a powerful search engine. We can compare the prices of a product in various shops and hope to get the best deal, also we would have better exposure and a lot more variey to choose from. The range of products available is excellent.

Example:- When I searched for "Desktop Computers" on this site, I came across a page which gave exhaustive information on all types of desktop computers including pros and cons for each type of product. I came to know about some amazing products and utilities. The specific products are displayed in a systematic tabular manner for easy browsing; the prices of each product is shown and the "number of stores" the product is available in is also shown. Features such as "colour coding" and narrowing the search by mensioning the price range is also is available.

Example- For people who are interested in Jewelry Making, Shopwiki offers various products. I especially liked their beading kit. Shopwiki offers useful tips on how to go about bead making. I also liked their Glass Art section, in which information about various tools and kit are provided.

Do visit this site, I am sure you will enjoy browing through it.
