Still on our Three Doors Down activity this May, I’ll like to introduce you to another wonderful blog in b5 lifestyle channel called Babylune. The title itself gives you an idea that it is about Babies. From the first 9 months of pregnancy to taking care of your little ones.

Babylune is being run by Eliza Ferree, a mom of four (two boys and two girls). She started taking over the blog just last Feb14 (valentine’s day). With 4 kids under her belt, I think we all have a lot to learn from her.

While doing some blog hopping, I came across a contest. Yep, it is a contest and you are just about to win a Bluetooth headset that does not need batteries. You know why? See, this Bluetooth headset is powered by the sun. So this means that you do not need to buy batteries or wait for your gadget to recharge. That would surely be a good thing to own, dont you think so?

The solar powered Bluetooth headset that is up for grabs is an Iqua SUN 603. According to the post, this is the very first Bluetooth headset in the world that is solar powered. It charges up each time it receives light from the sun so it does not matter if you are outdoors or indoors as long as there is sunlight, then the gadget would work really fine. Now that would be really something.

I think you better head to Cellphone 9s contest. Who knows? You just might be the lucky one.

Who loves beer? Im sure you do. Most of you do. But did you know that those beer bottles could be used as a solar water heater?

With a little creativity, Ma Yanjun, a Chinese carpenter, had decided that he could create a solar water heater. He arranged the bottles in rows on a board. All these bottles are connected to a hose. The water would flow through the hose and into the bottles. The bottles which are set on the roof would be heated by the sun. And there comes the heated water.

The creator said, I invented this for my mother. I wanted her to shower at any time more comfortably. A real solar water heater is too expensive to me, so I came up with the idea of making one on my own. I hope this invention can be promoted nationwide, and allow mothers in undeveloped rural areas to have a hot shower.

Nice job!

Last Monday, Kohl Corporation, a company of department stores based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, had announced their plans of expanding their solar program. They are looking at plans of using solar power to more of their stores. In fact, Kohl has announced that they would like to bring the current number up to over 50 more of their stores in the East Coast.

Right now, the company already has put in solar panels in some of their stores and offices in Maryland, Connecticut and New Jersey. The work had started last January and they are already going to start working on the second batch of stores to receive solar panels. Those stores with solar panels would be using only 20% energy from the grid. The rest would be coming from the power of the sun.

If more and more department store chains would be using solar panels, then this sure is going to be a really solar world.

In New Zealand, seven schools would be using power honed from the sun. This is quite an important event because this means that the schools would not be depending on the grid for power. Aside from that, students would also be exposed to the fact that the suns power can be honed to benefit most residents. This is actually a project known as Schoolgen Programme and it is sponsored by Genesis Energy.

The very first school of the seven to get solar panels was the Vardon Primary School. After this school, the other six would follow and the rest is comprised of St. Peter Chanel Catholic School, Hamilton Girls High School, Forest Lake Primary School, Maeroa Intermediate School, Fairfield College, and St. Pauls Collegiate School.

Richard Gordon is the public affairs manager for Genesis Energy and he mentioned, There’s absolutely no cost to the school we’re paying for the installation of the panels and the hardware. It’s all about sustainability we’ve chosen schools because (with students) they have tomorrow’s generation.
