| The Carbon Footprint Of Log Homes And Timber Frame Homes | | 2008-08-10 15:43:00 | | Log Homes and Timber Frame Homes may have the lowest carbon footprint of any other type of construction. A carbon footprint is the measurement of carbon dioxide released as a result of using a particular product or other human activity. Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere and major contributor to global warming.A report prepared by the Edinburgh Center for Carbon Management (ECCM) compared the carbon dioxide footprints of three structures and the benefits when more timber was introduced into the construction. The results were astounding. ECCM estimated that there could be up to an 88% reduction of greenhouse gases by using log or timber structural elements wherever possible rather than other conventional building materials. The reduction of greenhouse gases was achieved by replacing materials high energy, high CO2 production values, such as steel and concrete, with solid wood. The report states that the production of steel and concrete materials accou | | By: Global Warming Articles - Information on Global Wa | | |

| | Tuskers and Timber Elephants | | 2007-03-27 06:26:00 | | Great civilisations to flourished here, in Sri Lanka, over a thousand years ago.

Now, the large groups of elephants which come here (Uda Walawe National Park) to feed include females who are ready to breed.
