Walter's ecology blog

My theory is that ecology is one of the most important things to defend in the world today but it is only possible if it is made possible for human beings and not only for perfect people. That's why I start this blog. I would like to share what I do and hopefully get cool input from you on what you do for a better planet. That is what I call ecology for normal people. :)

Planning for the future

My next steps in reducing my ecological footprint should be:

  1. Solar installation
  2. Wood pellets based heating add-on
  3. Continuing insulation of some parts of the roof
  4. Mechanical ventilation system
Ok, this is the plan, I keep you updated on reality! :)

Learning to build a solar installation

On Saturday I went to the ecological association called Sebasol in order to learn how to build a solar installation in order to heat water or help heating the house.

It was very interesting and in addition showed that the challenge is completely possible for everyone who does not have two left hands.

As a reminder, in Switzerland a Solar system can cover 80% of the energy required to heat water and 40% of the heating energy. This is a non-neglectable reduction of CO2 and a financial economy.
