Welcome to Ecoble – a blog about Eco/Green Design, Innovation and Sustainability.

Growing Passion

My name is Brett Stark (EcoAussie) and I am the owner of Ecoble. Growing up in Australia, I moved to the US (Chicago) in 2000 to pursue software engineering career opportunities. Since then, I have gone through many changes including getting married, welcoming a baby into our family and becoming disillusioned with corporate life. In addition, I have watched eco/green topics become much more important, to both myself and the wider, general population. For myself the education, prioritization and promotion of the environment has become my passion.

I can’t claim to have always placed importance on the environment through my life, certainly not as much as I should have. However, I recognize it is not too late and now is the time for myself and others to take the environment more seriously, give it more priority and ensure that future generations can enjoy it. I firmly believe if the world can take some big steps forward with regards to green innovation and sustainability like it has done with technology and other industries, we can obtain a sustainable culture.

Ecoble

Ecoble represents my first step towards building an online promotion and education of environmental topics and lifestyle.

It emphasizes both the value of green living and design as well as its appeal more broadly. Green doesn’t have to mean boring and environmental! Green news isn’t all enviro-hellfire and brimstone! Join us as we explore the good, bad, ugly and amazing from the natural sciences and ecological innovations.

    Dear Ser
    I am the owner of a Hunter shelling boat 40.5 ft built at the year of 1998 in Florida. I am interested to cove r the in front deck lighting fiberglass , just behind the mast, with flexible solar collector. There are places to stick a plastic cover in cases you don’t wont a lot of light inside.
    This fiberglass area it is not a orthogonal shape, it is somehow a round one. The biggest is length is 2.17 cm and the width about 50cm varying in different areas. My question to you is the follow.
    1. If I send you a patron pauper of the fiberglass area can you tailor the cover solar collector so I can have a larger working area?
    2. is the provided electricity sufficient for the two small refrigerators that they exist in the boat?
    3. what is the cost ?
    4. any suggestion ?

    I HAVE BEEN SOUNDLY ENCOURAGED AND GROUNDED IN THE FUTURE OF SOLAR AND GREENING SINCE THE 70'S. I KNEW I WOULD LIVE TO SEE IT GET 'LIVELER' . I NOW SEE THE SPIKING OF AN EXCELLENT FUTURE IN THE MANUFACTUERING AND USE OF THIS GREAT KNOWLEDGE. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS AND THE GREATER ECONOMIC STABILITY FOR THIS GREAT COUNTRY IS IN THIS PATHWAY.
    THE MATTER AT HAND IS GETTING TO THE FUTURE GENERATION WHO MUST BECOME THE CARETAKERS OF IT. THEY NEED TO OPEN SMALL FACTORIES (IN EVERY STATE ) BUILT AND DESIGNED ON THE IN THE PROOFS OF THIS TECHNOLOGY. ) FOR YOUNG STUDENTS TO WORK AND LEARN THIS . THIS MUST START AT A VERY EARLY AGE IN ORDER THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO UNDERSTAND AND ADVANCE IN THE KNOWLEDGE. THEY WILL THEN ALWAYS KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE EXCLUSIVE IMPORTANTS AND POWER OF THESE EARTH SAVING SUPPORT SYSTEMS . THEY MUST BE SURROUNDED BY THE PROOFS ON A DAILY GROWING BASIS !!!
