Aerial Photo – Wind Turbine Graveyard!
Siemens Gamesa, a leading supplier of wind power solutions, has launched the world’s first 100% recyclable wind turbine blade!
This is a game changer, as many of the older wind turbines are at the end of their lifecycle and destined for landfills!
Wind power is one of the key solutions helping to reverse climate change by producing electricity without using fossil fuels. The new RecycleBlades are being manufactured in Denmark and will be installed at the Kaski offshore wind power plant in Germany.
Have a look at the article to understand these amazing wind turbine blades in greater detail!
Remember, Think Greener!
Can Plasma Change Big Ag???
Research shows, using plasma can be used as a renewable fertilizer to replace ammonia. This is a big deal, as plasma can be generated on site using solar or wind power reducing the need for transporting large amounts of ammonia. This process alone will help reverse climate change.
There are many potential agricultural benefits from plasma, such as increased yield from plants growing larger and faster, fighting off disease and harmful bugs, while preserving food.

Have you ever heard of a Solar Garden? Well today, Think Greener will shine our sustainable spotlight on Agrivoltaics. Pairing solar panels with farmland is a no brainer and is a glimpse into our future!
It is my pleasure to introduce Jack’s Solar Garden, a 24-acre family farm located in Colorado. The farm transformed from traditional farming, growing wheat as a cash crop and hay to feed their cattle. It is the nation’s largest commercially agrivoltaics research system and vegetation growth under solar panels.
This scalable, sustainable practice helps reduce the impact farming has on our natural resources. Farming is extremely energy intensive and creates about one third of greenhouse gas emissions and account for 85% of global water consumption. Some of the benefits of… Continue reading
Thinking GreenerAs Think Greener prepares to hit the road in 2022 and travel the US with a zero-carbon footprint in a self-converted campervan, this solution hits home!
A team of Dutch students designed the world’s first solar powered mobile home, capable of traveling 454 miles in one day! Please see the link here for greater details and more pictures! The camper has a large solar array on the roof that extends vertically to allow for greater headroom when parked, a kitchen, sleeping area, bathroom, and cockpit. When parked it is an efficient 188 sq ft of space.
I look forward to the near future, when larger auto manufactures start to focus on the EV RV market! When they do, I am onboard! For now,… Continue reading
