I hope to have it on the market in there near future. It will save the consumers money and help the environment.<br /><br />Have you ever been in a grocery or department store and ever notice how many brands of paper towels are out there and how large the sets of paper towel products are within these establishments? I bet you have not because most people are over taxed in their everyday life so their like on auto pilot and would not notice these hidden markets that have a negative effect on our local and global environment. <br /><br />I have invented a solid paper towel waste reduction product and am not sure how to get some exposure for it. My invention is cloth towel dispenser. I call it the I.C.T.S. individual cloth towel system which dispenses individual cloth towels for drying the hands or for general clean up needs. It's just like a paper towel dispenser in size but it’s a cloth towel dispenser which eliminates paper towel use which will eliminate the solid paper towel waste created by paper towel use that is bad for our environment.<br /><br />When I speak with industrial linen/laundry companies all of which seem to say they are a "Green Company" they apparently supply paper towel products to their customers and make nice profits from the repeat sales of paper towels to their customers so they really don't want to see a product like my invention which will cut into their profit margins out there in the mass markets reducing paper towel waste. My cloth towel dispenser reduces paper towel solid waste which cannot be recycled and mainly has to be burned or buried.<br /><br />One medium sized invention of my cloth towel dispenser holds 200 towels and when the towels are laundered 75 times will replace 45,000 single fold paper towels which is equivalent to 8.5 miles of paper towels laid end to end.<br /><br />I would think most green companies out there would be interested in looking into an invention like mine to see how it would work within their services or inventory. <br /><br />I am not sure how to get the exposure to get individuals and businesses to check out and consider my invention information. <br /><br />I have a video presentation which shows my prototype in action on my kickstarter site:<br />https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2091539073/icts-is-an-individual-cloth-towel-system-dispenser<br /><br />Do you have any suggestions of companies or individuals to contact who you may think would be interested in looking over the information about my solid paper towel waste reduction invention or know how I can get my green invention some exposure?<br /><br />Thank you for your time and courtesies’.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611483296220582184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-21809470142224457982013-07-14T10:18:48.526+01:002013-07-14T10:18:48.526+01:00London is flat and rainy, but there's a layer ...London is flat and rainy, but there's a layer or gault clay underneath it. If you built a suite of disposable nuclear reactors underneath the gault layer there would be no issues with ground water movement.

Some, like Mira and Axona, have very high tolerance while others like Blue Danube and Kifli are moderately tolerant. There are seven varieties in all with different maturities and uses in the kitchen. I have not heard of them failing to produce a crop when properly managed. It is interesting that Irish organic growers have "discovered" Sarpos,love them and want more of them. This is fortunate for our struggling, not-for-profit Sarvari Research Trust. These varieties are Nationally Listed and are available now. They did not succumb to Blue 13 late blight, like most other tolerant varieties.corbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966247640001721270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-48256426865010322162013-01-29T20:33:04.204+00:002013-01-29T20:33:04.204+00:00Do I detect a groundswell of people who really wan...Do I detect a groundswell of people who really want to utilise the 'good' GM and have appropriate GMOs (a term which has become almost pejorative)available to organic growers? N.B. I have not intentionally removed any comments so, at present, there are three organic growers who are - like me - cautiously in favour of organic standards adopting selected GMOs.

However, popular press has created a war and forced folks to take sides without possessing a full understanding of the implications of either side. I'm not familiar with potato farming specifically, but I do see a place for genetic modifications that are not tied to dependency on and additional input; RoundUp for instance. This eliminates SOME of the profit drive, but then how do you prevent profit focused organizations from controlling/directing the focus of genetic modifications? They typically house the forefront in technological advances, backed by the capital to mass produce and market. So if the focus comes back to profit for an entity, other than the producer, then have we traded one misguided direction for the next?<br /><br />Thanks Again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359811124381543423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-10947119965053175342013-01-28T15:32:21.056+00:002013-01-28T15:32:21.056+00:00Completely agree.

As an organic farmer, we have found that with crop rotations we don't need RR, but there are some genes (like drought resistance) that would be very helpful.Emily @Zweber Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490327158057179590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-83371584282449013972012-06-28T20:25:57.348+01:002012-06-28T20:25:57.348+01:00LOVE the idea! with all the conveniences like time...LOVE the idea! with all the conveniences like time shifted tv viewing.

I am a chemical engineer and have been involed in environmental issues for 30 years. I decided to see if there was any added heating effect due to combustion energies released. So I did the calculations and to my surprise they showed that all the atmospheric heating could be explained by the energy output of the fuels we use. <br />There is no need for a greenhouse effect and claiming there is will drive us away from the real cause. if you are interested in this please check out my blog. http://bit.ly/caSrNc <br />Selwyn Firth Toronto, CanadaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25364882.post-29451768927613787542010-09-18T04:54:42.506+01:002010-09-18T04:54:42.506+01:00North Pole Trek in 5 Days!

Charged with purity of heart, clear intention and willingness to serve, Parvati is making this courageous journey to a small, desolate island in the Arctic Ocean known as Ward Hunt Island, where less than one month ago, a chunk of ice the size of Bermuda spontaneously calved off the glacier. She will become the first ever to perform at the magnetic North Pole, and will offer her songs to help raise awareness of the global ecological impact of the melting polar ice caps.
