Sssssssssssup fellas.

Here's a super-cool article that features a super-green building from Era Hijau 1# 2008 that I grabbed at the previous HSE Week 09 stalls. The article was written by Tengku Hanidza Tengku Ismail and Era Hijau is published by Jabatan Alam Sekitar Malaysia. Kids, swap your utopias and krekos for a copy of this super-green mag okayh.

The Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies is located on the Oberlin College campus in Oberlin, Ohio. It's basically an institute where they do researches on how to reduce the damages done on the environment. And from the super-green features they have on their classroom buildings, I'm pretty sure these guys are on the right track on helping mother nature.

The building was designed from it's inside out (the roof, the landscape, the interior, the sun plaza, the lighting and the pond) to serve as the most environmental freindly building ever existed. You guys can, matter fact, should, click on the article above to get a larger view of the page and take a look at the layout of the building. Stunning.

The "Living Machine"

Another research from The Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies that attracted me was the "Living Machine". It brags on imitating the concept of natural purification system at ponds and lakes. The system is mainly used to recycle the water used in the building's toilet. You flush your waste down the bowl and then the water is purified back to it's initial colorless state and sent back to the toilet. Genius right? I know it sounds a lil disgusting right there but hey, if I can't spot the difference and the water looks fresh and new, I'm cool on using that water. =P

I hope one day we'll be able to see every building on this earth using AJLC's environmental friendly system. For more on this, you can head to http://www.oberlin.edu/ajlc.

And owh, dont forget to recycle whenever you can aite. =P
