Major Hydroponics System Retailer Updates Grow Box Site











Hydroponic Systems


Northridge, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

It’s a new year, and at SoCal-based hydroponics retailer Dealzer, top staffers are hard at work adding new high-tech catalog items, building new sales and discounts for customers, and staying on top of offering the most current cutting-edge grow systems for any home or commercial project.

The Dealzer site boasts an amazing array of hydroponic gardening products, from single accessories to full-sized and fully stocked hydroponic systems. Many of these designs are automated and loaded with the best new features for low-maintenance gardening and high-quality results. Top kits come with award-winning nutrient solutions, as well as specific technologies for lighting, air handling, water feeding and environmental controls like optimal carbon dioxide levels. The available grow systems offered at Dealzer come in all shapes and sizes, from small, compact systems to massive grow tents promising enormous harvests – buyers can also get versatile portable systems, or durable grow boxes with more rigidly structured frames or even privacy and security features.

“We rebuilt our hydroponic solutions to fit the needs of our customers,” says Maria Spear, manager of Dealzer. Spear adds that every year continues to see a lot of dynamic changes in the hydroponic gardening industry, and retailers spend a lot of time researching innovative technology and new science in order to get customers more of the best designs that have just come on the market. “It’s a lot of hard work,” says Spear, “but it keeps us really serving the customer base that we build over time.”

Building a fully featured e-commerce site for indoor gardeners is exactly what Spear and her team have done. Prospective buyers can browse detailed product pages that provide clear and accurate pricing, along with in-depth descriptions of the accessories and features that come with each grow system, explaining how each one works and how they will help buyers to get bigger, healthier plants each time they are used.

“We don’t just list products,” says Spear, “We tell the customers about them. That way they can figure out exactly what’s out there and what they really need.”

At Dealzer, the diverse grow catalog reflects an understanding that what’s best for one project may not be the right for another. Any kind of grower can find something compatible with their plans at this easy-to-use web portal.

The digital clock that’s front and center on the Dealzer main page reminds growers that 2012 has come, and it’s time to take a look at updating obsolete or outdated hydroponic gardening tools and resources. This site can help home or commercial hydroponic project managers to do the spring cleaning that will get them better design in a grow room or space, to remain truly competitive in this fast changing industry.

Fiona Harvey on International Climate Change Negotiations Post-Copenhagen

Written by admin on January 24, 2012 · 2 Comments

Perspectives from France and the UK About the Event: Copenhagen for some did not live up to expectations, for others it achieved all that could reasonably be expected. One thing is sure: the Copenhagen Accord has introduced a great deal of uncertainty into international climate negotiations. Many, from politicians, academics, investors and environmentalists are trying to figure out what will happen next. Our two speakers, both close observers of international negotiations, will offer contrasting perspectives on the outcome of the conference and future direction of international negotiations on the path to Mexico in December 2010. Mr. Lalonde will take a French and an individual perspective on international climate change negotiations and will consider the outcomes from Copenhagen, the likely consequences, identifying measures which need to be taken in light of the conference. Fiona Harvey will explain why, from her perspective, the widespread coverage of Copenhagen calling it a failure was mistaken, and argues that actually the summit achieved most of what it was meant to. About the Speakers: Brice Lalonde is chair of the Sustainable Development Roundtable for the OECD, and is the former French Minister for the Environment (1988 to 1992). Mr. Lalonde now also serves as a senior advisor for state environment agencies, as well as consulting to major companies and local governments in the fields of environment, energy, and development.

Tuna Time

Written by admin on January 22, 2012 · 1 Comment

The Northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is a species of tuna in the Scombridae family. It is variously known as the Atlantic bluefin tuna, giant bluefin tuna (for individuals exceeding 150 kilograms or around 330 pounds) and formerly as the tunny. Atlantic bluefin are native to both the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Atlantic bluefin have become extinct in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. The Atlantic bluefin tuna is a close relative of the other two bluefin tuna species—the Pacific bluefin tuna and the southern bluefin tuna. Atlantic bluefin tuna are capable of reaching well over 450 kilograms (992 lb) in weight, and rival the black marlin and blue marlin as the largest Perciformes. Throughout recorded history, the Atlantic bluefin tuna has been highly prized as a food fish. Bluefin have been a valuable commercial catch from the time of the ancient Greeks and Phoenicians to the modern era. Besides their commercial value as food, their great size and the speed and power they display as apex predators has attracted the admiration and respect of both ancient and modern fishermen, as well as writers, sport anglers and scientists. The Atlantic bluefin tuna has been the foundation of one of the world’s most lucrative commercial fisheries. Medium-sized and large individuals are heavily targeted for the Japanese raw fish market, where all bluefin species are highly prized for sushi and sashimi. This commercial importance has led to severe …

Humanity’s Humanity’s Footprint: Momentum, Impact, and Our Global Environment

Written by admin on January 17, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Humanity’s Humanity’s Footprint: Momentum, Impact, and Our Global Environment

For the first time in history, humans have exceeded the sustaining capacity of Earth’s global ecosystems. Our expanding footprint has tremendous momentum, and the insidious explosion of human impact creates a shockwave that threatens ecosystems worldwide for decades-possibly centuries.

Walter K. Dodds depicts in clear, nontechnical terms the root causes and global environmental effects of human behavior. He describes trends in population growth, resource use, and global environmental impacts of the past two centuries, such as greenhouse effects, ozone depletion, water pollution, and species extinctions and introductions. Dodds also addresses less familiar developments, such as the spread of antibiotic resistant genes in bacteria and the concentration of pesticides in the Arctic and other remote ecosystems. He identifies fundamental human activities that have irreversible effects on the environment and draws on recent social science and game theory results to explain why people use more than their share. Past behavior indicates that as resources grow scarce, humans will escalate their use of what remains instead of managing their consumption. Humanity’s Footprint paints a lively but ultimately sobering picture of our environmental predicament. Dodds calls for a consilient approach to socioenvironmental restoration that draws on new thinking from across disciplines to develop sustainable solutions to global environmental problems.

Footprint: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Extinction

  • Entertaining to read and easy to understand
  • Engaging examples and illustrations help explain the science of global warming
  • Offers ideas to increase your energy awareness
  • Explains the most sensible alternatives to fossil fuels
  • Shows that we can stop global warming if we act now

Footprint is an entertaining and easy to understand guide to global warming, energy awareness, and renewable energy. This is how readers describe the book: “Whereas Al Gore, James Hansen and others focus on a political or a scientific solution, Footprint focuses on the role of the individual as an energy consumer. Dozens of energy saving tips, most of which cost little or nothing, demonstrate how Americans can reduce their personal carbon footprint by at least 50% regardless of where and how they live. With charming and captivating illustrations this delightful 260-page journey takes the reader from energy oblivion to energy awareness. The journey ends on a strong note of hope with a glimpse of the renewable energy future that is just around the corner as more and more of us heed the call.” (by Richard Taylor, Business Owner, Potomac, MD) “Fans of Hot, Flat and Crowded will find this book much easier to pass on and recommend to friends and colleagues interested in learning more…This book would be an excellent resource in science and math classrooms [because it] keeps the reader engaged.” (by Kate Lundin, Environmental Science MBA) “Hooray! Here is a great handbook for those of us who prefer the simple, the practical, and the truth, written…by a person that has been in the trenches for the last 30 years resolutely talking the talk and walking the walk. His message, though not new, is clear: if we want to change the outcome of the looming future, we must change ourselves. If you and I could reduce our footprint as much as John Patterson has reduced his, the future would be a whole lot rosier.” (by Gary Munkoff, Editor, Green Living Journal) Footprint is a must read for anyone who wants to understand why top scientists all over the world are so concerned about global warming and climate change.

Brock International Prevents Sports Concussions From the Ground Up

Brock International Prevents Sports Concussions From the Ground Up










Boulder, CO (PRWEB) January 12, 2012

According to recent statistics reported by the Centers for Disease Control, emergency room visits for sports- and recreation-related Traumatic Brain Injuries, including concussions, has increased among youth by 60% during the past decade. While parents, organizations, coaches and athletes debate the need for specialized helmets or harsher penalties on players who tackle above the neck, Brock International prevents concussions by starting with the playing field itself.

“More comprehensive education, better technique and treatment immediately following traumatic brain injuries is essential,” says Brock CEO Dan Sawyer, whose shock pad and drainage layer used underneath synthetic turf playing fields reduces the likelihood of traumatic brain injury by up to 50%, “We can also prevent more concussions by starting from the ground up and building safer fields that enhance playing characteristics and speed.”

A growing number of teams understand this thinking, like the University of Oregon Ducks. The 2011 Rose Bowl and Pac-12 Champions place a high value on the safety of its student-athletes. Their synthetic turf playing field, designed to maximize playability and safety, includes Brock’s shock pad and drainage layer underneath the surface. The same is also true of Stanford University, Boise State and others interested in making the game as safe as possible.

While concussions may occur in any sport or recreational activity, http://www.stopconcussions.com notes football is the number one sport for this type of injury for players of all ages. A study commissioned by the NFL found that ex–pro players over age 50 were five times as likely as the national population to receive a memory-related-disease diagnosis. Just two days ago, a group of former players filed a group concussion lawsuit against the NFL.

Research firm BioMechanica, LLC studied the estimated risk of head injury on synthetic turf surfaces with Brock underlayment and found the product reduces the likelihood of traumatic brain injury by up to 50%, provides the same G-Max and playability as a pristine natural grass field and mitigates field hardening over time. In evaluating Head Injury Criteria (HIC), also known as critical fall height, Sports Labs LLC found that Brock PowerBase offered significant improvement in HIC when compared to a turf field that featured a stone base.

However, you don’t have to sacrifice optimum playing field characteristics and speed for safety thanks to Brock PowerBase. G-Max is an ASTM measurement used to determine the likelihood of a head injury. A well-maintained natural grass field reads about 90 – 110 g’s, and will deform under running loads between 4-8 mm. But natural grass fields are often overused, and high performing, fast synthetic grass fields can be stiff and lack this level of impact absorption. While synthetic turf fields constructed with pads or e-layers underneath provide greater safety, they can feel unnaturally bouncy or too soft, which leads to greater player fatigue. Brock PowerBase has engineered an effective solution; the average G-Max rating of a field constructed over PowerBase is 95-100g’s, the same as a professional level, perfectly maintained natural grass field, without being too soft.

About Brock International:

Brock International is the leader in performance base systems for synthetic turf. With over 20 million square feet of Brock Performance Base in play underneath athletic fields worldwide, the company engineers the best, safest and most sustainable playing surfaces in the world for athletes at all levels. Brock has handled hundreds of successful installations for clients ranging from NFL teams and major universities to community parks. In October 2011, Brock became the first company in the industry to have a Cradle to Cradle Certification CM for its combined drainage and shock pad product. Offering the only product in the market that can be closed loop recycled, the company’s technologies reduce the overall energy cost of constructing a field by 50%. Made in an ISO and TS certified manufacturing facility of 100% recyclable and non-toxic material, Brock PowerBase is certified to the world’s most stringent environmental standards.

A Year After the Deepwater Horizon Spill, The Nature Conservancy Calls for Restoration in the Gulf of Mexico

Written by admin on January 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment

A Year After the Deepwater Horizon Spill, The Nature Conservancy Calls for Restoration in the Gulf of Mexico












Arlington, VA (PRWEB) April 19, 2011

On the first anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, The Nature Conservancy calls for long-term, large-scale restoration of the Gulf’s lands and waters and cites a recent online survey that shows overwhelming support for returning the oil spill fines back to the Gulf to help fund the work.

The Conservancy, with more than 35 years of working in the Gulf, has shown the Gulf’s resilience in numerous projects to restore oyster reefs, seagrass beds, coral reefs and coastal forests and marshes. Restoration is possible in the Gulf, but it will take the efforts and partnership of numerous organizations, from business to non-profits to universities, governments and communities.

“The Gulf of Mexico – one of the most important economic drivers in our nation – is worth the investment in restoration,” said Cindy Brown, Director of the Conservancy’s Gulf of Mexico program. “Cleaning up the oil will not be enough to protect and restore the Gulf of Mexico. To go beyond business as usual, the Conservancy, along with many other environmental and social non-profits, is calling on the federal government to help fund the restoration effort by returning the oil spill fines BP will have to pay back to the Gulf.”

Recent survey findings show strong support for this decision. A survey, conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of The Nature Conservancy from April 12-14, 2011 among 2,018 U.S. adults ages 18 and older, showed that:


    79% of U.S. adults did not know that the fines BP pays will be directed back to the federal government’s treasury instead of directly to the Gulf states, and
    87% think that the fines BP will have to pay for the oil spill should go back to funding improvement of Gulf states and restoration of the lands and waters of the Gulf.

Gulf state senators are already taking up the call and introducing legislation in support of returning Clean Water Act Fines to the Gulf of Mexico to pay for restoration and improvements. Even after decades of hard use, the Gulf is still remarkably productive, but the scale of ongoing damage is increasingly outpacing the resources’ ability to heal and renew itself. Long-term, large-scale restoration of the natural infrastructure – the oyster reefs and seagrass beds, coral reefs and marshes – is necessary to protect the economic and environmental well-being of a natural resource that benefits the entire country.

Methodology: This survey was conducted online within the United States by Harris Interactive on behalf of The Nature Conservancy from April 12-14, 2011 among 2,018 U.S. adults ages 18 and older. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated. For complete survey methodology, including weighting variables, please contact Erin Smith at erin_smith(at)tnc(dot)org.
