How can we strike a better balance with nature, conserve energy and turn to renewable resources, instead of plundering and despoiling the planet? |
Biodiesel is a cleaner burning fuel that can be made from domestic renewable resources such as vegetable oil. |
Furthermore, several lactones, epoxides, and carbon dioxide can be sourced from renewable resources. |
Reduced tillage, crop rotations, and dispersed livestock all reduce energy needs and make more efficient use of renewable resources. |
Equally valid is exploitation of renewable resources, for example, of grass for grazing, papyrus for thatch, or wood for charcoal. |
In recent years a lot of interest has developed around the industrial application of feedstock from renewable resources. |
