Small scale sustainable energy solutions developed within SPARE and the role of nuclear power in climate change were among the topics when Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) met in Bonn at the UNFCCC Climate Change Talks (Subsidiary Bodies 28), where delegates from all countries are cooporating in technical working groups to prepare for the Climate negotiations later this year in Poznan, Poland.
Windows Restoration
Many people automatically think that they have to replace their old wooden windows when they notice that they've rotted. Frequently, however, there is no need to replace them at all. The problem is the fact that the wood used in replacement sashes is low quality. People will find that the original wood used in the sashes may be old hardwood, which can turn out to be quite easy to repair and restore, with using a just a little bit of putty and caulk or epoxy in the joints.
Energy efficiency - Most wooden windows can be made nearly as energy efficient as new double pane windows. Most energy (warm or cool) is lost as a result of loose fitting sash. These problems can quickly be solved by home-owners or professionals using easily obtainable materials. With properly installed storms and weatherized windows, you can save money on energy and protect the value and aesthetics of your original windows.
