Slowly but surely, it seems as if we are all becoming environmentalists. It seems like it wasn’t that long ago when those who preached about sustainability were derided or at least were partially ignored. Some of the less charitable of us called these people “tree huggers” and as part of our free spending, devil-may-care attitude [...]

We know that we are all creatures of habit and if we can opt to take the easy route, we do. It’s not that we don’t care about issues that we’re not sure we can do anything about, or might affect our heirs and generations in future, but we just don’t focus unless the chips [...]

In all likelihood, making biodiesel may not have entered your mind before. You might on occasion have come across one of those buses, fuelled by soy power and wondered what it was all about, or you might just have had enough of those constant ups and downs at the petrol station. Do you know what [...]

Dr. Rudolf Diesel invented the well known diesel engine, in the 1890s. The engine’s development was basically an answer to the rudimentary steam engines that had been in existence since the auto-mobile emerged. Steam engines were known to be dangerous and could be very unreliable, not like the diesel engine, which was then popular.
Unlike the [...]
