They help circulate air inside the home, and the wind effect makes a room feel cooler by 4 degrees or more. Ceiling fans use about the same amount of energy as one 100W light bulb ― less than 10% of the energy required by air conditioners! When running simultaneously with the AC, you can set your AC temperature higher, still enjoy the same comfort level, and run your AC half as much.Many ceiling fans also have a switch that allows you to reverse the direction of the fan in winter, which will push cold air up and force the warm air around the ceiling back down the walls.

Coca-Cola will join forces with NASCAR and the Homestead Miami Speedway to bring recycling to NASCAR fans during the 2009 Ford Championship Weekend November 20 – 22. The event in Homestead, Florida marks the culmination of a season-long effort to encourage NASCAR fans to recycle.
During the 2009 season, Coca-Cola and NASCAR collaborated to bring recycling programs to 14 tracks, and as a result of this initiative more than 2.5 million beverage containers were diverted from landfills into the recycling stream.
For this weekend’s season-ending events, more than 400 Coca-Cola identified recycling bins have been placed around Homestead-Miami Speedway, giving race-goers plenty of opportunities to recycle their used beverage bottles and cans. Fans camping at the RV campground site can recycle their aluminum and plastic beverage containers in special plastic recycling bags provided by
Coca-Cola. A few lucky recyclers at the campgrounds will be rewarded by NASCAR with an exciting track experience – a lap around the track in a pace car, a spot at the drivers’ pre-race meeting, or access to the infield to view the driver introductions.
The Coca-Cola Recycling Education Vehicle will be on hand throughout the race weekend, interacting with fans and rewarding them for recycling. The 40-foot educational trailer features videos and interactive games designed to inform and educate consumers about the importance of recycling. “Our used packaging materials are valuable resources that can be used to manufacture new products. We’re excited to have an opportunity to reach out to NASCAR fans and talk about the impact recycling can have on their communities,” said John Burgess, president of Coca-Cola Recycling.
“This season, key stakeholders and partners throughout the NASCAR industry have launched a number of impactful and measurable programs demonstrating real environmental stewardship,” said Dr. Mike Lynch, Managing Director for Green Innovation at NASCAR. “Among the most notable efforts this year, we’ve made significant progress in solid waste recycling, with Coca-Cola leading the way in fan education and at-track execution.”

ES cutting board. Apart from the incredibly clean form and colour (white works for me every time) I like the slope, which provides run off for liquids into a collection drain rather than on to your work surface.
Preparing food on a cutting board can be a a bit messy but ultimately we still need to have a surface to cut things on. It's an imperfect compromise we make each day. The designer has identified this trade-off and resolved it with this design.
