I NTRODUCTION

Deep inside, every conservationist hates waste. They love to save energy, prevent using unnecessary product packaging and want to reuse items in new ways. Yet, most green books just provide a long list of energy, and product manufacturing statistics, and only fundamental recycling tips. However, when you learn how to reuse or re-adapt broken or discarded items into other useful gear, you save money, reduce air pollution, and gain a sense of contentment that comes with self-reliance. Thats what Sneaky Green Uses for Everyday Things does.

It provides an easy way to learn: the fundamentals of energy production, alternative energy science projects, sneaky recycling techniques, and fun reuse activities. You dont have to be MacGyver to give gadgets a second life. Anyone can learn how to be a real-life improviser in minutes using nothing but paper, cardboard, and other hodgepodge items fate has put at his or her disposal. Sneaky Green Uses for Everyday Things is packed with projects and activities all utilizing savvy product reuse applications. For lovers of savvy conservation and recycling activities, Sneaky Green Uses for Everyday Things is an amazing assortment of easy-to-understand energy fundamentals, conservation facts, and over forty innovative reuse projects. After building a project or two, youll be inspired to create other eco-crafts and share your sneaky green designs with your family and friends.

Hopefully they will never look at waste the same way again and perhaps they will even become ecotrashformers themselves! You can start your entry into sneaky green resourcefulness here.

PART I

SNEAKY ENERGY PROJECTS AND SIMULATIONS

Energy affects all of our lives. We depend on it for transportation, industry, and to power our homes, as well as for hundreds of other uses you might never consider. With so many standard and emerging alternative energy sources available, its no wonder that the average person doesnt know the fundamental methods utilized to obtain, produce, and distribute energy. This section includes background details and activities to explain energy fundamentals and help you understand them. Do you know how oil is refined and how biofuels can substitute for gasoline and diesel fuel? Why uranium must be enriched? The difference in a standard gasoline engine and a diesel? If youre curious about how a hybrid car can utilize normally wasted energy during braking or want details about atomic energy then this section is for you.

Youll learn the basic techniques used to obtain energy from coal, oil, gas, the sun, wind, and waterand from the atom. Whether you want to know energy theory or have a guide to making unique energy-related science simulations, this sections projects expand anyones knowledge in a fun and interesting way to help you make more informed choices.

ENERGY FUNDAMENTALS

Energy is what makes things change or move. It is found in many forms, including heat, chemical, light, electrical, and mechanical energy. Kinetic energy is the energy in moving things. Energy that can be stored for later use is called potential energy.

Gases, solids, and chemicals can all store potential energy that may be released later in a variety of ways. For instance, when certain substances, such as coal, are burned, the process releases energy in the form of heat. In a coal-fired electrical power plant, the heat that the released energy produces is used to boil water into steam, which in turn propels turbine blades to power an electrical generator. See . Food, oil, and batteries have potential energy stored within their chemicals. Springs and rubber bands do, as well.

They can be wound up to store strain energy for later use. Energy can be converted from one form or another for practical use. Common energy conversions take place all the time, all around you. For example: The sun provides energy for plants to make food. This food is stored as chemical energy. Chemical energy is stored in consumer batteries, where it is converted into electricity. Chemical energy is stored in consumer batteries, where it is converted into electricity.

The electricity is changed into heat, light, motion, or sound, depending on whether the batteries are in a flashlight, toy, radio, or other device. FIGURE 1FIGURE 2
