From the page: "With the boom in consumption of organic foods creating a pressing need for natural insecticides and herbicides that can be used on crops certified as "organic," biopesticide pioneer Pam G. Marrone, Ph.D., is reporting development of a new "green" pesticide obtained from an extract of the giant knotweed in a report scheduled for presentation here today at the 236th national meeting of the American Chemical Society."

So Wonderful

Most of the times we mean well when we say we would love to stay environmentally friendly and not over consume energy resources. However, it is difficult to keep track of all the energy we spend when we use electricity, gas and water. Resource Monitor, developed by California based eco-tech firm Agilewave is a smart building solution that helps you keep track of your resource consumption. It comes with a Creston control and uses behaviorally driven quantitative feedback to alert the users when they exceed their consumption limits. The alerts are sent via text or email and functions in real time and reflect past and current performance data. A flat panel touchscreen and several meters to track electricity, water and gas consumption are part of this system. This could very well be the answer to those who would like to keep track of their energy usage and regulate energy consumption.
