They say necessity is the mother of invention; the need to speak to a person over long distances led to the invention of the telephone and the invention of the car enabled us to travel great distances in a short space of time. But necessity can also be looked at in other ways. Whereas most inventions create something that didn’t exist before there are some inventions that improve something that was there already.
Often this process is carried out to improve design and make things more user-friendly but it can also be carried out with improved performance in mind, which makes economic sense. Garden equipment, and in particular garden irrigation equipment have changed out of necessity, considerably, in recent years because of environmental and economic reasons.

As part of the California Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32) the Air Resources Board (ARB) has approved an early action measure to reduce high-global warming potential (GWP) greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions by establishing new legislation and defining requirements related to improved monitoring of AC/HVAC systems, enforcement of regulations, reporting of refrigerant usage, and recovery, recycling, or destruction of high-GWP refrigerant gases.
Refrigerant gases can contribute to the major problem of global warming. Refrigerant gases, such as R-22, are contained in AC, HVAC, or more commonly called HVAC-R systems. HVAC systems show up in a myriad places, including hotels, hospitals, military bases, schools and universities, supermarkets, cold storage warehouses, food preparation, processing and service, recreational facilities, office, commercial and industrial facilities and industrial and manufacturing processes.

Don’t just throw away your candle scraps. Candles can be reused, reduced, and recycled. Here are some ways that you can help the environment by recycling your candles:
1) Reuse
Small bits of candles can serve other functions aside from lighting. Excess candles can be used as a pincushion. It can even enhance your sewing process. When you stick a pin or a needle in a candle, it becomes coated with wax. A wax coating on needles makes it easier to glide on tough fabrics.
