"Everyone starts somewhere. The important thing is to get into the game. Some start big, some start small. Until you start and jump in you will always have questions as to how aquaponics works and is it with in my reach. Fact is anyone can do it and be good at it. Will you make mistakes, you bet. But that is OK. Will you KILL fish, yes you will and it will smell bad. But keep on and you will learn what you need to know."

Farm Fountain 4 - funded by the Natural World Museum and exhibited at Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum of New Zealand for the opening of the United Nations Environment Program's World Environment Day. On exhibition in New Zealand until January 2009 as part of the show curated by Randy Jayne Rosenberg Moving Towards a Balanced Earth: Kick the Carbon Habit.

"Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants using water rather than soil). It is an incredibly productive means of growing food, allowing a person to sustain themselves on less than 100m2. Some people with large systems growing 5000 plants a week have reported that, once their system is set up, they earn €1000 a week spending 2 hours a day at work. Aquaponics is ecologically sound and sustainable. Scalable designs for systems are available online. "

"Solar pool heating systems will save you lots of money, and reduce reduce greenhouse gas emissions.



Pool heating is a very good solar application. The systems are simple and relatively inexpensive. Pool systems usually use simple, low cost, unglazed plastic collectors. The pool itself is the thermal storage for the system, and the pump you already use for filtering pool water will also circulate water through the solar collectors. All of this leads to inexpensive systems -- some of the simplest solar pool heating systems cost as little as $100.



Some states offer tax incentives for solar pool heaters."
