The interesting thing about cell phone towers is that more is actually better. The more towers the less area each tower has to cover. It then can be run at a lower power. More importantly your cellphone, that you carry in your pocket right next to your reproductive organs or hold up to your brain, can transmit at lower power levels. Now doesn’t that seem like a good idea?. Oh, and your battery lasts longer in a good coverage area.

Fantastic to see that Auckland saved 1% power by switching lights off for Earth Hour. Goes to show that as so many Auckland houses now have Eco bulbs that the power saving was minimal. Well done Auckland!

Being a commuter I have travelled past the Litehouse every working day, twice a day.It has been complete for some time now,and I have to say, I don’t like it. It may have modern building techniques, it may be energy efficient but it is bloody ugly. I guess we are lucky there is a category for it, the same one the Toyota Prius is in.
