So there are two critical things you can do to prevent this.
There is a button outside that gives the power directly to your Air Conditioning Unit, turn that off in Winter.
Then before you turn the inside unit on, just tap it to get rid of the nest geckos in there and then you are good to go.
The motherboard on the inside is always receiving current even when it is ON so take away the comfort factor.
So that is why Geckos find this the best nesting space in Winter. It's like a fire place to them.
So hopefully this little tip of how to live with an air conditioner and geckos in the tropics and not have to make a claim on your 5 month old air conditioner because geckos are not in your warranty plan. You are at the whim of a generous brand but even then they have to be able to recycle that e-waste and that is still getting to commercial stage.
Things are happening, we have been in some interesting rooms.
We will keep you posted as things progress both here and in our Resources tab.
It is just post the Queensland Election of 2024 and the Liberal Party have 8 years at best to deliver a Net 0 Runway in Northern Australia where there is waste data gaps in this space.
This can really be a design brief for our STEM students on how to keep Geckos out of the main brand design Air Conditioners, Product Designers are going to be like the Web Designer boom that we had in the past decade.
Net 0 = reusing, servicing, designing out, processing in place,
refuse, reduce, redesign
in a nutshell.
Even when you buy a good product if you are living close to nature, which we want to do even moreso then we need to develop clever ways to design the messy overlap between animal and human because our fear of it has made us kill 69% of the species left after the Ice Age.
The Holocene Epoch, the period is what we are just leaving is super short in comparison to others which have gone for 100's of millions of years.
This connects to Air Conditioner waste and how to reduce and then redesign.
Mining has contributed a lot to Climate Change over the past 125 years.
The King has just had multiple protests on his recent visit to Australia; treaty, cost of their visits on Australians, and Greens First Nations Senator, all women, 2 cultures. And the Samoan visit was about staying within
1.5 - the Paris Climate Agreement, while asking for Climate Justice and Mitigation that needs to be done and how to reduce Australia's increasing mining carbon footprint.
As an Annex1 country our mining clients have to pay for the impacts of climate change on a warming and rising ocean. Arguing the science so that they wouldn't have to shorten the commercial use of the mines before they reached their asset cliff - no longer safe or feasible to run.
Any new mine that is being opened is not only going to have bear the costs of a short mining life and also pay for the Climate Justice claim on them being developed in the UN with a data modelling tool developed by Kate Raworth. As we speak.
As mining companies wish to stay relevant in the new economy, mining is needed in the circular economy but a lot less of it & with an auditable Slavery Act Prevention and Reparation policy, they also
need to get their cheque books out and start funding the environmental reparation of the impact of ignoring or modelling the science for their benefit.
Lithium batteries will be designed out as it was previously a solution but with it's safety concerns continually growing the innovations coming out of waste, like Graphene, will help us get down to using only 30% of the earths virgin resources and still thriving as an economy.
The linear economy is so wasteful even though it is filled with economies of scale. Because of designed obsolescence.
When we design that out we will see a lot of business models start to disappear.
The circular economy is old school working with and buying from the people who make what you need as close to you as possible. Circular Economy is rollback and innovation.
Predictive and Gap Analysis Data, feedback loops, equality.
Everything else will fall into place.
We need scalable e-waste solutions yesterday, luckily they are on their way to our region, with this system then over time we will have less and less demand on virgin resources.
We do not need Uranium mines for
green nuclear because a closed loop zero waste one has been designed that uses the nuclear waste as it's main resource.
By Bill Gates, hence go watch his doco on Netflix, he's human in it.
In Africa people are experiencing loss of land and lifestyle because of our demands on previous minerals.
There are wars and war crimes happening all over the planet because of mining.
