Hello, my name is Freddie and I live in Perth, Australia. Last year, I opened my energy bill and got quite a shock. Even though I try to keep my energy use to a minimum, I still had a bill for several hundred dollars. I was complaining about this to my friend who suggested I look at solar energy. Australia gets a lot of sunshine, so it seemed to make sense. I contacted an energy contractor who came out to my home and installed the equipment. My next energy bill was much lower. I am now looking at installing a small wind farm on my land. I hope you enjoy my blog.

Soil erosion is a characteristic feature of almost every construction site. The amount of earth moving works, machinery, and even people on these sites contributes to massive amounts of loose earth waiting to be transported to other regions.
