SOLAR LIGHTING Throughout the 1900s, the use of the sun as a source of energy has evelved considerably Early in the century, the sun was the primary source of interior light for buildings during the day Eventually, however, the cost, convenience, and performance of electric lamps improved and the sun was displaced as our primary method of lighting building interiors Attempts to use sunlight directly for interior lighting via lens collectors, reflective light-pipes, and fiber-optic bundles were the next step
The most recent technology, hybrid solar lighting, collects sunlight and routs it through optical fibers into buildings where it is combined with electric light in “hydrid” light fixtures Sensors keep the room at a steady lighting level by adjusting the electric lights based on the sunlight available This new generation of solar lighting combines both electric and solar power Hybrid solar lighting pipes sunlight directly to the light fixture and no energy conversions are necessary, therefore the process is much more efficient It is currently being developed and tested by Oak Ridge National Laboratory
in collaboration with the Department of Energy and several industry partners

The scarcity of tigers and African elephants is more and more serious They are endangered because
poachers hunt them in order to sell tiger pelts and elephant ivory
At least 4,000 elephants are killed each year in order to meet the global demand for ivory, which is used
to make carvings, jewelry and other products although it is illegal to sell ivory since 1989 anywhere
“Americans should be aware that there is still a problem with elephant poaching and loss to the illegal ivory trade,” Ginette Hemley, Fund’s Vice President for species conservation, told The Washington Post in
September And so our message is “Don’t buy it, and don’t take that chance”
A Wildlife Fund report states that the United States seized 8,300 illegal ivory items between 1995 and
2002 Each week there are about 1,000 ivory auctions, the report said
As for tigers, their parts are used in traditional Chinese medicine Tiger bones are used as a pain reliever
in traditional medicine Even tiger’s whiskers are sold because some people in Asia think they are a good-luck charm – like a rabbit’s foot in the United States “Part of our job is education,” said Professor Dillon
“The other part is law enforcement So we have more than one strategy.”
