Growing Passion
My name is Brett Stark (EcoAussie) and I am the owner of Ecoble. Growing up in Australia, I moved to the US (Chicago) in 2000 to pursue software engineering career opportunities. Since then, I have gone through many changes including getting married, welcoming a baby into our family and becoming disillusioned with corporate life. In addition, I have watched eco/green topics become much more important, to both myself and the wider, general population. For myself the education, prioritization and promotion of the environment has become my passion.
I can’t claim to have always placed importance on the environment through my life, certainly not as much as I should have. However, I recognize it is not too late and now is the time for myself and others to take the environment more seriously, give it more priority and ensure that future generations can enjoy it. I firmly believe if the world can take some big steps forward with regards to green innovation and sustainability like it has done with technology and other industries, we can obtain a sustainable culture.
Ecoble
Ecoble represents my first step towards building an online promotion and education of environmental topics and lifestyle.
It emphasizes both the value of green living and design as well as its appeal more broadly. Green doesn’t have to mean boring and environmental! Green news isn’t all enviro-hellfire and brimstone! Join us as we explore the good, bad, ugly and amazing from the natural sciences and ecological innovations.

Wind farm development is playing a huge role in a clean energy future. While mass wind power may offer a beneficial energy alternative, the construction of wind farms creates a great deal of controversy - from the destruction of natural habitats and dangers to birds and bats to the actual effectiveness of wind as an energy source. Some even argue that wind farms are ugly, disrupting the scenic c...

Solar ready homes are the latest thing in green building standards. From prewiring to prefabs with solar-ready roofs, there are already plenty of options available. New legislation, like the recently signed solar ready homes bill in Colorado, will ensure that even more homes can easily make use of solar power. Weve compiled a collection of the best solar ready housing options currently on the ...

Image by Lollie-Pop Alternative energy sources are the foundation to a sustainable future. We talk a lot about wind and solar power - for good reason, but there are plenty of other feasible (and not so feasible) options to consider. In previous posts, weve looked at the potential of tornados as alternative source energy and explored the simplistic awe of human power. This post will cover a few...
