Please read the CONTEST GUIDELINES before participating in this contest.

green machines
Contest Goal:
Photograph a piece of equipment that has a low energy/carbon footprint. Could be a bicycle, hand tools that do not need electricity or even solar panels or a wind farm. There can be people in the picture, but they need to be using the equipment. People are not required though.

Contest comments:

nofue: Would simple hand tools, like screw drivers or wrenches, fit the goal? (2 years and 274 days ago)
karaflazz: Outbackjack said that hand tool is OK as long as they don't need electricity...i thing is ok! (2 years and 274 days ago)
nofue: Well, I can actually read -- and the title says "machines". Calling a screwdriver a machine seems to be quite a twist of language, and I want to get this straight early... (2 years and 274 days ago)
serious: I can read too.....the description says hand tools that do not need electricity, a screwdriver, hammer, vice grips, clamps, levels, etc. are hand tools that do not need electricity. These tools are also available with electricity/batteries which would not apply to this contest. (2 years and 274 days ago)
Gubbles: My entry "tools from the past" in this contest has just been removed coincidently considering my recent forum post. The reasoning given is there were more than one tool in the photo. In the guidelines above it reads " could be a bicycle, hand tools taht don't need electricity " tools as in plural. My photo had one comment on it before being removed which was complimentary with no objection. I'm finding it hard to believe it would have been red-flagged, Can moderators remove an entry that has not been red-flagged nofue? (2 years and 269 days ago)
Gubbles: There are entries showing more than one wind mill including my own. Should they also be removed nofue? (2 years and 269 days ago)
Contest Moderator: 'a piece of equipment' -> it will be OK if more of the same are in the frame, but no collections, flea markets, whatever. (2 years and 269 days ago)
Gubbles: They were all the same tool, wooden hand planes of various sizes once used in the manufacture of furniture, hardly a flea market! (2 years and 268 days ago)
kyricom: The theme is "green machines" = plural. "Hand tools" = plural. "solar panels" = plural. "wind farm" = plural (1 windmill does not make a farm). "People" using the equipment = plural. (2 years and 268 days ago)
