Going green was theme of our holiday gift-giving this year |
| 12/26/2009 12:32:45 AM |
 There are so many ways that you can easily go about going green and help stave off global warming—even when it comes to gift giving over the holiday season. For starters, my family has all been trying to do our part with regards to going green. This year we took all of the wrapping paper and carefully stowed it in packaging so that we could recycle it and do our part by... Read More

Older brother used free electricity from solar panels to buy Xmas tree and gifts this year! |
| 12/23/2009 2:59:38 AM |
 My older brother Adam has some great solar panels that he installed on his roof at the start of this year – he is really big about going green. He has saved so much money on his electric bill throughout the year that he was able to actually buy all of his Xmas presents and his Xmas tree. He called me up yesterday and told me that by going green using solar panels he was... Read More

Last Step to Going Green Before Holiday Travel |
| 12/20/2009 10:45:09 AM |
 Well it is that time of year again. I have to say this is probably the busiest few days for travel in the country. A few of my friends have already hit the airport, I’m getting a couple things done then leaving and my roommates are on their way soon. Since we will all be gone for at least a week, I am doing the last couple things around here to save on electricity. Sadly,... Read More |

International Global Warming Talks Drawing Lines in Sand |
| 12/17/2009 4:54:17 AM |
 Global Warming has been a huge topic of discussion over the past few weeks. First, all the naysayers got a win when alleged emails from highly regarded climate scientists leaked which proved to some that Global Warming was nothing more then a scare tactic. Those emails were quickly debunked and called untrue by officials behind the scandal. Now the international Climate... Read More |

Going Green Is Simple and Can Be Global |
| 12/11/2009 10:02:08 AM |
 Today there was a survey in my email inbox so I filled it out. It was from the Clinton Foundation and asked respondents to tell them what they thought the number one priority of their activities should be, so I wrote them that I told them that I thought helping people in the US and in other countries with going green would be a good use of their resources. It's actually... Read More |

Going Green To Save Money |
| 12/8/2009 7:19:27 AM |
 I recently heard one of my husband’s politically conservative relatives say that he wasn’t worried about going green because he thinks the whole global warming thing is a huge con. I think there are quite a few people who don’t trust what the authorities are saying about global warming, but there are other reasons for going green besides protecting the environment. My...

No Need to Sacrifice Comfort When Going Green |
| 12/5/2009 8:19:53 AM |
 Last week when I was looking at ways to heat my home with solar thermal energy online, I ran across a guy who does just that and augments his home's heat by applying bubble wrap to his interior windows. I had some extra bubble wrap laying around, so I tried it and could not believe how much warmer the windows stayed over night, hence the house was a lot warmer, too. It's... Read More |
