My wife and I are currently in the market to buy a new car, and this time we are looking at going green by shopping online and around town for some newer and greener hybrid and electric ‘going green’ cars. I have been actually quite shocked at how many car companies these days are going green, because there are actually, as I have been realizing during my online shopping,... Read More

Many aspects in how I live support the going green movement. There are the fluorescent light bulbs in the majority of our apartment light sockets, the low flush toilet, keeping the patio screen door open instead of running the air conditioner, skateboarding instead of driving and shopping online instead of adding to traffic in the city. The funny thing is that each one of... Read More
We've been using solar cooking as a way to help the environment. Going green has been very important to us for a long time and since we discovered solar cooking, we've been cooking almost all our food outdoors ever since. It's th least expensive and easiest way for us take advantage of Arizona's abundant sunshine. Here, of all places, is the perfect way for people use... Read More
The world has turned their attention to alternative forms of energy but that has not lessened our need for oil. It is a natural resource that won’t last forever but there is still enough around to keep the world running for some time. I don’t think there has been another form of energy, other then oil that has wreaked so much havoc on our environment. There have been only... Read More
It seems like everywhere you look in the media, someone is talking about global warming.It has been something that I’ve shown a great deal of interest in and the topic of conversation during dinner on more than one occasion in our household.It seems as though if we don’t do something to change global warming, the Earth we live on is serious trouble, which means that...

Bar none, there is not a corner of the United States that sees more sun annually then the Southwest. The desert landscape, lack of tall vegetation and many rooftops is the perfect formula for capturing solar thermal energy. I lived in Arizona, traveled around the Southwest and have an intimate understanding of the desert being an outdoorsman. Speaking for Arizona, this is... Read More
Everyone seems to be going green to help our planet and save money on bills. Solar PV is actually solar photovoltaic modules or panels that are a packaged interconnected set of photovoltaic cells, known as solar cells. A solar panel is technically called a photovoltaic module and is used as a part of a larger system to offer electricity. A single module only produces a... Read More
My next door neighbor's Linda and Dave recently bought a neat little water fall powered by 2 small folding solar panels. I happened to be in my driveway messing around with the car when I noticed Dave working on something on his deck. Naturally I was curious so I went over and ask what he was up to. He revealed the two small folding solar panels and the various pieces of... Read More
This summer we are planning a working vacation by packing up the kids and heading to the beaches of Southern California where we plan to camp and set up our solar ovens during the day to solar cook. We cook just about everything using sunshine because the energy is free and is an incredibly effective way to cook and help the environment at the same time. This will be our... Read More
For a while now I’ve been trying to find some outdoor lighting which includes solar panels so that I can have some great lighting for my back garden area with little to no cost of electricity.Originally, my husband and I looked at a low-voltage lighting set, which I really loved, but even though the voltage was low, I knew that it would still be costing us nightly to have...

I was reading an article recently that featured a couple who went door to door in their neighborhood and explained to their neighbors that they could get a great price on solar panels for their homes, if they purchased them now. The couple was going to install solar panels for their home and was trying to get a “bulk” price, if more neighbors ordered too at the same time.... Read More
A great achievement of the Obama administration as of yet has been the stimulus money that is making companies think about going green. I have been so surprised to see big American automakers step up to the plate and fight not only high gas prices but the hurt on the environment gas guzzlers can cause with new high mile per gallon technology. This kind change in the auto... Read More
I have really been getting a solid education on going green over the past few months, after talking to my older brother Adam, who actually saves tons of money each year on his electric bill because he uses solar panels that he had installed on his roof. I never knew that by having solar panels installed you could save that much money—after he told me that he nearly cut his... Read More
