Going Green by Clicking Buy |
| 5/27/2010 7:21:02 AM |
 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 |

Going green is seeping into our lives more and more |
| 5/6/2010 12:23:04 AM |
 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 |

American Muscle Beginning to Use Green Technology |
| 5/5/2010 9:51:30 AM |
 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 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

Technology Points to Algae as Next Big Fuel Source |
| 4/14/2010 9:45:02 PM |
 Almost two years ago from today, I sat in one of the last courses of my college career.

Manufactures had started producing cars that ran on the stuff, bio-diesel gas stations started... Read More |

| 4/12/2010 8:40:10 AM |
 One of the biggest motivations I have for going green is saving the green. We have a hot summer coming up and our air conditioner is the single-most energy consuming appliances we have in the house. Normally our electric bills run about $50 a month in the winter, but jump to over $250 in the summer when the air conditioner goes on. I heard on the news that we could get a... Read More |
