The Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an Atlantic Offshore Wind Energy Consortium which promote and be responsible for developing the wind resources on the Outer Continental Shelf. The interior's new Bureau of Ocean Energy Management will develop wind and other renewable energy resources.
The governors of Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Virgina have created a "Wind Energy Farms" project for the Outer Continental Shelf.
Our nation needs to develop this renewable energy as there is a potenetial of generating 20% of our electricy by 2030. In addition, there is a possibility that this would create a quarter of a million green jobs.
Everyone needs to do their part by recycling glass which in turns provides assistant to our manufacturers thus utilizing less electricty, energy, natural gas and coal.
Today, glass manufacturers rely on crushed glass which is called "cullet" to supplemental raw materials in producing recycled glass for their products. The process of making glass consists of mixing cullets, sand, soda ash and limestone.
We will be able to save air pollution by 20%, related water pollution by 50%, reduces space in our landifill and finally, we will not have to utilize our landscape to make glass. For every 1 ton of glass recycled, 1.2 tons of raw material will be preserved.
Please be mindful and do your part by placing all of your glass bottles, jars and containers on the curbside recycling bin.
Mother Earth will "Thank You"!

Yes, believe it or not, Apple initally filed for the patent in the third quater of 2008, to incorporate their aspirations of launching solar powered engineering for their iPod, iPad and iPhones.
The electric power generated from the solar cells could be used either to charge the rechargeable batteries or to directly power the main module or both.
This ingenius design of replacing the back metal panel with window will no doubt open the door for Apple to implement a double-sided panel design which will be solar powered.
Again, Apple will be the front runner with this very unique design! At this time, it is not known when these designs will be made available, but, it is definitely exciting! If you are curious on the entire design, please read more by clicking on this link.

You can use recycling Aluminum to your advantage and it can be very benefical for your local community organizations such as Boy or Girl Scouts of America, Habitat for Humanity, your church and your schools. The aluminum can industry is big money, as they have recently paid out $800 Million dollars (annually) to those that were creative enough to cash in while making our world more beautiful!
Plastic is a versatile synthetic material and has integrated itself in human usage over the years. We wrap our food in it, store items in it, drink from it and eat off it, we have parties surrounded by plastic and even wear it; of all this plastic only 3 to 5 percent is recycled in America. Much of the rest of this plastic goes into landfills and takes 200 – 400 years to decompose.
Do you part, recycle all plastics, as they can be turned into many items from clothing to lumber and to avoid filling our landfills!
Your best option is to buy your items with glass.

An Innovative Breakthrough in Solar Panel Design: "Indium tin oxide is the main component when creating solar panels and its main purpose is to supply a conductor that transfers the solar power into electrical power; and its cost is on the rise. It is due to this reason alone that the price of solar panels are skyrocketing making it to where only those who have funds above their means can afford to install a solar powered system in their home or business.
Princeton University researchers have been able to create a new type of plastic that can conduct electricity much the same way as indium tin oxide. Because of this innovative invention; they have been able to test and prove that this new type of plastic is a viable alternative to the old style solar panels.
Not only is this modern plastic one way of producing low cost solar panels, they are also made out of organic products, which only help make them even more eco-friendly and green. This will not only appeal to those people who always figured that solar panels would cost them an arm and a leg; it will also appeal to those people who wish to preserve this planet that we all live on."
