What to Look For in Green Cleaning Supplies

With more and more households going “green” the demand for green products is ever-growing, including cleaning supplies. Healthy, green and more effective cleaning products are hitting the shelves almost daily to compete with the traditional ones that we’ve been used to. Before you enter the store to buy your green cleaning supplies, keep these tips in mind of what to look for.>More

The Greening of Yard-Care Technology

Lawn care needs to give Mother Nature a little break. It needs, in truth, to take a few steps away from technology. This year, resist the urge to apply herbicides that will leach into the local water table. This year, try being water smart. Turn the leaf-blower into a tomato planter. This year, let the good bugs live; cut down on pesticides. Choose one or two ideas, to make a small difference, or try them all, if it suits you. Some of it is easier than you might think. >More

Motor City Going Green, Greener, Greenest

Once a major manufacturing hub, Detroit has struggled over the last half-century to keep its head above water. The population of the city has lost a quarter of its residents since 2000 and crime is rampant, making Detroit one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. Despite these issues and contrary to popular opinion, there are bright spots in Detroit. Bright green spots.>More

Recycled Gold Reduces Mining Waste

That statement, of course, applies to the recycling of most any metal. It applies equally well to a lot of mining that isn't for metal. But the awkward fact that gold mining is among the most poisonous of mining processes makes it a crucial environmental concern >More

Green Energy Stocks

Whenever a new product or service comes on the market, it is generally publicly traded. The stock prices are influenced by how many people are buying and/or selling, and the prices they are being bought or sold at. Therefore, it is easy to say that the consumer controls the price. That is true, to an extent, but the stock traders use information that is available to them, not only about the company whose stock they are purchasing or selling, but also about the economy in general. Therefore, one way to tell what the mature public and business elite think about green energy is to watch the stock reports for green energy companies. >More

Green Energy Activists

There are many reasons in the current state of affairs world wide to become a green energy activist. Carbon footprints destroy the atmosphere. The coal crisis seems to be looming closer than ever. Fossil fuels are clouding cities with lots of smog. The health of humanity is on a downswing. People are afraid of nuclear power plants after the meltdowns and other catastrophes at Fukushima, Japan. These are all great reasons to become a green energy activist, but one common reason all of humanity should share is the ability to protect the Earth and the environment for future generations.>More

Choosing Green Insulation for Your Home

If you are considering ways to make your home more energy efficient take a moment to think about green insulation. Having good insulation will lower the heat transfer rate between the inside of your home and the outside environment. This is not just good for those cold winter months. It also helps keep it cool inside your home during the hot summer months as well. Good insulation can significantly reduce your electric bill by reducing the amount of effort it takes to heat or cool your home. That is good for your wallet and the environment. Be sure to look into environmentally friendly insulation. Here are a few options for you to consider. >More

5 Ways to Go Green

Generally when people think about "going green" they think about solar panels, hybrid vehicles and recycling. All of these things can be big investment of time or money. Solar panels and hybrid vehicles are expensive even with government tax credits and subsidies and recycling can be a real chore with all of the sorting and driving to the recycling facility if your city doesn't have a decent recycling program. >More

Pros and Cons of Using Alternative Energy in Your Home

The majority of alternative energy harvesting and storage devices have a low maintenance cost. One argument about cost being a con is that it can require a high implementation cost. This will be offset, however, by the reduced cost of monthly utility bills and high maintenance costs. This moves cost into the pro section because the overall savings are vastly greater than the startup cost. And because alternative energy sources are always there, the price will never rise due to the scarcity of the source. Also, as technological advances improve the generation, capture and release of alternative energy sources, these costs will continue to drop>More

Sustainable Living and Green Technology

The production of new green technologies to generate energy and sustain the earth's resources continues to grow rapidly. New innovations are expected to make changes that will affect the daily lives everyone on the planet. This burst in new technology has been compared to the explosion of information technology not that long ago. Yet the advancement of green technology could have a larger impact on the future of the planet. One of the primary goals of green technology is to provide energy needs of the human race without irreparable damage or total depletion of its resources. At issue is whether the current needs can be met while still leaving resources for future generations. >More

The Joy of Curtains

Curtains are a simple, attractive way to augment the plastic, or replace it on windows where plastic looks bad. A simple cloth curtain hung between ½" and ¾" from the window will reduce heat loss nearly as well as the layer of plastic will, and it typically looks a lot better. A window shade does about the same, but looks worse (in my opinion). Either way, though, the layer of cloth interferes with the sinking free convection of cold air, the mechanism that transfers most of the cold from the window to the room. >More

Green Roofs- For a Green Tomorrow

But these ugly roofs might be a thing of the past with an increasing interest in green roofs. A green roof is one that has vegetation populating the roof and this simple criterion can be a powerful tool that can clean up the air we breathe and the water we drink along with a whole host of other benefits. A green roof is not something that is very difficult at all to retrofit a building with. At face value all you need is a roof, some soil, some plants, and your done, but the paybacks of having a green roof far outnumber the costs.>More

"Greening" Your Garden

Believe it or not just because gardens are outdoors and full of plants doesn't mean they are 100% "green." A wide assortment of vegetables and flowers and a lush lawn may offer an impressive presentation but without caring for it in an ecological friendly manner that beauty can be misleading. >More

Metro Detroit: Can Regional Mass Transit Act as an Economic Stimulator?

John Kateel is a Michigan native who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Owner of JM Alexander(www.jmalexander.com), producer and distributor of eco-friendly bags and products.

The famed investor, Warren Buffet, has consistently had a winning investment strategy. Invest in companies whose assets are undervalued and spend capital to boost up the long term value of that investment to the benefit of all.

If Metro Detroit were a firm, it would be the most undervalued asset in the developed world. Its' international reputation is tattered. Its' main industry is in financial free fall. The mood on the street is depressively glum and anxious.....>More
