Going ‘Green’
Environmental, Energy & Sustainability
A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT IS OUR LEGACY TO THE CHILDREN
This statement is our goal. We will create an atmosphere where discussion, creativity, opposing views, open mindedness, and solutions are all part of our existence. In striving to educate each other on the importance of using fewer resources, the health and economic benefits will come to be seen. How we impact the Earth and each other is of prime importance. This can be done through sacrifice that will teach us all humility. It can be achieved in an honest, loving, fun way. Come join us!
Alternate Energy Book Recommendations
Carbon-Free and Nuclear-Free: A Roadmap for U.S. Energy Policy –by Arjun Makhijani
From the author’s summary:
“A zero-CO2 U.S. economy without nuclear power is not only achievable – it is necessary for environmental protection and security. Even the process of the United States setting a goal of a zero-CO2, nuclear-free economy and taking initial firm steps towards it will transform global energy politics in the immediate future and establish the United States as a country that leads by example rather than one that preaches temperance from a barstool.”

The Green Collar Economy: How One Solution Can Fix Our Two Biggest Problems –by Van Jones
From the author’s website: http://vanjones.net/
” …Van Jones illustrates how we can invent and invest our way out of the pollution-based grey economy and into the healthy new green economy. Built by a broad coalition deeply rooted in the lives and struggles of ordinary people, this path has the practical benefit of both cutting energy prices and generating enough work to pull the U.S. economy out of its present death spiral.”
