Everyone knows that going green is good for the environment. 

To go green means to consciously eliminate habits that cause harm to the environment and to adjust your behavior and lifestyle to have less of an impact on the earth. 

It is difficult to exactly pinpoint what going green is, as everyone has a different standard, but the EPA has set list of the Twelve Principals of Green Chemistry. The principals include preventing waste, using fewer chemicals, and increasing energy efficiency.

One would think that going green can be costly, but the opposite is true.  While there may be a little upfront expenditure involved, in the end, going green can save you a good bit of money in the end.

If we continue to misuse our planet's resources and allow it to continue in its spiraling descent into oblivion, who will be the ones to suffer?

As a guy in my mid 20's I'll feel alot of the pain, but it'll be those much younger than even me who bear the brunt of the damage we're inflicting today...

...and all because we're just lazy.

In celebration of Earth Day today, I was extended the privilege to speak to a couple of 3rd grade classes at a local elementary school.

Ever wondered how much energy is consumed and CO2 is produced by all those lights on the Las Vegas strip?

Yeah, it's A LOT!

I've just returned from a business trip to Vegas and though I did get the obligatory touristy picture with one of the ten thousand Elvis (or would it be "Elvi", plural?) I found myself unable to cease wondering how much power is consumed by all those lights, glitz, and glam.

With the launch of it's new and growing Eco Options line of products, The Home Depot is making more strides towards saving and preserving our environment than any other home repair retailer in the world. On Sunday April, 22nd, which is Earth Day, The Home Depot will give away 1,000,000 free CFL's!

Oh, did you just hear that? That was the sound of our excuses being snatched away from us.

This past week my wife and I have been in Northwest Arkansas for a family emergency situation. While there, we stopped in a gas station to "take care of some business" and I snapped this picture with my cell's camera.

The owner of this gas station seems to be a little unsure as to which light bulb is best. So which is it? CFL (compact fluorescent lamp), incandescent, or no bulb at all? Can you help him out?

Oh the power. Can you feel it? Let's make one million vehicles vanish from the face of the earth. It's actually easier than you may think. If every household in the United States would replace one incandescent light bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb (CFL), the energy saved would be the equivalent of removing the aforementioned vehicles.
