Welcome Sisters, Brothers, Children of Earth.
.
Our goal, is to help you find abundant in-
formation about what you can do to affect
positive change by improving your personal,
local, national and world wide environmental use.
You may be surprised to find that changes in
your lifestyle can actually reduce your cost
of living in the bargain; both in the short run
and the long run, too!
.
For example, by our purchase of a battery powered scooter, we're making a major dent in our shopping
expense. We're getting rid of one car and its insurance
expense, in this formerly two car family... By charging
the scooter with about ten cents of electricity at night,
it has no negative affect on our electric utility company's night time coal burning load and we use it to do our
errands in town during the day, saving a couple of
gallons of fuel for our car. This simple act of environ-
mental responsibility costing up to three bucks a month
on our utility bill, saves us about $5.00 or $6.00 a day in
gas any day that we use the scooter instead of the car;
not to mention our reduction on using the oil from the
middle east used to make those two gallons of gasoline
each day, by using domestic electric energy. Anyone can
do this to save serious money. I got the idea for this
work around after finding out what the U.S. Military was
doing to become the largest go-green entity in the U.S.A.
The military is retooling its battle and delivery vehicles to
use bio-fuel. It's buying wind and solar powered support
equipment. It's converting short distance manned and
unmanned reconnaissance and courier vehicles to silent,
fast, battery powered vehicles, as well. Their goal is to be
completely non-dependant on foreign energy when war fighting.
.
Because we spend a goodly amount of time in our re-
tirement years reading and following the news we can
show you some of the nuggets of knowledge we have
mined that can help you and others become more en-
vironmentally tuned in.
.
One of the things that we have always had conscience
attacks about is world hunger and world health. The
problems of mass starvation caused by world health
organizations have nagged at our common sense for
years. I, for one, have always maintained that saving
millions of people from disease without solving the
problems of or also providing the tools and knowledge
for them to provide themselves with sustainable living
conditions were (cruel) gestures in futility... (To
paraphrase, "Don't save a man' life from disease unless
you also intend to teach him to fish.). The moral is:
Any person of conscience should be promoting
SUSTAINABILITY if they truly want to help humanity!
.
Fortunately, by persevering we have found several
organizations of like mind that are extant that are
donating children powered merry-go-round clean water
pumps; impregnated farm animals to jump start individual families to sustainability; hectares worth of tree seedlings and produce seed stock to farmers in mountain regions to rehab former clear cut jungle
hill sides and help them plant and raise their own food
for consumption and profit. Where erosion and ruin
used to be the norm, agrarian commerce and homes
with rain proof roofs and healthy families with children
going to schools now flourish in ever larger numbers.
The long term environmental worth of this kind of
sustainable "charity" is beyond measure.

The factoids published here and the links to other
environmental information and resources are yours to
use in any way that you desire. This website is dedi-
cated to sharing environmentally useful information.
There are directories to legislative measures and legislators, too, should you desire to contact your
elected officials and tell them your views on
environmental issues of your own interest. Do not
overestimate how many constituents a legislator has
to hear from to become a convert to your viewpoint
and who know, they might already be at a tipping point
on that issue, anyway. They are very sensitive to how
little of an ice burg shows above the surface of their part
of the pond... Tell them to go green; they will.
.
You are invited to come and see how cost effective, even profitable, it can be to go green!
