JogoGreen

This blog is dedicated to spotlighting the green pioneers who are making a difference - one car, one bag, one water bottle, one solar install at a time - whatever it is YOU do let us know. The choice you make today to create a green world benefits us all - letting people know about it gives us all a chance to be empowered and inspired by your example.

Doing a little is more fulfilling than thinking that a little doesn't make a difference.

Here is a fantastic website to help you do a little! You and yours can learn more about sustainability and the environment while raising money for Jogo's tree planting programs. Answer 10 questions correctly and a tree is planted. The growing icons at the bottom are rewarding and inspiring. Children love being part of helping Nature, while having a great time playing a game. We all share in your gift; so let us know how many trees you've helped plant.

Bravo JogoGreen.com!

ps - the story of this organization is inspiring and affirming, too - check it out under "Trees".

ALL OUR FRIENDS FOR A GREEN WORLD

Choosing environmentally sustainable technologies is a communal act of kindness...share it with all of us....your gift will be magnified and your choice made more powerful.

How about getting your water from an in-home water filter that over time is less expensive than bottled water and only has to be transported to your house one time.
I have a Nikken PiMag water system in my home; my water costs me less AND is the best water I have ever experienced as it makes me feel so alive and good. Double benefits!

I decided to put solar on my home on the central coast of CA (think fog most of the summer). And because I use relatively little electricity, it will take many years to have the system costs recouped. But I'm stoked at the idea of my PGE meter turning the other direction, and with the cost of electricity going up yearly, it may be much shorter to 'break even' than predicted.

My 2.8 Mwatt system will consist of 15 panels on a south facing roof. They will be installed by RECSolar the end of October.

Why Friends For A Green World?

Last summer, I watched Al Gore's speech - A Generational Challenge to Repower America. It changed me. It helped me to realize that doing a little was more fulfilling than thinking that a little couldn't make a difference.

It occurred to me that many people have already taken actions to begin this Repowering and transformation of America. We probably won't hear about them, unless we know them personally.

I want to hear about the people in this country who are making choices to live a sustainable lifestyle. There are a thousand ways to be a part of this revolution - tell us who you are and what your choice was today. We'll publish the list so we can all share in the education, inspiration and empowering of America.

Thanks,
