Just a couple articles I’ve written recently for the Footprint page at the National Post (I promise to write an original post soon, but right now, I’m on deadline for two film reviews!):
First off, an article about Friends of the Earth Middle East, a fantastic organization that’s getting Israelis, Palestinians and Jordanians to cooperate on water management and other environmental issues (yes, even during all the brutality in Gaza). This is the first in a three-part series I’m writing about sustainability in conflict zones. READ IT HERE!
And secondly, a story about why the best place to invest your money during a crapola economy is in green home retrofits and especially geothermal heating (or ground-source heat pumps, as they’re more technically called). With the 90% reduction in energy cost, massive government rebates and increase in property value, it’s like the Boardwalk of the green Monopoly game, or as my environmental consultant friend says, “an infinite 20% bond”. READ THE STORY HERE!!
that little doggy is F***ed!!! hehehe
Years ago I was moved to tears reading about the bulldozing of olive groves to maintain a secure zone along routes in Palestine. Those trees had been there long before this particular strife began and they could have provided value to people for generations after but now they are gone.
I have been in the geothermal field for years and done 1,000 of projects. I am just coming through here to set people strait on how positive and how much of a savings geothermal heating and cooling really is. If you want more info on geothermal you can visit my web page If you have any questions I will answer them honestly right here or e-mail me.
Fell free to visit indy geothermal pros web page for more info
I think it is fantastic how the stimulus funds are making a difference. They are being taken advantage of all the time with the installation of geothermal heat pumps to replace high energy heating and cooling systems.
That is a great article. Thank you for sharing.
