Tekon, Environmentally friendly water based cleaner/polisher
Tekon has developed the first lifetime clean glass coating process for architectural applications and is specified by leading architects for major projects, exclusively.
Tekon advanced technology opens a new chapter in the maintenance cost, visibility, appearances and life of architectural glass products.
Protective treatment, Tekon , is applied to new or installed glass. This chemical process links oxygen with carbon in the porous surface, blocking hydrolysis, making it super hydrophobic and repellant. Water beads up and runs off like quicksilver. Read the rest of this entry »
The Online Piracy Act (SOPA)/The Protect IP Act (PIPA)
I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote “no” on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. I urged my representative to vote “no” on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.
Over coming days you’ll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation.
Please view the video and make your decision. Your blog and/or website depends on it.
The Greenest Energy is the Energy That We Do Not Use
It seems like everyone is complaining about the size of their monthly electric bill, from companies to homeowners to renters. But how many people actually have an idea how they accrued their kWh (kilowatt hours), and even more importantly, what they can do about lowering them?
The solution is getting insight and control over our plug loads – the amount of energy consumed by our plugged-in devices. In the United States an estimated $10 billion (100 billion kWh) per year is wasted on appliances that are left on, or that are left plugged in, all the while consuming energy. Standby power consumption single handedly contributes to 10% of residential use nationally, and more than half of all the energy used in buildings is outside of office hours, which tells you that our systems and habits are simply not efficient.

Fact: 20-25% of landfill weight is plastics. Landfills are one of the most common waste disposal methods in the United States today, with an overall increase in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) consistent with population increase. Read the rest of this entry »
For those of you who have ATV (all terrain vehicles), why not check this one out. I mean, if you want to utilize atvs for your enjoyment, why not do it environmentally sound. Not only does it run on batteries but is silent enough to not have the gas guzzler, smoke generating and noisy machines you own today.
It is powerful and silent, climbs hills with ease and works exceptionally well around warehouse complexes, farms, outlets, hotels/motels and anywhere else you may need a quiet workhorse. It is also outfitted with a hitch that can tow either a two or four wheel trailer behind it.
Urban ATV also have other atvs that are much cheaper than the ATVs that are being sold here in the states.
Pretty cool, right? Would you like to own one? I think I would. I know it would be very beneficial around the farm.

SABMiller, one of the world’s largest brewers, announced the launch of the first ever commercial-scale cassava-based beer, “Impala”. The product would be brewed in Mozambique by SABMiller’s local subsidiary, Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM), and marked the latest step in SABMiller’s ambition to create a portfolio of high-quality, affordable beers made using locally-sourced raw materials for lower income consumers in Africa,
Impala is brewed using 70% cassava and is the result of several years of research to overcome the challenges of processing and brewing with cassava, which grows widely across Africa. Read the rest of this entry »
