Endless Sustainable Summer

Let’s Go Surfin Now, Everybody’s Learnin How ….

It has been a while since I have been surfing and probably will not be surfing anytime soon. So, I was just kinda taking a look around to see if there are any improvements in this fun sport! Well, I was surprised to see that there was. In the past, surfboards have been made with wood, stryofoam, resins, etc. Today, the makers of surfboards are using recyclable and sustainable materials, such as:

- Reclaimed and sustainably harvested wood
- Cork - a renewable resource
- EPS foam - a recyclable surfboard foam
- Epoxy - which emits very low VOCs (volatile Organic compounds) and does not require solvents for clean up. (more…)

World’s Biggest Offshore Wind Farm, Online by 2012

2509612On Tuesday, May 12, the green light was given to build the world’s largest offshore wind farm in the Thames Estuary of Great Britain. The Thames Estuary is the area in which the River Thames meets the waters of the North Sea. The first phase of the 90 square mile London Array will see 175 turbines producing 630 megawatts (MW) of electricity 12 miles off the coast of Kent. (more…)

A Green Friendly Innovative Dwelling

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Visualize your idea of a mobile home … now get ready to be blown away!

Clayton i HouseOn Saturday May 2, Maryville, Tennesse based Clayton Homes, the largest manufacturer of modular homes in the U.S., officially introduced its i-house. A green-friendly innovation from a company that has sold 1.5 million homes on wheels since its start in 1934. The ‘i’ stands for innovation, inspiration, intelligence and integration and it doesn’t hurt that the layout of the long main “core” house and a separate box-shaped guestroom-office “flex room” resemble the letter “i” and its dot.

Forced Green Turns 1!

Friday, March 27th, 2009

birthdayballoonsToday Forced Green celebrates it’s 1st birthday. Born out of the concern for our environment and our planet as a whole. Dedicated to bringing information, small/large, technical/simple, any data that Earth’s people can utilize to help their Planet Mother (and her children), heal, survive, thrive.

Named ‘FORCED’ Green because after decades of abuse, neglect, and treating Earth as though she is the size of Jupiter, (still no excuse if she were), our planet was, (still is), in dire straits. We were blindly speeding towards unimaginable consequences, (more…)

California’s Forward Thinking - (Maybe)

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
Cannabis sativa, scientific drawing.

California would become the first state in the nation to legalize marijuana for recreational use under a bill introduced Monday by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco. Ammiano said taxes and other fees associated with regulation could put more than a billion dollars a year into state coffers at a time when revenues continue to decline. The proposal would regulate marijuana like alcohol, with people over 21 years old allowed to grow, buy, sell and possess cannabis.

More marijuana is grown in California than any other state. As of 2006, there were over 21 million marijuana plants harvested, so it’s already the state’s biggest cash crop - it’s just not legal. NORML estimates that a legal market for marijuana could yield the state $1.5 - $2.5 billion.

California would save over $150 million in law enforcement costs for arrests, prosecutions and prison. Additional benefits would accrue from sales taxes and spin off industries. Total retail sales of marijuana would be on the order of $3-$5 billion, with total economic impact of $8-$13 billion including spin off industries such as coffeehouses, tourism, and industrial hemp.

“Air Freshener”, Anyone?

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

This is Reality and the Coen Brothers have teamed up by calling out the coal industry’s ridiculous claims that coal is clean!  Their latest ad is called “Air Freshener”. Please watch it now:

A lot has happened since This is Reality launched the Reality Campaign to call out the coal industry for their dirty lies. The devastating coal ash spill in Tennessee last December was a painful reminder that using “clean” to describe coal doesn’t make it true. And last week, the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision to reconsider carbon dioxide regulation was a tremendous wake-up call to the coal industry.

Now is a crucial moment. Our message is working, and we’ve got to take this opportunity to turn up the heat. With help from folks like the Coen brothers, it’s a little easier (and funnier). Will you help spread the word, too?

Protect the Environment

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Protect the Environment:
Report Spills and Environmental Violations

Concerned about an environmental situation within your community but don’t know where to go for answers? Well, here you go - direct from the EPA:

Where do I report a possible violation of environmental laws or regulations?

Fill out the form at epa.gov/tips. If you don’t have Internet access, call the EPA office in your area of the country (see the phone numbers below).

Many issues are handled at the local level. You may first want to try contacting your local government office for concerns about trash, litter, strange odors, recycling pickup, and household chemical disposal, including paints, pesticides, oil, antifreeze, etc. You can find information about your local government in the blue pages of your telephone book or by contacting your public library.
