The stylings of Jack Johnson who is a singer and songwriter. He is not one
of the musicians who wreck hotel rooms, smash their guitar to smithereens,
or the normal shenanigans. He is just the opposite. He is setting an example
of using a completely carbon neutral platform for his tours or commonly known
as “going green”.

He refuses to tour in the winter as that is when the best waves hit his native
Hawaii islands. He is a low keyed individual of the likes of Paul Simon. (more…)

Forced Green is going to harness the wind.  How?  Vertical Wind Power.

Vertical Wind Power will not harm birds, bees, etc, as horizontal wind generators have a tendency to do.

Living off retirement savings (with penalties!),it is not economically feasible to fund this project without support. This project’s goal is to build a working vertical wind power system, as economically as possible, that will noticeably offset the enormous cost of being dependant on the grid. Once accomplished it is the project’s intent to provide this service; labor, materials, et al, free if possible, but realistically has cheap as your support would allow, to those who need it the most – senior citizens. Those who live on fixed incomes, that have to make a decision between buying food, medicine or paying their electric bill.

Please donate!  Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

As the project goes forward, updates will be provided that includes: technical data, how to’s, do’s and don’ts, and cost data.

Another way to assist is to click on the advertising.  Many of them I have written about, of those, I have either researched the product or have actually purchased. I do not advertise on items that have no value to you, they are all about going green. So,  help your favorite bloggers out by buying from a blog.

Forced Green works very hard to provide the latest and greatest information concerning going green in a variety of fields. Forced Green depends on your donations in it’s continuing effort in providing you with what can be done today along with the green technologies that tomorrow is bringing. So, to those who have donated, and those who continue to donate, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.

On May 22, I wrote about getting the 350 Challenge badge and placing it on your site
to fight climate change.  Well, Forced Green received it’s certificate for offsets.

The challenge was to get 350 participants and they have reached over 400.  They have
decided to keep the registration open so that other bloggers, like you, can join up
and help fight climate change.  If you have not done so yet, go over to
http://350.brighterplanet.com and get your badge!

You will notice a widget in the lower right sidebar of this page. Unless you are alot further ahead than the average PC user, you are using electricity from the grid. Since all pcs and servers use electricity, that’s alot of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions that the power companies pump out.

CO2 Stat Pro has sponsored a new green compaign by tallying the time visitors spend at your site, then estimating the amount of CO2 expended in powering the pcs and services involved. Based upon this sum the service will count the carbons and pay the equivalent in offsets to Sustainable Travel International, a non profit organization that funds renewable energy in the developing world and green power projects in North America.
