Planet Green is now in Greensburg filming 6 new episodes on how the town is
coming along in their effort to be the first green town in America.
They also went on the trip to China for the EcoPartnership with a town hit by the

(Bob Dixon) the City Administrator (Steve Hewitt) the Superintendent (Darin Headrick)
and the President of the Chamber (Steve Kirk).
Greensburg was one of seven governmental or business entities of this country signing

that deviates from the standard windmill in a compelling way. Its main feature is a
stationary piece in front that directs wind into the spinning blades. Overall, the
machine looks more like a jet engine than a wind turbine and it packs quite a punch
as well – a FloDesign turbine can generate as much power as a conventional turbine (more…)

Today is the change the clocks day on everything you have. Fortunately, most
computers do it for you. The clocks in cars, vcrs (should you still have one),

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!
