If you do not think that there is a movement beginning, you are wrong!
A little town very close to me here in deep East Texas, Lindale, has decided
they need to develop some opportunities to grow the city. They are now working
with Decker Energy International, Inc., a Florida based privately held company,
to assist them in building a 35-50 megawatt wood-fired biomass power plant.
This plant will have 25 full time jobs. Along with more jobs to build it. Yeah!
The proposed site is 43 acres that is currently owned by the Lindale Economic
Development Corporation (LEDC) which will also be part of the Lindale
Industrial Park. This project will cost the city about $130 million. (more…)

Since Hurricane Ike, the City of Houston has been trying to figure out how

So the City has come up with a nationwide contest in hopes of someone coming
up with a recycling idea that will get rid of 5.6 million cubic yards of
tree waste cleaned up from households and front yards. (more…)

A company called Terra Cycle makes products out of garbage. They take the organic waste, feed it to earth worms, which ingest it and poop out fantastic fertilizer.
The worm poop is liquefied in large vats by adding water, bubbling it, to rid it of
chloride and add oxygen, and eat. The company says it takes 5 days for the process. (more…)
