I want to build a sustainable, green home for my family of 6 in Coachella Valley Ca.?

Posted on February 25th, 2010 in green construction by admin

Which type of construction is the best, straw bale or rammed earth or a combination of both? There are so many types of green construction to choose from it can be confusing. I really want to change our current life style and help make a positive impact on my kids and the environment. Is there a book or checklist that can help me make the right decisions from the start of this huge life changing project? We will still be on the grid and connected but feel we can still make a substantial change that is much better than our current consumer type life style.

And also, would a wood frame or a steel frame for a house be better? And a website link would be helpful, too. Thanks!

Im interested in green energy and sustainable fuel sources, what are the ways to make green while being green?

Posted on February 21st, 2010 in green energy by admin

I’m going to be an owner/operator in a biodiesel manufacturing plant and I will have millions of gallons of biodiesel to sell, (if theres anyone looking for a large supply, here i am!) But i am looking to find out what other options are available in addition to what i will already be doing to make money in this area?

Im especially interested in ways to sell back to the power grid.

I do know a decent amount about solar panels and wind, but are there any other ideas out there or really ingenius ways to add to this desire?

What better way to make money helping the earth!

if you’ve got any information or suggestions that cant be posted privately, feel free to contact me!

PS: please make no mistake, this is mostly about my desire to succeed and profit in business within this industry!

Sustainable Living Series – Shelter – Part 4c

Posted on November 21st, 2009 in green living by admin

Sustainable Living


Shelter Series Part 4d
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abOaTUmvolc

After all the research I have done on the secrets of the world, Ive decided that Ive done what I can to provide information to the public about these secret societies, power structures and malicious conspiracies.

You all will find your own answers, and it is likely that if you are told when you are not yet prepared for the truth, you will just deny it from the onset. This was my experience, and it was hard waking up. DO NOT RUSH YOURSELF.

So, that being said, I decided to contribute by providing a series of videos dealing with changing our lifestyles to become more self-sufficient and environmentally friendly. This allows us to become the creators of own destiny with little government support required.

Self-sustainable living should be a worthy goal for those wishing to escape the new world order and develop communities that are free and just.

Most importantly, these communities will minimize the human harm on the planet by REMEMBERING what we have forgotten about life.

We only need to look to nature to find the answers we seek. Remember, this is information you may find useful in developing your own solutions to becoming more self-reliant in your own life.

The topic for sustainable living this week is SHELTER AND NORTHERN SURVIVAL:

http://www.earthship.org
http://www.ecodome.ca/
http://www.ecoshelter.org/

Next time we shall talk about self-sufficient heating and cooling your shelter.

Take care my friends.
