The Natural Gas “Revolution”

Green is gaining momentum and not just because it is the color of 2013. The green movement is heating up and you can expect more measures for greener living. One of these measures comes from Energy Secretary nominee Ernest Moniz, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology physics professor, who has announced his intention to increase the use of natural gas. He believes it is one of the ways that we can fight climate change.

In an article from boston.com, Moniz said that ‘‘‘a stunning increase’’ in production of domestic natural gas in recent years was nothing less than a ‘‘revolution’’ that has led to reduced emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases that cause global warming.’

He has also told the Senate Energy Committee about how the natural gas boom has led to a dramatic surge in expansion of manufacturing as well as job creation.

Why Choose Eco-Friendly Office Furniture?

Beyond the obvious perks of going eco-friendly (like saving the environment), there are many other upsides to going green in the office. Particularly if you’re a business owner in the Northwest, your clients and customers might be expecting a more sustainable angle from you. You don’t want to miss out on that big client or huge sale just because your office furniture isn’t up to snuff. Or are you thinking going green costs too much?

The truth is that, just like regular furniture, you can spend as much or as little as you like going green. There are sustainable, hand-carved treasures for thousands of dollars, or efficient and green solutions that are comparable in cost to non-green furniture.

The Surprising Benefits of Renting a Drop Box

When you embark on a project that will produce large amounts of waste, like a home renovation for instance, you might run into a bit of a quandary on what do with all of it. Home renovations produce piles upon piles of waste in the way of wood, sheetrock, insulation, brick, carpets, glass, porcelain, metal and roofing material. Its impossible to fit all of that in your garbage can and there’s no way you can get away with leaving piles of junk on the curb (garbage haulers don’t take kindly to that sort of thing) so what to do?

You might consider taking it to a landfill nearby, but that would require several truck loads and trips back and forth. Landfills aren’t exactly a cheap option either. Landfills often charge in the range of $50-$100 for a full pickup truck load. And– surprise– if it’s not secured and covered they’ll ding ya for an extra $25.
