These droplets can have an immediate affect on those who are using the cleaner, but they have a life beyond the immediate application. Spray droplets can be carried throughout the... Read Full Story

Now that many multi-national corporations have made a commitment to get into the clean energy business, they may be able to have some leverage over government programs and subsidies. This could be reminiscent of the leverage Big Oil has held over government subsidies. If the government doesn't cooperate, then they use their leverage.

The economy continues to drag along with hopeful moments that hint at possible recover, but the fact is that nearly every segment of business has been impacted by this recession. It is easy to fall into defensive attitude that is similar to a siege defense. Just holding on during the time of trouble is seen by many as the only way to emerge after the storm has passed. While this is not a business-as-usual cycle, it seems smart to lay the foundations for the recovery that surely must come... Read Full Story
I just used a neat new tool on the We Campaign website to send a Letter to the Editor of several newspapers. Here is what I wrote: Subject: Embracing Change Message: Dear Friends, Today we are at a crossroads. The path we choose, as a society, will determine if we continue down the path of scarcity or choose the path of abundance. People can't afford to remain in denial.

International Walk your Kid to School Day - mark your calendars folks. Oct 8th. You can save the planet and mankind by walking your children to school. Correct me if I'm wrong but did we not walk to school everyday in the olden days - i.e 10- 15 years ago? Now little Jimmy has to get a ride from mommy just to get his shoes from the closet.
