This means that all new buildings, averaged over a year, take no more energy from t …

Bottled water corporations are trying to change the way people think about water. Water is a human right and common resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold. By retailing and promoting bottled water in our national parks, the bottled water industry is attempting to paint its eco-unfriendly product green. Our national parks were never meant to serve as billboards and concession stands for the bottled water industry. It sends the wrong message about our national commitment to water, our mos …

With how fast home solar is catching on and those ways we hear about out there that cost little or nothing to install, we need an easier, objective way to see how today's affordable rooftop solar works and saves!
