Lead Free PVC Construction Materials From Ply Gem Let’s EPA Say OK!

March 27, 2011 No Comments

According to McGraw Hill Construction Studies, two-thirds of homeowners are aware of green building. While green building is prominent in new construction with three out of four builders saying that green building is important to their market strategy, it is also transforming the way remodelers think. In fact, 40% of home remodeling is done using sustainable products and processes, and that number continues to grow every day. But what exactly does sustainability and green mean? After all, there are a lot of definitions and interpretations.
Ply Gem took a cue from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Rockland County Sees Green with Hybrid Electric Transit Buses

March 27, 2011 No Comments

Source: County of Rockland
Rockland County has low-floor, hybrid electric buses in their Transport of Rockland (TOR) fleet. Actually, the County has 16 new hybrid-electric buses. The buses will replace older buses in the TOR fleet and all 16 buses will be in service by the end of this year.
The buses were purchased with Federal Transit Administration (80%), NYS Department of Transportation (10%) and other transportation dollars allocated to Rockland County (10%) at an average cost of approximately $550,000 each. No County tax funds were used to pay for the vehicles.
Vanderhoef and County Transit Administrator Mike Gurski point out the bike rack on the new bus
“Transitioning the TOR fleet to hybrids is just the latest step Rockland County is taking to do its part in reducing emissions and improving our environment,” said Vanderhoef. “Coupled with our bus fleet retrofit project, which will install particulate filters on our existing diesel engines, and our use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel, these are the cleanest and greenest buses on the road in Rockland County.”

New England Alone Is Sitting on Billions in Energy Savings

March 27, 2011 No Comments

New England states have the potential to increase gross state product (GSP) by $54.6 billion and create thousands of jobs in the region by adopting cost-effective energy efficiency policies, according to a new report by Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP).
From Potential to Action: How New England Can Save Energy, Cut Costs, and Create a Brighter Future with Energy Efficiency, highlights the economic potential of energy efficiency that can be captured for less than the cost of generating and delivering new electricity from power plants.
“Energy Efficiency is a no-brainer for saving money while continuing to meet the region’s energy demands,” says Sue Coakley, Executive Director of NEEP. “It’s the most cost effective investment, with every dollar invested in efficiency giving back about $2.60 to New Englanders. Those are real savings that stay in the region to be reinvested in local economies.”

The Importance of Coastal Wetland Restoration in Louisiana

Source: National Audobon Society
President Obama’s fiscal year 2011 budget released Feb. 1 asks Congress to fund coastal wetlands restoration in Louisiana, the first time a presidential budget has included this request. The president’s budget for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provides $35.6 million for Gulf Coast restoration, including $19 million for wetlands construction projects and $16.6 million for wetlands pre-construction studies. The budget for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides $5 million for Gulf Coast restoration.“We applaud President Obama for including funds to restore Louisiana’s coastal wetlands in his fiscal year 2011 budget. These wetlands are vitally important for birds and other wildlife, for human well-being, and for our national economy, and we all stand to gain from swift, decisive action to halt their alarming and rapid disappearance.
