Eighteen national, regional and local lenders will participate in a new two-year pilot program that will offer qualified borrowers living in certain parts of the country low-cost loans to make energy-saving improvements to their homes. Backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), these new PowerSaver loans will offer homeowners up to $25,000 to make energy-efficient improvements of their choice, including the installation of insulation, duct sealing, replacement doors and windows, HVAC systems, water heaters, solar panels, and geothermal systems.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Shaun Donovan and U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the participating lenders (see attached list) during a tour of a family-run company that offers home energy audits and upgrades in Long Island, New York.

3M has been selected by Stratford Hall, the home of the Lees of Virginia and birthplace of Robert E. Lee, as part of the multi-year Lee Heritage Interpretation Plan project currently underway at this National and Virginia Historical Landmark. The project aims to depict the various periods of the Lee family occupancy and the history of the Robert E. Lee Memorial Association at Stratford Hall Plantation as accurately as current scholarship, research, technology and preservation standards will allow. Focusing first on two areas of the site that contain the most important collections and sensitive finishes, Stratford Hall installed 3M’s Prestige Series PR 70 window film at the Great House and the Southwest Outbuilding.

Recycle Coffee Cup: A Sustainable Choice for Your Morning Brew

May 13, 2011 No Comments

Look, we know that coffee is the world’s most commonly traded commodity after crude oil, and tea is the world’s most consumed beverage after water.
As I have been writing my next book, Build Your Own Plug-in Hybrid at my local coffee house, I too have wondered what the heck we can do to make our coffee drinking a little more green than it was before.
Is the Ceramic Mug the Only Way to be Eco-Friendly?
Now I have heard all the debate about using ceramic cups: if you can reuse it 3-4,000 times, it is the most eco-friendly coffee cup choice. However, in the same article, I also read that if you reuse a paper cup 3 times, then that is the more eco-friendly option. Even the cheapest waxed cup is capable of holding 3 cups of coffee.

Green Casino Table Design for the Modern Casino

When I met Eric Hansel and learned about his company EGM Green and his product, I realized that the casino industry does green its lighting as much as it can; yet it is not really known for its poker tables being green. I then thought Eric could be on to a big thing here and this is a great niche product.
Eric and I met at a Russel Simmons Fundraiser. Eric, could you talk a little bit about that fundraiser?
The event was called “One Tree One Table.” It benefits the Sunflower Children, which is a worldwide organizatioon started by Helena Houdova to help children in need….pretty amazing.
So tell me about your whole company?
EGM Green designs and manufactures the world’s first eco-friendly casino tables. Our new tournament style poker table was at the WSOP this year in Harrah’s booth to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability at their point of sale.

GE Energy Industrial Solutions and GE Capital Fleet Services, in another move to drive adoption in the electric vehicle market, will continue GE’s (NYSE: GE) national Electric Vehicle (EV) Experience Tour with a stop in New York City on May 12. The U.S. tour is part of GE’s ecomagination® business initiative to accelerate the innovation and deployment of clean energy solutions.
After the event in New York City, the GE EV Experience Tour will travel to Washington, D.C., on May 19. GE successfully wrapped up the multi-city, west coast segment of its EV Experience Tour last month, stopping in San Francisco (March 10), Seattle (March 15), Los Angeles (March 17) and San Diego (March 22).
The tour includes presentations by GE and industry leaders; educational workshops to support EV planning, deployment and integration strategies; and electric-vehicle test drives. Each tour segment provides a forum for GE experts to connect with local businesses, influencers and public-sector stakeholders to dialogue on the business case for EV ecosystems and concludes with an “EV Ride & Drive” featuring cars and trucks from a number of electric vehicle manufacturers.
