My mother-in-law couldn't stop telling us how pleased she was with the new windows in her house; a ranch style house built in the 1960's with beautiful redwood sidings. The views were clear and unobstructed and the rooms have brightened up cheerfully, not to mention the fact that the house seemed to have better insulation, keeping indoor temperatures at a comfortable ambient level.

We went to visit; the house is like a grand dame who had a very subtle face lift. The effect was decidedly pleasing without being glaringly different; the new window frames matched the redwood siding so well that we would not have noticed if we were not told about them. The front yard seemed to be part of the living room and the sitting room has transformed from a drab dark room to everyone's favorite.

This season, stretch the wardrobe budget to cover your dwelling and keep it cozy. The electric or gas company always send a little pamphlet with advice on keeping both the occupants and the house warm towards the end of the year.

I get the message about insulating the house but have no idea how to go further than checking window seals and installing a rubber strip under the door. Now, an icy-hot wrap is available for my little humble abode, to help it to keep warm in the winter and stay cool in the summer.

Fuel cells technology holds the promise of providing high-efficiency power generation for distributed power and mobile applications. In vehicles, fuel cells powered by hydrogen produce only steam at their exhaust giving Southern California a hope for future generation to leave with clean air. It is also an ideal technology to provide transportation in so near future of depleted fossil fuels.

Ask Toyota - Maker of the Prius - pg 16-17

A mission to launch a land craft that runs on self-generated energy and that anybody could afford to drive seemed impossible until the Prius, Toyota’s iconic hybrid green car. Fifteen years after the Prius peeled out on the auto stage, and nine years after making the trip from Japan to hit the American shoreline, Toyota is still building cars that run on fossil fuels.

Admittedly, we can all be found guilty and convicted as notorious bottle-slinging water drinkers at up to $4 a pop in assorted flavors, imported, mineralized, or fortified. And once we gulp the last drip, those bottles find a cushy permanent address at the nearest landfill – unless.

A duffle-toting female, whose income denies her the luxury of labeled water, scavenges rollaway containers at 2:28 a.m. for used plastics and cans.

Desperately hoping to convalesce the near-death economy, the 111th United States Congress rang in on the high note of the new Barack Obama administration to quickly pass a $787 billion pay-as-you-go plan, known as the “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009” – which in many respects is a modification of Bush’s October 2008 stimulus package.

Light poles short of a detailed energy plan, Congress allocated $113.5 billion from the emergency bill towards high-tech transportation systems, energy-efficiency programs, and expansion in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biofuels, clean coal, hydroelectric, nuclear, geothermal and natural gas.

The cost of generating renewable energy from sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass depends primarily on private investors or major grant making initiatives. Outside that core exists the great donut hole of potential energy suppliers who come up short even after the old piggy bank has been busted, they might be too small for the rigorous granting arena, or not as attractive to big money.

Luckily, all is not lost. An idea like Brighter Planet advantageously uses the marketplace to engage on the environmental platform. Brighter Planet's Outreach and Partnership Manager, Robbie Adler, told Lookin’ Green: “Most of us hope to adopt a green lifestyle, but on a larger scale we are still highly dependent on fossil fuels, a financial barrier to action.”

Your best contribution to the environment could be your own health, but in tough economic times, health and fitness are often first on the budget block. And still, everyone has fitness and healthy living as a major priority, but not so many us actually make that priority a reality.

In the 1965 when Joe Gold opened a modest fitness center in Venice Beach, California it wasn’t just a Hollywood sensation. His hope was to motivate people to stay committed to their health and fitness goals. More than 600 locations across the globe and 50 years later, Gold’s Gym still helps members realize their goals and find their inner strength.
