Happy America Recycles Day

November 15 is America Recycles Day...so let's take a look at what you're recycling!  Nearly everything?  A few cans and jars here and there?  Nothing at all?  No matter where you are on the recycling spectrum there is always room for improvement.  I like to set goals for being a better recycler, because its so important for the planet!  It helps us conserve the planet's resources, reduce landfill waste, and save energy...all are big WINS.  Let's make some goals.

Is the solar on my house killing birds?? Nope.

In the last 24 hours it seems like solar went from being seen as an angelic green technology to a bird torture device.  People are wondering, are my solar panels killing birds?  What is the difference between my solar panels and Ivanpah?

I'm here to add a little insight to the conversation based on years of explaining solar to energy executives...  a sort of Intro to Solar for the very uninitiated.
