I've found information on federal tax incentives, but I'm particularly interested in rebates for equipment purchase and installation. The city of Austin offers this, and in other areas rebates are offered by the power companies themselves. I can't find info particular to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, or energy providers in DFW.

my family and I would like to start recycling our trash. Things like bottles , paper, etc. but we really don't know how to get started or go about it. If anyone could tell us or refer us to a web site that would be great.

Thanks.

I am starting my own business making environmentally friendly women's jewelry out of recycled, re-used, and sustainably grown/harvested materials, and would like to open a business checking and savings account. I am very environmentally conscious and am having trouble finding a bank that offers decent rates, competitive fees, is environmentally conscious in their energy and materials usage, and invests only in businesses with equally progressive environmental practices.

I am also looking for an online-only bank, since they do not waste materials, space, and energy building branches which I don't need to use. I know there have to be a few out there, and I have found a few but they are unfortuantely in Europe and are not available to US citizens. Help!

We are obviously going to be running out of fossil fuels soon, within the next few hundred years...there is not enough corn or soybeans or palm oil in the world to delay this much longer...and there do not seem to be any other promising forms of energy in the world. Do you think there is hope, and if so what is it? Or should we simply just ignore the problem and put our faith in science discovering something new?

I have recently heard about several people close to me building, buying, using, etc. their own forms of power. My father built his own windmill and several others have bought large (about 10 foot by 20 foot) solar installments for their houses. What are the pros and cons of each? I am a bored college student and assuming it's not crazy hard, I was thinking of making a mini version of one or the other as a fun summer DIY project.

Thanks
Ben

I work in a large plant which I'm sure uses a lot of energy. How would I go about suggesting the use of green energy to my employers. BTW: I'm not in management, so I don't know how I would get listened to.

Every Sunday, more than 500,000 trees are used to produce the 88% of newspapers that are never recycled

...couldn't you avoid this problem by using a direct drip irrigation system in your home garden? The water remains underground, and never gets "on" the food parts of the plant. Would apsorbtion through the roots somehow contaminate the plant as a whole?

A wired ball mouse or a wireless optical mouse.
We should all do what is necessary to help the environment.

My orange juice and soy milk containers don't have the little triangle printed on them, can they still be recycled?

What can be recycled, and what can't?

I've got this friendly acquaintance, who is pretty well off (wealthy) and it seems that everything this touches turns to gold. He's given me advice in the past and it's always been dead on. Anyways, he NEVER gets involved in businesses, he usually starts and runs them and then sells them for mega bucks. But this thing (Ignite) intrigued him to the point that he spent a year looking into it, then decided to join and now is pretty pumped about it and has since sat me down and explained it to me and showed me this: http://andrewski.igniteinc.biz Anybody know of any other regular folks who have done well with this energy deregulation opportunity?

I am in Malaysia and I don't think there are any hemp here. Apparently, hemp is illegal in some countries. I have no idea why. Something to do with Marijuana and some drugs.

...alot of anti environmentalists accuse us of advocating genocide? The point of a planed population size is to keep an eye on the new people being made, not getting rid of those already here. Example: If every couple on earth only had one child (Hypothetical situation) aand lavished all of their attention and resources on said child, global population would be cut in half in one generation. All without "getting rid of" anyone.

I'm not saying that this would be a be-all end-all solution to every problem, or that everyone would go along with it, I'm just wondering why people assume the absolute worst about some of this stuff.

Multiple sizes would be good too. So, I have some for the fruits and vegitables and some for carrying everything and some for cold items, etc.

I have seen them mostly in canvas but other materials are ok as long as they will stand up to LOTS of use for many years.
