Choosing Your Best Deal

Our neighbors at MyGreenHomeBlog.com recently informed us about DSIRE: a database of state incentives for renewables and efficiency (www.dsireusa.org). With this easy to use tool, you don't have to scour through numerous lackluster government websites full of environmental jargon.

DSIRE covers renewable energy (think solar and wind power) and energy efficiency (everything from ceiling fans to geothermal heat pumps). For both categories, there are financial incentives including rebates, property tax incentives, and grant programs offered by local, state, federal, and non-profit entities.

MyGreenHomeBlog warns: ".. its not QUITE as simple as point and click-you do have to read some of the details-but the DSIRE site does an adequate job of translating much of the legal language in the government legislation into plain English."

Batteries Included: The World's 1st Lithium Powered Home

Los Angeles-based green construction experts recently broke ground in Lancaster, CA on the world's first solar and lithium-FE battery powered home.

According to KB Home Director Craig LeMessurier, the garage-stored 2 by 3 foot, 15 pound batteries hold enough energy to power the house for up to 3 days, regardless if the solar panels are shadowed by June's notoriously gloomy character.

In a recent Ecohome interview, Alamosa county Mayor R.Rex Parris acknowledged green-lighting a community home-comparison study that will monitor the cost and energy saving benefits of transitioning California homes to this innovative technology. Partnering with KB Home in supporting eco-friendly projects, the city of Lancaster has waived all of the municipal development fees for the eco-home.

Edible Bleach: Organic Spring Cleaning

Spring is officially underway, time to start clearing out those winter time bugs! Rid your windows of dust and grime with toxin-free, all natural, money saving cleaners that are already in your pantry:

Vinegar - White vinegar makes windows, counter tops, and hardwood floors sparkle. Add a few tablespoons to a gallon of water to make your home shine.

Lemons - The juice of these citrusy gems remove lime scale from metal fixtures. Mix with equal parts backing soda to clean copper, brass, and chrome.

Baking Soda - Often used as refrigerator deodorizer, baking soda can also be added to cat litter and laundry to neutralize odors. Tip: Make organic fabric stain remover by adding together 2-parts soda, 2-parts water and 1 part kosher salt.

   

Windows to Wine

Californians take the green movement from the window to the bar!! Tri-Ced, a materials recovery facility in Union City is converting disposed window glass and miscellaneous debris into recycled wine bottles. Hand sorters sift through over 7 tons of cardboard, metal, plastic and glass (per hour!) to produce an astonishing 2.5 million hued bottles every single day. These facilities hope to create over 2 billion bottles per year, off-setting the carbon footprint of a single Northern California vineyard.
