A place where you can just be, rest, pray, meditate or compose a new chapter of your life.
In a romantic setting on a cliff over looking the Pacific ocean, meditate with the sunrise, stargaze into the deep galaxies, and explore beautiful hiking trails to the ocean and waterfall lagoons.
Only 15 minutes from town, with features like free high-speed wireless internet, you can enjoy a new way of living elegantly green, off the grid in our bamboo cottages, the new lumber of the future.

I used to live out in the country so I have a "gas guzzling" Jeep Cherokee, but now live in town. I was thinking of buying a Prius but then wondered just how much CO2 is produced making and shipping them, compared to how much is ‘saved’ by having one? How many years would it take for the CO2 saved on an ongoing basis to exceed the CO2 created by making the car in the first place?

The general model is that it takes 20 years to recover the CO2 from a new car compared to running an older less efficient car. The model shown by Steve has been shown to be missnig many key CO2 uses, includnig al the extra CO2 generated by the factory staff who now have more money to spend ! Its a complex model and each spin takes it further and further way from buying a new car.

As a new car wouldn’t last that long it makes no sense to regularly change your car from an environmental point of view.

Why don’t Green people say that living green can be cheaper way of life rather than calling someone an idiot for ignoring or not believing in global warming?

That is one of my favorite points to make. I don’t argue about Global Warming, I have no idea if it what they say is true. I was green long before I heard the term.

When the 1st principal is reduce how can it not save money. You don’t have to go out and spend money on solar panels or live like a cave man to reduce the amount of energy you use. We have so many things in our home that use electricity with no benifit to use. Almost all electronics use standby energy, we have many things that have batteries that we charge 24/7 when they only need to charge once a week. I cut my electric bill by at least $50 a month by using a power cord with a switch to plug in my tv,vcr, stereo and game system. I also unplug chargers when they aren’t charging. No decline in lifestyle there.

I save money also be switching to durable reusable items instead of disposable one use items. I haven’t had to buy disposable plates for our bbq’s for years instead I have a selection of heavy duty plastic plates that will last for years.

I save money and reduce my exposure to questionable chemicals with natural cleaning products, it cost about 50 cents to make a bottle of window cleaner instead of paying over $3 for windex and I don’t have to worry about amonia damaging my lungs.

Need to go shopping? And you want to be environmentally friendly as possible? Here are some easy eco friendly shopping tips to going green. With a little advanced planning, it is easy to save time and money when you go shopping. This can be done while using environmentally friendly practices. Environmentally friendly products are easier to find and not as expensive as they used to be. Demand brings price down. Buying with the environment in mind will get easier as manufacturers adopt greener practices and offer greener products.

Going green and green shopping doesnt mean you need to spend the green. To make your shopping greener, whether its for food, going back to school, clothing, furniture, etc. buy only what you need. Take with you eco friendly shopping bags to avoid getting more plastic bags. Check labels and ingredients to avoid chemicals that are harmful to you and the planet and look for environment friendly products. Go for fair trade, cruelty free, vegan, organic, Energy Star, etc. whenever possible. Consider also your transportation to do your shopping. Green options are walking, cycling taking public transit, carpooling, and planning your shopping to avoid driving all over the place.

Here are more eco friendly tips for sustainable shopping. Ask yourself: Do I need this product? Is it non-toxic and safe to use? Is it made from renewable, recycled or post-consumer materials? Is the packaging recyclable or biodegradable? Is the product practical, durable, well made and of good quality? Will it be easy to maintain in terms of labour, time, cost and energy? Can I recycle, compost, re-use or donate the product after its useful life? Can I borrow, rent or buy a second hand product instead?
