The price of energy is rising at an exponential rate. What can we do about this? Well, we can start by going green. Making your own natural energy is the way to go, and is bound to explode within the next year or so. Here are three reasons why you should go green right now.

1. Green Money

Making your own natural energy is one of the best ways to save money especially now that the economy isn’t doing so hot. Energy bills are rising every month making it harder and harder for millions to get by. By making your own natural power you can save up to 80% on your energy bill every single month. You can even earn money from a renewable energy source if it is producing enough energy. This means that your energy company will be paying you rather than you paying them!

2. Everlasting Environment

Fossil fuels and other finite forms of energy are slowly killing our planet every single day. Renewable energy sources are healthy and just as effective as fossil fuels but do not harm the environment at all. By creating a natural energy source you will be on your way to helping out the environment. As people we need to do our part to protect planet earth and creating a green energy source is one of the best ways to do it!

3. It’s Cheap…For Now

The most important reason why you should go green right now is because this market is bound to explode. This means that in a few months it will be very difficult to find the resources you need for a reasonable price. At this very moment it is possible to find a very reliable guide to making your own energy source for around $50, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this price increases by 10x within the next year. The resources are there and the prices are dirt cheap. Will you go green when the time is ripe, or when the prices begin to soar?

Many people are not yet aware that there is a type of nutritional supplement called a super green food that can help prevent disease and reverse the signs of aging.

It is comprised of whole foods direct from nature that can actually help conquer cancer, nerve damage, diabetes, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, clinical depression, as well as provide all the nourishment your body needs to stay healthy and strong – for life. If you want to boost your immune system, energy levels and brain power taking a super green whole food supplement every day can help.

Not your typical pond scum

Most super green foods contain blue green algaes called micro-algae, since they are microscopic forms of freshwater algae. Both chlorella and Spirulina are microscopic plants that grow in fresh water and contain a plethora of nutrition.

They’ve been around for quite some time now: nearly a few billion years. Even though these are some of the earliest and simplest life forms on the planet, they appear to have every form of nutrition the human body needs to survive.

These micro-algae contain an astounding array of abundant supply of nutritional elements: vitamins, macro minerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, protein, nucleic acids, micro nutrients, chlorophyll and a vast spectrum of phyochemicals. In fact, a person could literally live off these micro-algae and nothing else. They make the perfect whole food supplement because they are so nutritionally dense.

Bigger is not always better

These super foods range in size from 2 to 8 microns, which is about the same size as a human blood cell. They appear green due to their high chlorophyll content. Harvesting these nutrients form the algae requires special centrifuge equipment, which is one reason why people don’t grow their own micro-algae for individual consumption. Most of these super foods are grown in vast water farms located in parts of the world where the climate is warm and sunny.



Chlorella and Spirulina, two of the main ingredients in Enerfood Super green energy drink, contain zero refined carbohydrates; they are high in digestible protein, high in chlorophyll, high in essential fatty acids and have no “bad” fats.

Kelp is a type of seaweed that has a rich source of vitamins, especially the B Vitamins, as well as many important minerals. Studies have shown that it can be beneficial to brain tissue and the membranes surrounding the brain. You need specific nutrition to support the function of the sensory nerves and the spinal cord, as well as the nails and blood vessels. Kelp can provide this nutrition.

It has been used in the treatment of under active thyroid problems because of its iodine content and is useful for other conditions such as hair loss, obesity and ulcers.

Many health practitioners recommend a daily green food supplement, especially for people with mineral deficiencies or mood disorders.

Try using a super green whole food supplement every day for a week. One tablespoon in a glass of juice is all it takes. They are also cost effective. Taking a tablespoon of super green energy food costs less than a typical fistful of vitamins.

I have noticed this happening over the last 3 years and find it bizarre how so many conservatives are now coming around after being so against clean energy. Why is this?
I imagine they will because they seem more concerned with blending in than taking a stand for what they believe in.

It is getting more and more popular to ‘go green’, and many Americans are leading the way in their housing choices. One area recently reported that their realty market was stagnant except for a big rush on newly built homes that were extremely energy conscious to run.

They boasted solar heating and this is one smart choice in a sunny area. Your neighbor’s bill will be twice as high as yours, you will always have hot water to hand and solar power can be transformed into other energy and stored for when you want to run different appliances.

It may be that many of these buyers are trying to help the environment, but one good side effect of going green, is that the running costs will be less once you have set yourself up to be operating an energy conscious home. Heating and cooling systems can account for up to a half of your total ‘non-green’ energy bill.

One place to read about saving energy in your home is Energy Star, the government’s on line site. Their many tips point out which energy is being wasted and where and how to avoid it. The on line site offers advice and free booklets to send for, and gives dozens of pointers on how to live green and how to build green.

One of the sites on Energy Star also gives you the top ten tips for finding a good (green) building contractor in your area. Of course, there are other small ways that you can save energy and save the money in your pocket. One of their recommendations is that you stop buying the old-fashioned light bulbs and start buying the new compact fluorescent light bulbs.

These are expensive to buy at first, but on the cost of one light bulb, you can save up to $30 over the lifetime of one light bulb. If you live in a hot climate, you may be pleased to know that they put out less heat, so will also keep your air conditioning costs down. This is a very small change for you to make, yet it does save your cash and it also saves the environment.

The local governments and/or the federal government offer a selection of rebates in their efforts to try and encourage people to become more energy conscious in their homes.

These grants, or one time rebates, can cover several different areas of green living. For instance, if your own state does not offer incentives for you to buy an efficient wood stove or furnace, you may be able to get one from the federal government.

The amount of the grant does not cover the cost of buying a new stove; however, it can save several hundred dollars from the price.The grant usually extends to people with an existing wood stove or fireplace, who wish to replace it with one that burns using the modern combustion system.

If your are planning to buy a home that is going to be built from brand new, remember that many builders will add your requirements in at the end, so therefore it is often easy to ask for preferred green options in a newly built house.

There is also a scheme that is run through the Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM). Under this scheme you can use green building materials and designs and qualify for a green mortgage. You can even get financial help from these people if you are only planning to renovate, as long as you will be using green techniques and ideas.

If you want to find out more ideas about how to incorporate environmental considerations into the design, you will get some input from the green site at the National Association of Home Builders (NAH). Their site also includes such simple pointers as planting trees that let light in to the home in the winter, and give shade in the hot summers, as well as tips on water conservation, and other reminders.

Some of the luxuries in a home which are not so ’sustainable’ are being changed – gradually. For instance, granite counter -tops are still fashionable, but buyers will often choose the ‘look alike’s’ made from engineered stone. Although granite is a ‘naturally found’ stone, and therefore sustainable, it is very heavy and uses a lot of gas being transported around the country.

Similar ’swaps’ are made with hardwood floors and kitchen cabinets. Bamboo is widely used in homes by people who prefer to use sustainable resources. Bamboo wood flooring looks like oak hard wood floors and is equally as hard wearing.

It must be ‘the’ most sustainable resource on our planet: it can grow up to a meter in one day which is one and a half inches per hour. (This is under special accelerated conditions.) But even under normal conditions it grows in one tenth the time of an oak tree!
