Become Green!

Apr-4-2009 By Barbara Zak

Last Saturday, March 28, 2009, proved to be the most successful Earth Hour ever.  With nearly 4,000 cities and  towns participating in over 88 countries world wide, the message of caring about climate change  was sent loud and clear.

The next big event in  the “green” movement, is Earth Day, which is April 22.  It is my pleasure to keep you informed on natural living tips and ideas, as well as, environmental issues that are important to us all.

I believe that this Earth Day page will offer you the power to find; natural cosmetics, resource conserving appliances, and tips on how you can do your part to reduce waste for the environment.  You will also find meaningful eco-tips at Become.com’s  “Earth Day Tips and Resources”

So, what is Become.com all about?  They are a comparison search engine designed to help consumers doing product research on the web. They crawl over 3.2 billion web pages specifically from guides, expert reviews, consumer reviews, articles, specifications, forums, merchants, and a variety of other useful information to help consumers make better buying decisions.  Become.com also has a “Nearby Stores” feature that allows users to plug in a zip code and get store names, addresses, phone numbers, hours and Maps.  This feature can help you go shopping in your community, and be armed with informed choices.

They also have a blog  about featured green products that they carry.  It is a relatively new blog for them, but they are anticipating more eco-friendly product posts for the near future.

Become.com was recently named one of the best deal-tracking websites by PC Magazine, and selected as Best Search and Comparison site by the Sloan Center for Internet Retailing at the University of California, Riverside .  At the following link, you  can also view additional industry recognition and awards for Become.com

It is my hope that the information provided here, along with what Become.com has to offer, will help you in making the best and most informed  decisions in your green living quest.  Together lets work for a better tomorrow, and the best Earth Day ever.

JellyFish Windpower!

Due to the enthusiastic response (over 100,oo0 enthusiastic submisssions), it is taking longer than anticipated to review all the applicants for Google’s Great Idea Contest.  Called Project 10^100th Power, Google’s initiative has been collecting ideas from the public since last year.  The deadline to submit your idea was October, 20, 2008.

The idea behind this project is a call for ideas to change the world, by helping as many people as possible.  Google employees, with the help of an advisory board are now in the review phase (this phase began on Jan27,2009) of this portion of the contest.  Voting for your favorite idea will begin on March 17, 2009.  I will keep you informed, and plan to have it set-up for you to cast your vote here. for the Chad Maglaque’s JellyFish -plug-in wind power machine. You can show your support for his invention, and leave comments for him at You tube.

Funding from a pool of $10 million, will be awarded in May.  If the judges approve 5 winners, each will recieve $2 million.  If only 2 winners are chosen, each will recieve $ 5 million.

Project 10^100 is much like the Google sponsored Lunar XPRIZE,  which is a $30 million International competition.  The plan is to safely land a robot on the moon, then travel 500 meters on the lunar surface.  The object then, is to collect data and images and send it back to earth.  Currently, there are 16 teams competing.  The first team to successfully land on the moon and complete the mission objectives, wins the prize!

There’s Green Boots On The Roof!
