Making Your Business Greener

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Colin McDonald







The concept of “Going Green” has caused quite a stir among businesses in recent years. Going green is concerned primarily with making sure that a business is using their resources in the most efficient manner and that their products and services allow other customers to be efficient in their lives as well. A business that wishes to be greener will need to take an introspective look into their business operations to see what tasks could be changed to bring about a more green future. Many of the changes that can make a business function more green, are very simple to implement and will not cost any money at all.

One of the biggest factors in going green is conserving and managing energy usage efficiently. A business that has multiple office locations can very quickly add up thousands of dollars in energy costs within a short period of time. By minimizing those energy costs, a business can realize a significant amount of financial savings as well as reduce their strain on the environment and preserve more of our world’s natural resources. Going green is about much more than the money, going green is about preserving the limited resources we have been blessed with on our planet. Electricity consumption is only the first issue that can be tackled in the quest of becoming greener.

Another step that a business can take is to increase their recycling efforts. Every company will generate waste, and many companies generate a lot of waste. However, many companies also have a disproportional amount of waste for the products they product. By analyzing the amount of waste that is produced by a company, most businesses can take small steps to recycle more and to send less to the trash. By recycling a business allows their waste to be turned into products that can be used by other businesses. Getting multiple uses out of a product will allow for our planet to continue to grow and to prosper for years to come.



Our world is in a shortage of natural resources and every step that a business can take to lower their impact on the environment will be a major step towards protecting a much greener planet. Being green is a state of mind rather than a series of actions. If business leaders will spread the word to their employees that they are passionate about being an efficient business, that message will be displayed in the actions of every employee. The collective efforts of all of the employees in a business can make a dramatic impact on the environment in which they work. Simple steps now can lead to major results in the future and our world will be a much better place for it. Of course by reducing things like our business electricity use can reduce you costs too.

Moving Boxes Environmentally Friendly

Moving Boxes – Environmentally Friendly

Odd to think of moving boxes being environmentally friendly, but they are. Think about it. Most of the boxes these days – unless you are getting moving boxes from the grocery store – are flat and easy to put together. Just slap some packing tape on the bottom and you’re ready to roll.

The other point is, easy to make into a box, easy to flatten and recycle the moving boxes when you are done. You can even offer them on any one of the Freecycle.org lists in your state. Hundreds of moving boxes a year are offered and taken on these lists. Might as well contribute to the community and keep things out of the landfill. And let’s face it moving boxes are usually one of the things that most often go to the dump.

Whether or not you get your moving boxes from the grocery store or buy them from the moving company, you need to get various sizes for various items in your house. Think seriously about getting the proper moving boxes for your fragile items like mirrors or pictures. And, when packing them into the truck – if you are doing the move yourself – use extra sheets and bedding to act as cushioning.

Moving boxes should be labeled with what is in them as it is being packed. There is nothing that causes more stress than to arrive at your new home with a ton of unlabelled boxes. You don’t need the headache of trying to play guess what is in the boxes when you’re trying to set up a new home.

Here’s a tip you likely would not think about, since most people just pack what they can into whatever they have. Pack the heavier items in smaller boxes and the lighter items in larger boxes. It keeps weights more consistent. Most people tend to put the heavy items in the larger boxes, and we all can relate to what a struggle that is to load later.

Another idea to consider is your packing material to use. Many people use newspaper, which works well, but is really dirty. Ask your moving company about buying the paper they use to wrap things. It’s plain cream and comes in large sheets. Or, approach you local newspaper and ask them if the sell their roll ends. It’s an inexpensive way to get tons of newsprint (plain paper on a roll) to use for packing.

One other use for boxes, and this works well if you have small children is to save some of them when you get to your final destination, so the kids can make a fort. In fact if you can unpack a few larger boxes first, the kids can play while you set up the kitchen etc.

GREEN PLANET – Brooklyn Hair Salon and Day Spa

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Oleg







In the middle of Brooklyn, on the familiar Coney Island Avenue, a new beauty salon has opened-Green Planet. On stepping inside, you enter the atmosphere of a refined Zen-style interior. The creators of the decor used muted warm Marina tones of green and brown, supported by luscious details: live palm trees, expressive compositions in bamboo, glass vases of green apples and “mossy” balls hung from the ceiling, inviting the hands to stroke them. A well-chosen color scheme and well thought-out lighting design, with accents from natural materials, create a sensation of utter comfort for patrons, giving the establishment class, a special charm and individuality. The sound of quiet music, the pleasant smells wafting through it, the glint of mirrors in which the enchanting interior is multiplied, and the rituals adhered to, take you out of the city’s bustle into another dimension-a corner of paradise, where everything is for you and because of you. And even though the salon’s official opening took place a full six months ago, Green Planet has already managed to win the esteem of customers: they come back to the salon again and again. To discover the secrets of its popularity, we invited the salon’s owners, Lena and Marina, two young and energetic enthusiasts, to speak with us.

How is your salon different from other beauty salons?

- The main difference is the large assortment of services and the goal we have set ourselves. The hair salon offers a convenient, comprehensive service for customers: here we can do stylish cuts and makeup, thicken and trim hair, do curling, manicures, and pedicures using the latest methods. The cosmetology department helps solve problems with the face and skin, improve the figure and sense of well-being with massage, and heal the hair. Our task is to give the harried, overworked inhabitants of the big city the chance to relax, beautify themselves and lift their spirits. You can’t radiate happiness when you’re tired! We have tried to do everything to see that in the time you spend in our salon you don’t have a single mundane thought or a single unpleasant feeling. So that having had your appointment right on schedule, you leave with bright eyes, and a feeling of “I like myself.”

- At Green Planet, as in any salon, there are certain necessary expenses for procedures, which most
establishments try to economize on. We employ the kind of high-quality cosmetological equipment found only in clinics, work with professional de luxe brand cosmetics, and use natural aromatic oils rather than aldehyde substitutes, and we even offer our customers really tasty tea, coffee and candy. We respect our customers and would be ashamed to offer them surrogates when they have come for authentic beauty and real rest.

- We choose our co-workers carefully. Everyone into whose hands you come at Green Planet has
undergone a strict selection process. These are not just licensed American practitioners, but high level professionals who have spent time in European brand schools and have experience in de luxe salons. It would be hard for me to single out anyone in our team-each and every one is a “star” at what they do!
Slava, for instance, is a splendid masseur: he knows lots of techniques, he’s a real virtuoso at them, and can choose an individual sequence for literally anyone. Anna is a brilliant manicurist, does nail extensions- real marvels! Alik is a wonderful unisex hairdresser, no one does a better cut, especially on thin hair. Sveta does incredible highlights, and Nina does creative hairdos for special occasions. Zarina creates a kind of jewelry-she makes eyelash extensions out of natural mink hair. Natasha, our cosmetologist, also has “golden hands.” And when professional French cosmetics are in those hands, or the best microdermabrasion device on the market, the Diamond Oxy Derm, or the microcurrent lift by the prominent French brand Guinot, or the marvelous next-generation multifunction laser from Candela, there is no limit to the cosmetic services she can offer.

I see you’re proud of your co-workers! What unique procedures can you boast of?

- The Mossa waving system, of course! Its delicate formula, based on plant material (bamboo extract, in particular), is a real find for women with traumatized hair and sensitive scalp. Thanks to an innovative development, the preparation allows temporary and permanent curling and healing of the hair. Only the Mossa waving system allows highlighting and tinting to be done at the same time and is ideally suited for lightened hair, which needs therapeutic treatment. Curls created by the Mossa waving system come out enchanting-incredibly lively and manageable, gleaming with health and looking like natural curls. Another advantage of such a hairstyle is that as the hair grows out naturally, there is no sharp line of demarcation, since the waving system doesn’t fade hair color and doesn’t harm the structure of the hair.

- We have also opened a hair and scalp therapy studio on our salon’s premises. Everyone who is losing hair or who is troubled by dandruff, itching, deterioration in the outward appearance of the hair, and different types of alopecia or seborrhea, should pay special attention! If you call the salon and make an appointment with a physician-trichologist, you will undergo a thorough computerized diagnosis, find out the specific cause of your problem and receive the proper effective course of treatment using current special nonhormonal preparations, physical therapy programs and homeopathy and phytotherapy techniques. Remember: healthy hair enhances looks in both men and women! What other services would you like to invite readers to try?

- If you ladies want to change your tired old image, welcome to Green Planet! A new hairstyle, new hair color (we work with outstanding hair-sparing ammonia-free colors), waving system, fashionable makeup-your wish comes true! We also have our splendid facialists, Nina and Angela. Masters at a high, “runway” level, they do both standard and airbrush makeup. They can do airbrush tanning as well. The results are perfect! So my advice to brides-to-be is: take note of all this! Our salon specializes in bridal services.

- I highly recommend that both women and men consider the question of removing unwanted hair. Fall is the time; the sun isn’t so hot and you can have a silky smooth skin in time for winter trips to the warm sea. The latest device from Candela deals with it quickly and painlessly.

- I’d like to add that we have other special offers for men as well-massage, hair loss treatments, and a package of cosmetic services using a special men’s line of cosmetics.

GP Hair Salon and Day Spa is located at 2711 Coney Island Ave. Brooklyn, NY 11235. To make an appointment, call 347-554-8108.

Recycling Bins and the Three Rs of Ecological Conservation

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Charles







As early as 400 B.C., humans are already aware of a process that creates new commodities out of used materials – recycling. It’s either for the lack of new materials or awareness of what it can do to the environment, to create a better world, to make a greener universe.

Recycling bins are a welcome development to our already hectic lifestyle. No need to go through the hassle of manually segregating household wastes. Offices and schools can easily implement rules to simply throw the garbage in the right bin. Everybody has his own responsibility to contribute not to exhaust our precious natural resources. Nature has its own way of collecting debts when it is due; it is never too late to make a contribution, after all, we live in the same planet.

The Three Rs of Ecological Conservation

Reduce

Less garbage simply means less consumption. Buy less to consume less. Overconsumption is a thing we are all guilty of. Turning on the television even if we are not watching out of a habit or leaving the lights on in a broad daylight just because we feel like doing it.

The faucet is running and water spilling all over. These are the things we unconsciously do. Stop and consider. Not only we are wasting valuable energy resources, we are also wasting our own limited resources, so to speak. We pay the bills with hard earned money for the things we unknowingly waste. Water counts, every drop. Can we ever imagine life without it?

Reuse

Every day, we buy products packed in reusable containers, fancy bottles from our favorite soda, or paper bags from the latest shopping spree. Be smart, reuse them. It does not mean one is being “cheap” when reusing things. Remember, a purchase someone made is not just for the product consumed but for the packaging as well. Bear in mind, we have paid for the fancy jar, maybe more than the contents itself so it is better to make the most out of our investment, right? Patronize establishments that carry reusable equipments, we never know when we will finally find that perfect coffee table at half the price. It is another tree that will remain standing in the forest. Without being fully aware, in a small way, we are making a big difference.

Recycle

We can contribute to this noble cause even by starting small. Segregate household waste. It is an easy task and with the availability of color coded recycling bins for paper, plastic, glass and biodegradable wastes, it can even be taught to the youngest member of the family.

Paper is the most used material in our day to day activities but the easiest to recycle, too. Sometimes, waste segregation is organized in local communities so everybody can participate, socializing while giving the environment a breathing space, not only for ourselves but for generations to come. Bring the trash to the local recycling station rather than straight to the landfill which, by the way, emits high levels of carbon dioxide and methane, glasses and plastics will probably stay there for many a century to come, slowly killing the planet we live in.

Boston Mercedes dealership supports a trip around the world

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Russell Levron







In an effort to promote and prove the abilities of its B-Class electric fuel-cell vehicle, Mercedes-Benz has announced they will put the vehicle to the ultimate test: a trip around the world. The journey was recently announced at the Detroit Auto Show and is set to commence January 30th. Needles to say, from every Boston Mercedes dealership to those in LA, the entire Mercedes-Benz community, as well as supporters of a greener environment are excited to see what this new technology could offer the automobile industry.

The journey is scheduled to be 125 days long and the route will pass through 14 countries, including the southern part of the United States. Additionally in America, the B-Class F-Cell vehicle will run from LA, up the coast of California and into Vancouver. An exact route and the corresponding dates have yet to be released by Mercedes-Benz.

A tank vehicle will follow the B-Class vehicle since Hydrogen filling stations are not abundant throughout the world. Hydrogen is what the vehicle runs on and the journey is, in part, an effort to increase awareness of the need for this kind of infrastructure around the world, if vehicles like the B-Class F-Cell are going to make it in the public market. In all, Mercedes-Benz said the point of the adventure is to demonstrate the “technical maturity of the B-Class F-Cell, as well as to underscore the need for a global hydrogen filling station network.”

The B-Class F-Cell that your local Boston Mercedes dealership hopes to have on its lot in the near future uses only hydrogen and oxygen to go. A group of fuel cells, called a fuel stack, generates electricity to propel the car. Hydrogen enters this fuel stack on one side and oxygen enters on the other. The fuel cells then cause the electron and the proton of the hydrogen cell to separate and electricity is created as a result. The only by product leftover is water. Thus, this means the B-Class F-Cell is 100% an emissions free vehicle. Furthermore, if the hydrogen is produced in an environmentally friendly process such as through a wind-powered turbine, the entire process can be emissions free. Most importantly, the entire process is sustainable.

Mercedes-Benz has been testing this technology for nearly four years now with vehicles leased by individuals to use as personally needed, as well as through a University Police Department at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. Mercedes-Benz chose Detroit, Michigan specifically because of the cold climate. Critics are skeptical of many alternative fuel vehicles’ ability to perform in extremely cold climates.

The Wayne State University Police Department had no complaints. In fact, they were so happy with their experience with the B-Class F-Cell vehicles that they wrote to Mercedes-Benz asking to be considered for future test vehicles. Mercedes-Benz plans for the B-Class F-Cell vehicle to become mainstream in the market exist in the next few years.

In the mean time, for residents of Boston, Mercedes’ ML Class may be a good alternative. The small SUVs travel well in the snow and are a great size: not too big and not too small for the streets of Boston. Mercedes ML Class SUVs start at just over ,000.

Check http://www.mbusa.com for updates about the B-Class Fuel-Cell vehicle’s trip around the world.

Biosphere Technology and a True Green Planet

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Darewin Ocampo







Biosphere Technology is our last remaining ticket towards a True Green Planet. Many innovations in green technology and the sustainability industry have been tried but none have been able to stay at par with brown technologies. The lack of efficiency has always been the fatal flaw of clean energy that has driven away consumers. Efficiency is vital to satisfy the high demand of consumers. With this revolutionary process, efficiency even conventional technologies could have only dreamt of is now possible.

Biosphere Technology generates efficient energy while at the same time eliminating waste because trash is its feedstock. In other ways, it needs to devour garbage first before it can produce power. This is the most desired trait any environmentalist and energy consumer could ever ask for. Waste is something loathed by everyone. It is unsightly, stinky, and hazardous to the health of humans, animals, and the planet as well. Everyone wants waste gone. And with this groundbreaking system, trash will be eliminated as a bonus to the energy generation process. It is like curing two illnesses with one vaccine. The planet is healed from the wounds caused by trash and the human hunger for energy is sated.

The very little quantity of pollutants produced when creating power with Biosphere Technology makes it very clean and environment friendly. Hence, it provides yet another bonus; the prevention of further air pollution. With it eliminating the result of the waste management problems of the past while also preventing future air pollutants from contaminating the atmosphere it is definitely the best pass towards that True Green Planet we have always wanted. The planet is in grave need of our help and care and if nothing is done we and all other life forms in the planet will face dire consequences. The planet is our home. It is only fitting that we preserve it. Through preservation of the planet, we ensure the continuity of our species.

The Importance of Recycling.

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Jessica







Modern living seems to generate a huge amount of waste; at work, at home or when we are out and about. But as a society, we are becoming increasingly clued-in to our environment and the negative impact we are all having upon it. This has meant it is no longer a simple case of making sure we use the nearest litter bins for our rubbish…

We now have several different receptacles for various types of domestic waste. Some may still have to go to the landfill, but we recycle whatever items we can. Bottles, plastics, paper, grass cuttings and vegetable peelings are all taken to the relevant facilities and given a new lease of life. Recycled items are now used to make packaging, paper, compost and even clothing or footwear. This is brilliant news for the environment and it makes you wonder why it has all taken so very long to come about.

Over the years we have buried thousands of tons of materials and many of these could have been re-used. Germany, Spain and many other European countries seem to have been years ahead of us in terms of recycling. Although you cannot help wondering why this is, there is no real point in looking at it in this way. It may have taken us a lot longer to understand the importance of using recycling bins, but it is simply a case of ‘better late than never’.

Even though it has taken such a long time to come into being, just about everyone is now doing all they can to reduce the negative effect they are having on the planet. We are encouraged to re-use our shopping bags and to walk more and drive less. Many of us also try to make use of renewable forms of energy whenever it is possible. This may only mean putting rechargeable batteries into our cameras or it can mean having solar powered heating installed in our homes.

So what will happen in the future? Will we find even better ways of living in harmony with the planet? Well, everything we are doing at the moment is having a very positive effect on our world. And the more ways we continue to change, the better. People are still thinking up new methods of doing things every day. Manufacturers are striving to use less packaging for their products, we are far more aware of how far our food has travelled and scientists are working towards greener fuels with car companies. At the moment, it seems is if there are still plenty of areas which can be improved upon.

In the years to come we should all be living much greener lives. Recycling will have become second nature to us all and we will automatically think up ways of doing things which will have little or no lasting effects on our environment. The air will be cleaner, our food will be healthier and our children will be grateful that we turned things around when we did.

Money Saving & Environmentally Friendly Tips for Good Car Maintenance

February 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

Article by Joey Lee







Car fuel prices are fluctuating and escalating through the roof. Research shows the average age of vehicles to be 9 years. So is keeping your old car and stretching your work horse even further being environmentally friendly? How can we do that without having to spend more on maintenance?

It is a natural course with your car engine wear and tear affecting performance and car fuel consumption gets rises.

Check out the following good practice car maintenance to enhance the longevity of your vehicle:

Cars are like humans, you need to keep them in tuned with the seasons. Remember to change to winter tires and add anti-freeze. Plug in your electric cord to warm up the engine half an hour before you start your journey.

And in summer, check your fluids too. The sun heats up and dries the fluids more quickly. Check your oil level, coolant fluids etc. Keep your car in a covered garage.

Sign Up For A Comprehensive Regular Tune-Up Package. The mechanics will do your oil change, change your air filters, check your spark plugs, radiator and fuel injector, test your brake pads, tire pressure, rotate your tires (if required) as well as tune your wheel alignment. Have the computerized system checked by your specialist mechanics. Life saving devices such as the air bags, antilock breaks etc must be checked for safety too.

Change Your Oil Every 3 Months Or 3,000 Miles. Here is a simple example to help you visualize. Imagine re-using the same pot of oil for deep-frying your French fries everyday for 3 weeks… the oil has become a thick crude of glob and your fries tastes weird doesn’t it? Same theory goes for your car. Revitalize your car engine with a fixed scheduled oil change routine.

Listen & Feel the Strange Warning Signs. Be conscious of squeaky noise, gasoline smell, and oil leaks on your garage floor. Check where the noise comes from. Early detection of car faults could save you a ton of money.

Befriend A Good Mechanic. Not only will you save money, you save yourself some anguish from unscrupulous mechanics some of whom change your good parts for bad or recommend unnecessary jobs.

And now, get ready to enjoy the ride!

The Making of a True Green Planet with Biosphere Technology

February 18, 2011 By admin 1 Comment

Article by Darewin Ocampo







Biosphere Technology Makes the Planet True Green

The planet is in jeopardy because man who is supposedly its caretaker has failed miserably in his mission. Man not only failed to protect the environment, he has caused it severe devastation in the attempt to sate his seemingly insatiable appetite for energy. Man abandoned nature for his own convenience. Man has forsaken the environment many times; not caring how much the planet hurt as long as his craving for energy is satisfied. Man is guilty of defiling the environment and it is only fitting that he is the one who corrects his mistakes. The making of a true Green Planet should start now and the best way to do it is with Biosphere Technology.

Biosphere Technology is an energy generation process that generates the least pollution among all known energy sources. Gasifying limiters prevent the escape of carbon gases into the atmosphere thus preventing air pollution. Pollutant by-products of energy creation are the primary cause of the greenhouse effect which in turn leads to global warming and climate change. By providing an alternative that cleanly creates energy consumers can now refrain from using traditional sources that bring great desolation to our planet. The prevention of future air pollution will take us one step closer towards having a True Green Planet.

Biosphere Technology’s greatest strength is the fact that is uses solid waste as its feedstock. It therefore effectively eliminates waste whenever it produces energy. This completely solves waste management problems because it provides a true means of disposing waste. It is far more efficient than other waste management methods because it not only gets rid of the trash completely, it transforms it into energy. Conventional processes of dealing with garbage such as the land fill system only relocates the garbage and does not really eliminate it. Getting rid of all the garbage that plague the environment is another means of facilitating the rebirth of the earth into a True Green Planet.

We are the keepers of the planet and we owe it to the next generation to safeguard the environment. A sustainable planet is the best legacy we can leave behind for future generations. Let us all do our part. God gave us the blessing of rationality. Let us think of what is best and do the right thing.
