In today’s climate of growing energy needs and increasing environmental concern, alternatives to non-renewable and polluting fossil fuels must be more available and more readily used.

With the improvements made over the last several years, solar can be the answer to your electric woes, more so than wind or hydro power.  The regulations and innovations that come together in the second half of this decade will set the stage for what the future of electricity in the US and elsewhere looks like.  

Solar is Hot Hot Hot

More solar power capacity was installed in the US last year than natural-gas capacity. The solar market grew by 17% in 2015 alone. Individuals are boarding the solar train by the droves with the residential solar market growing 66% since 2009. California is Number 1 in solar installations followed by North Carolina and Nevada.

 

This is good news for those of us who firmly believe that clean air and the stability of the planet are things we desperately need.

Leonardo DiCaprio thinks so too!

 

2016 will be a banner year with new innovations and programs spurred on by the Clean Power Plan and the Paris Talks. 2016 is also a year were we’ll be seeing 5 new solar trends.

 

Additionally as a result of the Paris Talks, countries are developing their renewable plans working toward completion by 2020. Uganda has developed a solar bus. Rwanda is constructing rent-to-own solar systems for off-grid villages.

 

Morocco is building a $3.9 billion solar energy project that will be the size of Rabat.

 

And despite all the grumbling from individual states, solar energy projects are at the forefront as required by the Clean Power Plan.

Decades of studies indicate that serious health issues (including, but not limited to asthma, learning disabilities, cancer and infertility) are on the rise, and due in some part to our ongoing exposure to toxic chemicals—whether it’s in the shower, on our commute, while we eat lunch at a local restaurant, or when we clean our kitchens at home.

Roxanne’s Guest:

Lynn Laporte

Esthetician/Aromatherapist/Certified Facial Reflexologist

Beautycounter Consultant

Phone: 774-836-0868

 

Roxanne and Lynn will discuss educating individuals on making more informed decisions and choices on the products we use every day. Her mission is to get safe products into the hands of men, women and children; products that do not contain harmful ingredients which may cause skin irritation, allergies, asthma, autism, disrupt hormones, infertility and cancer.

 

Did you know that there has been no federal legislation regulating the use of ingredients in personal care products since 1938?

 

That means the beauty industry, which is a five billion dollar industry, is at liberty to use whatever ingredient they want in the products we use on a daily basis.

 

Beautycounter along with the Environmental Working Group (EWG) are making every effort to bring awareness to the Federal Government regarding unsafe products and practices.

 

 

Beautycounter has a list of 1400 ingredients they will never use in their products, while EWG lists over 73 thousand products with their safety ratings.

 

Did you know that only 10% of 10 thousand chemicals found in personal care products have safety data? So what’s in your make-up bag?

 

Listen in to learn more!

 

You can find Lynn on her website, at www.beautycounter.com/lynnlaporte and on her Face book page. She can be reached at 774-836-0868 or via email at Lineem@hotmail.com

Is Your New Year’s Resolution To Go On a Diet……Again?

Think Sustainability for a Change

Have you ever thought about making a pledge to live greener? It’s really a lot easier than dieting.

 

Did you know that the #NationalGeographic Greenex report shows that US consumers are last in the world in terms of sustainable behavior?

 

That’s right – dead last.

 

India and China finished at the top of last year’s rankings due to their public transportation systems and food production practices. What this means is that #sustainability is about more than fossil fuels and global warming. For Americans, sustainability means making smarter choices in terms of products and companies we support through our spending. My broadcast lists a number of tips which will help us raise our ranking in the next Greenex report.

 

Favor companies that provide transparency into their sustainability. Look for companies that are public about their environmental initiatives. Having said that, according to the Boston Consulting Group, MIT Sloan Mgt Review and the U N Global Compact, 58% of corporate boards are less than moderately engaged with corporate sustainability initiatives.

 

Why?

 

Because they still believe that sustainability initiatives are too expensive and they lack a long-term view of sustainability benefits. Since corporations are some of the largest consumers of resources and have some of the greatest impact on the environment, getting corporate leadership on board with sustainability initiatives are of the utmost importance.

 

Several corporations, however, are drawing a line in the sand. They include Walmart, McDonalds, Target, Netflix, Volkswagon and the National Hockey League.

   

Several cities and states are making new commitments to sustainability by slashing #greenhous gasemissions which benefit working class families who currently pay a higher share for electricity than wealthy residents. Some states are being ranked based on a local sustainability certification program that takes into account the social environment and economic impacts of local government and community efforts

 

Ultimately green living is about doing what you can. By embracing greener best practices, you’re not only doing your part to lessen your environmental footprint, but you’re also participating in a quickly growing movement which is proving that fossil fuels have become a dead weight we are dragging around. With #Viridianenergy’s influence, the US is finally at a place that makes sense to leverage the power of green energy resources and to quit relying on older methods of extracting energy (oil).

 

   #Viridianenergy is part of a roadmap for the development of renewable energy sources across all 50 states by supplying renewable energy garnered from solar, wind and water to help the US transition to complete reliance on clean energy. #ElonMusk is an advocate and reasons that a solar power grid the size of a small corner of Arizona, could generate all the electricity the US would need.
