New Month - Get Greener
The purpose of the group is to provide information for those interested in Greener Living, leaving the world a better place for future Generations.
From this point on, it will be the RULE here in Greener Living that we only supply a SHORT EXCERPT of an article you wish to share with the group.
Then you provide a LINK to the rest of the article, so that those interested can go to the article itself and read the remainder of it.
All links are to be posted as such, this is the link to the Eons Terms of Use – (www.eons.com/about/terms) which will show the address without the http:// which would only lead people to a “view link” which for security reasons we should not do.
We do not want to be in violation of copyright laws, and by posting the entire article, even if you give credit to the author is against copyright laws and the TOU here at Eons.
If these guidelines are not followed with any post from 6-4-08 on, they will be deleted to protect our group, Eons, and copyright laws.
Now remember that a lot of our members have been living Greener for some time, for others they are just starting out. So our suggestions, tips, ideas and thoughts are what we are doing, what we have read, or are thinking of doing.
Let us all help one another to make a difference, remember if we all did one thing, we ARE making a difference.
Be sure to look in the files sections for information shared, and jump on in, have fun with us, make new friends, and go GREEN!
Group Changes
Hello everyone, Coloradonite is going to take over a Group Manager as I am having some health issues and need to cut back on the number of groups I am in. I leave you in good hands and know that this group will continue to grow as people become more and more aware of the need to GO GREEN.
Thanks for being an awesome group.

How to Green Your Electricity
The cost of electricity is going up (both in dollars and in environmental and health impacts) and it doesn’t show any signs of doing otherwise.
About half of the energy in the American grid is coal generated. We won’t bore you with what you already know: coal is a really stinky, dangerous, nasty, unsustainable, and silly way to make power.
By using less energy, and greening the electricity that we do use, we can lighten our footprint immensely.
The subject of electricity and its environmental impacts is a massive one and we can’t cover every corner of it here. We hope that this brief guide can offer some solid suggestions for greening your electricity and use thereof.
