This increased efficiency and reliability has come with a major price tag for the economy. To help curb the use of natural resources UPS joined with the EPA,  the Eaton Corporation, and military vehicle manufacturer Navistar International Corporation to develop and road test a more eco friendly delivery truck. The result was the P1000 HHV Hydraulic Hybrid truck, which could be hitting UPS delivery routes by]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[The United States is one of the largest polluters in the world, and the U.S. State that produces the most pollution Texas. The state's capital, Austin, has always marched to the beat of its own drum, and its environmental policy is proof of this. For example, Austin offers large tax breaks to citizens who install home solar panels, bringing the total cost of conversion down to 6,000 dollars. Full solar conversion can run upwards of 20,000 dollars per house without tax breaks, so the city is offe]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[George Clooney is just one of the names on the waiting list for the much anticipated electric car with some serious speed and sex appeal... the Tesla Roadster. The car uses a pack of laptop style batteries instead of an internal combustion motor to get some serious speed and power, with performance and sleek design comparable to a Porsche 911 not usually associated with eco-friendly vehicles. The Tesla Roadster is priced at 100,000 per vehicle, but plenty of people besides Clooney are on the wai]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[More and more garages all over the country are offering conversion services that can turn your hybrids into plug ins that can get up to 200 miles per gallon. The conversions involve the replacement of the Hybrid's battery with a lead acid or lithiun ion pack, and installing the proper electronics that enable the batteries to be charged from an ordinary wall socket. This is the same type of technology being developed by Chevy Volt and the new Toyota Prius.  While those companies are a couple year]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[The Green Microgym in Portland, Oregon  will become the first gym in the country to harness human energy from fitness bikes and convert it to electricity. Specially built motors hooked up to spin bikes will convert energy created by people exercising on the “eco bikes” into 200- 600 watts an hour of electricity, which is then stored in a special battery bank. The electricity in the battery bank is then used to power equipment, like the gym's energy efficient treadmills, which use 30 percent less]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[California's Proposition 7 would become one of the most aggressively eco friendly laws in the nation and would legally require California to meet some very high standards in renewable energy. Prop 7 would require that half of California's energy be produced by renewable resources by 2025. This would mean that in 17 years, production of energy in California from solar, wind, and other renewable resources would have to more than quadruple from their current annual output of 10.9 percent.

						<description><![CDATA[This is a very environmentally friendly fuel, made from natural vegetable oils such as soybean, canola, and animal fat that produces anywhere between 40 and 80 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuels. And it generates a whopping 90 percent more energy than it takes to produce it. But there are still problems with the biodiesel industry. Since its produced from food crops, it has caused inflation in agricultural products in a time when all food costs are climbing. And Europe]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[Algae is the fastest growing plant life, and as an organism it converts sunlight into oil, scientists theorize that Algal biofuel can produce a whopping 30 times more energy per acre than any other biofuel option. The US Department of Energy has estimated that if Algal Biofuel replaced all conventional fuel in the country, it would require 15,000 square miles of land to harvest the algae... which is roughly one seventh of the area that is used to harvest corn in the US every year. And a diverse ]]></description>

						<description><![CDATA[These bins, which generally come in green, are marked "yard waste only," but what exactly does that mean? A lot more than fallen leaves and lawn trimmings from your back yard can be taken away in the eco-friendly bin. The yard waste bin is actually for anything that is organic and biodegradable, materials that account for about 23 percent of US waste. The contents of the bin will not be taken to a landfill... instead they will be composted in an eco-friendly manner. So what can you throw into yo]]></description>

The modern technological world has made its people its subjects; it has made them ignorant and keeps them in ignorance. We are basically ignorant, ignorant of the basics–where does our food come from? Where does our water come from? And importantly, where do our wastes go? We live cut off from ourselves because of this lack-of-touch with the natural things. And our foundation is weakene]]></description>

Since our aim is to break free from the system, we have taken some small steps in our yard and lifestyle to make it happen.  Great goals, however, come at a great price.  Thus, it has been a real, sweaty struggle to learn a new way of living.  Things don't turn out the way we want them to.
