Green Energy has long been the focus in creating a self sufficient, renewable energy source and the U.S. is now putting it’s money where its mouth is. The Federal Government has allocated $2 Billion to improving our renewable energy infrastructure by giving this money to two solar energy companies. Some of this money will be used to fund the Solana project, which when completed will be the largest solar power plant in the world. By putting America at the forefront of these green endeavors, we are ensuring our future as we will no longer have to rely on oil produced by other countries. Also, the amount of Carbon emissions will be greatly decreased over time as we continue to improve the technology.

We will also have several other green business vendors and non-profits. It is FREE to set up as a vendor at the event. If you are interested in becoming a vendor, please contact Martin at info@globalgreenup.com
Whole Foods Market will donate FIVE PERCENT of the day’s net sales to The Girls Gone Green, a local 501c(3) non-profit devoted to raising awareness about our planet’s plight by producing news segments, appearing on radio shows and hosting festivals and conventions along with various outreach programs.

Every year nearly 130 MILLION cell phones are thrown away in the United States alone.
That’s a lot of useless equipment… Well, almost useless. The millions of unused cell phones wasting away in landfills are only considered useless because we decided to throw them out.
Did you know that cell phones are recyclable?
Yep, instead of tossing out your 1st generation iPhone when you get a new one, donate it! Not only will you be helping others in need, you’ll also be saving the planet from harmful toxins and pollutants (See it for yourself). Here are a few ways to put your old phone to use!

While it seems like everyone has realized that there must be a change to our lifestyles in order to preserve this planet, few are willing to give up the luxuries that many of us have come accustomed to over the years.
Still driving a car that sucks down gas like Frank The Tank?
It’s time to make a change, my man.
Recently, Nissan has announced their development of a completely gas free car, the LEAF. Skeptical at first, I decided to do a little research about this eco-friendly ride. Here are a few things that I’ve discovered:
No Tailpipes – The Leaf is 100% battery powered resulting in Zero emissions.
100 Miles per Charge – While you won’t be able to go on a cross country road trip, you’ll still be able to make it to work, the grocery store, and back home all in one charge.
Power – Even with a loaded vehicle (Up to 5 passengers) the car still performs at full power.
Estimated Cost = $25,000-$30,000
OK, OK… So it’s not the sweet hover crafts I thought we’d be cruising in by now like on The Jetsons, but it’s definitely a step towards the future.
