If so, take a look at Pick Up Pal, a free web-based service that was created exactly for this purpose. The way it works is you register for a free account, set up a group page, then send an invite to group members. Pick Up Pal handles the management and organization of the ride share or carpool.

For example, let’s say you want to start a ride share at work for that 5K planned next month. You set up a PickUpPal group page for the 5K, email an invite to those who are participating, then members are encouraged to request or offer a ride to fellow group members. It’s all about making collaboration easy and accessible for everyone.

In other words, welcome to ride sharing web 2.0, baby!

To easily set-up a ride share group visit PickUpPal.com

This is great idea for those place where fresh and clean water is in limited supply, simply because it looks like a standard water container, but once filled with ten litres of water the sun does the rest of the work for you.

There is an indicator which shows a red or green face, green is good and when the indicator is on green there the water inside is ready to drink, this process will take anything between three and four hours depending on how contaminated the water is.

This creates steam, which will go on to turn turbines; it is these that generate the electricity. This process has been used in other countries such as Spain, where the climate permits such a system, as this can only work in hot countries with little cloud. These plants however can produce around 20 Mw of power.

(The above chart lists green hosting companies in the order of price per month.)

How are these companies green?

GoodAdvocado is a small hosting company that is 100% carbon neutral and also plants 1 tree for every new account.  GoodAdvocado would be good choice for a small business owner who need good customer service since most small hosting companies have faster customer-service in general.  I do really like the fact that they plant 1 tree for every new website created, it would be even better if they could put up some pictures of that.

At $4.99, this is probably the cheapest green hosting you are going to get.

HostPapa is another good choice for green hosting.  They use 100% green energy sources, here’s an except of how they do it:

After an energy audit by an outside provider to calculate our total electrical energy consumption from traditional sources, HostPapa purchased “green energy tags” or certificates from a certified green energy supplier. That supplier calculates the total energy consumption of our operation and uses their suppliers of green energy to pump in 100% equivalent energy back into the power grid. This effectively cuts down on the carbon dioxide-producing (CO2) energy that we normally would have required from non-green energy sources.

EthicalHost donates 10% of our pre-tax profits to social and environmental organizations.  They also use 100% wind power through energy companies Vision Quest and the Pembina Institute.

ThinkHost is another company that use power of the wind and sun to power their servers. Here’s some things they do beyond their own business:

Social responsibility extends beyond ThinkHost’s business into the day-to-day lives of our staff. Our team members are involved in human rights/refugee advocacy, peace initiatives, drug and alcohol counseling, environmental rehabilitation and sponsorship of families in third world countries. We are activists supporting and applauding other activists—we understand the world you’re in, because we’re in it too.

Probably most of you have heard of DreamHost as they are a pretty big hosting company well known in the hosting industry.  Dreamhost is an employee-run hosting company and they even claim to use recyclable coffee cups, which is a good thing.

Here’s an excerpt of how they are green:

Putting a price on carbon output is just one way to help make the world a better place. It’s a first step towards true energy sustainability. Organizations large and small are constantly working on reducing their environmental emissions. When they do so a neutral third party then steps in to verify the reduction and issues what are known as “Renewable Energy Credits”.

We’ve purchased enough of these credits – which are retired after purchase and not resellable – to account for our energy usage. The proceeds of these credit purchases are then put toward funding further emission reduction and renewable energy projects.

SolarEnergyHost uses 100% carbon-free solar power for all their servers.  I do like the fact that this company uses 100% solar power, power of the sun under one roof.

Here’s an excerpt of how they do it:

At Solar Energy Host your website is hosted using solar energy- the energy powering your site comes directly from the sun! This is better than “Carbon Neutral” because it does not involve the purchasing of Carbon Credits. By hosting your website with Solar Energy Host, you are making a real difference in reducing climate change.

Should you go with green hosting?

Oh definitely, if you are running/starting a small business, you will need to setup some kind of website.  These hosts are more eco-friendly and green than most regular hosting companies and I don’t see why not you shouldn’t support these green businesses.

Well, that’s the Top 7 eco-friendly and green hosting companies we’ve reviewed.  I know there’s tons more out there but we only listed the most reasonably priced and “green” companies here so if you find better ones, please feel free to leave a comment.

In my previous post I already put out a post that some groups in the world today are looking to transform their trash to energy. While there were no specifics, this is because there are a lot of different waste categories to choose from. It is not solely from “trash” alone.

Potato Waste

Farmer Philip Johnson asked Durham County Council for permission to produce electricity – enough to heat 1,200 homes – from potato waste from the Walkers’ crisp factory, in Peterlee.

With the request granted, about 1,000 tonnes of potatoes a year will be pumped through an anaerobic digester, along with about 7,000 tonnes of agricultural crops and 2,000 tonnes of manure.

That will generate 500kw of electricity for the National Grid and 8,000 tonnes of fertiliser.

These small business owners are anti-big and anti-TRADITIONAL advertisting. They aim to make a profit as any other business, just not at any cost. They value their customers, they value where they operate, and they value most of all, being socially responsible.

One of the businesses showcased is vegan shoe shop, Moo Shoes. They are small, women owned, based in New York, and market cruelty-free products (vegan shoes). Below is what they have to say about how they present their product. 

Antipreneurs do pay careful attention to how their products are presented. Moo Shoes, a $1.2 million New York vegan shoe store with five employees, has made its shop a community hub for information about the vegan lifestyle and about animal cruelty. This spring, Moo Shoes hosted Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, a national agency for stray and abused pets. Best Friends set up pens and cages in the store with about 20 homeless dogs and cats. Customers learned about the agency and the strays, and two cats were placed in city homes. “We care about animals, and getting animals homes is important to us, though not directly related to the shoes,” says Moo Shoes co-founder Sara Kubersky.

Moo Shoes have been written about here on Keetsa a gazilllion times, i love their stylish and funky designs. I love this type of company, those who successfully mix profit with compassion. Moo Shoes also tends to support smaller artists, as they give the sustainable shoemakers a venue to market their wares. In turn they too are able to meet the demand of animal lovers who prefer not wear leather and other animal-based materials.

How do they get the word out?

Moo Shoes places ads in vegetarian magazines (e.g. Vegetarian Times) and other non traditional media. As you can imagine they go where there customers tend to be located. They support animal organizations and preach the gospel of cruelty-free living.

They are well known (and respected) in the the community in which they serve, this is how they get the word out, and how they stay relevant.

Let me get serious for a second. I was perusing the site that Matt has created and on the left sidebar is a section devoted to his eco friendly offerings. He has futon frames made out of sustainably harvested lumber (from Pennsylvania), futon covers made of recycled fabrics, and a selection of organic futon mattresses.

What Makes the Futon Covers Eco Friendly?

The futon covers are made using 89% post-industrial recycled polyester, and 11% post -consumer recycled polyester.

If you’re looking for one, give Matt a visit. With all his years of experience, he should know how to direct you to what you need.

The wise man would normally say, “not if I can help it”. Help what? Is it for an improving state or simply trying to allow global warming to dominate the world and mankind today. Whatever the choice may be, it still remains that global warming has indeed set down on us today. We just have to admit that we, the creators of mankind, have a duty to try and put a stop to it as well. The next step to avoid it is entirely up to us.

But as always there is an alternative and you may be surprised at what it is! This great product is concrete, yes the stuff that they pour out of the back of a truck. The fact is concrete produces the same finish as granite, it can be poured into a mould which will give some great shapes and because concrete is made from limestone it is much more sustainable.

Surprisingly concrete is probably the same in price as granite, so there will not be much of a saving in money, but the real saving is to the planet.

How does it work? 

1.) register an account online 

2.) check to see if your cell phone is compatible

3.) receive mobile coupons directly to your cell phone (just show your phone screen to cashier, they will use the coupon code displayed)

This is way cool for several reasons, such as there is nothing to cut-out, print, or carry. All you need is your handy dandy cell phone.

What kind of coupons are available?

Everything from Blockbuster DVD rentals to Papa John’s Pizza, to Enterprise Rent-a-Car discounts and more.

Why is this green?

Because not having to carry or rely on traditional paper coupons means less trees are cut down. Over 100+ million trees are cut down every year for the use of coupons and direct mail. 100 plus million trees!

This new eco friendly coupon alternative is convenient, fast, easy, and FREE.

Adam Werbach was recently featured on the cover of Fast Company, and many are either with the innovative environmentalist or against him.

Why? Because Werbach has decided to join forces with big-box retailer Walmart and help them go green. Many are stating that this is not the way to advocate green living as Walmart is not known for its eco friendly practices.

Walmart is a HUGE conglomerate and it is a known fact that at that large a level, it is almost impossible for huge changes or even small changes to take place without a myriad of management approval. Not to mention that Walmart customers aren’t exactly eco conscious. How will Adam Werbach work his magic to make this behemoth company go green?

He is betting the ranch on the 1 million plus employees scattered across the globe, to become green evangelists. He figures if he can reach this demographic, the employees, he can also in time reach the customers.

Your turn, what do you think, can Adam Werbach reach this demographic, can he make Walmart become known as a socially-responsible company? Or is Walmart just using his  good name and eco-cred?

This is an attempt by Nike to green-up and become more sustainable, one beef i have with this green line, is you have to climb mountains to find it on their website. Nowhere is it prominently displayed or brought attention to. I only found the line through their search feature. I would think the eco line would be front and center.

But in any case, i found this great canvas messenger bag, that is really cute and is made to be sturdy enough for books and has a nice rugged feel to it.

Whatever kind of business you run – whether a clothing shop, a restaurant, even an online only venture – know that you CAN make it green. Start by looking at your operations, and ask yourself the following questions:

• how can we reduce, reuse, or recycle? what products are really just extra dressing (such as fancy packaging) and don’t need to be bought or used at all? (such as coffee sleeves) can you find creative ways to reuse paper in your office?
• what can be bought locally? looking at your supplier list are there local suppliers you have not thought of or looked at? is there food you can start using that is grown and sold locally?
• how can you conserve energy? is there any equipment that can be put on strip surges, instead of the wall outlets? are your computers left on all night, how about lights? why not draft up a plan for your employees to come up with ways to conserve, maybe even reward the employee with the sharpest green idea.
• can you sell more in one trip to a customer? with this idea, you are conserving in energy costs with less trips and less shipping from both suppliers and customers
• do you NOT want to set yourself apart from the competition? sure, when you go green you are saying so many things, you are saying hey, i care about the planet, hey, i care for the future sustainability of my business and hey, i care about the growing demand for eco friendly products and practices
• what eco friendly materials can i start using? from fsc certified wood for furniture shops to sustainable fibers for clothing retailers such as bamboo, hemp, canvas, organic cotton there are a number of different ways to add some green in your business
• any other ideas? there are tons more, share some of your own in the comments section below

If you stand back and take a good look, there are so many ways to go green in business, you just need to ask yourself some questions, and go from there.

Th Kumho Epoch concept car brings together sustainable materials like bamboo, which is used for the chassis, and green ideas like using recycled tire thread rubber for the cars body panels. The eco friendly car even features an aromatherapy scented cabin, gotta love that.

Bamboo aside from being renewable, durable, and very strong – brings a beautiful aesthetic to just about any product – in which it is featured.

The Bio Jet is the creation of Green Flight International and although it has flown in the past with a mixture of jet fuel and biodiesel, last week was the first time, that it flew with only biodiesel. The plane is a L-29 military aircraft and this is what the founders of Green Flight International had to say in response to their concept:

“Out of concern for our global environment, Green Flight International was conceived by Douglas Rodante in April 2006 to serve as a platform for future development in the use of environmentally-friendly fuels in aviation and elsewhere. “It is imperative that the global community take immediate steps to reduce our carbon footprint, because we can no longer afford to wait while our environment continues to degrade.” said Rodante. “By implementing even a small amount of bio-degradable fuel in our transportation system we can significantly reduce the CO2 (greenhouse gasses) and NOx (the precursor to smog) that contribute to global warming.”

For example, you can attach the HYmini to bike handlebars or your arm while jogging or walking and this eco friendly charger/adapter will collect power for later.

Swept Away Media writes:
“Spend an hour outside in the sun with HYmini and you’ll get enough power for 2 full hours of MP3 playtime. Ride your bike for an hour, with HYmini strapped on your arm, or mounted on the handlebars, and you’ll have enough power for over 50 digital photos or about 15 extra minutes on your cell phone. Mount HYmini on a car window, drive about 40 MPR, and you’ll generate enough power to listen to over 8 hours of music on your MP3 or chat on your cell for over 40 minutes”.

This is super neat and you will probably see more of this type of device in the coming months and years, but for now this is the first of its kind. Price is $50 for the basic wind power only model. There are optional solar panels one can buy.

This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.

With the growing biodiesel industry the demand for soybean crops is skyrocketed, which is creating a boon for local Mississippi farmers, who will see an increase in the price paid to them for soybeans.

Why biodiesel?

Biodiesel is cleaner fuel and made from renewable resources, not to mention a local domestic product, which means less reliance on foreign oil.

The new biodiesel will be available to both commercial and public users, here is a list of the diesel service stations from Scott Petroleum.

Ecopod Founder Hazel Selina

Why not go out in total eco friendly style with a low impact coffin. One such option is the Ecopod, which is the creation of Canadian Hazel Selina, who was involved for years with natural birth, and after a dear friend became ill, plus her interest in all things Egypt and ecology, she got to thinking of the idea and ARKA Ecopod Limited was born in May of 2006.

Ecopods, are eco friendly caskets made from 100% recycled paper and covered with handmade silk-screened paper. The low-impact coffin took over 9 years to develop and be designed. The gold leaf pod, which is their premium casket, is lined with feathers, so we say NO to that one. The shape of the Ecopod is seed like and for the creator it signifies a seed being put into the earth.

The look, feel, and especially smell of cedar is unmistakable, now imagine all that in a pencil. I think it would make a lengthy writing assignment, just a tad more pleasurable, also the shape of the pencil is hexagonal so it doesn’t slide around in your hand, or roll off your table. The finish of the pencil is all- natural unfinished and smoothly sanded cedar, no lacquer or varnish of any type is used.

To round out the vibe the packaging is made from recycled content. For a sublime and very detailed review of these earth-friendly pencils, check out the Pencil Revolution Blog.

Wood, Plastic, or Composite? 

Umbra Fisk who writes a column at eco site Grist, answers the question. The reader wants to know if when building his deck, he should choose wood, plastic, or composite? (a blend of wood and plastic) First Umbra advise to check with local shops like Home Depot and Lowe’s for FSC certified wood, which is certified sustainable wood. I’ll explain FSC at the end of the post. If the local shops don’t pan out, she then advises to look for reclaimed, salvaged, or locally milled wood. If that is not available in your area, then move on to composite and then finally plastic options. If going with plastic, choose recycled plastic versus new virgin plastic.

What is FSC Certified Wood?

The acronym FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, and this organization created a  FSC label program to enable consumers to consider cabinet grade lumber that does not come from a decimated forest or threatened tree specie. The program ensures environmental responsibility.

To Recap:

• search local shops for FSC wood
• look for reclaimed, salvaged, or locally milled wood
• then move on to composite and plastic options
• if going with plastic or composite, choose recycled

People have become health conscious and this does not entirely focus on the environment they are living. The usual basic necessities and needs have become the center of controversy for various groups hence, the need to buy wisely is now certainly emphasized.

Consumers will not be as flexible when it comes to purchasing commodities and products. It all boils down towards knowing what to purchase and what they can get out of it. Organizations need to adhere towards green standards. Otherwise, they may end up folding operations due to lack of reliability as far as benefits are concerned.

The level at which an individual would take the issues of global warming and climate change today would depend on how they understand it. Also, a lot would rely on the relevance of the issues today would have with regards to the manner of living. Just imagine in schools why most activities are inclined towards instilling green awareness education as well. Children think less of the benefits of keeping the environment clean but if asked individually, most of them would consider it only routine.

Elder people would value the world more. They have seen the good and bad consequences and are aware of what is going on today. The various events and happenings can be attributed to the way that people live and most of the old ones know what such contributing factors are.

In all, I guess it would depend on how people get oriented and placed in front of the truth of it all. That is perhaps the best alarm clock anyone could have when it comes to appreciating the green efforts and green movements we have today.

Eco-friendly Moo, originally uploaded by amee@work.

Moo is a cool and hip online print shop, that allows one to import photos from social sites like flickr, bebo or second life (and a few others) and turns them into either a sticker book or mini calling cards. You can also upload photos direct from your PC.

What makes Moo eco friendly? As this flickr photo shows, they print on paper sourced from sustainable forests, and their paper boxes and cards are both recyclable.

I first heard of Masaya Market through an article a photojournalist wrote over at Matador Travel, when she visited as part of mission work. The Nicaraguan locals create everything from wall art to ceramics from kitchen accessories to exotic wood bowls. 

The handmade tortilla bowl pictured above is made with a blend of exotic woods and they are all one-of-a-kind. The bowl is truly beautiful in design and with each purchase you’re helping to boost both the artisan community and also the missionary work performed by Americans in Nicaragua. The site was created by a mission worker named Eric Paulsen.

Visit the Masaya Market for handmade and unique home accessory design ideas.
