What are some cons to green energy policies?
Posted by admin on Jun 18, 2010
what are some of the bad effects of having green energy policies for one and another thing is where can I find some statistics of how expensive green energy changes would be?
Renewable energy sources have environmental impacts of their own.
Hydroelectric dams create lakes that change the natural environment and cover up heritage sites while making it more difficult for fish to breed.
Windmills are an eyesore and cause significant deaths to birds.
All of these are cons, but they are all containable and have options to get around them.
Where can I find information about recycling (plastic) in my community?

This year, my high school started a club called Go Green, where we (obviously) try to make the school and community a greener place. One thing I’ve noticed is that the students in our school alone use a lot of plastic water bottles. I’m looking for a way to get students to recycle water bottles. I’d really like something simple, like a bin that can be filled with the bottles to be sorted later. I don’t want the students to be discouraged or turned off from recycling by something too complicated though. I live in a small town of about 6,000 people so there aren’t a lot of local options for recycling. Is there a company or organization online that provides a simple service like this?
Hello,
There are a couple of options you can look at:
Earth 911 is a site that lists local recycling options based on zip code. It may be worthwhile to look there and see if there are local plastic recycling companies.
The option about talking to your town is a good one. Many towns offer recycling services to schools. Usually it requires the school to initiate the service and they provide pickup, etc.
Another option is to check out a company called TerraCycle. They have a program open to some schools where they collect plastic bottles as a fundraiser. TerraCycle makes a vermicomposting fertilizer product that they botte.
Regarding the collection, an easy way to do this is to engage an art teacher and ask them to assign it as a class project. Utilizing the boxes that paper gets shipped to your school in, have the art students come up with creative ways to decorate the boxes and communicate the message. This also eliminates the need for you to purchase containers to collect bottles in. Finally when those containers get to the point of replacement, you can recycle them with the other cardboard generated by your school.
Hope this helps!

Why does Obama keep going around telling people we need green energy?
Posted by admin on Jun 8, 2010
The only way green energy can break even is if our tax dollars are used to subsidize it.
The only green energy plan he has is to make us pay more money to use existing technology.
Why is he so misleading?
Whether you believe it or not coal and oil reserves will eventually run out.
I’d prefer not to have to go back to candles and horses.
would I be able to go to community college with no green card?

am 18 years old and a senior in high school with a 4.3 GPA but I have no papers. I came to the United States from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old and my parents had already lived here for two years and had a granted Temporary Protected Status because of Hurricane Mitch which happened in Nicaragua in 1998. They still have this protection and therefore have social security numbers and work authorizations. They both pay their taxes every year and work legally in the US. I also have my eight year old brother who was born here, the only person in my family who has absolutely no documentation is me. I have less than a month left in high school and I would LOVE to go to a state college but see that that is impossible at this moment since I can receive no scholarships or grants. My parents went to the bank and have applied for a loan so they can pay for my college but only a small amount could be lent to them and I would like to see if I can go to community college with no documentation. I would at least be able to go to school here and if there is no reform soon leave and be able to work anywhere in the world since I studied in the US
Yes, you can. They may make you pay out of state fees (depending where you are). You are paying your money so i don’t see why they would refuse you an education. Go apply and good luck.
