RENEWABLE ENERGY

We can meet future energy needs and be good stewards of the planet by using all forms of energy more efficiently while making the broadest possible use of renewable energy sources, including photovoltaic and thermal solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, biofuels and more.

GREEN TRANSPORTATION

Hybrid cars reduce exhaust emissions and improve fuel efficiency without sacrificing utility. Better: all-electric cars and trucks, neighborhood electric vehicles, electric scooters and human-powered vehicles. Also important: mass transit, ride-share and vehicle-share programs.

GREEN BUILDING

Our homes and buildings can be far more efficient users of energy, water and other resources. Strategies include optimizing insulation, foundation to roof; super-efficient windows; solar hot water and electricity; geothermal heating and cooling; low-flow showers and toilets; xeriscaping.

GREEN CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Many consumer products are now available in green, socially responsible versions: paper and plastic goods with recycled content; clothing made from organically grown fibers; fair-traded, sweatshop-free goods; non-toxic cleaning products; organic food; E*Star appliances, etc.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION

As society outgrows its throw-away habits, we can greatly reduce waste and conserve water, soil, timber, metals and other key resources. Most disposable materials are recyclable. Decaying waste can produce energy. Organic matter can be composted. The list goes on.

RELOCALIZATION

Today, much of our food, fuel and consumer goods originate thousands of miles away. A promising alternative is relocalization: bringing production of food, energy and basic necessities back to our communities, thereby creating jobs, promoting local commerce and enhancing security.
