INSULATING APARTMENT WINDOWS

INSULATING APARTMENT WINDOWS              In my searches to find new ways to improve window treatments that will save energy I found these new videos. It looks like the bubble pack with large bubbles works well and is being used all over the country. Perhaps some manufacturer will find a way to make a blind out of this? Anyway. I keep searching and the world keeps innovating.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sycJwM-w27I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqD5fdEj8t8 http://www.builditsolar.com/index.htm http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/5-ways-to-insul-37643 And for those of you who are needing another cup of coffee about now... here is another way to save money.

Changing the delivery systems locally

Democracy has many faces and these days the most interesting face that democracy shows is in the way it is moving towards lower costs for power and towards more sustainable electricity. The video link below shows how citizens in Boulder, Colorado intend to shape the future. All of this will hasten change and move us in a better direction. Locally owned power systems have always saved a community money and taxes. Cutting out the middle man pays a huge dividend for everyone involved. With lower costs and greener electricity more companies will be able to expand their bottom line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh1qCf-ohOQ
