My New Blog

We all know there are issues with the earth that we can all help with, but how to we start? Well there are plenty of websites that can help us with suggestions Go Green and Go Green tips.

Our Team have also made an effort to help you get a head start, we are giving away Eco bags for you to use in place of plastic bags and paper bags in the supermarket or for any shopping. We all know how those plastic bags seem to mulyiply. No sense in making it worse.

Contact us for more information, as time goes by we will add more Go green tips to our webpages.

This weeks GO green tip. The sound of an idling car. It may seem like idling uses less gas than turning your car off and on again, but it doesn't.

The Benefits:

 
Less air (and ear) pollution. An idling car creates twice the emissions of a car in motion.

Saving money. Idling 15 min per weekday can cost you up to
$100 in wasted gas over the course of a year.

Saving oil. American drivers use more than 2 bil gal of fuel each year while idling.  Turn your car off if you're gonna stay put for more than 10 seconds, and BTW: Driving warms up your car way faster than idling. EPA - resources for starting an idling-reduction program at your kid's school district.

Oh, and if you have to go thru that drive thru shut it off while waiting, or better yet, go inside if you can, the lines might actually be shorter. and an added benefit,you can see that your order is correct before you drive off.

Heads up, yuppies: Must-have granite countertops may emit worrisome levels of radon and radiation. While granite is known to contain radioactive uranium, which emits radon gas as it decays, the vast majority of countertops emit far less radiation than what we're constantly exposed to from outer space and the earth's crust. But as demand for granite countertops soars and vendors expand their selection -- some now stock hundreds of types of the rock from dozens of countries -- a small number of countertops have been found to emit radiation at a level that could conceivably pose a health risk. "It's not that all granite is dangerous," says one radon measurement and mitigation technician. "But I've seen a few that might heat up your Cheerios a little." You're more likely to be struck by lightning than to get cancer from your countertop, says radiation expert David J. Brenner; but, he adds, "If you can choose another counter that doesn't elevate your risk, however slightly, why wouldn't you?"
