This is such a simple, easy reference to recycling by Greenprofs, we thought it worth forwarding to you in it’s original form. Enjoy!
Recycling helps to save forests from depleting, increases the quality of our water and stimulates the economy. For those reasons and many more it is important that everyone does what they can to [...]

Nevada’s clean-energy economy grew even faster than other sectors between 1998 and 2007, according to a study by The Pew Charitable Trusts. During that period, Nevada’s clean-energy industries increased employment by 28.8 percent to 3,641 jobs, compared to 26.5 percent for all jobs in the state. The clean-energy [...]
Today’s consumers are increasingly socially conscious, with a growing concern to know if companies honestly treat employees fairly while doing their part to protect and save the environment. Brand values like social responsibility, benefit to the community, and “being green” are at the top of more shopping lists than ever.
Not unsurprisingly, enthusiasts of technology are [...]

Nice to meet you! I'm new to ecoBrand. I'm beginning to build a small green home business in the Boulder City area. One of the things I'm looking forward to in the future is also creating a green website (tips, articles, recipes, interviews, products, etc.). We're having an exciting meeting tomorrow night at the Henderson Multi-generational Center. It's all about greening your home and businesses and ridding it (and the world) of toxic chemicals. Often the meetings are standing room only and they are a great place to network! We'd love to have you. E-mail me (jandlexcel@cox.net) and I'll send the flyer with all the details. Hope to see you there!
Have you set a date, yet, where I can see your products? I'd like to schedule a time, when you can see what we have to offer, as well.

I feel bad for missing the call today but I had something urgent that needed to get out this morning. I'm looking forward to the next call and getting to meet more people who can hopefully help on the Habitat project and others like it. Thanks! Rick
Are you attending the watersmart '08 conference October 8-10th? If you aren't I have a free pass. Let me know.

Thanks for the welcome!
V2G has been demonstrated in several areas, including Washington DC. Google has been promoting it in their "Recharge-It program as have the first commercial entity, AC Propulsion, in the LA area. I believe Austin Energy in Texas is into it as well. I'm going to be working up a white paper on the topic over the next few weeks.
By far, though, most people, even on the inside of grid operations, have no clue about V2G technology. We are currently working with local officials on EV public charging stations but we also hope to broaden the conversation to include V2G (at least a demonstration) and eventually Renewable Energy Payments (REPs - known as feed-in tariffs in Europe) to robustly incentivize the rapid adoption of decentralized renewable energy projects in Nevada.
I'm kinda dancing around Sierra Pacific on all that trying to figure out how best to nudge them in the right direction. Likely going to contact a legislator next week about all this too. See if we can get something going at the state level in legislative session after this coming one.
Cheers,
Bob

Hope all is going well! Please let me know if you're available next week for lunch. So glad to see you using the site and connecting with other members - that's exactly what Project ecoBrand is about.
Best,

Thanks for the note. I look forward to learning more about your products and intention. Know that if you are looking for non-profit education support or programs in Nevada, our intention is to foster education about sustainable living practices and renewable energy.
Look forward to talking more,
Leah
