As the World Greens

It amazes me how quickly this country has turned from a majority of the people not believing that the world is warming to most everybody jumping on the green bandwagon. As my company is starting to concentrate on bringing recycling technologies and green building products to market we are finding so many interesting new products available, and a lot of interest in placing them in the market place. As a simple product, the jatropha berry bares a biodiesel from very little processing. In the Philippines there is a project where one million hectares of land is being converted to production of jatropha berries. This land will provide over 500 million gallons of biofuel every year. This is only a small step in quelling our need for fossil fuels, but it could be an important one. More new ideas later.
