Great blog!
If the economics don’t work, recycling efforts won’t either.
Http://LivePaths.com blogs about innovative entrepreneurs that make money selling recycled items, provide green services or help us reduce our dependency on non renewable resources.
These includes some very cool Green online ventures, great new technologies, startups and investments opportunities.

This reminds me of a version of the 12 Days of Christmas we all here at AltE came up with (when apparently we had too much time on our hands!). It’s probably best entitled the “Solar Geek’s 12 Days of Christmas” since a lot of the reference are very particular to our DIY’er solar retail/wholesale industry. Hopefully a few of you solar geeks out there would enjoy:
1. A Sunlinq and a Batter-eeeee
2. Tube-ular Skylights
3. D/C Breakers
4. Power Panels
5. Golden Shunts
6. Solar Easements
7. Solar Lanterns
8. Mates a-blinking
9. MX60’s
10. Shurflo’s pumping
11. L.E.D.’s dancing
12. Solar Modules
It kinda’ “works” when you sing it along with the tune - if ya know what I mean.
