Wire and Twine, a company of designers, coders, screenprinters, photographers, artists, moms, dads and down-to-earth people that like to make things, has put together their list of 50 Ways To Help The Planet. These are simple suggestions about coffee stirrers, cotton swabs and matches that when added together can make a difference. Not only are they simple, but fun also! We particularly like the suggestion to shower with a loved one to conserve H2O. Can I get an Amen? We also love the tongue-in-cheek T-shirt of the Cincinnati Transit System! The list also suggests that we buy locally and if you are in the Midwest, this eco-friendly company that makes things is based out of Oxford, Ohio.

Now, there is something that you don't see everyday...the Green Dean Team was heading to an appointment the other day and saw a wind turbine in the middle of an industrial park!

So, we 180'd and went over to the Time Factory to see what was going on.  As it turns out, the Time Factory purchased and installed their own 50 Kw wind turbine to furnish enough energy for their offices and production facility.  Now, bear in mind that this is Indianapolis, where the statement was overheard that wind power will NEVER work!

Two weeks ago, Dean had the pleasure to sit down and have an extended conversation with Jeff Echols, Assoc. AIA, CGP.  Jeff works at an architectural firm (http://www.haus-arch.com/) and has been posting a blog on how to include green technology and products when RENOVATING or IMPROVING your home.  The blog is full of information and provides that information so that you don’t have to be building a NEW home to get all of the benefits.  Check it out and tell Jeff that GreenDeanTV sent ya!
