MISSION #3 - IMAGINE

IMAGINE: The year is 2020 and I’ve just plugged my car in for the evening. Total Solar, the leading edge solar power for residential users, is competing toe-to-toe with the big electrical utilities. Everyone is going solar. I’m running my household 100% solar now. I have a backup generator if I need it, but I never turn it on. Today is a very special day. It’s national Celebrate Solar Day. My hot water, my stove, and my heater are all powered by the power generated by my Total Solar system. My… Continue

Mission #3 - ACT

ACT: We all know that little things make a difference. Two things I intend to change to save energy are first, to switch to a non-battery operated toothbrush. The second thing is to minimize what laundry I put into the dryer and use a clothesline instead.

Mission #3 - LEARN

LEARN: Growth in the Solar Power energy sector in the United States grew by 17% in 2007, and is projected to compose 10% of our country’s energy needs in 2025. The keys to future success of the industry are they need to make components easy to plug together and use. The electric utilities need to make a commitment to bring solar energy into the array of sources currently feeding the power grids. Tax incentives should be extended for further research and development

Mission 1 - Imagine

When you feed a man a fish he eats for a day. When you teach a man to fish…he doesn’t go hungry again. Tomorrow and the day after that, people need a minimum of a high school education in general, to financially succeed in our country. Next Step Learning Center in Oakland is one organization that exists to help adults who wish to get their GED’s. It is made up of volunteer tutors. I tutor each week in order to make a better tomorrow for these individuals, and participate in a world where we all… Continue

Mission 1 - Act

There is a woman in my town who works for the church. She is 70 years old and spends thirty hours per week giving of her gifts to the church. She has supported others in need financially and through time and talent. She has just entered bankruptcy. She didn’t write off any debts. She just negotiated payments based on her bankruptcy with her creditors due to her integrity. She lives on limited social security and regularly depends on the charity of others for regular meals, for which she is… Continue

Mission 1 - Learn

Food insecurity in the US is on the rise according to the US Census Bureau. Food insecurity is measured as diminished food consumption, or a change in eating patterns due to a shortage of funds. This could include increases in food stamps, or reliance on food pantries. Households which experienced higher food insecurity reported impacts on food security occurring more than six months of the year.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
