A suggestion for those who find it financially difficult to be green. Search in your areas for Trade and Barter organizations. I'm sure most big cities have them. But you don't have to join a group, but people you know that you can barter with. I have done this before, traded my time with a friend who is a carpenter who builds energy efficient off-grid homes. It saved me a lot of money. Everyone has a skill they can trade. You can still be green even if you have a low-income. I've managed to do it, and having a low-income has taught me to be responsible with money. Grow your own food, or find someone who has a space you can start a garden. I live in a bachelor suite and grow culinary herbs, and baby lettuce, romaine, spinach. Also grow sprouts in jars. There is lots of info on the net about sprout growing.

Mark Kabbbash on 11 Aug 09a global leader in nanoscience energy saving solutions, provided a follow up to their earlier product announcement for Nansulate® Crystal, a clear protective roof coating for sloped roofs which provides thermal insulation, as well as resistance to UV and mold and mildew. The product successfully completed a 3-year field trial in which it was utilized on a sloped roof over asphalt shingles. The coating provided thermal insulation and energy savings as well as protection against tile degradation by UV rays and weathering. Nansulate® Crystal is a clear, nanotechnology-based coating for use on clay tile roofs, concrete or slate tile roofs and asphalt or wood shingle roofs to provide energy savings through reduction of heat transfer through the roof.
