Dear Stephanie,
Hi my name is Linda Perkins and I have been married to Gary Perkins for forty years and I can assure you that he has never left any comment on your web-site and I would like an opportunity to clear his name. Please e-mail me and I can send you some of the things that he has really said. He never said that we don’t want solar facilities only that the placement of the needed to work with the surrounding farms. He has been on a state solar committee for the last few months.

And contrary to the belief none of the solar companies are building at the old radar site or even close to it.

Through the Spirit of Innovation Awards (http://www.conradawards.org/), high school students with a passion for science and bettering the world have a chance to patent their inventions, be interviewed in Popular Science Magazine or BBC World News, or even attend the Annual White House Science Fair and be recognized by President Obama.
The Conrad Foundation Spirit of Innovation Awards (SoIA) is an international, multi-disciplinary program that combines the Foundation’s commitment to five core principles: innovation, education, entrepreneurship, project-based learning, and community engagement to advance achievement in science, technology, education and math in U.S. schools.
SoIA presents student participants with a very broad challenge: create an innovative product that can be used to address a real-world problem with a real-world solution that can ultimately be viable in the commercial marketplace. Students are given a blank slate within several major categories, including clean energy, aerospace exploration, clean water, agro science, and cyber security. They’re also required to conduct research to determine their creation’s potential market impact, and develop a full business plan while working with mentors including world-class scientists, engineers, academics, and business leaders.
Through entering the Wild Card Summit Invitation sweepstakes, everyone can have a chance to attend the Innovation Summit at NASA from April 28 – May 1, 2011 in San Francisco, where they can make their innovative dream a reality.
The opportunity closes on February 28, 2011.
We would like you to extend this exciting opportunity to your readers before it’s too late. If you would like to feature this opportunity on your blog or if you need more information regarding the Conrad Foundation or the Spirit of Innnovation Awards, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I’m Kelsey Rohwer, the Online Communication Intern for Planet Forward. We are a user-based website where our members can post innovative ideas on energy efficiency, alternative sources, pretty much anything that can help push our planet forward. We partner with National Geographic and PBS.
Recently I have been promoting the amazing content on your website through Planet Forward media outlets. We would love for you to become a member and contribute the ideas on your site. The best ideas have the chance to appear on PBS’s Nightly Business Report. I see this as being a great collaboration!
I have recently visited your site and wanted to get in touch as i work for the website OilPrice.com and was hoping to speak about the information you are currently showing.
Our team has spent the last 3 months creating some excellent free Alternative widgets and after looking at your content and style our designers think they would be a great fit for you.
(There is no charge for using them and at present there is nothing else like them available.)
The Free widgets cover Solar Energy, Wind Power, Nuclear, Hydroelectric, Ethanol & Geothermal. We also have other widgets that cover fossil fuels, such as Crude oil and Nat Gas.
All widgets are interactive and are constantly moving – which adds to their interest and value to visitors. They are superbly designed and the data provided would normally be very difficult to obtain and especially difficult to package into meaningful charts and graphs.
Alternative energy production (by method: Solar, wind, hydro, etc..)
Worldwide energy consumption (by country – figures updated every second)
Worldwide energy production (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal, Ethanol, Crude oil, etc.. updated every second.)
Installation is incredibly easy as you just take the code by the side of the widget and paste it into your site. There is also an installation guide to the right of the screen.
Hopefully you’ll find them interesting and valuable – and if you have any questions, problems or would like us to tailor make one for you please do let us know how we can help you.

I came across your post about eating insects, so I thought I’d reach out to share a cute video from the Taiwanese animators at Next Media Animation about eating insects.
I hope you can share the video with others. Feel free to also post the video to your site. Just please remember to credit “Next Media Animation” if you do.
We were thrilled that you posted the piece about last year’s EarthCare Challenge and hope you’ll share this year’s exciting contest details with your readers once again!
Environmental learning starts with a great foundation. Proving you can never be too young or too old to make a difference, five regional school groups have been named Finalists in The EarthCare Challenge, the national “reality game show inspired” green competition run entirely on Facebook! Youth teams from California to Wyoming to New Jersey are now facing off to see who’s better at greening their communities (in their own ways!), as they compete for a $1,000 cash grant and fabulous eco-friendly furniture prizes. The public can “tune in” on Facebook and “vote” for their favorite before March 31, when event sponsor Hickory Springs and its Green Expert Panel will pick the winner. It all happens at: http://www.facebook.com/earthcarechallenge

I’m a biologist and I’m writing an article for the Swiss animal and family
magazine “Tierwelt”. In this article I would like to introduce some
lagomorphs. We have 2 here in Switzerland the Lepus europaeus and the Lepus
timidus. And at few places the European rabbit.
But there are many other Lagomorphs in other countries, which I would like
to bring in mind. As it is a family magazine, I need pictures to catch
attention of the readers
Could you please help me with any pictures of rabbits, hares or pikas? I would love to get a picture of the pygmy rabbit, that fits in a hand. I saw a picture of yours on the website http://www.peachygreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/091012_pygmy_rabbit_lg.jpg
Would you give permission to use this picture with a notice of the copyright? If you agree, I would love to get the picture as big as possible im Form of jgp.
I hope you can help and the swiss people learn more about the fascinating
life of these endangered species.
I haven’t heard back from you with anything negative Re: The image on one of your hubs so I’ll assume that everything was PD and move on with release of the trailer. I guess you will have had to mention it somewhere if it wasn’t PD. Feel free to contact me.

Hamptons Luxury Homes’ Telemark Subsidiary Becomes first Building Performance Institute Accredited Contractor in the Hamptons
Bridgehampton, NY (April 21, 2011) – Telemark, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hamptons Luxury Homes (HLXH.PK), today announced that it has achieved Building Performance Institute (BPI) accreditation and is the first contractor in the Hamptons to achieve this accreditation.
Frank Dalene, President of Telemark, Inc., made the announcement noting: “Hamptons Luxury Homes and its subsidiaries are national leaders in the construction industry in terms of our commitment to and expertise in the areas of green-building and energy-efficient performance. We use the latest technologies to enable our clients to achieve old fashioned savings.”
BPI is a nationally recognized program that seeks to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and safety of existing homes. “We establish goals for a client’s home, perform various tests for energy loss and then provide an analysis of the potential cost savings that can be achieved based on the recommendations that we make,” Dalene stated.
Among the services that Telemark provides to its clients in the Hamptons are:
· The Telemark Home Energy Audit whereby a Telemark BPI certified professional conducts a Comprehensive Home Assessment to gauge the home’s current performance. Based upon the findings of this audit, specific performance goals are established and specific recommendations are made to achieve energy cost savings. Telemark goes one step further by supplying an estimate for any work required along with the corresponding energy savings. The home assessment consists of several items including blower door and draft tests to calculate air exchange and identify areas of heating and cooling loss; infrared imaging to verify hot and cold spots as well as insulation air leeks; combustion analyzers and relative humidity sensors to determine the indoor air quality and combustion safety tests to ensure that the area where the boiler and furnace are located is ideal for efficient and safe fuel combustion.
· Telemark Service & Maintenance works directly with an estate caretaker or staff or directly with the homeowner to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, durability and safety of each home. Whether the owner lives in the home year-round or only on a seasonal basis, Telemark is able to provide 24/7 services allowing for additional inspections of the home in the event of inclement weather.
· Telemark House Watch is a service whereby Telemark is able to inspect a house on a regular basis to detect minor issues before they become major, costly problems. Weekly inspections ensure that one’s house is operating as efficiently as possible.
· Telemark Annual Assessment is a service in which each year the Company’s BPI-certified professionals test and provide a report on the performance of all of the property’s energy areas annually thereby providing a yearly-comparison that can show maintenance items that may be considered capital improvements to the properties. In addition, this annual assessment enables the performance of all the property’s sub-contractors to be reviewed so that the owner can be assured of competitive prices and outstanding workmanship.
Hamptons Luxury Homes and its subsidiaries are national leaders in the construction industry by becoming carbon neutral two consecutive years with a commitment to continue doing so in the future. As a result of this and awards received for green building projects, including the HGA House on Long island, the company is at the forefront of green building in the New York area. The company demonstrated this commitment to sustainable building more than three years ago when it was one of the founding members of the Hamptons Green Alliance (www.hamptonsgreenalliance.org) a consortium of contractors and tradesmen in the Hamptons committed to “green” building practices.
About Hamptons Luxury Homes

We were wondering if you would be interested in letting us guest blog

you and give you technical information on our biodegradable plastic
company (http://www.caseycontainer.com)
Hello! My name is Hailey Mills. I’m very passionate about Hemp as most people who get to know this wonderful resource we have. I really enjoyed reading your blogs on the different natural resources. I am writing to you as I would like to write a guest post on your blog.
Our “First Jigsaw Puzzle – Square” for 1-3 year olds recently won the 2011 Dr. Toy Best Green Product Award and the 2011 Dr. Toy Best Vacation Product Award.
It is a chunky, 4-piece, solid hardwood jigsaw puzzle for 1-3 year olds. It has the unique feature of interchangeable pieces which enables multiple solutions, keeping your child’s interest over time.
It is made in Missouri from locally sourced, sustainably harvested solid maple and cherry wood and hand-finished with a beeswax/oil. Packaging is made from 100% recycled material.
Was reaching out in an effort to introduce to you our not-for-profit organization School Charging, we’re looking for a little help with spreading the word. Have read a number of your blogs and hubs, clearly this is a topic your passionate about and would love to hear from you to see if we might be able to work together.
I’m very interested in guest blogging for you. If you could point me in the right direction, or let me know if there is any possibility, I would greatly appreciate!

Great Article on the Pandas Thanks for mentioning Pandas International and our word with the Giant Pandas. Pandas did not reach this point by their “own accord” but by the actions of humans destroying their habitat.
Thanks again for your article.

Food sampling has been remastered with the help of Peggy Cross, creator and designer of the EcoTaster Mini by EcoTensil – an eco-friendly, compostable tasting spoon made from smooth paperboard.
By using less material than other disposable spoons, the EcoTaster weighs less, and takes up only a fifth of the space that other plastic and bio-plastic utensils do. This makes for easy transport and storage. Plus, the EcoTasters stack up neatly for self-dispensing!
A simple pinch turns this utensil into a fun-folding taste tester – ideal for in-store events, catering and product sampling.
And just because the EcoTaster is environmentally friendly, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work as well (or better) than regular spoons. With a larger tasting area, the EcoTaster leaves plenty of room for a more fulfilling, satisfying bite.
It only takes 2-5 weeks for the EcoTaster Mini to fully decompose in a home composting bin! Bio-plastic utensils, however, may take up to 6 months to fully decompose and need very specific conditions to break down. Many aren’t compostable in commercial composting facilities.
Both affordable and efficient, this product no longer makes cost and sustainability a trade-off.
Would you be interested in featuring EcoTasters on your blog?
The synchronized stretching photo with the foxes is photoshopped, you can tell if you compare all 3 sets of front paws. The heads are probably pasted in.

how about kids writing letters in usa to save our wild horses – wild horse annie did in 1971 and the wild horse act was passed
currently the bureau of land management under ken salazar is on a death march to round up all our wild horses, sterlize them and put them in holding pens, off the 26 million acres that was allocated to them in the prior wild horse act – blm then turns around and leases the land for oil drilling and cattle ranchers – these are your public lands – if you want to know what many horse people across america are trying to do save our wild horses – barely 10,000 left in the wild please go to http://www.thecloudfoundation.org -ginger kathrens is the ownder and has done 3 videos for pbs on cloud a wild stallion in montana that is going to be destined for rounding up again by the blm – help save our wild horses
I found yesterday’s USA Today article, “’Solar-coaster’ hits as sun sets on federal subsidies” quite interesting and wondered what your opinion was… As energy historian Daniel Yergin said in the article, “Even with subsidies decreasing, I don’t expect the solar industry to wither as it did in the 1980s when it entered the “Valley of Death.” Today, this is really global business. … This is not game over.”
On the flip side, are you hearing any rumblings about companies that can safe harbor funds? I know that a new organization called Sol Haven Fund provides financing for solar PV projects for nonprofits and tax-exempt entities. With the 1603 Federal ITC Grant program expiring in 87 days, any qualifying project that has not been funded will have missed this opportunity. I understand Sol Haven offers nonprofits and tax-exempt entities a way to safe harbor solar PV projects so they can move forward even if the deadline passes, ensuring their projects become a reality, and that adequate time is available for proper planning and execution. Have you heard about this fund?
Cheers,
Phyllis

The Conrad Foundation Spirit of Innovation Awards (SoIA) is an international, multi-disciplinary program that combines the Foundation’s commitment to five core principles: innovation, education, entrepreneurship, project-based learning, and community engagement to advance achievement in science, technology, education and math in U.S. schools.
SoIA presents student participants with a very broad challenge: create an innovative product that can be used to address a real-world problem with a real-world solution that can ultimately be viable in the commercial marketplace. Students are given a blank slate within several major categories, including clean energy, aerospace exploration, clean water, agro science, and cyber security. They’re also required to conduct research to determine their creation’s potential market impact, and develop a full business plan while working with mentors including world-class scientists, engineers, academics, and business leaders.
Through entering the Wild Card Summit Invitation sweepstakes, everyone can have a chance to attend the Innovation Summit at NASA from April 28 – May 1, 2011 in San Francisco, where they can make their innovative dream a reality.
The opportunity closes on February 28, 2011.
We would like you to extend this exciting opportunity to your readers before it’s too late. If you would like to feature this opportunity on your blog or if you need more information regarding the Conrad Foundation or the Spirit of Innnovation Awards, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Hi Peachy Green-

Dear Stephanie,
I have recently visited your site and wanted to get in touch as i work for the website OilPrice.com and was hoping to speak about the information you are currently showing.
Our team has spent the last 3 months creating some excellent free Alternative widgets and after looking at your content and style our designers think they would be a great fit for you.
(There is no charge for using them and at present there is nothing else like them available.)
The Free widgets cover Solar Energy, Wind Power, Nuclear, Hydroelectric, Ethanol & Geothermal. We also have other widgets that cover fossil fuels, such as Crude oil and Nat Gas.
All widgets are interactive and are constantly moving – which adds to their interest and value to visitors. They are superbly designed and the data provided would normally be very difficult to obtain and especially difficult to package into meaningful charts and graphs.
To see what we have please take a look at: http://oilprice.com/free-widgets.html
The widgets focus on:
Alternative energy production (by method: Solar, wind, hydro, etc..)
Worldwide energy consumption (by country – figures updated every second)
Worldwide energy production (Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal, Ethanol, Crude oil, etc.. updated every second.)
Installation is incredibly easy as you just take the code by the side of the widget and paste it into your site. There is also an installation guide to the right of the screen.
Hopefully you’ll find them interesting and valuable – and if you have any questions, problems or would like us to tailor make one for you please do let us know how we can help you.
Best regards,
James Stafford

Hello again from The EarthCare Challenge!
We were thrilled that you posted the piece about last year’s EarthCare Challenge and hope you’ll share this year’s exciting contest details with your readers once again!
Environmental learning starts with a great foundation. Proving you can never be too young or too old to make a difference, five regional school groups have been named Finalists in The EarthCare Challenge, the national “reality game show inspired” green competition run entirely on Facebook! Youth teams from California to Wyoming to New Jersey are now facing off to see who’s better at greening their communities (in their own ways!), as they compete for a $1,000 cash grant and fabulous eco-friendly furniture prizes. The public can “tune in” on Facebook and “vote” for their favorite before March 31, when event sponsor Hickory Springs and its Green Expert Panel will pick the winner. It all happens at: http://www.facebook.com/earthcarechallenge
Let me know if you’re interested!
Please contact me via email for the press release.
Best,
Fay Schulgasser

Hello,
I’m a biologist and I’m writing an article for the Swiss animal and family
magazine “Tierwelt”. In this article I would like to introduce some
lagomorphs. We have 2 here in Switzerland the Lepus europaeus and the Lepus
timidus. And at few places the European rabbit.
But there are many other Lagomorphs in other countries, which I would like
to bring in mind. As it is a family magazine, I need pictures to catch
attention of the readers
Could you please help me with any pictures of rabbits, hares or pikas? I would love to get a picture of the pygmy rabbit, that fits in a hand. I saw a picture of yours on the website
http://www.peachygreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/091012_pygmy_rabbit_lg.jpg
Would you give permission to use this picture with a notice of the copyright? If you agree, I would love to get the picture as big as possible im Form of jgp.
I hope you can help and the swiss people learn more about the fascinating
life of these endangered species.
Kind regards
Ursula Glauser
Hi again Stephanie,
I haven’t heard back from you with anything negative Re: The image on one of your hubs so I’ll assume that everything was PD and move on with release of the trailer. I guess you will have had to mention it somewhere if it wasn’t PD. Feel free to contact me.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On April 21, Telemark, Inc., a company who builds and renovates “green” houses, on Long Island, issued a press release that states that Telemark is the first contractor in the Hamptons to achieve accreditaton by the Building Performance Institute. The release is below. Do you want to interview a Telemark executive? If so, please email or call me. My number is 312-943-1100.
Sincerely,

Hamptons Luxury Homes’ Telemark Subsidiary Becomes first Building Performance Institute Accredited Contractor in the Hamptons
Bridgehampton, NY (April 21, 2011) – Telemark, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hamptons Luxury Homes (HLXH.PK), today announced that it has achieved Building Performance Institute (BPI) accreditation and is the first contractor in the Hamptons to achieve this accreditation.
Frank Dalene, President of Telemark, Inc., made the announcement noting: “Hamptons Luxury Homes and its subsidiaries are national leaders in the construction industry in terms of our commitment to and expertise in the areas of green-building and energy-efficient performance. We use the latest technologies to enable our clients to achieve old fashioned savings.”
BPI is a nationally recognized program that seeks to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and safety of existing homes. “We establish goals for a client’s home, perform various tests for energy loss and then provide an analysis of the potential cost savings that can be achieved based on the recommendations that we make,” Dalene stated.
Among the services that Telemark provides to its clients in the Hamptons are:
· The Telemark Home Energy Audit whereby a Telemark BPI certified professional conducts a Comprehensive Home Assessment to gauge the home’s current performance. Based upon the findings of this audit, specific performance goals are established and specific recommendations are made to achieve energy cost savings. Telemark goes one step further by supplying an estimate for any work required along with the corresponding energy savings. The home assessment consists of several items including blower door and draft tests to calculate air exchange and identify areas of heating and cooling loss; infrared imaging to verify hot and cold spots as well as insulation air leeks; combustion analyzers and relative humidity sensors to determine the indoor air quality and combustion safety tests to ensure that the area where the boiler and furnace are located is ideal for efficient and safe fuel combustion.
· Telemark Service & Maintenance works directly with an estate caretaker or staff or directly with the homeowner to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, durability and safety of each home. Whether the owner lives in the home year-round or only on a seasonal basis, Telemark is able to provide 24/7 services allowing for additional inspections of the home in the event of inclement weather.
· Telemark House Watch is a service whereby Telemark is able to inspect a house on a regular basis to detect minor issues before they become major, costly problems. Weekly inspections ensure that one’s house is operating as efficiently as possible.
· Telemark Annual Assessment is a service in which each year the Company’s BPI-certified professionals test and provide a report on the performance of all of the property’s energy areas annually thereby providing a yearly-comparison that can show maintenance items that may be considered capital improvements to the properties. In addition, this annual assessment enables the performance of all the property’s sub-contractors to be reviewed so that the owner can be assured of competitive prices and outstanding workmanship.
Hamptons Luxury Homes and its subsidiaries are national leaders in the construction industry by becoming carbon neutral two consecutive years with a commitment to continue doing so in the future. As a result of this and awards received for green building projects, including the HGA House on Long island, the company is at the forefront of green building in the New York area. The company demonstrated this commitment to sustainable building more than three years ago when it was one of the founding members of the Hamptons Green Alliance (www.hamptonsgreenalliance.org) a consortium of contractors and tradesmen in the Hamptons committed to “green” building practices.

Great Article on the Pandas Thanks for mentioning Pandas International and our word with the Giant Pandas. Pandas did not reach this point by their “own accord” but by the actions of humans destroying their habitat.
Thanks again for your article.
Thank you Suzanne – we certainly hope that the Giant Panda continues to get help from your organization! Best, Stephanie

Hi Peachygreen,
Food sampling has been remastered with the help of Peggy Cross, creator and designer of the EcoTaster Mini by EcoTensil – an eco-friendly, compostable tasting spoon made from smooth paperboard.
By using less material than other disposable spoons, the EcoTaster weighs less, and takes up only a fifth of the space that other plastic and bio-plastic utensils do. This makes for easy transport and storage. Plus, the EcoTasters stack up neatly for self-dispensing!
A simple pinch turns this utensil into a fun-folding taste tester – ideal for in-store events, catering and product sampling.
And just because the EcoTaster is environmentally friendly, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work as well (or better) than regular spoons. With a larger tasting area, the EcoTaster leaves plenty of room for a more fulfilling, satisfying bite.
It only takes 2-5 weeks for the EcoTaster Mini to fully decompose in a home composting bin! Bio-plastic utensils, however, may take up to 6 months to fully decompose and need very specific conditions to break down. Many aren’t compostable in commercial composting facilities.
Both affordable and efficient, this product no longer makes cost and sustainability a trade-off.
Would you be interested in featuring EcoTasters on your blog?
Let me know if you’d like samples or more info!

Thanks!

Can i use your image?
The synchronized stretching photo with the foxes is photoshopped, you can tell if you compare all 3 sets of front paws. The heads are probably pasted in.
Family has 87 acres in San Bernardino. Researched last year about a Solar or wind project. After few weeks I gave up but if pointed in right direction…
Main factor is getting reasonable rate from local utility.
how about kids writing letters in usa to save our wild horses – wild horse annie did in 1971 and the wild horse act was passed
currently the bureau of land management under ken salazar is on a death march to round up all our wild horses, sterlize them and put them in holding pens, off the 26 million acres that was allocated to them in the prior wild horse act – blm then turns around and leases the land for oil drilling and cattle ranchers – these are your public lands – if you want to know what many horse people across america are trying to do save our wild horses – barely 10,000 left in the wild please go to http://www.thecloudfoundation.org -ginger kathrens is the ownder and has done 3 videos for pbs on cloud a wild stallion in montana that is going to be destined for rounding up again by the blm – help save our wild horses
Hi Stephanie, Roberta and Amy,
I found yesterday’s USA Today article, “’Solar-coaster’ hits as sun sets on federal subsidies” quite interesting and wondered what your opinion was… As energy historian Daniel Yergin said in the article, “Even with subsidies decreasing, I don’t expect the solar industry to wither as it did in the 1980s when it entered the “Valley of Death.” Today, this is really global business. … This is not game over.”
On the flip side, are you hearing any rumblings about companies that can safe harbor funds? I know that a new organization called Sol Haven Fund provides financing for solar PV projects for nonprofits and tax-exempt entities. With the 1603 Federal ITC Grant program expiring in 87 days, any qualifying project that has not been funded will have missed this opportunity. I understand Sol Haven offers nonprofits and tax-exempt entities a way to safe harbor solar PV projects so they can move forward even if the deadline passes, ensuring their projects become a reality, and that adequate time is available for proper planning and execution. Have you heard about this fund?
Cheers,
Phyllis
