Going GreenBy: Michael Raletz
Green is the New Black! One of the most important topics of the
21st century A growing industry opening up new job
markets Saving the planet
Recycling Solar Energy
Hybrid/Electric Cars
Why should I go green? Save the O-zone
Reduce waste making the environment look nicer
Save money
The Big Picture
The result in taking part of one, if not all ways of going green, is saving the environment
Each little step goes a long way
The o-zone is being destroyed everyday, it’s our job to reduce that waste and save the environment.
Recycling Most common form of going green Used everyday by most , and one of the
easiest forms of saving the environment More and more recycling programs are
being set up world wide Each becoming more specific in proper
disposal (Paper/waste/plastic/etc…)
Recycling Facts For every1 ton of plastic that is recycled
we save the equivalent of 2 people’s energy use for 1 year and almost 2000 pounds of oil.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours, or the equivalent of half a gallon of gasoline.
If everyone read just their Sunday paper online for now on and there was no paper versions, 500,000 trees would be saved per week.
Hybrid/Electric Cars Popular way of doing your part while
saving money on rasing gas prices! New look on hybrid cars increases in
sales
Before After
Hybrid/Electric Cars By 2013, Every major car company will
have an electric car on the road Major cities and major corporations such
as Wal-Mart have started rolling out nationwide electric car charging stations
Solar EnergySolar energy is one of the most pure forms of going green.
No pollution comes from solar energy
Cost ? One of the main reason for lack of
switching to solar power is the initial money up front
In the last 4 years however, solar panels have reduced in price by 45%
Villari’s Solar Power Field Restaurant/Bar/
Outside Tiki Deck/Banquet Hall
1,275 panel solar field
Fully completed in late October 2011
Before Solar FieldRan on normal Grid Electricity
Cost $60,000 per year in electricity.
Since Solar Field Was Installed Started running at
slight power on July 15th
Fully Functional in Late October
$22,000 have been saved
161,766.18 pounds of CO2 gas has been avoided.
Boring electrical knowledge Each panel produces 235 watts of power
1,275 panels x 235 watts = 299,625 watts of power in entire field
Any excess solar power not used, can be sold back to the township
What happens on a rainy day? What happens if there is no sun out?
The Ginger Effect!
Restaurant also works off a gridlock which allows to pull energy from the grid when needed.
Rise in Jobs Opportunities
With all this new technology and developments
New jobs are being created in all of these areas for innovators and more to better improve the functionality of such hybrid and electric cars
Smart Growing Industry
In Conclusion…Some important ways to save our environment and go green is
Recycling
Switching to hybrid or electric cars
And making the switch to solar energy
