Bring in used writing instruments to be recycledSanford Brands, Office De-

pot and TerraCycle, Inc. are offering customers a unique recycling opportunity during Earth Month.

Beginning Sunday, April 17 and running through Satur-day, April 23, customers can bring used writing instru-ments, regardless of brand, to any Office Depot store nationwide. In exchange for ten pens, pencils or mark-ers, customers will receive a coupon toward a new San-ford product. The collected instruments will be sent to TerraCycle, the pioneering upcycling and recycling com-pany, to be turned into new office-supply products rang-ing from trashcans to desk organizers.

In 2010, Sanford became the first pen company in the world to fund the collection and repurposed of used writ-

ing instruments. Now, Office Depot is the first retailer to collect used writing instru-ments in-store.

Since it started last year, TerraCycle and Sanford’s collection program for pens, markers and other writing in-struments has kept 150,000 of them out of landfills while also helping raise funds for schools, charities, and non-profits nationwide. For every writing instrument collected, two cents is paid to a school, charity or non-profit orga-nization of the participant’s choice. To find out how to get involved in collecting non-recyclable waste, visit www.terracycle.net.

‘Building Green on Kiawah’Produced by Mount Pleasant resident Linda King of King

Media Associates, “Building Green on Kiawah” highlights the amazing transformation of an energy consuming outdat-ed Georgian Colonial on Kiawah Island into South Carolina’s largest LEED certified green home.

Through beautiful high definition videography, the story of this renovation is told through the eyes of the project team that made this happen. Among other key interviews, nationally renowned architect, Christopher Rose speaks of the transformational design features of the renovation. Builders Craig Gentilin and Ben Daley talk about the inher-ent challenges of bringing this design to life as well as the focus on “going green” by using environmentally sustainable materials.

After renovation, the viewer is taken on a stunning video tour through this house with specific focus on the green ele-ments in the home. Through interviews with home energy experts, viewers will understand why this renovation has achieved Silver LEED certification and they will learn how to incorporate green building practices into their own lives. The show gives the viewer important educational informa-tion on how smart building practices can make the differ-

ence in a more healthy, eco- friendly home with greatly im-proved energy efficiency. It also tells a compelling story of this remarkable achievement which has set a new course for building green in Kiawah.

Spring pruning promotes plant growth Pruning during spring

months can help promote growth and aid in keeping plants in good health.

The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET), the na-tion’s lawn, landscape, and interior plantscape associa-tion, offers these pruning tips to improve plant health:

Before beginning any gar-den project. Make sure that pruning shears and saws are

sharp and free of rust. The use of inadequate pruning shears could lead to plant damage.

When pruning, it is impor-tant to remember to make clean cuts on the plant’s branches and to avoid re-moving large amounts of healthy stem tissue. Im-proper cutting could lead to bark tearing and stem dam-age that could leave the plant

susceptible to disease.Removing branches that

are diseased or infected by pests will improve the health of the plant and help promote growth.

If these branches are not removed, it is possible for the infection to spread to other parts of the plant.

Some low hanging or dam-aged branches can cause in-juries and/or property dam-

age. Hiring a professional when

branches are hard to reach or when larger trees are in need of pruning is the best way to ensure personal safety when a lawn project becomes over-whelming.

For more information, or to find a green industry professional, log on to Land-careNetwork.org/findapro-fessional.

See if your tap water is in the clearIf you’re reaching for

bottled water thinking it’s cleaner or healthier than tap water, think again. A new 2011 bottled water study from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) encourages consumers to drink filtered tap water until there are stronger labeling standards for water bottlers. Clearly Water Solutions, Inc. is working to help residents assess the quality of their tap water and determine if water treatment is needed.

The labels on bottled water may show clear streams and glaciers, but they fail to pro-vide basic information about the source and purification of the water inside. More than half of 173 bottled water brands that EWG surveyed failed a transparency test: 18 percent of the products didn’t list the source, and 32 percent didn’t disclose any details on water treatment or purity.

Currently, bottled water companies aren’t required by the Food and Drug Admin-istration to disclose where their water comes from or how pure it is. In fact, the National Resources Defense Council says 25 percent of all bottled water—or more—ac-

tually is just tap water. “Since tap water quality

can vary and may contain traces of contaminants and bacteria, it’s important for consumers to take steps to ensure the quality of the wa-ter their family drinks,” says Jimmy Meetze with Clearly Water Solutions, Inc. “With the proper filtration system at home, you can be confident that your glass of tap water is free of virtually all contami-nants, including chromium-6 and other chemicals that have been in the news.”

When switching from bottled water to tap water, homeowners should first as-sess the quality of their water by getting a thorough water quality evaluation to see if a filtration system is needed. Many water treatment pro-fessionals, like Kinetico deal-er Clearly Water Solutions, Inc, offer in-home testing to Mount Pleasant residents for free.

Water filtration systems, such as those using reverse-osmosis technology, provide a proven barrier against harmful chemicals. To learn-ing more about the EWG study or water filtration solu-tions, please contact Jimmy Meetze at 866-239-7761.

to Maximize EfficiencyGuaranteed Performance

Monitoring energy consumption goes high techBY JEFF BECK TEAM ENERGY

Think about it - your car is more intelligent than your home.

It tells you when to check your engine, inflate your tires or put gas into your tank. Our homes are the complete opposite.

There is only one way a majority of homeowners can find out what’s happen-ing within their house - the monthly power bill.

Just as your car talks to you, there is now a system that allows your home to talk to you.

Energy dashboards are the newest wave of measuring energy consumption in your home or in your business.

These dashboards provide real-time, relevant data to homeowners in order to change energy behavior.

Here’s how it works. The dashboard is connect-

ed to major units like the water heaters and the HVAC system and smaller house-hold items like the refrigera-tor, washing machine, dryer and lighting fixtures.

The energy usage is then beamed via a wireless device to the dashboard.

Circuit level tracking eval-

uates the consumption of each individual appliance or fixture as well as the energy usage of each room and the entire home.

Home or business owners who have a dashboard can go online or can utilize a mo-bile device, like an iTouch or iPad, to get up-to-date information on their home’s energy consumption.

The system shows where a home or business is saving energy and where it is wast-ing energy.

Additionally, the system will provide recommenda-tions, alerts and notifications regarding energy usage.

The information can also be accessed from a remote location by simply logging in to the system’s website.

This energy management system is creating a culture of change.

The real time informa-tion allows home or busi-ness owners to constantly gauge and adjust their us-age for maximum savings. Moreover, monitoring the installed dashboard almost becomes a “game” for some homeowners.

They are consistently watching the various gauges and adjusting them for ulti-mate savings.

Some parents are measur-ing their children’s bedrooms and tying their allowance to the amount of energy each child saves.

Social networking can also play a role in this new way of saving energy.

Neighbors, friends, fami-lies and apartment residents can use Facebook and Twitter as a mean to compete against one another or to create a “cost saving community.”

The system starts at $499 and most homeowners will save approximately 15-20% per month on their power bill immediately.

The saying goes, “talk is cheap” - and by installing a home energy monitoring system, it can also be cost saving.

Installing a solar thermal system is a great way to in-corporate environmentally-friendly practices into your home or business. The sys-tem uses the sun’s energy to offset the amount of gas or electricity needed to heat one’s water. A “physical” process; solar thermal sys-tems are quite efficient; off-setting up to 80% of the gas/electricity associated with heating one’s hot water.

How it works:When the sun comes out,

water is slowly pumped through the roof-mounted collectors where it heats up to temperatures as high as 200 degrees Fahrenheit. That hot water then travels down to the hot water storage tank and through a copper coil where a heat exchange oc-curs; heating the 60 degree potable water that is entering the tank from the city water system. As the potable water in the tank heats up, water in the coil from the collec-tors cools down and is then pumped back up to the roof to continue the process until the hot water tank reaches its desired temperature (ap-prox. 110-120 degrees).

Solar thermal systems are applicable to any residence; with homeowners seeing the system pay for itself in around 5 years. But they make even more sense in commercial applications; particularly where hot water usage (and the cost associated with heat-ing it) is a large part of busi-ness operations. Hotels, res-

taurants, and even breweries are ideal candidates for solar thermal.

In September, 2010 Eco-Bilt Energy Systems installed a 12-collector, 480-gallon so-lar thermal system at West-brook Brewing Company in Mount Pleasant, SC. The brewing process is a water-intensive one; much of it be-ing done with very hot water. With the implementation of a solar thermal system, Westbrook Brewery is able to store “preheated” water in the four 120-gallon tanks before it is fed into the hot water liquor tanks used in brewing. This means that they have to use less energy to get the preheated water up to its required tempera-ture for brewing. By taking advantage of the free energy from the sun Westbrook is using less of (and spending less on) traditional energy from the power company.

EcoBilt has also installed a similar system at Porter Gaud School, reducing the amount of energy used to heat the hot water for their cafeteria.

Need Some Reasons to

Recycle?

•The average American household produces 100 pounds of trash every week.

•A ton of paper made from 100% wastepaper saves: 17

trees, 7,000 gallons of wa-ter and 4100 kw of energy (enough to power the aver-age home for six months).

•Making paper from recy-cled paper uses 30% to 55% less energy than making pa-per from trees.

•74 percent less air pollu-tion is produced from the manufacturing of recycled paper compared to paper from virgin wood pulp.

•We create enough garbage each day to fill the New Or-leans Superdome twice, and half of that waste is paper.

•When one ton of glass is recycled, water consumption is reduced by 50%, mining wastes by 79%, and air pol-lutants by 14%.

•It takes six weeks for an aluminum can to be recycled and placed back on your store shelf.

Going green: Choosing the “natural life”

BY SHARON HARVEYCHARLESTON NATURALLY

Living a natural life is more than just going green. The natural living concept goes beyond the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle), and involves making both small and large changes to many aspects of a lifestyle, including transpor-tation, food and products.

Living naturally is good for the environment. Whether it’s buying in bulk, or pur-chasing from a company that uses sustainable packaging, both eliminate waste and contribute to a cleaner envi-ronment. Many companies

are now using compostable and reusable packaging, buy-ing carbon-offsets to reduce consumption and even set-ting up giveback programs for the environment.

Natural products are healthier, too. Absent of chemicals, animal-testing and harmful dyes or addi-tives, they avoid harmful ef-fects. We’ve all heard “you are what you eat,” and this is true for more than just food products. For example, many products are eliminating the chemical BPA (often used in water bottles and toys) be-cause it has been linked to cancer, neurological issues

and other health complica-tions.

A natural lifestyle supports U.S. businesses and our economy. “Made in the USA” has more meaning than just quality standards. Buying from domestic businesses keeps Americans employed, the sales of its products goes back into our domestic econ-omy. Shipping domestically also generates less pollution than transnational transpor-tation.

Here are tips for shopping for natural products:

•Read the labels or packag-ing. There is not one uniform certification program for

natural and earth-friendly products, so look for the fol-lowing on labels or packag-ing: USDA organic seal or Certified Organic, BPA-free, no animal testing, no para-bens, no preservatives, 100 percent recyclable, and 1 percent for the planet.

•Research the company’s mission and values. Has the company pledged to improve the environment through a fundraising program? Do

they utilize solar energy in the manufacturing process? Are they practicing commu-nity or fair trade? These are just a few indicators of an eco-friendly company, and many practice numerous.

Companies like ours are committed to helping peo-ple “naturalize” their lives. If you are interested in learn-ing more, we recommend numerous websites with free, helpful tips and guides

for living a more natural life, including TreeHuger.com, TheDailyGreen.com and iV-illage.com/green.

Charleston Energy Solu-tions, LLC (CES) was invited to participate in a job fair at Trident Technical College in North Charleston. The com-pany interviewed and offered consulting positions to six graduating students from the Weatherization and BPI- Building Performance Insti-tute program.

Vice President of Market-ing & Sales, Tom Mitchell said, “the country is mov-ing steadily toward making all homes energy efficient. The Department of Energy’s weatherization program is focused on helping low to moderate income house-holds reduce their heat-ing and cooling cost, not to mention creating jobs for these highly trained young men and women. However, regardless of income, all ho-meowners need and want to pay less money each month to heat and cool their homes.”

Charleston Energy Solu-tions is developing a part-nership with the SCACDC, South Carolina Association of Community Development Corporations’ and their member base. The President and CEO of the SCACDC, Bernie Mazyck, during a one-on-one meeting with Tom Mitchell said, “The SCACDC has sponsored many stu-dents through the Trident program, and our evolving relationship with Charleston Energy Solutions, LLC is de-signed to help create jobs and put these qualified people to work.”

A few of the graduates that were interviewed are: Dar-rell McCord, Michael Perry, Travis L. Frasier, Benjamin Gibbs, and Raymond Jen-

kins. Bernie Mazyck, said, “We need to train people, and create jobs, and in the process weatherize as many homes in South Carolina as possible.”

Charleston Energy Solu-tions has a goal of conducting 100 to 120 free home energy inspections each month. The company follows the guide-lines of the Department of Energy’s Energy Savers Booklet.

All homeowners in Berke-ley, Charleston, Dorchester and Colleton Counties are eligible for the free Home Energy Inspection. Charles-

ton Energy Solutions is pro-viding an incentive for hom-eowners to take advantage of the free inspection. Schedule an appointment and have the inspection completed before April 30, and receive a free $25 gift certificate to a res-taurant of their choice.

Residents that would like to schedule Charleston En-ergy Solutions’ free 21-Point Home Energy Inspection, are encouraged to visit the company’s website, http://CharlestonEnergySolutions.com and fill in the appoint-ment form.

Cleaning can be hazardous to your health - and to the environment.

Many common household cleaners contain alcohol, ammonia, bleach, formal-dehyde and lye, substances that can cause nausea, vomiting, inflammation and burning of the eyes and throat.

Read labels carefully to make an informed environ-mental decision regarding your purchases. If you are concerned about the safety or environmental impacts of certain products, contact

the manufacturer for more information.

Do-It-Yourself Green Cleaners

Some of the greenest cleaners are the ones you make yourself. Here are some sample recipes for simple, effective cleaners:

•Drain Cleaner: Pour a half-cup of baking soda down the sink and add at least a cup of vinegar. Cover the drain and wait a few minutes, then rinse with a mixture of boiling water and salt.

•Window Cleaner: Mix two ounces of vinegar with a quart of water in a spray

bottle.•Silver Polish: Put a sheet

of aluminum foil into a plas-tic or glass bowl. Sprinkle the foil with salt and baking soda and fill the bowl with warm water. Soak your sil-ver in the bowl and tarnish migrates to the foil. Dry and buff.

•Brass Cleaner: Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle it with salt and rub the lemon on the metal. Buff with a cloth.

•Rust Remover: Use vin-egar to remove rust on nuts and bolts and other mineral deposits such as calcium deposits.

Flip Flop Replay

In an effort to further re-duce waste, TerraCycle, Inc. and Old Navy are partner-ing in a month-long drive to collect used flip flops and recycle them into four pub-lic playgrounds around the country. The community is encouraged to participate by stopping by any Old Na-vy store to deposit used flip flops in designated collection bins.

On April 22 (Earth Day) through May 21 all Old Navy stores across the U.S. will be collecting flip flops.

TerraCycle, Inc. is an inter-national upcycling company that takes difficult to recycle packaging and turns it into affordable, eco-friendly products. For information on TerraCycle, please visit www.terracycle.net.
