Green Is The New Healthy This Holiday Season

Green Is The New Helathy!




Receive the Gift of Light This Holiday Season


Now through December 31st, emerginC will gift a free LED light bulb with any purchase of $100 or more.

You may not find LED lights in too many homes – at least, not yet.  However, there are a few reasons why you may want to become an LED trendsetter.  LED lights are highly energy efficient, remarkably low-cost to operate, and unlike so much that is designed to be thrown away in our society, can last upwards of 20 years! By using just this one LED bulb in a single lamp, you can help the annual CO2 reduction by hundreds of pounds – and save on your next energy bill!

PoweRocks Mini Portable Charging Devices

by Green Blog Network

Portable electronic devices are lifesavers.  Who can live without their SmartPhone or cell phone these days? Apparently not 2.3 billion of Planet Earth's people.

In more tangible terms, more people have access to a portable phone today than to a toilet.
But when these little buddies - portable electronic devices - lose power, they're about as useful as dead wood. 
Now, however, you can throw your worry out the window. Because Powerocks has invented the genius PowerBank and Magic Cubes.

These design-friendly, compact, colorful little devices charge your iPhone, your tablet, your SmartPhone, your cell phone and many other portable electronic devices quickly and efficiently. The PowerBank is equipped with both male and female USB connectors and it also comes with a multiple connector cable good for most devices. And each comes with two output cables so you can recharge two devices simultaneously.

A charged PowerBank is good for about an hour and can go all the way up to 12000 milliamps. It takes only about an hour to charge your PowerBank either directly from an electrical outlet or your computer. The charged PowerBank can last up to a reported 3-6 months. You can find them in many colors - from purple to silver to leopard print - and three power flavors: 6000 mAh,.9000 mAh and 12000mAh. This last one stores enough juice to recharge your iPhone up to 6 times.

You can pick one up for anywhere between $29 to £109. In Canada these stores have them available, perfect for stocking stuffers : )
Canadian Tire, Bell, Rogers, Telus, Bestbuy.ca, Telephone Booth, CostCo's Wireless, Futureshop.ca

These rechargers are also much more eco-friendly than the standard battery as you can get as many as 500 charges, at least, from one device.

"The Attitude of Free Life"  i.e. never be in an emergency or miss a call when away from home.

Online you can find these cylindrical little lifesavers at Powerocksusa.com

Film Finds Environmental Friends Across The North and South Borders

Green Filming North And South: A Comparative Analysis

The following is a quick comparison of two popular areas to film with Hollywood productions who take their film dollars out of Hollywood.  Both areas, New Mexico and British Columbia, have green agendas and promote best practices when it comes to film production and responsible stewardship of the local environment.

New Mexico's Green Filmmaking Initiative is a voluntary program to encourage environmentally sensitive film & television production.
The New Mexico Film Office offers online materials to productions about the use of alternative materials and environmentally friendly practices in the production office and on-set. This would include information on: recycling; purchasing locally made and/or organic products; donating unused/unwanted items to local school, church
Reel Green B.C.
Already known as a ‘green’ industry sector, BC’s entertainment production community understands that a light footprint on our environment means a longer life for our valued resources and a longer welcome in BC communities.  The production industry also understands there is more that can be done to make its activities green and Reel Green BC captures a grassroots movement within the industry to do just that.

New Mexico

  • Instead of using endangered rainforest hardwood (meranti/lauan), buy renewable/sustainable building materials for set construction.
  • Use recycled, non-toxic and unbleached supplies (cleaning, building and office), soap, toilet paper, plates and tissue, cups, office paper, pencils, low-emission paints/chemicals, etc.
  • Avoid the use of Styrofoam and other non-biodegradable products. Select caterers that do the same.
  • Purchase recyclable products or products sold in recyclable packaging.
Reel Green B.C.

Reel Green BC encourages partnership with green initiatives already being implemented in the community and provides tools and information for companies and individuals wishing to become more environmentally responsible in carrying out the business of motion picture and entertainment production. Purchasing locally produced products (building materials, used merchandise, organic food from local farmers) not only contributes to the economy, it also reduces additional energy use associated with transportation.

New Mexico

  • Contract with a recycling service.
  • Recycle sets/donate all unused or unwanted items (food, props, office supplies) to local charities, schools, animal welfare organizations, etc.
Alternative Energies Transportation And Fuels
  • Lease Hybrid and/or Electric vehicles and purchase ultra low sulfur diesel for generators and vehicles.
  • Contract with companies who supply vehicles that run on alternative fuels (natural gas, ethanol, bio-diesel, hydrogen).
  • Contract with companies who provide natural gas or solar generators and refrigeration systems.
  • Encourage car-pooling/public transportation.
  • Practice eco-conscious habits such as not idling equipment and vehicles unnecessarily.
