Are you concerned about global warming? Does it concern you when you think about all the damage pollution can do to our environment? We can all play a part in keeping our environment green and healthy.

Recycling is one of the biggest projects we have taken upon ourselves in this country. In some cities, you can even get fined for throwing away your recyclables. It has become a habit to recycle, a way of life even. Most business’s even have recycle bins to keep plastic and aluminum separate from garbage.

But we must increase our efforts, and go beyond recycling. Check at green environment online go to learn some of the other steps you can take to stay green. We can do our part by using less water, turning the lights off when we leave a room, and keeping our heat down in the winter months, even if it means wearing a sweater to keep warm.

We can go one step further by keeping chemical use down to a bare minimum. Most foods and cooking equipment today are overloaded with chemicals. Our nation is so overrun with fast food, that we don’t even try to cut back on McDonald’s or Burger King. Sadly, we have gotten very spoiled with fast food. All we need is a little more information on the danger we are facing, and if we just read up on this danger at green environment online go, it could make a world of difference.

Replace all the light bulbs in your home with energy efficient bulbs. Today you can purchase light bulbs that give off a sufficient amount of light without wreaking havoc on the community and on your electric bill.

Even our furniture has chemicals in the stains and fabrics it’s made out of. Replace your wood bed frames with metal frames, which do not allow bugs or diseases to make a home in them. Replace your mattress that is loaded with chemicals with a good cotton filled mattress. Look for the go green environmental services logo before purchasing your mattress.

Our clothing is inundated with chemicals too. Our blankets and sheets, and even our pajamas are made from chemicals. So not only are we eating chemicals, but we’re breathing them in too. And on top of that, the laundry soap and shampoo we use everyday are full of chemicals. So we wash our clothes in chemicals, and lather up our hair with it. We can at least lower the chemical use by cutting back on our laundry soap and shampoo use, by using only half the amount you normally use, that would be of some help. Green environment online go can help you with useful information on all of these concerns, our planet is counting on you!

The energy demands of Glen Jacobsen´s turtle and tortoise farm in Bird Island, Minn., sent him looking for alternative ways to power the special ultraviolet heating and lighting necessary to raise his 30-some threatened and endangered reptiles.

“Since the western plains of Minnesota are notoriously windy, I got my wind speed readings and realized that I had a viable wind resource on my property,” said Jacobsen, who invested about $60,000 in erecting a 20-kilowatt wind turbine. It started producing power in August 2007, and in its first year churned out close to 30,000 kilowatts, offsetting 29.8 tons of carbon dioxide.

“With wind power, all of the costs are basically upfront — to put in foundation, erect it, to put in the wiring, with the exception of annual maintenance and ongoing insurance,” Jacobsen said. “Once that´s done, you just wait for the wind to blow.”

Harnessing the power of small wind energy systems is something that is gaining momentum among businesses looking to make investments in clean and renewable energy sources, said Ron Stimmel, small wind advocate at the American Wind Energy Association, in Washington, D.C.

SAN DIEGO, CA–(MARKET WIRE)–Apr 6, 2009 — Ethos Environmental, Inc. (OTC BB:ETEV.OB - News), a San Diego-based company, is pleased to announce that, through Ethos Scientific LLC, the Company’s research and development division, it has received positive Proof of Concept test results in reducing toxic tailpipe emissions when the company’s new and improved flagship product, EthosFR+, a liquid fuel catalyst, is added to fuel.

The new and improved blend was tested by the California Environmental Engineering Laboratory, Center for Environmental Research in Santa Ana, California in March. The CEE is Environmental Protection Agency recognized and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified.

The Company’s new formula contains compounds not present in the original blend. Ethos’ new Scientific Advisory Board recommended the addition of this proprietary ingredient to dramatically bolster the products’ performance in gas and diesel engines.

The tests were run on a Cummins QSM-11 400 HP heavy duty diesel engine in accordance with Federal Regulations. The successful tests were conducted on a heavy duty engine dynamometer. Two tests were completed; one initially without the EthosFR+ fuel catalyst to establish a baseline average for tailpipe emissions, horsepower and fuel economy. The second test included the addition of EthosFR+ in the engine. The results of this test were compared to the baseline.

Analysis of the tests indicated a significant reduction of measured tailpipe emissions for Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide, Nitrous Oxide, and Particulate Matter. A marked improvement in horsepower and fuel economy was also noted.

According to CEE Research Director Joe Jones, the results were “surprising” and Ethos FR+ outperformed other additives that the CEE has tested in the past. “The results using the Ethos product showed significant improvement in lowering the tailpipe emissions and improving fuel economy,” Jones said.

“The test results from an EPA recognized and CARB certified laboratory verifies with a high level of confidence the validity of EthosFR+ and its high probability for continual improvement in engines with constant use,” said Corey P. Schlossmann, Ethos Environmental, Inc.’s CEO. “As a result of the conclusive ‘Proof of Concept’ test, we are now beginning production of the new EthosFR+ for release into our expanding global distribution network.”
