1/11/07 - Chapter 65, The Return, of Time-Keepers is now available.
This is the final chapter.
Our society is becoming more aware of CO2's effect on global warming.
Unfortunately many of us have trouble realizing what we can do to help
reduce CO2 emissions and global warming. Green power is available to
most homes in the US, but very few of us are aware of how to get it and
how much it costs. I have compiled information from the EPA to create a
calculator that will tell you how much it will cost to switch to green
power. It will also give a link to your local green power provider so
you can sign up online. Finally, it will tell you how many pounds of
CO2 you will prevent from releasing into the atmosphere.
