ON THE COVEREducation key to conservationIt was that old philosopher,
Kermit the Frog, who said itbest: “It’s not easy being green.”
Many of us have tried to help theplanet by recycling, avoiding toxicproducts and fighting to keep airand water clean. Sometimes itseems as if the task is overwhelm-ing. Sometimes it’s hard to see howone person’s effort can make adifference.
This month’s Forever Youngtheme is the environment. Many ofus grew up with the environmentalmovement and remember the firstEarth Day, celebrated 42 years ago,in 1970. Today, Earth Day is cele-brated on April 22 each year andmillions of people around theworld try to make the planet abetter place.
In the 1960, Rachel Carson’s
book, “Silent Spring” alerted us tothe dangers of pesticides. The1960s had several environmentaldisasters, including an oil spill offthe coast of Santa Barbara, Califor-nia and images of the CuyahogaRiver on fire from chemical dump-ing.
They inspired Wisconsin Sen.Gaylord Nelson to plan a series ofteach-ins throughout the country.The goal was to mobilize citizens ofpolitical stripes to think about the

Builders’ convention thinks green
MERRITT ISLAND – When homebuilder David Barin of David BarinHomes returned recently from theInternational Builders’ Show inOrlando, he brought with him ideasfor incorporating green technologyinto virtually every aspect of thehome.
“By 2015, all new construction willbe built to net zero specifications,” hesaid. “That means that you don’t needpower from local utilities to run yourhome. Homes will be self-sufficient.Five years beyond that, all new con-struction will be producing moreenergy than it needs. By that time,maybe cars will be fueled from thehome.”
If that sounds like the stuff of sci-ence fiction, it is the future.
“Building products are getting
better and as we put them in, we aregoing to be better able to havesources of energy that can be used formore then the house. It’s using all therenewable angles: solar, wind andwater, and choosing ones that areplentiful in an area.”
Mr. Barin said that vendors andexhibitors are highlighting the envi-ronmental benefits of their products.
“In a display of roof tiles, theywere quick to point out how it wasmade from recycled plastic and rub-ber,” he said. “It also had a wind rat-ing to withstand high winds.”
Many of the products displayednot only had environmental benefits,but were made in an environmentallysensitive manner.
“You can do things to save energy,but if I’m shipping it halfway aroundthe world, it’s not green,” he said.“They’re trying to build products andbe more sensitive to the environment
and making building products local-ly as much as they can.”
One of the more intriguing prod-ucts was porous concrete.
“When water passed through it, ithelped clean the water,” he said. “Thecomposite looked like small pebblespacked together. You could use itinstead of poured concrete as a bor-der for a driveway or toward the bot-
tom, before itruns off. It begins to clean the waterbefore it drains into the earth.”
Mr. Barin noted that a number ofproducts were made from recycledmaterials.
“I liked a lot of the roofing,” hesaid. “It was made from recycled

Citizens say conservation makes cents
COCOA – In Florida, the environment and the economy gohand-in-hand. That is one of the messages Tony Sasso, newexecutive director of Keep Brevard Beautiful, wants to send.
“We’re engaged in this community,” he said. We want to make it a more beautiful place to live. It’s our eco-nomic contribution to the county.”
Mr. Sasso officially became director of Keep Brevard Beauti-ful on Jan. 1 and he said that he has a solid organization.
“Keep Brevard Beautiful is part of the Keep America Beauti-ful program,” he said. “We’re one of the stronger affiliates. It’s an awesome, belovedorganization with literally thousands of volunteers who pro-vide thousands of hours of litter clean-up, recycling education,and cleaning the beaches and roadways.”
Mr. Sasso hopes to build on the organization already inplace.
“It’s like an old car in the driveway,” he said. “You want totune it up and maybe later give it a paint job. I’d like to tweak afew things.”
One of his plans is to get young people more involved inkeeping their communities clean. That includes involvingthem in existing programs, creating new ones and using socialmedia such as Facebook to reach a younger crowd.
Mr. Sasso is extremely impressed with the Keep Brevard
Beautiful staff.There are only seven,” he said. “The rest are volunteers.
They get a lot of work done for only having seven staff mem-bers. They go into the school and work with children, teachingthem about recycling and working on projects. Pelly Can, theorganization’s mascot, makes appearances throughout thecounty, helping in this effort. His motto is, ‘If Pelly can, you canpick up litter.’
Volunteers have always been a big part of the Keep AmericaBeautiful affiliates.
“For every dollar we take in, we get $16 worth of work done inthe community because of the efficiency of our volunteers,”Mr. Sasso said. “I’m trying to make sure we are doing things themost efficiently.”
Education is a key component of the work the group doesand that doesn’t end with school children.
“When we help out cleaning the beaches or emptying thegarbage cans, there is an emphasis on education,” Mr. Sassosaid. “We tell some of our guests on the beach that this is ourfront yard and we want to keep it clean. Most folks just need agentle reminder. We’re not confrontational. There are gentleways to educate people and remind them that the roadwaysand beaches belong to all of us.”

MELBOURNE – When Dave Cheneytalks about sea turtles, his passioncomes through. While he has only beeninvolved with the Sea Turtle Preserva-tion Society for four years, he isinvolved in every facet of it, from edu-cation, to rescues to turtle walks.
“I read an article in the paper aboutemergency rescues,” he said. “That’show a lot of people start.”
He became involved with the SeaTurtle Emergency Rescue Program.“When hatchlings hatch, they go out20-25 miles to the Gulf Stream for thefirst year,” he said. “The storms in thefall bring the seaweed in to shore andthe turtles with it. We call them wash-backs.
“When we’re alerted, we go on thebeach to find and collect them. We takethem to a rehabilitation facility forthem to rest and then we take themback out, by boat. Once they’ve washedback, they don’t have the energy toswim back out.”
The group trains several hundredpeople a year to perform the rescues.
Sea turtle preservation is importantbecause all species are on the endan-gered list, with the exception of logger-heads. They are considered as threat-ened, but may be reclassified asendangered.
“A large part of it is caused bymankind,” Mr. Cheney said. “We’re thelargest predators. They used to be killed
just for their shells. They were used forbuttons, shoes and boots. Green turtleswere used for soup.”
Brevard County is a natural place tofind the rescue operation.
“Brevard County is the largest nestingarea in the country for loggerheads,”Mr. Cheney said. “It’s the second largestarea in the world.”
Sea turtles are important elements inthe delicate balance of the ecosystem.
“Leatherback turtles are the largest ofthe seas turtles,” Mr. Cheney said. They weigh 1,200 pounds. They surviveon jellyfish and can eat their weight injellyfish in a day. Green turtles eat seagrass and help control its growth. Log-gerheads eat shellfish. It’s a balance.”
The group does a good deal of educa-tional outreach, with booths at localfairs and environmental shows. Theyalso travel to schools.
“A lot of our members are families,”Mr. Cheney said. “I’ve trained hus-bands, wives and kids. We get a lot ofyoung people.”
One of the goals of the organizationis to promote sustainable seafood, orseafood that regenerates itself and isnot over-fished. That includes shrimp.At the Sea Turtles Preservation SocietyStore in Indialantic, you can even seedisplays of the types of sushi that aresustainable.
The nesting season for sea turtles isfrom May 1 to the end of November,and the society is active in keeping the

An old faker turns outto be the real dealIt is an undeniable fact that the
parents of the post-World War IIchildren demonstrated little concern
about littering or the environment. To be fair theirs was a generation of
little waste. Very few products werepackaged in a manner that wouldsignificantly add to the burden of thelandfills. A lot of food was put intoreusable glass jars and many were notpackaged at all.
I remember my own mother collect-ing jelly jars decorated with yellowflowers. Those jars would become thefamily drinking glasses. Mom alsobought flour and rice in pretty printmuslin sacks that she turned intopillowcases and such.
It is little wonder that when oursbecame an almost instant throwawaysociety our parents were poorlyequipped to deal with it. That burden
would settle on our own eagerly waitingshoulders. But what would prompt thebaby boomers to accept the responsi-bility for the care and cleanliness of ourplanet? I believe that can be traced tothe second annual Earth Day celebra-tion of April 22, 1971. That is the day theanti-littering commercial with thecrying Indian premiered on television.By 1971 TV was no longer the luxury ithad been in the 1950s and every homein America that wanted one could owna television set. I doubt that there is a

Going green a matter of design
COCOA – In the classic 1948 movie,“Mr. Blandings Builds his DreamHouse,” a New York ad man takes hisfamily to Connecticut to build thehouse of his dreams. One of the con-structions workers asks another why, ifthe man had to build on a hill, he chosethe windiest hill in the state.
The answer, of course, is that in the1940s, energy was cheap. No onethought about using the wind as anenergy source or about situating ahouse to make the best use of the sun.
Today, things are very different.When Cocoa architect Jack Rooddesigns a building that is environmen-tally friendly, he categorizes the choic-es as “active” and “passive.”
“Passive features are part of thedesign,” he said. “That includes the ori-entation of the building with regard tothe sun, wind and elevation. Somebuilding materials are more appropri-ate to a particular community andhave better insulation value.
“The design of the roof is a passivefeature. Anything that lowers the fuelbill and makes the building energy-
conserving is green because it protectsour resources.”
Active choices, the architect said,include solar energy to heat water andphotovoltaic cells and wind turbines togenerate electricity.
Mr. Rood primarily designs publicbuilding and there is great interest inbuilding environmentally sound struc-tures from a conservation and cost per-spective. Many local governmentswant to follow standards set by the U.S.Green Building Council. The LEEDdesignation, standing for Leadership inEnergy and Environmental Design, hasa lengthy and costly applicationprocess, but many entities adhere tothe standards as much as possiblewithout seeking the designation.
“It starts with the site,” Mr. Rood said.“It’s better to use existing site, ratherthan sprawling away. There are alsobenefits to using existing structures. Weadded windows on the south sidewhere the Children’s Library is and wealso saved a huge oak tree.”
LEED certification involves the out-side of the building as well as the interi-or.

If you’re 50-plus, you may remember yourmother’s system to reduce your family’s car-bon footprint.
She may have thought she was hangingthe wash out to dry on a plain ol’ clothesline,rather than employing “solar-powered alter-native energy solutions.” But some rope,some clothespins and some sunshine stillworked their magic – and there’s no questionMom’s “solar dryer” saved a little money.Those sun-dried bedsheets sure smelledgood when we turned in for the night, too.
Some of the principles that we used yearsago still apply today. Saving energy andkeeping the planet sustainable for our great-grandchildren are ideas that quite a fewFloridians 50-plus are interested in, especial-ly if they save money.
Here are a few ideas that national “green”experts – remember when they were called
conservationists? – suggest as a way to saveenergy, dollars and maybe Mother Earth:
• Shed some light. Florescent light-ing can be a way to save dollars and reduceenergy usage. By now, most of us havebecome familiar with the Compact Flores-cent Lamp. These bulbs can save moneyover the long run, though they are pricier tobuy on the front end. LED bulbs can be reallypricey, but they last and last.
• Get smart. For not much money,you can install “smart” programmable ther-mostats that help you manage your powerload, so you use less energy when you’re notat home. You may already have had a “smart”thermostat installed but you never gotaround to programming it. If you get stuck,call your utilities provider and ask for someadvice. (Or you can just assign the job to asixth-grader the next time a grandchildcomes to visit.)
• Watch out. You may have heardthat Florida Power & Light is planning to ask
state regulators to approve an increase in thecompany’s base rates. That rate increasecould increase your utilities costs. Sign up athttp://action.aarp.org/FL to join AARP Flori-da’s Utility Watchdog Team and get updatesregarding the FPL rate request, as well asother energy-saving information.
• Be cool. One energy-saving tip is touse heat-generating appliances in the cool-er part of the day. If you’ve got baking plans,remember that an oven can heat up thewhole kitchen. Start early in the morning.Your air conditioner won’t work so hard tocounteract the heat.
• Cruise on. With gas prices rising,take a fresh look at how you get from placeto place. Hybrid automobiles can be somuch pricier than gas-powered buggies thatyou could spend money on the car that yousave on gas. But emissions are lower. Even ifyou choose a more fuel-efficient gas engine,plan errands to combine several trips intoone, or share rides with friends and family.
Or take the bus.• Less is mow-er. Even landscaping
can be “green” – in the modern sense – if ituses less water and requires less mainte-nance.
Massachusett’s NewBridge on theCharles, a “green” community for older peo-ple, uses low-maintenance, low-water-uselandscaping. Of course, plants always needsome water, so NewBridge has cisterns thatcapture rainwater, which is then used forirrigation. Even if you don’t have a cistern, awater barrel can capture runoff from adownspout that can be used in the gardenor yard.
One side benefit of “green landscaping” isthat there’s usually less grass to cut. Withsummer heat and humidity coming to Flori-da sooner than we’d like, that’s worth doingfor its own sake.

Using vital records One of the main goals of the
genealogist is to prove theparentage of our ancestors.
We can do this with birth, church,marriage, death or Bible records. Youmust keep in mind that officialgovernment documents of theseevents are often modern records inthe U.S. Many states did not requiredocumentation until well into the1900s.
When researching our ancestors,we always work backward. We startat the person’s death and tracebackward through his life, whichhopefully will lead us to his parents.When we can’t find the parents, wecall this our “brick wall.”
The state death certificate can be agold mine of information. It will givethe exact date of death and thedeceased’s birth date, and sometimesthe place of birth. It usually asks forthe wife’s maiden name and hisparents’ names. It may give theinformant’s name and sometimes hisrelationship. If you are really lucky,all this information will not only befilled in, but will be correct! But don’tcount on it. Often, some data will bemissing, or wrong, simply becausethe informer didn’t know, or in histime of grief was confused.
Your next document is a marriagerecord. Often, there may be morethan one marriage. This is where thefun part comes in. Your great-grandfather had 16 children, and thecensus lists his wife with two or eventhree different names. What’s withthat?? Sometimes it is just one wifelisted differently every 10 years. Hername is Mary Ann. She may be listedas Mary, Ann or “Polly” (a nicknameof Mary). This is another quirk ingenealogy. You must learn all
the common nicknames, in orderto keep people straight.
Children tended to be born in afamily about every two years, startingone to two years after the marriage.So you will start looking for themarriage record about two yearsbefore the first child was born, or ifyou don’t know that, look at the timeperiod when the husband wasbetween 20 to 30 years old. Checkthe county he lived in and all thesurrounding counties. The bride may

Combating allergieswith herbs
At this time of the year, we arebeing bombarded by amenagerie of possible aller-
gens such as ragweed, grasses, treepollens or molds.
Basically if it blooms, it’s a possi-ble allergen. The result leaves uswith watery, itchy eyes, nasal con-gestion, a runny nose, postnasaldrip, facial pain, headaches andfatigue.
One thing that can be done todesensitize you to allergens isbefore the season begins, startusing local bee pollen or honey.They contain the pollens that youmay be allergic to. This slowlyimmunizes you to the local aller-gens. Honey can be taken by thetablespoonful three times per day.With bee pollen, start about six toeight weeks before the seasonbegins taking two to three granulesincreasing two to three granulesper day.
If your allergies are reallybothering you stay indoors onwindy days and use your air condi-tioner to filter out allergens. If youmust go outside wait until afterlunch; pollen counts tend to behigher from 5-10 a.m.
There are herbs with antihista-mine properties that can block anallergic response. Starting these as
early as possible can provide greatrelief. Some herbs with antihista-mine properties are nettles, rose-hips, green tea and pine tree bark.To thin out or dry up secretions ofthe sinuses or eyes and reduceinflammations herbs like eyebright,elder, goldenrod, turmeric, pepper-mint or thyme can help greatly.Since allergies can stress yourimmune system leaving you opento infections this is a good time tosupport both the immune systemand the adrenal glands with herbslike astragalus, ginseng, garlic,nettles, licorice, echinacea andshitake. And supporting the liver,lymphatic system and the colonhelp the body efficiently rid itself ofallergens and inflammations,Cleavers, red clover, burdock,dandelion, echinacea and sennaare some herbs that can help.
To combat allergies this yearinstead of reaching for the allergytablets why not try mixing one part

nesting areas safe. During that time, nolights are allowed on the beach, becauseany kind of light can disturb a nestingturtle.
“During June and July, we have specialwalks to see nesting turtles,” Mr. Cheneysaid. “We’re trained to do it without dis-turbing them. We take up to 20 people.Scouts go and find the turtles. We waituntil she’s nested and is ready to drop hereggs. You can see her drop the eggs, coverthem and go back into the water.”
The nest protects the eggs for the 55 to65 days it takes to hatch. A turtle will lay100 to 110 eggs at a time in what is calleda clutch. A turtle will typically lay threeclutches a season.
“We survey nests and check for thenumber of eggs laid, number hatchedand number that did not hatch,” Mr.Cheney said. “Information about nestingand dead and live sea turtles is fed intostate and federal databases to look forlong-term trends. We see if nesting has
increased or, if there were deaths, whatcaused it.”
The survival rate for the young turtle isnot high, with only 1 in 1,000 surviving.Turtles nest at the same beach fromwhich they hatched. Thirty years afterthey hatch, they return to nest.
“If we find an injured turtle and it’s 5 or10 years old, we want to rehabilitate it soit can nest,” Mr. Cheney said.
For more information about the SeaTurtle Preservation Society, call (321) 676-1701 or visit the website wwwseaturtle-spacecoast.org. Meetings are held on thesecond Thursday of the month at the Mel-bourne Beach Community Center. Newmembers and guests are welcome.

“They want to know if there are buslines or other forms of public trans-portation serving the site,” Mr. Roodsaid. “They discourage open, largeparking lots with no shade becausethey absorb heat in daytime and radi-ate it out at night. They also give pointsfor roofs that are reflective, rather thandark roofs that radiate heat and causemore use of air conditioners.”
Water conservation is anotherimportant consideration.
“It’s important how much water isbeing consumed,” Mr. Rood said.“They want low consumption plumb-ing fixtures and the catching of rainwa-ter.”

have lived a distance away, or thenearest county seat may have been inanother county. Marriage records,when found, can be anything from asimple line in a book to a full certifi-cate with parents and witnesseslisted. Each one will prove themarriage legal.
If there is a gap in the children’sages, it can mean two things. Thechild in the middle died, or themother die, and the husband remar-ried and resumed having children.Sometimes he needed a mother fast,and it is hard to tell which childrenbelonged to which mother. If yoususpect a new wife, start looking foranother marriage record. Actually, itdoesn’t hurt to look anyway, as I havefound unsuspected marriages, andsometimes the new wife has the samename as the old, as there were manycommon women’s names. Also, lookfor new marriages in the older people
after the children are gone and thespouse dies. They remarried in oldage also; we just aren’t expecting tofind it.
By now, you should have the familygroup you are working on, fairly well -documented. You know the names ofthe couple and at least their approxi-mate dates of birth, death andmarriage. You should have found andtraced them through each U.S.census, assuming they were raisingtheir family before 1930. Censusrecords will give you clues for muchvital data for each member of thefamily.
You now need a birth certificate orother proof of birth to find yourancestor’s parents. Knowing his birthdate or at least an approximate date,you may be lucky enough to have alocality that kept early records.Check records for your locality andpossible baptismal record in the localchurches.
A source most researchers don’ttake advantage of is the SocialSecurity Records. Social Security
started in 1935. Anyone with a job,after that, would have a SocialSecurity number. Search he SocialSecurity Death Index athttp://ssdi.rootsweb.com/. This willgive you the birth and death dates,and Social Security number. Nowyou can order their original applica-tion form. You will receive a form inyour ancestors’ handwriting, statinghis birth date and place and hisparents names, with their signature.
Chances are, you are not going tofind these records all nice and tidy,agreeing with each other and tiedwith a bow. You need a “preponder-ance of evidence.” This is the manypieces of the puzzle we have collectedalong the way that support eachother. If two pieces of evidencedisagree, then it is our job to findseveral more pieces that support onetheory over the other. This is the waywe prove our case beyond a shadowof a doubt.

products, but it looked like expensive slateor cedar shake-style roof. It’s recycled andit has the ability to withstand high winds,so it’s dual-purpose. I also liked carpetsmade from recycled material.”
External construction was also on dis-play.
“There was a big push for using interiorsteel framing versus wood,” Mr. Barin said.“It was all recycled and flame-retardant.The walls are solid poured concrete. Thenet result is a safer home with insulationbuild in.”
Water conservation is another areawhere improvements continue to bemade.
“There are ways to get to the correctwater temperature quicker, so you don’trun it while waiting,” he said. “Toilets havedifferent levels of flushing. There are toi-lets that you never even touch. They havesensors and you step on a floor light. Whenyou walk away, everything closes.”
The focus of electricity conservation hasmoved from the light bulb to the switches,Mr. Barin said.
“It’s easy for all the switches to bedownloaded inexpensively to a computeror phone so that you can operate themfrom any location. You can open the garagedoor and turn light on in the home or pro-gram the air conditioning to come onehour before you get home. It’s all mucheasier and less expensive than it was.”
Of course, many of these “latest andgreatest” items are expensive. Manybuilders don’t want to price their homesout of the market, especially in difficulttimes.
“We’re still sensitive about being cutting-edge,” Mr. Barin said. “It’s true that high-tech green products will cost more upfront, but it’s either better for the environ-ment, it will save money in the long run, orboth. We (builders) watch the car industryas a barometer of what consumers are will-ing to buy. Green is here to stay and thehome industry is on board.”

Earth and what we were doing to it. Millions of people ralliedto learn more and send a message that progress did not haveto mean pollution. Many environmental laws owe their startto that first Earth Day.
In the years since, the air and water have gotten cleanerand we understand the importance of protecting naturalhabitats and preserving species of all kinds. We are trying tosave energy, conserve water and save species as diverse assea turtles and eagles. Still, there is a lot to be done.
In this issue, you’ll meet people and organizations who aretrying to save their little piece of the planet. Most are volun-teers. They do not see their efforts as drops in the bucket, butrather as part of an effort by millions of people to improvethe quality of life one person at a time.
As always, we invite you to go online to our websitewww.myhometownnewsol.com and read editions of ForeverYoung from other counties. There are interesting organiza-tions and people throughout the Treasure and Space coasts.
Those of us of a certain age can take pride in the fact that itwas our generation, the Boomers, who took the first stepback in 1970. There is still much to be done. We hope this isissue will inspire you to get involved in this effort. HappyEarth Day!

person of our generation who does notremember that one-minute televisionspot. It began with a solitary NativeAmerican paddling his canoe throughwater polluted with floating debris. Inthe background we see the smokestacksof factories belching black plumestoward the heavens. The Indian beacheshis boat among the old tires, discardedshoes and paper bags that line theshore. He is a regal figure. Not a typicallyover dressed Hollywood Indian, hewears simple buckskins and moccasins.Only two braids adorn his head with nowar bonnet or any other decorations.He is the real deal.
He takes a few steps toward a high-way choked with automobiles. As hestands there surveying what hasbecome of his beloved land an occu-pant of a passing car throws out a bag ofgarbage that breaks open and skids to ahalt right at his feet. He stands there inthe midst of French fries and hamburg-er wrappers. The camera pans slowly tohis forlorn face where we see a singletear on his cheek. A voiceover says:People start pollution; people can stopit.
That ad stopped me dead in mytracks. I don’t think there has ever beena more powerful environmentalcommercial. At that moment a lightwent on over the collective heads ofyoung people around the world.
The ad was produced by a non-profitgroup called Keep America Beautiful.
Ironically it was sponsored by some ofthe country’s worst polluters. PhillipMorris, Anheuser Busch, Coke andPepsi were but a few of the giantcorporations behind the crying Indian.The Indian called Iron Eyes Cody wasactually no Indian at all. He was an actorfrom a small town just 10 miles from myown home in Southwest Louisiana. Hewas born Espera Corti of Sicilianimmigrant parents. Although that fact isa bit unsettling I don’t know how thedirector could have cast a better lookingexample of a Native American.
As a young man Corti had gone toHollywood and found work as a movieextra. He soon found that he wasconstantly being cast as an Indian.Since western movies were extremelypopular he embraced his role and theculture. He would marry a NativeAmerican woman and they wouldadopt two boys from the Sioux Nation.
Throughout his life, Iron Eyes Codywould work tirelessly to supportAmerican Indian causes. Before hisdeath in 1999 he would be honored bythem for his efforts. The Keep AmericaBeautiful group would continue to growand thrives today. By 2010, more than3.9 million volunteers were involved incleaning up illegal dumps, removinggraffiti, and planting trees and gardens.Thankfully the post-war children wouldsuccessfully initiate an awareness thatgrudgingly prodded our citizens intobeing proper stewards of the planet.There is little doubt that a TV ad featur-ing a fake Indian with a fake tear(glycerin water) had as much to do withthat as any other single event in history.

But it's not just those discarded trinkets that can benefitothers. When trash like food scraps and other refuse can be turnedinto a fuel that powers machines or reduces solid waste, it can be awin-win situation.
An innovation called Micro Auto Gasification System, or MAGS,is the world's first solid waste treatment appliance. The technolo-gy is being developed by the U.S. Navy in conjunction with Ter-ragon Environmental Technologies, Inc. and the CanadianDepartment of Defense for use in military applications and isolat-ed habitats.

Setting green goals for the futureWith such a global focus on the
deteriorating condition of theenvironment and how humanscontributing to its demise, manypeople are setting goals to partici-pate in a sustainable lifestyle thatincorporates a series of green goalsfor the upcoming year.
It's not just the oil spills or rain-forest depletion that's raisingconcerns for the environment. Eventhings like the roads we drive oncan prove harmful. For example,according to a Carrying CapacityNetwork conference held in Wash-ington, D.C., every year in theUnited States roughly 1.3 millionacres of unpaved land is paved over.And what's going on those roads?Cars. There are more than 250
million cars and trucks in theUnited States, and Canadians arenot far behind Americans. Accord-ing to the World Resources Insti-tute, Canada ranks as No. 8 out of178 nations in production of carbonemissions.
Although sometimes the environ-mental outlook can seem bleak,there are many small- and large-scale ways individuals can make adifference. For eco-consciouspeople who want to start making adifference, here's a list of ideas toget started.
• Raise chickens. There has been agreater interest among suburbanand urban residents in raisinglivestock. Chickens make sensebecause they are not large and canbe a home-based food source,producing eggs or meat if desired.
It's possible to get eggs from henswithout a rooster, and you may notneed a large amount of space tohouse your bird. They can be keptin a small coop or allowed to roamfree in a yard in a bird run. Checkwith your city or town to be sure it'slegal to raise chickens, then do yourresearch on the best breed andspace needed for where you live.
• Simplify beauty regimens. Inmany cases, there's no need topurchase costly beauty serums andwashes that may or may not con-tain harmful chemicals. As it turnsout, many things can be made athome from food sources. Dry skincan be treated with a blend ofavocado and honey. Cottage cheesecan calm redness. There are thosewho are even proponents of wash-ing your face with pure oil. Chances
are even if you don't resort to allhomemade beauty products youcan significantly cut down on thenumber of store-bought items youuse.
• Look for personal hygienealternatives. Most people alreadyknow about switching from dispos-able diapers to cloth alternatives(almost 30 billion disposablediapers are used and disposed of inthe United States each year). Butthere are other disposable itemsthat contribute to personal waste.Instead of traditional femalehygiene products, choose reusablecups or cloth items instead ofdisposable pads and tampons.Some advocate the use of bidet-type toilets to reduce dependency

The unit thenpowers a thermal process that "cooks"the waste in ahigh-temperature, low-oxygen environment, whichessentially kills all organic material in the waste. Theremaining material is a fuel gas dubbed "syngas."MAGS uses this fuel to run itself. Any residual wastein the unit like carbon is sequestered as a productcalled bio-char.

Terragon says that a MAGS unit can treat the wastegenerated by a community of up to 500 people in asingle day by reducing the volume by 95 percent.
A system of waste management such as this can bebeneficial in many applications. Ships that remain atsea for long durations of time, isolated communitieswithout waste-treatment options, resorts, hospitals,and other situations where waste cannot be trans-ferred to other facilities can use a MAGS unit to getgarbage under control. The company has also devel-oped strategies for liquid waste treatment that is
married with MAGS into one product. The goal in allof Terragon's innovations is to sequester carbon toreduce the release of greenhouse gases and otherpollutants that can critically harm the environment.
While the technology is still in its infancy, the ideaof harvesting energy from trash can have very practi-cal applications beyond isolated markets. Someinformation indicates that enough trash to fillgarbage trucks stretching from the Earth to themoon is generated every year in the United Statesalone. In America, 55 percent of waste is buried inlandfills and most garbage decomposes very slowly.Relying on this garbage as fuel solves the problem ofoverflowing landfills and the dependence on fossilfuels. Also, the technology protects the environmentin a number of other ways, especially by reducingground and water contamination. (Although pre-cautions are taken to protect surrounding ground-water, air and rain from landfill contamination, fewpeople can argue that landfills are the most efficientmethod of waste management.)
An offshoot of the green movement has been find-ing innovative ways to handle many of the problemsof waste management around the world. MAGS isstill being developed, but could prove an importantpart of the waste management industry in the yearsto come.

* Rethink clothing purchases. When shop-ping for new clothes, choose durable or evensustainable products, such as those madefrom hemp or organic cotton. Anotheralternative is to buy used clothing or partici-pate in clothing swaps. Consignment storesand thrift stores are other popular places tofind used clothing.
• Give experiences, not gifts. Does thatchild need another toy that will end upforgotten after a few days? Instead of giftsthat need to be bought and stored, considertickets to a show, lessons for dance or martialarts, trips to a zoo, or other life experiencesthat can be enjoyable and build memories.
There are many ways to be eco-friendlynow and in the years ahead. Think aboutyour lifestyle and figure out the small thingsyou can change that will make a big differ-ence down the road.

April 2012FOREVER YOUNG
Our homes are a great measuring stick of how farwe've progressed in the past 20 years, especiallywhen it comes to their efficiency in terms of savingus energy and money.
Here are the top three innovative technologiesthat can improve the efficiency of our homes:
Home Automation
• It wasn't that long ago that an automated homewas a focus of science fiction. Today, adding theconvenience and control of our indoor climate,lighting, electronic media and home security isincreasingly affordable and accessible throughhome PCs, smart phone and tablet applications.With home monitoring systems, you can track ener-gy and water usage in real time, spot key sources of
energy loss and make immediate adjustments.
Insulation
• If your home is more than 10 years old, there's agood chance it has fiberglass or cellulose insulationbehind its walls. While these were once the insula-tions of choice, there are many holes in these tech-nologies. Since they are difficult to install perfectlyand can sag or settle over time, they can leave gapsand seams. It's like leaving a window open 24 hoursa day in the freezing cold.
• Experts remind us that insulation advance-ments (like those from leading innovator Icynene)have brought us spray foam insulation options thatwon't settle, sag or leave any gaps. Spray foam actsas an air barrier and can deliver up to 50 percentenergy savings over older insulation options, whilemaking our homes healthier, quieter and more
comfortable. You can compare insulation options atwww.icynene.com.
Appliances and HVAC
• Appliances and heating/cooling systems areessential in American homes -- and not surprising-ly, they are constantly undergoing improvements.New energy-efficient refrigerators use less than halfthe energy of models that are 12 years old and use75 percent less energy than those produced in thelate 1970s (Source: National Resources DefenseCouncil).
• If you have a conventional natural-draft furnacemade before 1992, it might only operate between 55to 78 percent efficiency. Upgrading to a newinduced-draft condensing furnace can increaseefficiency to above 90 percent as a result of moreefficient heat exchangers and electronic ignition(Source: Mother Earth News).
