GreenEnergy Model
What is Green Energy?
Green energy means energy produced from renewable or sustainable sources which do not cause impacts upon the environment. The cleanest energy sources are those which utilized the natural energy flows of the Earth. These are usually known as renewable energy sources, because they will never run out.
These renewable sources include wind farms, hydroelectric dams, landfill gas, biomass schemes (chicken litter, farm biogas, energy crops etc) along with small-scale solar, wind and hydro systems, etc. These sources do not produce carbon dioxide when they are used to generate electricity and will therefore help in reducing climate change.
Although many forms of green energy generation are being developed, we basically generate green energy for domestic use from several sources, solar, wind power, hydropower.
It's Easy Being
GREEN
GREEN AT HOME
Buy fewer bulbs: with compact florescent bulbs, which last longer and use less energy.
Cool down less dough: Replace air conditioner filters on a regular basis for more efficient cooling.
Lower your electric bill: Put all electrical devices on a power strip and turn off the strip when they're not in use.
GREEN AT WORK
Cut your paper usage and cost in half: Print and copy using both sides of the paper.
Reduce your garbage output: Buy products with less packaging.
No more styroform: Bring a coffee mug, utensils and water glass from home instead of using disposables.

THE BEST IN-TOWN COMMUTER CAR EVER MADE !
Riding a Xebra
Prepare yourself for a whole new driving experience. XEBRAS do not attempt to behave like
other vehicles. They are unique. They are quiet, yet agile. Imagine a world filled with silent XEBRAS instead of noisy internal combustion engines. Very safe with a driver-side air bag.
Innovation
The ZAP XEBRA is the offspring of more than three decades of thought and evolution. This vehicle was created as a breed by itself. Because the use and purpose of electric vehicles is different than gas cars, the wheel did indeed need to be reinvented.
No Tailpipe, just plug it in!
Even after counting emissions from electric generating plants XEBRAS produce 98% fewer pollutants than gas cars.
It’s Electric!
Laugh at high oil prices, in fact, forget about gas stations, oil spills, and fumes- forever! A XEBRA’s appetite is meager. And you can recharge it at any electrical outlet.
Electric truck zaps pollution
Akron owner says three-wheeler among first in Ohio
By Bob Downing
Beacon Journal staff writer
Catherine Park is dealing with lots of strange and quizzical looks when she drives around Akron.
That's because she's driving a three-wheeled, battery-powered pickup truck in an eye-popping Kiwi green.
The electric truck has two leather seats and is 10 feet long, 5 feet high and 41/2 feet wide. It weighs about 1,800 pounds, can hit speeds of 40 mph and can travel up to 30 miles between charges. It can carry 300 pounds.
''No gas! No pollution! No noise! And it's a cool vehicle,'' the 45-year-old Park said of her China-made Zero Air Pollution (ZAP) Xebra PK truck with a base price of $11,900.
''I could have had a convertible for my midlife crisis vehicle, but I decided to do this,'' she said with a laugh. ''It's a pretty cool little truck and it's totally different. It's perfect for my everyday needs.''
Park plugs her truck into an electric outlet in her garage and it's ready to roll in four hours. The cost is pennies a day.
The vehicle's power comes from seven 12-volt, lead-acid marine batteries under the bed on the pickup behind the cab. There is no tailpipe and no exhaust.
It is a strangely quiet vehicle. There's a click when the key is turned in the ignition, but no other sound.
The truck has a small hood over the single front wheel, the fuse box and the small motor for the single windshield wiper.
The vehicle's sides and tailgate fold down to create a flat bed for hauling.
It has three headlights, a sound system and heat, but no air conditioning. There are no air bags.
Park paid a little over the vehicle's base price to get one additional battery, larger tires (13 inches instead of the standard 12 inches) and an improved suspension system.
''I get in, turn the key and step on the pedal,'' she said. ''It's easy and nothing is complicated.''
Park plans to use the truck to do grocery shopping, run errands and get to and from Akron General Medical Center, where she is manager of clinical laboratory services. Read the rest of this article at;

-- Elkhart, Indiana -- Jon Faux said he squeezed over 50 miles of range out of his Xebra and loves the money he saves on gas. "The research I've conducted on my electric rates reveals that I'm getting the cost equivalent of about 600 miles to the gallon."
-- Olympia, Washington -- "I love my ZAP! I had a chance to show if off during a couple events and Show & Tell at a couple schools. I'd love to see more of these on the streets," says Dee Williams.
-- Long Island, New York -- "I love my Xebra Sedan and use it as my 'station car' to commute from my home to the train station for my train to the city every day. I used to drive a Ford Think and loved it until they recalled it. Ever since then I've been searching for a production electric and am so pleased I found the Xebra Sedan," said Barry R.
-- Salem, Oregon -- Les and his wife are teachers and bought a Xebra for their 16-year-old daughter. "She's in love with her car and we are happy knowing that she can safely drive around our city, but won't be speeding up and down the freeway," says Les. "However, the Xebra's speed and range limitations really aren't limiting at all. She can get to the mall, movie theater, after-school activities, and music lessons easily." Daughter: "My
favorite thing about my car is that I never have to ask my parents for gas money."
-- Dawson Springs, Kentucky -- Jim Seibert, owner of Tri-County Refrigeration said: "It's the cheapest thing I've ever seen. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean c'mon? I paid a little over $10,000 (that ain't much). I have put 1000 miles on it in a little over a month. It's perfect
