This is my opinion on why going green is not a bad idea

The world of big business is making daily headlines by "going green" after discovering that what's good for the planet is also proving good for business.
IBM recently announced "Project Big Green," a $1 billion initiative to reduce energy consumption by offering new lines of energy-efficient IT products.
Wal-Mart is adding solar power to more than 20 stores.

Music and Music Education are subjects that are dear to me, therefore I enjoy writing about them! Find here a collection of music articles, lesson plans, and units that I have written, plus links and other resources for music education. If you have a link, blog, or site you would like to contribute, you may do so in the areas below.

Teachers and students who visit the page may want to check out:
~ the music theory section for practice on learning how to read notes and rhythms,
~ information on how and where to find sheet music, both free and for purchase,
~ the instrument families of the orchestra,
~ famous classical composers & popular music artists,
~ links to other music education writers,
~ and lists of music education sites (this will be constantly growing)!

From the page: "Thousands of organizations and businesses are going the extra mile and spending the extra dollar to buy utility-scale energy from renewable resources. So much so that the United States E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency) compiles a quarterly list of the top green power companies from their Green Power Partnership program which came out in July 2008."

Green energy refers to the use of power that is not only more efficient than fossil fuel but that is friendly to the environment as well. Green energy is generally defined as energy sources that dont pollute and are renewable.

(Natural News) A newly formed energy group called the Tres Amigas Project has put forth a proposal to interconnect three regional areas of natural energy sources, covering wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal generated electrical energies. The project may cost 1 billion dollars and take five years to complete.
