Caught Looking! Strike Three!

5/16/2018

The WSJ printed an article on May 13, 2018 with the title:
Recycling, Once Embraced by Businesses and Environmentalists Now Under Siege

Wall Street Journal, The Wall Street Journal, Bob Tita, Recycle, single stream recycling, multi-layer recycling, going green, sustainability, Bill Lauto, Recycling, environment

Back on February 17, 2016 I posted on my Going True Green Blog: Is Recycling Striking Out? So just over two years later, we have a serious situation for township's recycling programs. A situation that was rapidly developing when I posted my blog and asked if America's Recycling programs would be caught "Looking" at Home plate for strike three. With the Wall Street Journal's article, I believe we just heard the umpire yell, "You're Out!"

America continued recycling the same easy and cheap way only to now find ourselves sending unwanted recyclable items to Landfills again. I strongly suggest for everyone to read my 2016 Going True Green blog post again, the Link is above in Green, and then look up the WSJ article by Bob Tita. As individual's we need to notify our Town's Recycling Departments that we need to go back to the multi-layer sorting system and that we are not allergic to work. We are all capable of spending a few extra minutes to sort our paper from plastic and glass from cardboard, before putting it to the curb. The bottom line is the fact that, "Three strikes you're out" does not just apply to America's past time called Baseball.

Solving The Individual

Solving The Individual
(What Earth Day Should Be About)

the thinker, earth day, going green, going true green, saving energy, sustainability, global warming, climate change, sustainable, composting, air, oil, gas, water

Accountability for each of us as an individual has become the casualty of the current Environmental Movement from both sides of the spectrum. When I was young, we were learning about doing something as an individual to help with the environmental movement. Today we have many names, Global Warming, Climate Change, and Sustainability. Unfortunately with the changing names, so did accountability change. We as individuals no longer accept blame, we no longer take the time to learn how to make a significant change to help our world. We blame the other side, we accuse the other to be the enemy or we expect a government to save the day with mandates. We as an individual have become faultless and we as individuals have become the problem.

When I was young I had a lasting impression made on me by a television commercial. I will never forget the tear coming down the face of the actor who represented Native Americans after viewing the ways people littered upon the water and land from his canoe. The elements were multi-leveled and yet the message was very simple: We as an individual can make the difference.

I know this to be true because my own actions over the past thirty years are slowly, but surely, directing me to Going True Green someday. I spent the time learning, presenting and implementing solutions. Everyday solutions for individuals that range from Basement to Attic, from Appliances to Water Use, from Composting to Recycling, from Photovoltaic Solar Cells to Geothermal, from foregoing what is in vogue to taking the right actions as individuals. The end result saves us all Money, Energy, Water, Air, our Health, and our world's environment. All while living happier and without any sacrifices.

When as an individual we make a difference in our own home, we can then take those solutions to our workplace and eventually set the examples for governments to follow. Sadly this is no longer taking place to any great extent. Some of us may focus on one objective such as installing solar panels or changing incandescent light bulbs to LEDs. While this is productive, one or two elements is not the complete topic. We may have challenged ourselves to accomplish one project so we may feel less guilty, but we fail to understand the complete picture. Today we have the two extreme sides guilty of the same fault. A well known business person may take steps to protect money being made by claiming there isn’t anything to worry about because Climate Change isn’t real. While on the other side we see well known individuals making money with various media presentations by claiming the sky is falling. Both sides are being irresponsible because they have one thing in common: Greed.

This leaves us without all the facts and we easily deviate from the truth. Either extreme only instills fear; and fear cripples all critical cognitive thinking, responsibility, progress and solutions. We as an individual will make the difference when we become accountable and learn all the solutions we can do for each topic element, instead of focusing on just one issue or one type of argument. Pope Francis described the results of these acts in one sentence, “The external deserts in the world are growing, because the internal deserts have become so vast.”

So this Earth Day, ask yourself what have YOU done to save MONEY by reducing consumption of: Electricity, Oil, Gas, Water, Air, Plastic, Fertilizers, Weed Killers, Paper, Trees and our world's environment? What have you done to understand all the elements involved with the furniture, appliances and clothes in your possession? What kind of soap do you use and how many chemicals are under your sink when vinegar or lemon juice accomplishes the same objective? How much Garbage do you put to the curb and how much do you really Recycle? Every aspect of our lives, every decision is yours and only yours. All this sustainable living is accomplished while being happier, healthier and without making any sacrifices. We are all one team as an individual, period.

Earth Day is a teaching moment and should be about solutions for us as individuals. Nevertheless, if we don’t solve ourselves first, then humankind will never solve anything.

Recycled Bad News Coverage Targets LEDs

2/17/2018

2 Comments

LEDs, Fake News, Recycle, Compact Fluorescent bulbs, energy saving bulbs,

12 LED Bulbs

Here we go again! Same old, one sided exaggerate theme to create fearful entertainment under the label of News. The subject is again energy saving light bulbs.

Many years ago the "so called news" was about Compact Fluorescent bulbs and how dangerous they can be to our lives. However we were only told one side of the facts. Today, this story line is being recycled and used to create fear toward LED lights.

Television news and science magazines ran story titles like: Are LED Bulbs Dangerous To Our Health?
Clever verbiage was used to mimic the newest movie version of Star Wars out in the theater:
Learn the Dark Side of LEDs.

Compact Fluorescent light bulbs have substances such as Mercury inside, but when you provide details and cite sources, the complete story is a teaching moment. The media needs to realize that these types of stories are an opportunity for teaching and if they can write or speak well, the news they present will not be boring. I believe an example of this complete news reporting can be viewed at my Blog post from April 2014 called, Evacuate The House!

So what is the story today with LED light bulbs? They do have microscopic amounts of elements such as lead, Arsenic and Nickel inside. If someone breaks dozens of Compact Fluorescent bulbs and started inhaling them, he/she could get sick. With LEDs one would need to break open hundreds and start inhaling to cause harm. So my answer for LEDs is the same from my Blog post in 2014 with Compact Fluorescent bulbs. If any LEDs break in your house, clean them up safely, with rubber gloves and a damp sponge. Then place the broken bulbs into a Zip-Lock plastic bag and bring that bag to Home Depot or Lowe's for free recycling.

Sadly most news stories don't tell all the facts. These media companies are really just entertainment companies in disguise with one goal, which is to make money. They have no interest in being Reporters presenting News with logical answers because that makes the story BORING! Unfortunately the real reason for the boredom is because they don't know how to make a teaching moment interesting.

Lecturing In Rome

2/5/2018

8 Comments

Athenaeum Pontificio Regina Apostolorum, Institute of Science and Faith. Rome, Italy.

I am humbled and honored to share information about being invited to speak at a week long lecture series in Rome on biotechnology and bioethical questions. I will be speaking on the issue of embracing the environmental questions and the approach of sustainability to graduate students at two amazing Seminaries.

The event is occurring at the Athenaeum Pontificio Regina Apostolorum, Institute of Science and Faith for the Masters Diploma program in Rome, Italy. My lecture will also be recorded and have a real time internet feed for distance learning, which the Masters Diploma students at Veritatis Splendor Institute in Bologna Italy will be using.

My lecture will address sustainability as a moral responsibility and how everything is interconnected. Multiple solutions will be presented for each of us to implement as an individuals and to maintain a better stewardship toward Earth, which is a gift from God.

Interconnecting elements has Humankind facing several environmental issues, not just Climate Change. Pope Francis' Encyclical Laudato si' has complete significances toward the matter of Climate Change because the entire situation is presented. Not just some fragments like those presented by individuals who wish to create controversy, make money or protect money. Please review my Blog post of Pope Francis' Encyclical letter on June 2015.

I will cite the essence of Pope Francis' letter that shows where fault can truly be found for all environmental issues. I will address what are the implications facing Humankind not just from Climate Change, but other Environmental concerns which in turn, may prove to be more damaging. We will see how both sides of the issue are bias to their approach on Climate Change and how we the people must obviate the fragmented information causing us to blame others. The real issue is not about what we have, but how we go about using our possessions. Pope Francis' stated this fact so well, "The external deserts in the world are growing, because the internal deserts have become so vast."

I hope to share any insights and collaborative discussions with you in future blogs. The way this connection, consideration of my work and event invitation came about, was through God and I am grateful.

For more information on the Lecture please visit my Speaking Engagements page. Thank you.

Light Bulbs Out In The Cold

1/25/2018

LED, LEDs, Compact Fluorescent bulbs, CFL, Cold Temperatures and LEDs, Energy Savings, Going Green, Saving Money

Underperforming Fluorescent Bulb

Many parts of the United States are experiencing some serious cold winter weather this season and I received a few emails asking about outside lights. Many Going True Green readers and members have compact fluorescent bulbs in outside fixtures. Depending on where we live, most compact fluorescent bulbs have not caused any issues until this season's long cold snap and a bomb cyclone winter storm that hit the Northeast. Below are some of the questions and my answers:

- How come my outdoor Compact Fluorescent Bulbs are so dim over my front door?
- Why are my fluorescent light bulbs outside only half as bright as normal?
- My energy saving fluorescent bulbs outside are hardly coming on since our 7 degree temperatures?
- Will LEDs do better in cold temperatures?
- Should I switch back to regular light bulbs for outside?

Most Compact Fluorescent bulbs have a lower lumen (light level) output below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Then light levels drop off "Big Time" below 20 something degrees Fahrenheit as shown in the image. Any temp lower than that, most of these bulbs don't even come on! They may just glow a little, but no significant light level is provided. Additionally, these lights will still cost us the full wattage of the bulb in electricity even though we are not receiving the proper light level. In other words, that outdoor 20 watt compact fluorescent bulb (able to give off a light level equal to 75 watts) is still costing 20 watts in electric power, but only giving off about 3 watts of light when outside temperatures are severely cold. Another negative factor is the bulb's life will be cut short as the components struggle repeatedly to work properly in temperatures dropping toward zero degrees.

Don't even think about switching back to regular incandescent bulbs for outside. They too will burn out faster because of the heat they produce vs the cold outside air. Did you know that with the energy used by a regular light bulb, 90% produces heat and only 10% omits light? Also switching will just run up your electric bill, because now you will have a 75 watt bulb in place of the 20 watt compact fluorescent.

As for LED light bulbs, they will get brighter in colder temps! Additionally you will be only using a 14 watt LED (current technology, LEDs are getting more efficient) to give off 75 watts of light. So to make the long dark winter nights a little brighter, start to change over to new LED bulbs. We will all save a little more on the electric bill, some energy for tomorrow, and have a brighter front doorway.

Airborne MicroPlastic

Slurry on Farmland?

A very important question came from a reader on my last blog of 2017 titled: Plastic, Water, Air and Food, posted on December 27 of that year. I have written several blogs over the years on plastic and how we are creating a plastic monster in our world. However, we now have data supporting the fact that we have created a serious issue.

The question posted from one of Going True Green’s reader was for more data on an unanswered question that I had posed in my blog post: By what means are these microplastic fibers getting into the air?

My reply was:

As of now scientists are speculating how plastic gets into the air. One possible source comes from Professor Kelly who I spoke about in my previous blog and believes that any microplastics caught in sewage treatment plants could be finding their way into the air. He also reportedly stated:

“When farmers spread slurry on fields, it dries out. You end up having microplastics lying on the surface of the field. There’s a real possibility that some of those microparticles will be entrained into the air and they will be carried around and we will end up breathing them.”

Professor Kelly said the study they were carrying out was a “horizon-scanning issue”. Horizon-scanning studies cover several global issues and is now concluding the eight year of work. I trust, more detail conclusions should be coming forthwith.

As for any questions on my Going True Green blog post, do not hesitate to reply on the Blog page or email me from the GTG’s website.

Plastic Water, Air and Food

Microplastic Fibers

New studies and reports are now quantifying what has been a growing concern for many years.
Allow me to first present statements that are being considered facts today by many scientists:

We are drinking Plastic Fibers
We are breathing Plastic Fibers
We are eating Plastic Fibers

I am not trying to yell the sky is falling, but we have created a monster. For those of us who don’t eat meat or fish, grow some food, and have counter top water distillers, a sense of brief relief may arise. However, this is an ever growing interconnecting issue, that is rapidly becoming serious for the world. Mainly because we do not know what the end results will be for humankind, animals, and nature!

How we are eating plastic:
Our clothes have more synthetic materials today than any other natural material. That evening dress we will wear this New Year’s Eve, the fleece coat we will use when shoveling snow and our exercise clothes for those workouts. Polyester equals plastic. An analysis was done by Tecnon OrbiChem on the data showing chemical use worldwide. Polyester is the world’s mandated fiber since 2007.

We then wash our clothes. Microplastic fibers that can’t be seen, are washed down the drain. A recent study found each washing machine cycle could release 700,000 fibers.

Also don't forget plastic microbeads in facial scrub products! These plastic fibers end up in our waterways, our oceans, because Water Treatment plants are unable to catch all of them. Dr. Alice Wemaere, EPA Research Manager said, “Consumers can help by checking the product labels for cosmetics and cleaners to see if they are certify microplastic free."

Next these plastic fibers absorb things while in the water. Things like: Oil from spilt motor oil, Pesticides from spraying weeds, Drugs from discarded medicine pills, Bacteria from Sewage and Wastewater Treatment plants, Chemicals from just about anything that went down the street’s sewer drain. To summarize in one word… Toxins.

Plastic Microfiber being ingested, Image by Dr. Kirby

Fish then eat these polluted plastic fibers and we eat the fish. Additionally, Plankton that support the entire marine food chain also eat plastic. The image shown is a still frame from a video done by Dr. Richard Kirby. The footage shows a 3mm long blue plastic microfiber being ingested by a planktonic arrow worm. This is our Food Chain and we may be hanging ourselves with that very chain.

We don’t recycle plastic well and an additional source of plastic for fish to eat also may come from, for example, 38 million pieces of plastic waste that washed up on the sands of an uninhabited South Pacific Island.

If Polyester is the mandated fiber, then the question is… Mandated by who?
Manufacturers, Profits, Consumers? We are all guilty.

How we are breathing plastic:
Studies done in 2015 by SETAC Europe (Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry) told researchers that microplastic was atmospheric and offering substance to the old adage: The sky is falling. A minimum estimated of three tons of plastic fibers were being deposited each year onto the city of Paris. The question now is: By what means are these microplastic fibers getting into the air?

Professor Frank Kelly led research done in London and reported to the 2016 UK Parliamentary Inquiry the following:
“If we breathe them [microplastic] in, they could potentially deliver chemicals to the lower parts of our lungs and maybe even across into our circulation.”

How we are drinking plastic:
Plastic fibers have been found in our tap water around the world and I don’t mean a small sample. Plastic particles are found in 83% of the samples taken. The United States of America leads the way with the highest contamination rate at a staggering 94%. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found plastic fibers in the drinking water of their Headquarters and buildings used by Congress.

India and Lebanon came in second and third with the next highest rates. The UK, Germany and France had a 72% contamination rate. An independent study done in the Republic of Ireland by Dr. Anne Marie Mahon at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology also found microplastic particles in well water and tap water.

“We don’t know what the [health] impact is and for that reason we should follow the precautionary principle and put enough effort into it now, immediately, so we can find out what the real risks are,” said Dr. Mahon.

Another statement made by Dr. Mahon causing consternation was, “If the fibers are there, it is possible that the nanoparticles are there too that we can’t measure. Once they are in the nanometre range they can really penetrate a cell and that means they can penetrate organs, and that would be worrying.”

Compound that statement with microplastics absorbing bacteria found in sewage, because some studies have shown harmful pathogens on microplastic downstream from wastewater treatment plants, now the world's population has a bigger problem.

Plastic with your Beer?

We now know of several sources on how microplastics can arrive into our water. Water is used to make everything, even Beer. Studies in Germany found plastic fibers in all of the 24 beer brands they tested. They also found plastic in honey and sugar.

Therefore if we are drinking plastic polluted water, then so are the animals. We then consume the chickens, cows, turkeys and pigs.

We are our own worst enemy.

We have no idea what the long term results will be for babies, children, and adults, when we consume years of microplastics with toxins. How our organs, muscle tissues, and overall health will be altered is still a quagmire.

I teach Outdoor Education part time at BOCES. I tell my students that everything is connected and there are consequences to all our actions. Our world’s ecosystems are being suffocated by plastic as these fibers become ubiquitous in the world. We are risking adverse consequences, but as I also tell my students, “There is always another way.” The last pull-over shirt I received as a gift, was 70% cotton. Much better than a few years ago, but still not the same as my 100% cotton shirts, T-shirts and jeans.

God’s green earth is becoming a plastic earth. I am sorry to say that I can’t find a Happy New Year in that possible indomitable issue.

Toilet Paper Progression

11/27/2017

toilet paper, TP, Cardboard, going green, colored toilet paper, environmental harm,

Cardboard Tube Free

Toilet paper, aka TP, is a product that is considered very useful to say the least. Yet, perhaps we can do better to save Money, Energy, and help our Environment.

Most rolls of toilet paper come with a cardboard tube in the center that creates a great deal of waste, especially because a small percentage of cardboard tubes are being recycled. Recent statistics present that each year in America we use enough cardboard tubes to fill the entire square footage of the Empire State building in New York.

We are paying more money per roll for that cardboard tube, while manufacturers are using more energy to produce and use them. Additionally, the negative impact on our environment each year is probably unmeasurable.

Thankfully another TP roll has been developed and we can all consider taking action to help move toward true green. As shown in the photograph, toilet paper rolls are available without a cardboard tube. The rolling curves of paper in the center function as the tube of cardboard. The only slight draw back I experienced is with one of our toilet paper dispensers. This dispenser has a wide mounting pin or dowel to hold the roll of toilet paper. These wider center mounting pins or dowels, are on various toilet paper dispensers. When restocking this dispenser with a new roll of toilet paper without the cardboard tube, I need to expand and widen the center curves of toilet paper at the center of the roll. This then facilitates an easier installation over the dispenser’s dowel.

Regarding the job positions producing these cardboard tubes, please realize no jobs should be lost with a little creativity. Young children in every American school should be learning about recycling cardboard. They also build, make, and create projects in classes between K to 5 grade and then in art classes. Cardboard and cardboard tubes are a key element with making turkeys for Thanksgiving to telescopes and from bridges to buildings. A simple shift in production to packages of different sized cardboard tubes and sheets, will make ordering and creating much easier for every grade school teacher.

Our hope at Going True Green is to see center cardboard tubes for toilet paper go the way of colored toilet paper. Matching colors in our bathrooms with the same color toilet paper reached tremendous popularity in the 1970s. However, toilet paper in various colors cost us more to buy compared to plain white toilet paper, production was wasting energy in the name of vanity and the dye in colored toilet paper was proven to be harmful to our environment. Finally in 2004, production of toilet paper with colors was stopped.

Unfortunately, some Novelty companies have started production again to meet the demands of certain "celebrities" and others. Red, Black, and Glow in the Dark toilet paper can be found online today with biodegradable and nontoxic claims to help entice the buyer.

Please distinguish between want and need. I certainly do not need to use Glow-in-the-Dark toilet paper that costs Ten Dollars a roll along with a cardboard tube in the center.

No Good FREE Energy Audits

The "WOW" Factor!

We all heard the old platitudes, "You get what you pay for" and "nothing is really free." Yet, these adages did not apply to the Free Energy Audits my department did when I was a manager at an electric utility company almost 30 years ago. Our energy saving audits were truly free, we didn't sell anything, and they were done to build a better customer relationship and public relations.

Today the utility companies hire outside companies to conduct these so called "free" energy audits. The objective is to point out the most profitable making energy saving steps. Profitable for the auditing company who wants you to sign an agreement to pay them to do all the work to save yourself (the homeowner) some energy and money.

However, the audits are far from complete and lack comprehension since the entire audit fails to cover every possibility in all areas of the house. These companies will "WOW" you by bringing in exhaust fans and set them up in your front door to create negative pressure inside the house. This is very impressive and is telling if the house has leaks and infiltration of outside air. Well, no fooling Sherlock, all houses have leaks. The KEY is to know how to evaluate the situation and find where all the infiltration is actually occurring so you can consider a specific fix!

These companies come in and to make money they have to get a signed contract from you to allow them to install more insulation, a new heating system, or a new central air conditioner. The contract will have you making payments for 15 to 20 years and your payback would be in 21 years. (I am not pulling numbers from thin air, these are numbers from friends who had these audits done and the numbers were atrocious while ignoring a multitude of actions that are more affordable with paybacks of only a couple of years or a few months.)

When I managed the Energy Saving department for the utility that I worked for, we recommended steps based on feasibility, payback, and we were not there looking to implement the recommendations! We left the "When, Who, and How," up to the homeowners.

GTG Sustainability Home Energy Audits

Today, my company under Going True Green does a complete Sustainability Energy Audit from Basement to Attic. We cover appliances in the kitchen and we will talk health from kitchen countertops to the water you drink. We talk data on how to lower water bills, lawn and garden bills, electric, gas, oil, and propane bills. We explain why new windows do not save enough on the energy bills to justify changing old windows, but we cite the real reasons why you may consider changing them.

We point out approximate payback times for each suggestion we make and we charge a fee. Yes, our Going True Green Sustainability Audits are not free. Let them be on site or done by Skype or FaceTime, our fee is based on the time it takes to conduct a complete audit. Your payback on our fee will be less than one year when you implement between one and three energy saving actions we recommended. And we leave the implementations up to you. Hire who you trust, negotiate your best price, and do the work when the time is feasible for you.

Now, if you have any questions or concerns when dealing with a contractor and you are hearing a different story from them that will cost you more money than originally anticipated, we are still available to help. Let it be to confirm facts or squash out a bunch of lies. We will give you the verbiage and questions to ask that will put any contractor's ability to "spin the truth" into a tailspin.

I will never tell friends to have one of these Free energy audits again, they are not like the energy audits I conducted back at the start and if you had one done already, don't hesitate to contact us with questions before signing any contract. We will be happy to help with free info and my free blogs! However, we will need to charge if you hire us to conduct one of our sustainability house audits, because we cover every detail and we are very proud of our work, which does in fact have great value. Thank you.

My Last BBQ Grill!

7/30/2017

propane, propane gas, gas grills, propane gas grills, BBQ, cooking outdoors, grilling and costs, saving money BBQ, going true green, going green, sustainable living

I stretched the use of my gas BBQ Grill out for the longest run ever... 5 years. Depending on the brand, I usually get 3 or 4 years use from my propane tank gas grills. I don't know about any of you, but I say that sucks. Two of my four burners are now done and the replacement cost is more than half the cost of a new basic grill. AND there is the trap! I fell for this 2 times, but no more.

I am done with buying crap that doesn't last, I am making my on grill with fire bricks and parts from my old grill. My grandparents built their own grills and pizza ovens!
So will I and here is why:

New grill: $200.00 (3 to 5 year life)
Tank fill up: $20.00 (two fill ups per year, $40.00)
Generic Cover to save money: $29.00 (lasted 2.5 years)
Manufacturer's Cover to last longer: $47.00 (lasted less than 2 years)
Also note that a date is stamped on the collar of each gas tank for when it was made. With a 20 pound propane tank you have 12 years before the tank needs to be re-certified. Then you must re-certify every 5 years. The cost of a new certified tank almost always costs less than re-certification.

VS

Costs for material to build BBQ: $200.00 (my labor, will last 50 years)
Apple Wood Pellets: $29.00 for 40 pounds. (1.5 bags per year)
I will not use coal, too many carcinogens.
Box of Stick Matches: $3.96 for 300 (will last years)

I think in the long run, this will not only save money, but be much more sustainable while helping our environment. Now, I am done with this BBQ blog.
