GoingTrueGreen's Blog Postings

Positive Truth

8/3/2026

If I wanted to garnish clicks, viewers, followers, then I should NOT post this Going True Green blog. The topic and examples in this GTG blog do not fit into the Media’s mold or formula to gain followers, make money and secure positions – aka, power.

Therefore, I am happy to state that I do not wish to create fear or a single-minded narrative only to get the above fifteen minutes of fame. I have always worked to get all the evidence and facts presented so we as a team can evaluate and produce the best results.

With that said, I am happy to share the following good news that is mostly not covered by the sensationalist in the media:

How does wildlife get to the other side of a highway alive? With the largest natural looking overpass covered with nature as completed in the state of Colorado.

In the country of Mexico, the use of dolphins and other marine mammals are captured to use in entertainment shows and to use for breeding additional marine life for future entertainment venues. Care and protections were at a minimum. However, currently new protections have been approved to ban the use of dolphins and other marine mammals in these shows and provide restrictions for captive breeding.

Guatemala just increased protections for jaguars, scarlet macaws, and other species in their major nature reserve.

For 32,000 years, frozen in the permafrost, a flowering plant was revived by scientists from the plant's 32,000 year old frozen seeds.

Recovery has been seen for the North Arial Sea. Salinity is dropping, water levels are rising, and several fish species have returned.

Would you believe in a plant-based plastic designed to dissolve in seawater without leaving microplastics? This has been developed by Japanese researchers!

The Ozone Layer has returned to near-normal levels according to NASA’s last evaluation.

We are making a difference.

Individual Independence Itelligence

The Triple Eye title:
Let us Review... Not the practice runs of 4th of July fly-overs or new solutions.
Let us ReVIEW the old evidence and proof on how "We the people" can make "the" difference toward America's Energy Independence! No, I am not going to again write about Hydrogen Fuel Cells running off Free rain water and Free sunlight to make Free electricity on demand. For that, use the SEARCH Box above by typing in Hydrogen Fuel Cells and read all my previous GTG blog posts on the topic.

Let us go back to what I taught since the 1980s and after reviewing the charts below, calculated those numbers into today's savings!

Enlarge the Compare and Save chart below. Review the few examples shown of a house that realizes an electric bill savings of $ 762.28 in one year after implementing recommended actions for just Lighting and an extra refrigerator / freezer.

PAYBACK for this investment that obtained the savings of $ 762.28 was in a fast 5 months and 3 weeks! The total yearly energy savings was well over $1,400.00 when additional energy saving actions that we recommended were taken. Payback for the entire investment that obtained these savings was less than 2 years!

Additional energy saving actions were in the following areas:
Heating,
Cooling,
Additional Appliances,
Insulation,
Domestic Hot Water.

Nevertheless, review the charts below and realize the saving with just "lights" in one house and then drop the numbers into your conversion App for today''s dollars saved.

Then DOULBE that number for the difference in today's Kilowatt Rate compared to the mid 1980s!

Then add another 20% savings to the total, since LED Light bulbs cost less than the old Fluorescent energy saving bulbs by at least 5% and because LEDs are more efficient they will use at least 15% less electricity compared to the older Fluorescent lightbulbs.

Powerful savings... Done by each individual.

We have the technology.
AMERICA CAN BE ENERGY INDEPENDENT!
By every individual who pays the electric bill for lights.

TIME: Fall Back or Spring Ahead? Do Both Without Changing Time or Clocks!

6/5/2026

Daylight savings time, standard time, clock back, spring forward, fall back, going true green, time solution

The United States Congress is reviewing the possibility to ending the requirement for all of us to change our “time telling” twice a year by keeping Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time.
We have all read about the pros and cons to each time setting method, therefore in the spirit of Going True Green blogs, I am presenting a solution. We will do both without changing time! We will change our schedules during the established time periods for “Free Time” schedule adjustments.
Evaluating all the benefits for the two ways with setting our clocks: circadian alignment, internal clocks, natural sun light, improved health, public safety, commuter safety, child safety, higher economic yield, mental health, and energy savings, we receive them all without changing time or our clocks! Here is how…

That earlier hour of darkness starting before 5 o’clock in the afternoon winter months and the later hour of light until 10:00 in the evening summer months offers no real benefits to the entire population. Especially for everyone on the eastern and western edges of the Time Zone.
Yet, all the benefits can be obtained under a “Free Time” schedule by operating within the following parameters when keeping Daylight Savings time or Standard Time. Instead of changing the clocks, each element of society is “free” to change their “hours of operation” to obtain all the benefits of Standard Time while we stay under Daylight Savings time. Additionally, today’s computers and cell phones make “free time” scheduling feasible.

School districts in the winter can start one hour later to have more daylight in the morning.
Employees, who are parents, will have the right to “Freely” change their work hours to match their children’s school districts hours of operation.
Municipalities would adjust shifts.
Companies can adjust hours of operation for better productivity, while allowing for individual exceptions.
Rush Hour will be less of a congested race.
Energy will be saved on both ends of the day.
Everyone will be telling the same time without the country changing clocks twice a year.

These parameters set the stage for issue solved. Now let us all get back to life and work.

Holding More Heat in Clothes Dryers

Non-Insulated Dryer Door

So the "Catch" on my Clothes Dryer door broke... I decided to repair or replace the Catch myself.

First thing to do: Remove the door off of the clothes dryer.
Second thing to do: Remove screws holding the two halves of the door together and take the halves apart.
Third thing to do: Do not start swearing!

...because the door is NOT insulated to help hold more heat in the dryer to help clothes dry faster.

I saw that the Catch was not repairable. The half inch long metal, acting as a spring, broke in half between the two plastic clips. So how much can it be to order about fifty cents of metal and about dollar or two of plastic clips... The manufacturer did not have the part, major websites the size of rivers, did not have the part. Finally, a small parts company website had the exact make and model... for only twenty-nine dollars!

Insulation I Added Between Door Halves

While waiting for the part to come by snail mail to save about ten dollars in shipping, I purchased a small amount of insulation. After replacing the Catch, I installed the insulation between the two door halves. Something that should have been done by the manufacturer in the first place. Something that all clothes dryer manufactures should be doing! Put in some insulated foam between the door halves so we all can save money, energy, and time drying clothes.

Also, get rid of the clothes dryer models with plastic windows! Am I going to do make popcorn and pull up a chair so I can watch my clothes tumble around and around until they dry? What is the definition to insanity? Someone should add plastic windows on clothes dryers.

Green Hydrogen

9/12/2025

0 Comments

For decades I have been speaking about Hydrogen Fuel Cells making the world's energy on demand. Today, a new term has become popular: Green Hydrogen

WHAT IS GREEN HYDROGEN?

The answer is the same as what I wrote about over the years, now it is just being said like this:
Green Hydrogen will be the alternative to batteries. Created with an emission-free process, such as one or two solar panels for Free sun light, some Free rain water, and a system that takes the electric energy from the solar panels to use electrolysis that splits the hydrogen from the oxygen molecules in that rain water.

Hydrogen made on demand, is the best application where batteries are not suited to transport heavy loads. Also with Hydrogen we have fast refueling times, greater distance traveled, and zero emissions!

Green Hydrogen will decarbonize the power grid and these applications should start within twenty-five years as cost limitations are removed with more research in water electrolyzer technology. Research and Development, along with innovations, will be key to this time frame. Many component manufacturers recognize these key trends for their products that contribute to the green hydrogen industry. IDTechEx’s report, “Materials for Green Hydrogen Production 2026-2036: Technologies, Players, Forecasts”, covers materials and components for supply chains and key players making electrolyzer systems.

What Food Are You Growing ?

6/25/2025

0 Comments

I teach Survival Training, and the first item to know is the "Rules of Three" so you can set priorities.

What do we need in 3 minutes, where if we didn't have any, we would die? If we are not underwater, and we have plenty of oxygen, then the first rule is secured.
What do we need in 3 hours, where if we didn't have any, we would die? If we have a roof over our heads for shelter and we can stay warm to prevent hyperthermia, then the second rule is secured.
What do we need in 3 days, where if we didn't have any, we would die? If we have clean drinkable water, then the third rule is secured.

The next rule will ask the question, What do we need in 3 weeks, where if we didn't have any, we would die? That is why I am asking what food are you growing this summer?

Being able to grow our own food in a garden, rooftop, of windowsills, offers all of us a powerful gift where we can grow some food for ourselves!

Crunchy Carrots just out of the Ground

Benefits and Reasons:
Save Money
No Pesticides
No Growth Hormones
No Chemicals or Fertilizers
No Genetically Modified Food
Cooking Fresh and Eating Healthier
Make Money Selling Surplus Crops
Self Satisfaction when Sharing with Others
Enjoying the Amazing Taste of Fresh Picked Food
Enjoying Time Together to Can or make Preserves
Abounding Compliments when Sharing with Others
Peace Within Ourselves when Giving to others at Church’s Food Kitchen
Less Trips to the Food Store, just Harvest Our Own Freshly Grown Food
Having Homemade Gifts for others at Christmas, such as Blueberry Preserves or Grape Jam

Even a business or corporations that have lawns or rooftop space, which cost them money to maintain, could be making money by having the space or land yield a crop such as organic corn. For most parts of America there are two crops of corn per year based on the weather. Every time I see a half acre or more of grass, and more grass, I see a waste compared to what God's Green Earth can yield for us in food. If everyone did what they could, we would have no need for Genetically Modified Food to feed the masses, because the masses will be feeding themselves. Thus we could delete hunger in our country, in our world.

The only other thing we all need to survive, is love and support. Everything else is a... Want.

We Are All Drinking Micro-Plastic!

Not Just Water Bottles! Got Milk?

Years ago we all became concerned when the media finally wrote about BPAs in plastic. Action to remove the chemical from Baby Bottles took precedent, plastic used by adults had a much slower implementation. Next came coverage about how plastic bottles are not being recycled as successfully as we all believed.

Now today, the media has finally caught up with microscopic plastic particles only because of a study recently done by Rutgers University. The study was published in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, (PNAS).

Researchers used a new technique incorporating lasers that are able to detect plastic particles down to the size of 100 nanometers. The study analyzed the plastic water bottles and screw caps of three popular brands. The results found that bottled water "can" contain a much higher number of microscopic plastics than previously thought. An amount ranging from 110,000 to 370,000 particles per liter and 90% was nanoplastic particles.

What Does This Mean?
Each time you open and unscrew the plastic cap of a water bottle, nano pieces of plastic are breaking off and going into the water. As we drink the water, we are consuming these nanoplastics!

What Is The Concern?
Another study just published in NATURE found alarmingly high levels of microplastics in the brains of individuals who had died with dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers also found that brain tissue samples from 2024 had significantly higher concentrations of microplastics compared to samples from 2016. The amounts of micro plastic particles found in the brains of dementia patients were 10 times higher than healthy individuals.

A Plastic Hand Grenade?

Not Just Water Bottles!
Back in December on 2017, 8 years ago, I wrote a GTG blog about this concern. We have a full onslaught of these nanoplastic particles getting into our bodies from just about everything. Does any family member or friend drink milk? Do they unscrew that center plastic cap and then pull the pin? That Hand Grenade plastic pin?

How many nanoplastic particles are going into our milk?!

What was wrong with the old way we opened our milk cartons?
STOP using the center plastic cap with the hand grenade plug!
STOP buying the clear plastic milk containers! Plastic cap is still an issue and the clear container allows LIGHT to break-down the vitamin D in the Milk.

Peel Back and Pour !

Solution:
Peel back the corners of the cardboard carton and pour the way we always did years ago!

STOP using plastic pill containers. Get small glass jars with metal screw-on covers.
STOP using plastic cups, get steel containers or glass with protective silicone wrap on the bottle.
STOP using plastic lunch boxes, get cloth insulated bags or compartment packs.

I think the above examples set the idea of what we have to do for ourselves, loved ones, friends, and strangers, because we do not know all of the longterm issues with nano plastics.

Malnutrition

Cornucopia

In the 1960s Batman and Robin were on American TVs solving crime, while real famous people were on TV Talk Shows predicting the world will not have enough food to feed the masses by the 1990s. A prediction that did not come true, thank God, because the earlier work of William Godwin and Marquis de Condorcet was correct, and Thomas Robert Malthus' theory, was incorrect.

However today, while less people die of starvation, our world has almost 9 million people die each year of malnutrition related diseases. Yet, we have enough food in this world to feed all 8.2 billion humans. The project called Zero Hunger by the year 2030 has some stating that the project will need additional time based on current statistics of progress. One estimate claims 100 more years are needed to accomplish that goal. I myself, do not have all the data to know what is true or not true with those estimates and/or predictions.

What has gone wrong, and why are we falling short of preventing anyone from going hungry. As I have written many times before in previous Going True Green blogs about the progress towards our answer for the world's energy needs, the answer to the question - What has gone wrong? - is the same: GREED.

Hydrogen fuel cells that work on demand to make world wide free energy from free rainwater, and free sunlight, will eliminate all monthly bills. Therefore, we do not see this solution, because there's no money to be made. All energy sources we have today are a transition to the hydrogen fuel cell answer. The same holds true for supplying food to those in need. The solution will be a transition until we're able to establish the neighborhoods in need to support themselves with growing crops and having a sufficient food supply.

So what's the solution for malnutrition in this world? We have enough food, we have the technology to produce more food, delicious food, or not so delicious. Healthy food or not so healthy food. Nevertheless, the solution has to be a transition toward the ability for many of us to be contributing in a small way or larger way to the food supply. As for myself, I do what I can with the little property I have. However, what I do, can also be done on the rooftop of an apartment building or in a vacant lot. Even growing something by windowsills will help.

As for the malnutrition problem our world suffers, we need to put greed aside and actions such as the following need to take place; but first let us look at what we have so that we may evaluate the complete picture for a solution.

Freeze dried food was a technology needed by NASA.
Restaurants around the world throw away leftover food that some calculate can feed everyone who is hungry, every day, several times over.
Companies today make computers and cell phones that can print out labels in multiple languages.
Areas of Asia and Africa, where malnutrition is at the worst levels, are at remote parts of the world.
We have entities, such as the United States post office, making deliveries with half filled trucks and planes to major distribution centers.
We have technology used by the military to AirDrop, just about anything, on a landing site the size of a helicopter’s landing pad.

Therefore, we need an organized initiative between all the countries of the world so that the following talents can be implemented:

NASA or a private corporation needs to develop a small, fast, and efficient piece of equipment that can be utilized by any restaurant to freeze dry unused food.

Well established restaurants will partake in a program that allows for weekly pick up of their freeze dried leftover food that is clearly labeled with specific data and in all languages spoken along all routes.

Cell phone and computer companies can produce a small and efficient system that can be maintained at any restaurant to print out labels with all significant data relating to the freeze dried food in multiple languages.

Here in the United States, the United States post office, or any private company will facilitate the weekly pick ups of the freeze dried food so that they can be processed through distribution centers for delivery to neighborhoods in need.

For remote area deliveries, distribution will go to appropriate military bases where they will contribute by combining training missions with freeze dried food airdrops for all remote areas.

The last action will combine students from around the world that are studying in the fields such as agriculture, land management, engineering, composting, water management, weather, energy, insect control, storage, environmental, distribution, etc. So that they can work as a team for neighborhoods ready to establish their own sustainable means to grow, produce, and supply food. This is most necessary because people do not want to eat freeze dried food forever.

"Golly-gee Batman, you think of everything!"
"Yes Robin, now the only thing left to do, is get greed out of the way."
