To say that the world has "gone" green may be a bit hyperbolic, but we're certainly well on our way. When politics, lobbyists and fossil-fueled capitalism jump in the way of environmental reform, miring efforts such as climate change legislation in thousands of pages of dubious language, it's easy for green enthusiasts to get disheartened. Anger may well up, with the feeling of moving backwards at a personal high.
Just remember that the future is heading down a green-bricked road, and there are statistics to prove it.
Take recycling:
Now on to energy production...
And in Green Building...
Simply witnessing the power and advancement of green practices in just one year is enough to awe anyone. And any skeptic says that such numbers represent only a passing fad should take note that renewable energy and green building techniques are merely readopting and upgrading practices that have been used by humans for millennia. Solar water heaters, thermal mass, wind power, passive solar design - these forces were harnessed long before machines and the invention of the photovoltaic panel in the 1950s.
This is no fad. It is a movement. And yes, these statistics will level off... as soon as we have our lean, clean, green energy economy.

SolarCraft installed a solar heating system for my pool. The pool is warm and more enjoyable.
Not only were they professional, and well organized, I was most impressed with their willingness to work around my schedule. For a variety of reasons, I was not able to have the home worked on everyday or at ideal hours, but Eric really came through for me and accommodated my time situation. The job was still done in the allotted time, and it was done perfectly. It was a pleasure working with Eric and Energy Plus. I recommend them highly. They earned it.
