Neuton Power Equipment of Vergennes Virginia is now offering two models of electric battery operated lawnmowers and a electric battery operated garden cart. These rechargeable machines help put an end to all of the above as far as the machine its self is concerned and if you link it to a solar charging system it becomes (post manufacturer) a 100% emission free machine, and is much quieter then its conventional predecessor.

Neuton has teamed up with the South Coast Air Quality Management District in Southern California to offer a Lawn Mower Exchange Program allowing people to sign up to exchange their working gas powered lawn mower for a new Neuton mower for $100.00 for the 14 inch or $160.00 for the 19 inch model, a tremendous savings. One would be hard pressed to find a good gas lawnmower for $100.00 much less one of these environmentally harmless electric ones. If you live in Orange, Los Angeles or San Bernardino, (except high desert) counties you can and should take advantage of this program if you have the means.

We are also working to create a series of anti "Clean Coal" PSA's to counter balance the pure propaganda that is being thrust on the American People by the Coal Industry specifically The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. Our ads will speak only the truth. We will start this campaign online and as funding becomes available we will move to TV and print advertising. Here is a rough draft along the lines of the finished product. Please keep in mind that this is not the final product.

We are in the process of working out a budget for this campaign and should have that ready within a week.

We are also seeking volunteers for fundraising events and people to help with promotions and we are also seeking writers for the website and weekly newsletters.

We know just how difficult things are right now but if there is anything you can do either financially or in any other way please let us know. info@agreenamerica.org

We need your help.

As the earths population rises, and it is rising, the question of feeding all those people has been pondered for a very long time. The answer has been to use more and more land for farms however that involves putting our forests at risk, water issues and continually using pesticides and fertilizers that are harmful to not only the environment but to people and animals as well. Then there is the problem of farm land continually being snatched up for urban expansion, and it is a problem.

We strip the forests, grow food for a while then build houses on the land. People would argue that there is plenty of land and will continue to make that argument until there isn't any left. It should painfully obvious to everyone at this point that the so called doom sayers are generally right and they say that yes, we will run out of land and food. There is also the question of conservation.

Introducing the high rise farm.

You build a tall building, 20 or 30 stories near or in large urban areas, in the cities. You use advanced hydroponics and grow vegetables and fruit and raise chickens and other farm animals. You utilize wind and solar energy generation, water recycling  and geo thermal systems for climate control. Methane from the animals can used as fuel and all the plant waist can be used to make bio fuel as well. These high rise farms can be almost completely stand alone without the need for any outside energy sources with the exception of less then 5% of the water that a conventional farm uses and much of that is recycled and can also be collected through rain water collection systems. Advanced hydroponics yield 15 times more crop per acre then a conventional farm and there is no need for heavy equipment, pesticides, fertilizers, runoff or long range OTR shipping since the building is in or near urban centers. Based on the carbon footprint of a conventional farm, these buildings have none in comparison. 

That frees up all that farm land to return to its natural way or it can be used to grow lets say switch grass for bio fuel. At least it solves the problem of food vs. energy or biodegradable materials grown.

Think of what these farms could do in places like Africa. Each 30 story building is projected to have the capacity to feed 50,000 people and feed them well. They can be built and operate virtually anywhere where there is sun and wind and access to a very small amount of water. With water desalination technology where it is today water is not an issue in this case.

Once again problem solved, just a matter of will to make it happen. There are several countries preparing to build full scale prototypes. I am looking into whether or not this country is preparing to do the same, if not we need to. We will be working on that. Want to help?
