New innovations and incentives in the field however offer promise for many solar companies looking to establish themselves. One company that seems to have had little difficulty establishing itself is SolarEdge, a solar power harvesting solution provider based in Israel.

"No Impact Man" chronicles the real-life adventures of Colin Beavan, his wife and daughter in Manhattan for a whole year... but with a small twist -- they strive to drastically reduce their carbon footprint and leave no impact on the environment while doing so.
Their family "turns off the electricity, stops making garbage, gives up TV, taxis and takeout; and becomes a walking, bicycling, composting, tree-hugging, polar bear saving, local food-eating citizens...."

You do everything you can to reduce your carbon footprint in your lifetime, but what about reducing that of your slobbering best friend, or purring kitten? While it might not seem like you can’t do much to change your pet's carbon footprint, there really is. Here is a simple things you can do.
One of the easiest, but often looked over tip is to invest in a higher-quality pet food that lists beef, lamb, chicken or fish as the first ingredient rather than a by-product. This one small change can make a major impact on your pet’s health, and will greatly reduce the amount of poop left to scoop (another eco-friendly result!)

The US Open is going green again! This is the second year the NRDC has worked with the US Tennis Association to make the US Open a sustainable event.
One of tennis' four Grand Slam events each year, the US Open site at Flushing Meadows, New York will be visited by 700,000 spectators over the course of the two week tournament. For an event of this size, their sustainable actions have a ripple effect and inspires vendors to change and sell sustainable products.
Their sustainable practices include mass amounts of recycling, energy efficiency, smarter and greener concession choices and much more. Learn more in the video spots featuring Venus Williams and Billie Jean King below.
