Go Solar Energy For Life

Recently, the Earth Policy Institute published a ‘BY THE NUMBERS: Data Highlights from World on the Edge’ release, over this, and the next two blog posts…

…I’m going to share it with you.

I feel that is has very compelling data and ideas in it, and it’s important to me that I share this with you.

I have a new love: backyard organic gardening…

Since I’ve never done gardening before, I have everything to learn.

My first goal has been to learn how to make good, healthy, sustainable dirt, which lead me to BIOCHAR.

I first heard about Biochar in Ode Magazine (July 2010), in this article.  Then I found another article, of all places, in Solar Today (Jan 2011), in this article.

(It’s funny… in two completely different magazines to which I subscribe, I found articles about the same, unique subject!)

BIOCHAR may be an important step in Florida becoming energy and food independent.

My first lesson in gardening – good, healthy, sustainable food requires good, healthy, sustainable dirt.

If you’re thinking Solar Energy, or Renewable Energy, and you’re in Southwest Florida, be sure to visit our web site at www.FafcoSolar.com, or give us a call at (239) 574-1500.

Happy Gardening!
