money trees for grown-ups: a look at sustainable energy

When I was young, I would imagine what it would be like to have a money tree in my backyard. Anytime I wanted a new toy, I would just pluck the dollar leaves off the branches, water the roots, and skip away without any worry of running out of my allowance. Soon more dollar leaves would grow and I would continue to be rich! Now that I’ve grown up, I’ve noticed that there are “money trees” all over the place. Okay, so not actual trees, but almost as good. Wind power and solar power act like money trees to our homes, businesses, and economy. We can use the sun and wind just like the leaves on the money tree. It’s renewable! Unlike gas (and money), we can’t run out of wind and sunlight. Because these renewable technologies are so new, there is one barrier that keeps people from buying them, they are expensive. However, even though the seeds for money tress are expensive, the money leaves pay you back forever. The same is true with the use of renewable energies. Sustainable energy sources provide a wonderful rate of return. When a business or home makes the initial purchase of a solar panel or wind turbine, they begin to save money. Both sunlight and wind are free! Electricity bills drop, gas bills drop, and the best part is that the environment is protected at the same time. If a business is still hesitant to make the initial purchase of these new technologies, there are organizations such as the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. They offer Green Tags through the EPA Green Tag Program. The purchase of these Green Tags allows you to support a sustainable energy of your choice. So, even if a company doesn’t have their very own wind turbine, they can still support the use of sustainable energies. This program is a great way to use wind and sun energy, while the technology that harvests them is still so new (and expensive). That’s why earthpure organics™ is committed to providing Green Tags on all of their products. Every product has carbon offsets through the support of wind power. Now that I work with a company that helps grow “money trees” I can focus my free time on finding a Pink Barbie Jeep.
