Save the Clean Energy Revolution with Music

Buying indie music will save the planet -



Hello=

Feist, Of Montreal, Bloc Party, The Appletrees, and some of the other
hottest indie bands out there right now LOVE us. And to show their love they
have teamed up with Green Owl records (an awesome new eco record label) to
put together a hot comp CD that will 100% benefit all the amazing work
Energy Action Coalition is doing for a clean and just energy revolution.

Be one of the FIRST people to have exclusive tracks from some great artists.
Go to Green Owl Records or Democracy in Action to
order your copy (or 3 or 5) of the CD today.

Buying the comp CD will not only help you pack your ipod with some great
exclusive tracks but it will also help you take on King Coal,
progress-blocking politicians, and get your school running on 100% wind and
solar. Not a bad deal.

The CDs are also available at Whole Foods and in local record stores around
the country, but why take your chances with it already being sold out? Order
your copy today online.
Go to Green Owl Records or Democracy in Action to
order your copy (or 3 or 5) of the CD today.

We also need help spreading the word about the CD. Tell your friends about
it, blog about it, brag about it, saturate Facebook with it. Let's make them
print MORE copies of this CD. Let's raise a ton of money to support the
youth climate movement. And let's dance.

To a clean energy revolution that's filled with music,
Aleli, Arthur, Brianna, Jessy, Kassie, Madeline, Ragini, Whit, and the rest
of the Energy Action Coalition team

And read the industry blurb here:

A two-disc CD/DVD featuring previously unreleased tracks from an eclectic
group of artists who've shared their music in order to support the good
works of the Energy Action Coalition. The EAC is made up of over 40
organizations from the US and Canada, founded and led by youth to help
support and strengthen the clean energy movement in North America. They're
currently working on the Campus Climate Challenge, which has committed over
450 college campuses to go climate neutral. They're also responsible for
Power Shift, the largest youth gathering and lobby day on climate change in
the history of the US. All profits from this release will support EAC's
efforts. Artists on this comp include The Appletrees, Feist, Muse, Of
Montreal, Pete Yorn, Bloc Party, Deerhoof, Satori, and many more.

solar panel maintenance

Solar panels.
Big. Quiet. Effiecient.
Oftentimes they're hidden from view and as long as that green light on the inverter is illuminated, you don't really pay them any mind.

...that is...until you get your electricity bill and its in the black. NOOO! Well, there is something you can do. Obviously take inventory of any usage changes in your electricity consumption. But if there is nothing to report, then its time to get the hose out and clean off those panels. Just a little soap and water (nothing abrasive and nothing scratchy to scrub those panels) is all you really need. Some areas (particularly neighborhoods in the desert or near new construction) might need biweekly cleanings. other areas may never need to clean their panels if they get regular rain.

Either way, just like your car or your teeth, your solar panels need to be cleaned. Those solar panels are pretty self-sufficient and don't need anybody for anything, but there is something you can do for them that they can't do for themselves. Just clean behind the ears every now and then. It'll do you and them a world of good.
