Going Green
By: Michael RaletzSlide2
Green is the N
ew Black!
One of the most important topics of the 21
st
century
A growing industry opening up new job markets
Saving the planetSlide3
Recycling
Solar Energy
Hybrid/Electric CarsSlide4
Why should I go green?
Save the O-zone
Reduce waste making the environment look nicer
Save moneySlide5
The Big Picture
The result in taking part of one, if not all ways of going green, is saving the environment
Each little step goes a long way
The o-zone is being destroyed everyday, it’s our job to reduce that waste and save the environment.Slide6
Recycling
Most common form of going green
Used everyday by most , and one of the easiest forms of saving the environment
More and more recycling programs are being set up world wide
Each becoming more specific in proper disposal (Paper/waste/plastic/etc…)Slide7
Recycling Facts
For every1 ton of plastic that is recycled we save the equivalent of 2 people’s energy use for 1 year and almost 2000 pounds of oil.
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three
hours, or
the equivalent of half a gallon of gasoline
.
If everyone read just their Sunday paper online for now on and there was no paper versions, 500,000 trees would be saved per week.Slide8
Hybrid/Electric Cars
Popular way of doing your part while saving money on rasing gas prices!
New look on hybrid cars increases in sales
Before AfterSlide9
Hybrid/Electric Cars
By 2013, Every major car company will have an electric car on the road
Major cities and major corporations such as Wal-Mart have started rolling out nationwide electric car charging stationsSlide10
Solar Energy
Solar energy is one of the most pure forms of going green.
No pollution comes from solar energySlide11
Cost ?
One of the main reason for lack of switching to solar power is the initial money up front
In the last 4 years however, solar panels have reduced in price by 45%Slide12
Villari’s Solar Power Field
Restaurant/Bar/Outside Tiki Deck/Banquet Hall
1,275 panel solar field
Fully completed in late October 2011Slide13
Before Solar Field
Ran on normal Grid Electricity
Cost $60,000 per year in electricity.Slide14
Since Solar Field Was Installed
Started running at slight power on July 15
th
Fully Functional in Late October
$22,000 have been saved
161,766.18 pounds of CO
2 gas has been avoided.Slide15
Boring electrical knowledge
Each panel produces 235 watts of power
1,275 panels x 235 watts = 299,625 watts of power in entire field
Any excess solar power not used, can be sold back to the townshipSlide16
What happens on a rainy day?
What happens if there is no sun out?
The Ginger Effect!
Restaurant also works off a gridlock which allows to pull energy from the grid when needed.Slide17
Rise in Jobs Opportunities
With all this new technology and developments
New jobs are being created in all of these areas for innovators and more to better improve the functionality of such hybrid and electric cars
Smart Growing IndustrySlide18
In Conclusion…
Some important ways to save our environment and go green is
Recycling
Switching to hybrid or electric cars
And making the switch to solar energy
