A colorful mural at the state agency in charge of protecting Indiana's environment depicts images of serene nature alongside productive industry. It is an ideal green vision.

Yet on Earth Day, celebrated today in Indianapolis and around the world, experts say Indiana is far from that ideal -- further than almost… Continue

Indiana becomes the fastest growing state in Wind Energy!

Welcome to the first ever Indiana Wind Energy Week! In the last eighteen months, we have begun to embrace our full wind potential. In 2007 we did not produce any electricity from wind resources. In 2008 the Horizon Benton County Wind Farm, Indiana’s first commercial-scale wind farm, produced more than 130 megawatts (MW's) of home-grown renewable electricity. And we are projected to produce 836 MWs of wind-generated power, from four separate Hoosier Wind Farms, in 2009!! This astonishing growth r… Continue

Thanks! I've worked very hard to create a useful Web site that shows people how to make art by reusing materials. This is especially important for those with little money, mostly teachers, but the process saves energy, natural resources, and landfill space, too.

Right now I'm working on organizing a recycled art show. With nearly two dozen participating artists, I think we have the beginnings of a group devoted to "upcycling or repurposing" materials, so I'll pass along info about this site. I'm glad to be a part of it.

I'm embarrassed that it's taken me this long. I've viewed the site often, but finally realized that I wasn't participating. I'm glad to be on board now. Now...let's see if I can think of something intelligent to say... ;)
