Green Bites 19: Half Water Half Gas
Will Cut Your Fuel Costs by Up to 60%, Clean Up Emissions & Enhance Engine Power With Just A Tap Water
Try it absolutely risk free for 60 days. If it's not everything they promised send them a note and they will buy it back from you giving you a full refund. No questions asked.
I just wanted to explain to you really quick how the device that saved me $1,256 in fuel costs last year really works.
The big secret is that water (H20) can be turned into a very powerful fuel (HHO) through a process called electrolysis.
HHO gas is a very powerful fuel used on torches. It's also very safe and very clean. And you can use electricity from your battery to convert water to HHO gas and burn it as fuel.
You only need 4 ounces of water every 100 miles because each gallon of water turns to 1,833 gallons of gas.
So, even though you only use a quart gallon of water, you will actually burn over 450 gallons of gas. That why they call it "Half Water, Half Gas"
There is also a great refund policy of this product. If not completely satisfied return it within 60 days for a complete refund, including shipping.

Green Bites 19: Nikon 3000: Breathtaking digital SLR image quality and easy operation highlight the 10.2-megapixel D3000--Nikon's friendliest DSLR ever.
Compact and capable, the D3000 is compatible with a broad range of world-famous Nikkor lenses and includes the versatile 3x, 18-55mm Zoom-Nikkor with Silent-Wave Motor autofocusing and Nikon VR image stabilization to combat picture blur caused by camera shake for sharper handheld pictures.
If you haven't tossed out that film camera for a digital camera, now is the time to make the move.
I have been taking semi-professional shots for years with my Nikon digital camera and love it!
I get my images immediately, load them into my computer and edit away. If you purchase a camera with RAW capibilities you can turn a poorly lit scene into a price photograph with just a few click.
Also if you have a good quality film camera, you can most likely re-use those SLR lenses on your new digital model. Just check out the specs before you get your hopes up though.
Green Bites 19 Tip: Some 686 million rolls of film are still processes every year. The solutions used to make the prints are hazardous chemicals so lets cut down on usage of these chemicals and go digital.
Green Bits 19: Vornado Personal Fan: Unlike a typical fan, this stylish personal fan features Vornado-exclusive Vortex technology, which powerfully circulates the air.
Its deep-pitched blade, ducted airflow, and focusing AirTensity grill projects a beam of air up to 20 feet, creating the perfect whisper-quiet breeze and eliminating hot and cold spots. Choose from two speed settings--the unit flips to direct air where it's needed most.
If you work at home or in a small office turn that air-conditioning up a few notches and convence your fellow employees to use personal fans.
I don't know about you, but I live in the hot south, where it gets 100 plus degrees during the summer and to go from that heat into a building or home that is cooled to 70 degrees is really uncomfortable for me.
I much prefer to have the cooling set to 80 degrees and use a personal fan by my desk to work. It cools me down, I'm more productive and I don't dread going out at lunch or to run an errand nearly as much as I did before.
Since large offices use zoned cooling you would need to convence your fellow workers to do the same. Just get them to agree to a trial period and see how everyone loves the improvement and the savings in energy.
Green Bites 19 Fact:
Air Conditioning is the second highest use of electricity in the country at 15% of energy consumption.
What better place to start with green thinking than shopping for toys for our littlest ones?
There are some great choices out there now and they are very quality-built toys. If you purchase some of the all wooden toys, you will have an heirloom quality toy that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Some of the manufacturers not only express concern about how the toy is made and functions to protect the health of our kids, they exercise eco-friendly techinques in their factories as well, such as post industrial recycling, use of sustainable materials and renewable resources.
Some of the more popular manufactures that have a great selection are:
