How can ancient mythology help us go green?

OC Green Realty is forming an alliance with Icarus Green Energy Solutions, in my due diligence researching their company, I of course, went to the about us section of their website. Here is why they call the company Icarus:

The story of Icarus dates back to the times of Greek Mythology. Icarus was the son of master craftsman Daedalus the inventor of carpentry. Imprisoned on the island of Crete, Icarus and Daedalus needed to plan an escape. Using his skills for building, Daedalus constructed wings made of wax and feathers to be used to fly Icarus and himself off the island. The plan was a success except for one major detail: THE ENERGY FROM THE SUN! In flight after the escape, Icarus flew too close to the sun. The sun melted the wax of his wings and Icarus’ escape ended in tragedy.
What can we learn from an ancient Greek mythological story today? Daedalus could have gone GREEN and utilized the energy of the sun! The 20th century Icarus has gone green and like his father is a master craftsman rebuilding green communities across the world. Icarus’ mission is to spread the word of going green and advocating energy efficiency and energy independence.

This company can help you with an energy audit, an energy efficient mortgage and general tips on going green in your home. I am excited to find them, and to be working with them, as they encompass all the support services I need as an EcoBrokerTM and Green Real Estate Agent to serve my clients with an extra package of services and products they need. I am forming an affiliate program for my clients to receive comlimentary upgrades and services through Icarus.

We have alliances with an Interior Designer, A Feng Shui Master, and Green Architects. Check out our website on the resources link page: http://www.ocgreenrealty.com/default.asp_Q_f_E_links

It's that time of the year to think about tax credits

Well, the fourth quarter is upon us, and it's a good time to review the tax credits available to homeowners for 2009. Here's the link to the government's document of the tax credits http://www.energy.gov/media/HR_1424.pdf You may want to make particular purchases now, or put them off until Jan 2010 depending on how the tax credits fall.
Beware of searching for info on the web and clicking on a site which is cleaverly disquised as a government information site and is really just a sales site for a particular company. I find this especially true of review sites, for example you are trying to find a review on a new green cleaning product, and you search "reviews on green cleaning products" and you get a site called"
www.consumerreviewsoncleaningproducts dot com. However, this is merely a particular manufacturer who made up a web site reviewing cleaning products and coming to the concusion, of course, that their products are the best by far.
So, be sure your site ends in .gov and when you look at the web page, it really has government logos on it, and on the contact page an address and e-mail that is official.
