Happy Friday everybody! Quick lunch for my lil' vegan boy today, thought i'd share! A handful of blueberries, some organic Oatios by New Morning and little organic Sunbutter sunflower seed spread sandwiches. Sunbutter is great...Vegan, nut free and gluten free and Luca loves it! Miimics peanut butter and tastes great! Even better, no added salt or sugar! So, that's our quick lunch on the run today...After we are done I am taking Luca to Good Earth Market in Clarksville, DE to walk through their beautiful gardens and pick up some more yummy blueberries!! That's right...I'm a breastfeeding mama! Luca, who is now almost 11 months old, has literally been breastfed from the moment he was born. He was breastfed exclusively until 6 months, then introduced to solid foods in addition to on demand breastfeeding. He still nurses on demand and off and on while he is sleeping. I hope to nurse Luca as long as he would like to nurse and if all goes well practice extended nursing. "Extended breastfeeding is a term used when you are breastfeeding a child that is more than a year old. In other countries, feeding a child beyond the first 12 months is common. For example, the number of women who breastfeed their children beyond 12 months is: 99% in Nepal, 98% in Malawi, 97% in Zambia, 96% in Ghana, etc... The World Health Organization issued the following statement: " Breastfeeding is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the healthy growth and development of infants; it is also an integral part of the reproductive process with important implications for the health of mothers. A recent review of evidence has shown that, on a population basis, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is the optimal way of feeding infants. Thereafter infants should receive complementary foods with continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond." Kudos World Health Organization, kudos!!!! Vice President Biden gives a press conference at his alma mater, University of Delaware, regarding his initiatives for a green economy. Most businesses in the Delaware Valley don’t recycle and do spend as much as 40% more than necessary to get rid of trash.

Order yours today and get FREE SHIPPING! We all know solar panels make sense for many American households (and for some - wind power as well). The hurdle most of us have been facing is the high cost of installation coupled with the feeling that the previous cap on federal tax credits, just wasn't enough to motivate us into taking action. New legislation gives upgraded and extended tax credits (removing the previous $2,000 cap) for residential wind and solar systems installed between 2009 and 2016. The good news: Starting in 2009 the federal tax credit for residental PV solar and wind systems will be increased to a true 30% (of installation cost), which will be applied to the bottom line of your taxes. Let's take a look at how much better the new incentives will be. As an example, let's say you are looking at installing a PV solar system at your house and the installation cost is $38,000 (in the state of Delaware). $17,000 $7,600 $9,400 Small wind turbines will qualify for up to a $4,000 tax credit under the new system. With more affordable residential sized wind systems becoming available, don't be surprised if you see wind becoming more mainstream like solar. Credits for solar hot water do not change under the new plan. It will remain at 30% of the installed costs with a cap of $2,000. The cap is usually enough to cover about 30% of most projects. Visit DSIREusa.org for the most up to date, easy to navigate listing of all the federal, state and local incentives in your area. Not sure if solar or wind is right for you?

As many are aware, GreenTV did not accept advertising, sponsorship or endorse products during our first 10-years. We chose to focus instead on building a green social community based on trust and ethics.
During that time, we also built a 24/7 Green Research Center from the ground up exceeding green standards and using green products. This gave us a chance to validate the claims and function of true green products in a real world environment.
