I want to take a moment to thank you for voting for this site in the recent JDR Annual Industry Blogger Awards. I’m happy to report that Jetson Green was nominated and won the Best Blogger: Green category. It’s an honor we wouldn’t receive without the support of hundreds of dedicated readers. In fact, a solid portion of what we cover is sourced from reader tips, emails, and suggestions, so this award is as much for the reader as it is for us.

I hope you’re enjoying Earth Day and taking it all in with an open mind. For many, it’s a time to get acquainted with the planet in a new way, and that’s a good thing. I’m going to use some of the reader-submitted photos that we received for Earth Day for full articles in the next month. In the mean time, if you have a green home or news tip, I’d like to invite you to share it with us.
OgilvyEarth, a sustainability consultancy, studied the mainstream consumer and posted some fascinating research. Specifically, 82% of Americans have good green intentions, while only 16% of Americans are firmly dedicated to fulfilling those green intentions — leaving 66% in the middle, the “Middle Green,” wanting to do more but not getting it done. This deficiency between intent and action — the Green Gap — is explained with some firm solutions in a 131-page reported called Mainstream Green.
The much-anticipated Honeywell Wind Turbine from WindTronics officially launches today, one day prior to Earth Day. This is a small wind turbine that we’ve mentioned extensively – here’s a video of one spinning. The launch is supported by a global network of distributors, partners, and retailers ready to sell the unique turbine from a starting price of $5,795, plus installation.
