Plenty – It’s Easy Being Green
I came across a link for the green magazine Plenty this morning and I thought I would share my thoughts with our readers. The Plenty website is very clean, simple, easy to navigate and most importantly, and full of green!
The article that I find the most interesting is, “The Plenty 20”. The web article lists 20 companies that are pushing the ecological envelope. The companies range from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Some of the more recognizable names that made the list are General Electric, Toyota, Whole Foods and Goldman Sachs.
The company that piqued my curiosity the most is Nanosolar. According to the article, Nanosolar is has developed a thin film technology for producing solar panels that are lighter, cheaper, and as efficient as traditional solar panels. As I read the article I found myself surfing over to Nanosolar’s website.
On Nanosolar’s website, the first thing they mention is that they are on track to make solar electricity cost-efficient, mass-produced on a global scale and available in many versatile forms. I had a chance to look at their CNN video and I must say that I was very impressed with the technology. It is easy to see why their mission statement is: “A Solar Panel on Every Building”. If they are able to get their solar plant built and running efficiently, the skies the limit for the company and for purchasers of their solar panels.
If you are interested in learning about Nanosolar or the other companies that made the Plenty Top 20, head over to the Plenty website. In order to read the full article, you need to visit your local supermarket or bookstore to buy the magazine or sign-up for a subscription online. I think I will head out this afternoon to buy my copy of Plenty.
