The Indiana Renewable Energy Association (www.indianarenew.org) is very pleased to invite the Greener Indiana members of Smaller Indiana to a reception for Paul Gipe, internationally renowned author on wind power and advocate for governmental policies promoting renewable energy development. Paul Gipe (www.wind-works.org) is a Ball State University graduate and native of Alexandria, Indiana, who now lives and works in California. This is a unique opportunity to meet and hear from this wind energy expert and advocate for Feed-in Tariffs (FITs).

In addition to a federal law introduced to establish FITs, bills have been introduced in the states of Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Rhode Island and California. Paul Gipe is also scheduled to meet with Michigan State legislators and members of the Michigan Public Service Commission on September 16-17.

I am part owner of a "Green" consumer products company called EccaPure.com. If you would like to try some products, use the code "cs28" and receive 15% off all products. We are doing what we can to get these products to market. Let me know if you know people we can network thru. Thank you so much.

I have several paint cans and unused spray paint bottles. Where do I properly dispose these? I live Broad Ripple. Can someone help?

Hi there~I am new to the group. I, too, am surprised at the apparent lack of information out there on green guidelines. I have several ideas for green/sustainable business ventures and I'm not sure where to start. Maybe here...

Boxes that cereal, soda, yogurt drinks come in. Paper towel tubes and toilet paper tubes. It's that stiff cardboard that isn't corrugated. Paperboard is the leading source of waste according to an EPA article I read. Cities all around indianapoilis
