Columbus Suburb Going Green
May 26, 2008
Westerville, a surburb on Columbus’ north side, has decided to resurrect a plan to allow city residents to buy more environmentally sound forms of energy, including wind and hydro. The plan was passed approximately four years ago, but was never promoted because energy prices continued to increase.
According to an article in the Columbus Dispatch, the additional cost to residents of Westerville would be approximately $13 per month.
I’m a Westerville resident and would be more than happy to pay the increase. Now this is an example of Ohio politics functioning as it should.

I think going green is something that everyone can agree is a step in the right direction toward building a better community, and laying down the foundations for which future generations can successfully thrive in a healthier environment. Plus, I think many businesses will benefit from going green, not only building a more acceptable public persona, but in the long run it really helps companies save money and be a positive contributor to the world we live in.
Another thing I want to talk about is bioheat, it’s just one small measure that people can take in order to start living a greener lifestyle.
Has anyone ever heard of it, or has switched to it? I want to start taking initiative in turning my home into a greener household, one way I have started is by switching out all my lightbulbs in my home to energy efficient lightbulbs. And I am also seriously considering switching over to bioheat as an alternative to regular oilheat. The thing that I love the most about it is that it’s completely clean burning, and is comprised of a b5 blend of oils which are derived from natural plant and vegetable sustainable resources such as corn, hemp, and avocados just to name a few. If you all want more information on how bioheat works, just go on to http://oilheatamerica.com/index.mv?screen=bioheat I work with NORA to bring this info to you all!
Alan - Thanks for the comment and the link. I’ll be checking that out soon. I’ve not heard of bioheat before. We have changed the light bulbs throughout the house. I guess every little thing helps.
No problem Jason, glad I could introduce to something you were not previously familiar with. Hopefully you find the information helpful!
