  Wood Stoves & Global Warming

  Lillian Brummet

  Date / Time: 11/20/2008 6:00 PM UTC

  Category: Environment

  
  

  These days, with fossil fuel costs rising and alternative’s like solar and wind still beyond the average consumer’s budget, many are returning to wood to heat their homes. Often, this can be a huge benefit to the family budget – especially if they are able to get the wood themselves. Unfortunately, there are huge environmental costs if this heat source is not handled consciously. So today we have the Woodstove Exchange Program Coordinator – John Vere – joining us. We are going to learn about the program, some of the behind-the-scenes activities in running the program and why it is so important to educate the public. Learn how to save money this winter and reduce contribution to global warming – at the same time, learn some tricks in starting fires and types of wood to use for specific situations. ...Find the host at: www.brummet.ca

  Intrapreneur Mindset - Powerful People

  Victoria DePaul’s new book, “Creating the Intrapreneur: The Search for Leadership Excellence,” reveals how individuals, families and organizations are human energy systems where the basic unit of power is the person. Negative or positive energy in the system begins with the individual and determines productivity. The “intrapreneurial” mindset – individuals who do not just think outside the box, but busts loose from the box – is created when positive energy can create positive action and eventually positive results, critical to success. DePaul is an expert in the study of psycanics – the study of the soul – and has been a human resources manager for more than two decades.
