Usually we are talking about Free Energy, or ways to conserve electricity or other vital resources. This week, I have to tell you about REDBOX.

Redbox is offering a FREE movie every Wednesday in March as well as the first week in April. There is no credit check and you can rent new releases just like in the big name rental stores, but for only $1.00 per night. As an added incentive, if you go to their BLOG at http://blog.redbox.com and look for promo codes, you can get a FREE MOVIE tonight and every Wednesday.

LED Bulbs: Efficient lighting is here to stay..... - The introduction of LED light bulbs into the market has been hindered due to several factors. Namely: lumens (brightness) color (led produce blue radiance vs. white) market promotion and affordability. Although LED bulbs for residential and commercial applications are not quite where they need to be, they are starting to scratch their way into the market this year with more force than ever before.

On the Horizon and Here Today: LED Alternatives to Linear Fluorescents - NATIONAL REPORT—In meeting rooms, back of house and other areas of your hotel, chances are great that you are using T-12 fluorescent lamps or the more efficient T-8s to illuminate large spaces. At least two companies—ilumisys, Inc. in Troy, Mich., and LEDdynamics, Inc. in Randolph, Vt.—are trying to replace these linear fluorescents with LED alternatives that are more energy efficient and safer for the environment. Fluorescent tubes include mercury and despite recycling efforts, 500 million to 600 million lamps end up in landfills each year. LED alternatives do not include mercury. [ENN Green Building]
