Ever the activist, environmentalist and friend of Jetson Green, Josh Dorfman has contributed two items to be given away with this article.  You've probably heard of Josh through his website and Sirius Satellite Radio show, The Lazy Environmentalist.  He's also the author of The Lazy Environmentalist: Your Guide to Easy, Stylish, and Green Living, which he generously autographed and provided for this giveaway.  You may also know about Josh's ventures with Modern Green Living and Vivavi, both of which we've mentioned previously.  Vivavi has some serious green eye candy -- but the one for our focus is the Ripple 3d Recycled Wallpaper. 

Ripple 3D wallpaper is made from 100% recycled paper and comes in twelve, 12" x 12"-tile packages for $32.00.  You can paint them to match your room or leave them natural for that ecological, organic feel.  Plus, you can arrange them in a variety of ways to add texture and depth to a room or wall. 

So here's your chance to win one package of the Ripple 3D wallpaper and an autographed copy of The Lazy Environmentalist.  This is a cool giveaway because not only do you get some fresh modern decoration, but you also get a thorough green guide that will keep giving you information after you've started with a Ripple 3D wall.

If there's anything that I've learned from you the reader, it's that you're (1) concerned for the environment and (2) smart, engaged, demanding, and relentless in your pursuit of quality information.  For that reason, I've decided to giveaway two books together as kind of a bundle to one commenter.*  The first book is Worldchanging: A User's Guide to the 21st Century in paperback.  The forward was written by Al Gore and the rest was edited by Alex Steffen -- it's 600 pages full of legit solutions.  The second book is Nature and Selected Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson.  What can I say about this book other than it contains over 15 classic writings that have influenced thousands and thousands of people.  Both books are highly influential, both books are perfect for smart Jetson Green readers. 

How to Purchase (if you don't win):
Worldchanging and Nature are both nice to have around and re-read.  If you don't win and you want to pick up a copy, feel free to give Amazon a try for both Worldchanging and Nature.

I've been a MOO mini-card customer for probably two years and am what you might call a gargantuan fan of the company.  Every time I give someone a MOO, I get a reaction from them.  I gave one to Ed Begley, Jr. and he was blown away by the small design.  So I was excited to hear that MOO began offering eco-friendly business cards within the last couple weeks.  I designed a set using Jetson Green logos (imported from Flickr) and they shipped to me in a snap.  They're absolutely incredible, too.  I just love the look and feel of these green business cards.  If you want to get a set, MOO Green cards come in a 50 pack with pricing from $21.99 plus shipping.  They're made with 100% recycled fiber, completely recyclable and biodegradable, and totally chlorine free.  Plus, they look so good and you can make as many unique cards as you have imagination. 

If you're giving away thousands of business cards, I guess MOO could be an expensive addiction, but I like to save my MOO cards for special people.  They're my A-list business cards.  Everyone could use an eco-friendly, A-list business card, so feel free to drop by MOO, if you don't win the giveaway.

I teased this earlier in the week, but today -- July 23, 2008 -- is the two year blog birthday for Jetson Green.  Seriously.  It's actually been two years and we've been going strong every day, having a dang good time in the process.  In the tradition of the blogosphere, we're celebrating the blog birthday, but we decided to use the ocassion to celebrate you, the reader.  We appreciate your feedback, emails, comments, tips, and everything you bring to the Jetson Green community.  It's tough to say thanks in a meaningful way for giving us another good year, but here's how we'll try:

We're throwing a party and giving out some great green gifts. 

Like our book giveaways in the past, you just need to drop a comment in the article for each green giveaway that you want to participate in.  By all means, participate in all of them!  As always, though, we're required to have these legal giveaway terms.  Giveaways will be open until midnight mountain standard time on Friday, July 25, 2008.  After that, I'll pick a random number for each article, which number corresponds to the comments in the order received, and I'll email the winners for a physical address.  If you win and email your address back to me, your green gift will be in the mail next week. 

Here's what we're giving away. 

• MOO Green Pack of Eco-friendly Business Cards
• Book Duo: Worldchanging & Nature by Emerson
• Building Green with Kevin Contreras Season 1 DVD

Plans for the world's largest offshore wind farm are now on again, according to the Guardian newspaper in London.

The 1,000 megawatt farm is planned off the coast of northeast England and will generate enough power for 750,000 homes. The newspaper says the first phase should be completed by 2012 and the total project is estimated to cost US$5 billion.

A company called Clipper Wind — which does its manufacturing in Cedar Rapids — is set to develop the turbines.
