Interview with Jordana Gustafson, Editor of
www.sustainlane.com
_________________________

Mike Carruthers:
In order to save money on air-conditioning, many people believe it's best to keep a room at the same temperature all the time rather than turn the A/C up and down.

Jordana Gustafson:
And this is actually not true - the energy that's used to re-cool a space is always going to be less than or equal to the amount of energy used to keep it at a consistent lower temperature.

Jordana Gustafson, Editor of the green website www.sustainlane.com…

So the idea is to set the thermostat where you need it when you're home and then put it at a more reasonable temperature so that you're not using so much energy when you don't need it.

If the sun is shining through your windows in the summertime it is creating heat.

Particularly windows on the south and west side of the home - keep the curtains drawn on that side of the home during the day when the sun is brightest and hottest.

Your refrigerator uses a lot of electricity, even more if the seal on the door is loose.

And one way to check that is to take a piece of paper, put it in the fridge and shut the door. If it stays snugly then you know that you've still got a good seal on your refrigerator and you're not wasting energy.

And if you're using fluorescent light bulbs to save energy, that's great but remember they contain mercury so when they burn out you should dispose of them as hazardous waste.

One way is to go to earth911.org and you can put in your zip code and it'll tell you where to take them.

With expected releases such as the limited “Bin 23″ Air Jordan 9 and let’s not forget about the Air Jordan 6 Retro “Infrared” Pack. So with all pairs dropping this June, we now get another June Air Jordan release.
The Air Jordan Flight SC-1 has been adored by many people, especially the basketball players. During the month of May, we have seen a couple Flight SC-1s. With the month coming to an end, this probably is the last colorway of May. This latest Air Jordan Flight SC-1 comes in a Black/Red/Grey colorway.
Is anyone else fed up with 9s or am I the only one? Well

Air Jordan MELO M5

Air Jordan 3 (III)
Air Jordan 5 (V)
Air Jordan 7 (VII)
if you love the 9s so much, this is your year. Just yesterday we got new images of the OG colorway Air Jordan IX Retro. Well now we have new images of the “Un-Powder” Air Jordan IX, which features a reverse colorway of the Powder Blue 9s, which are set to release this Saturday. I personally don’t like this colorway of the Air Jordan IX, but some people are bound to like. The sneaker sports an upper made of nubuck with patent leather used on the mudguard. Rumor has it that these 9s will be limited to just 2,000 pairs. Check out the newest images of the “Un-Powders” and let us know what you think.
This Flight SC-1 features a mesh like material on areas such as the toe box, side panel, and heel panel. The rest of the sneakers base uses black patent leather on the tongue, toe area, and just above the midsole. Other features include white contrast stitching, grey midsole, and a black outsole. Red accents appear on the tongue Jumpman and inner lining. Take a look at some more images after the jump and tell us if you think this is the best Flight SC-1 yet.
