The View is a Navajo owned business located within the Navajo Tribal Park at Monument Valley. It was designed to blend with the natural environment and “respect Mother Nature.” Every balcony faces the iconic sandstone buttes in the valley. It’s a great place to experience amazing sunrises and sunsets and, with no light pollution, gaze at the stars in all their brilliance.

Scout Moor Wind Farm is the second largest onshore wind farm in England. The wind farm, which was built for Peel Wind Power Ltd, produces electricity from 26 Nordex N80 wind turbines. It has a total nameplate capacity of 65 MW of electricity, providing 154,000 MW·h per year;[1] enough to serve the average needs of 40,000 homes. The site occupies 1,347 acres (545 ha) of open moorland between Edenfield, Rawtenstall and Rochdale,and is split between the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale in northern Greater Manchester and the Borough of Rossendale in south-eastern Lancashire. The turbines are visible from as far away as south Manchester, 15–20 miles (24–32 km) away.

Say hello..This is our 2008 Columbia. I can not tell you how much
I like this truck - It has a lot of room and just a great truck...I am so thankful
that we have it.....I had a truck wash last night so I could take a picture of it so
I could show it too everyone but I had to park in a dirt lot..And the bugs were out..
oh well I tried..
HOPE EVERY ONE HAS A GREAT WEEK...deb

Environmentally freindly! Each new heavy diesel truck sold in the United States and Canada will have an exhaust After Treatment System or ATS. These include Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF’s) that trap any particulate matter, or soot, in the exhaust to protect the environment. The soot is periodically REGENERATED into clean, carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. What’s left that comes out of the stack is so clean there is no odor or diesel smell. There are 2 types of REGENERATION: Active and Passive. Active REGENERATION is done automatically, while driving, but if the system gets too dirty alarms will sound and driver intervention is required. We have to park away from any combustible materials, away from trees and overheads, and on a solid non-combustible surface. Once we manually start the REGENERATION process the temperature at the top of the stack can reach 1600 degrees and the truck cannot move until the process is complete. If a driver ignores the alarms and does not stop to complete a manual REGENERATION, the truck will shut down and can’t be restarted until the Diesel Particulate Filter is replaced by a service technician.
In a nutshell: Like a self cleaning oven or that first fire in your wood stove you want so hot you clean your chimney pipes……..
The Technical Version:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all engines built after 12/31/06 must reduce the level of Nitrogen Oxides and other particulate matter below current levels. The Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) exhausted by the engine will be limited to just over 1.0 grams per brake horsepower hour (g/bhp-hr). Particulate Matter (PM) cannot exceed .01g/bhp-hr.
NOx will be reduced by increasing the percentage levels of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and, in this truck, with the addition of a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). Particulate Matter (PM), made of soot and ash, will be reduced through the use of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Both the DPF and the DOC will be housed in an After-Treatment Device (ATD).
The ATD is a canister that replaces the muffler. It houses a Cordierite ceramic substrate brick called a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and another substrate brick called a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). As exhaust gas passes through the ATD, the DOC oxidizes hydrocarbons and reduces NOx and the DPF traps PM.
Per EPA mandate the ash must be cleaned from the DPF, no more often than every 150,000 miles or 4,000 to 6,000 hours of service. Soot is also collected in the ATD but is converted to basic elements and a small amount of ash by an event called Regeneration.
There are two types of Regeneration: Passive and Active. Both involve a temperature increase within the ATD.
Passive Regeneration takes place inside the ATD when temperatures reach 300-degrees Celsius. The process is ongoing when the truck is being driven and exhaust gas temperatures are no higher than normal.
Active Regeneration occurs when the inside temperature of the ATD reaches 600-degrees Celsius. The process is achieved by diesel fuel passing through the DOC or by igniting diesel fuel with a burner. The two basic types of active regeneration are:
Active In-Transit Regeneration: Truck is traveling at speeds greater than 20 miles per hour. Discontinued under 10 mph.
Stationary Active Regeneration: Truck is parked and in neutral. Driver or maintenance technician performs necessary tasks.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel and Low Ash Engine Oils will be required.

The Marriott Hotel in Victoria, BC, Canada has a green roof above the entrance to the underground parking. I guess they used a lot of evergreen plants and trees because it's still very green even though this picture was taken in winter time.
Green living covers many different aspects whatever the green lifestyle. Green living can indicate a private green area both at home and within the workplace. It may also correlate green travel, ecological travel destinations, herbal and natural medication choices, recycling, urban gardening about to come out soon or it could possibly pertain to all of these things to be the whole.

The Helmsley Building at 230 Park Avenue is now lit every night with an energy efficient, color changing, computer-controlled LED light system. The new lighting system is highly programmable. The LED lights are on the entire northern face and the crown of the building. In an effort to reinvent the building, the lighting exterior can, and will, go from tame to wild depending on the season.
The new lighting makes the building stand out and visible from 40 blocks away. It also sends an important message that if older, historic and iconic buildings can take drastic measures to become environmentally friendly, there's no reason why every other building can't do the same.
In 2010, after a more than $100 million renovation, 230 Park became the first pre-war office building in New York to earn Gold Leed status, an internationally recognized designation for being an environmentally friendly building.
That colorful building in the center is the Helmsley Building. At one time, this was owned by Leona Helmsley, known here in New York as the Queen of Mean due to her cruel and tyrannical behavior. She was eventually convicted of federal income tax evasion and is remembered for saying, "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes...", a quote that became notorious and was identified with her for the rest of her life.
When she died in 2007, a large portion of her estate was left to her dog, Trouble. Who, I imagine, is still enjoying his inheritance.
