US Economy affects the World

Economic Report:
In what is deemed an emergency move, the FED has cut rates by .50. This is combined with a rate cut by the European Central bank, the banks of England and Canada, Sweden and Switzerland.
Over the past few weeks, the credit markets have tightened considerably -- making 'business as usual' all but impossible. Even with the FED's move, stocks are down once again today, continuing a worldwide trend. All the major indices from around the globe - England's FTSE; Germany's DAX; France's CAC-40; The Japanese Nikkei; and Hong Kong's Hang Seng were down significantly today.
The FED's move to cut short term rates had an opposite effect on the longer term rates, pushing the yield on the 10 Year Treasury Bond back up to 3.79%! The stock indices have turned a corner and are currently in positive territory.

Environmentally friendly home for sale on Maui , ( 11/27/07)

WAILUKU, Maui — Just in time for Christmas, Towne Island Homes is preparing to offer for sale "the most environmentally sensitive home ever built in the Hawaiian Islands."

Towne has a stack of awards from the recent Building Industry Association Parade of Homes to back up its claim.

And at $2.5 million, the four-bedroom, four-bath home in Koa at Kehalani is a bargain. It cost Towne considerably more to build it.

That was OK, said Mike Mervis of Zilber Ltd., Towne's parent company, because it was a research and development project.

Although the project was undertaken for Zilber's residential side, it has provided unexpected spinoffs already for the company's industrial and commercial work. For example, Zilber is rebuilding a huge abandoned Pabst brewery in its headquarters city of Milwaukee, and the bioswales used on Maui are being incorporated there

The Good New’s @ one year later !

The Good Home has been sold to a German Citizen. His Comments to the new purchase “ This was my home from the moment I saw it and I had no choice to just buy it “.

In einer vor kurzem entstandenen Studie wird im Jahre 2020 der Wassermangel ein weltweites Problem sein. Unsere Wasservorraete werden uns nicht mehr ausreichen. Also ist ein Umweltfreundlicher Umgang mit unseren Wasservorraeten nicht nur eine “gute Sache”, sondern auch eine Notwendigkeit, wenn wir wollen das auch unsere Kinder ausreichend Wasser haben.

Es ist eine Tatsache das Canada weltweit der zweitgroesste Wasserverbraucher (nach den U.S.A.) ist. Im durchschnitt verbraucht jeder einzelne Kanadier bis zu 65.000 Liter Wasser im Jahr.. Das ist zweimal soviel wie der Verbrauch eines Franzosen, dreimal soviel wie der durchnittliche Deutsche, beinahe viermal soviel wie der durchschnittliche Schwede, und mehr als achtmal soviel wie der durchscnittliche Daene verbrauchen wuerde. In diesem Masse werden unsere Wasservorraete (hauptsaechlich unser Grundwasser) nicht mehr ausreichen, um unseren immer ansteigenden Beduerfnissen und anwachsender Bevoelkerung gerecht zu werden.

Dieses bedeutet das sogar hier in Kanada, in unseren eigenen Staedten wir in Kuerze einen Wassermangel erleben werden. Immer mehr Staedte in Kanada haben angefangen den Wasserverbrauch zu besteuern.
Vermerk : Kanada ist geographisch im Besitz von 47% des Trinkwassers weltweit.

Also sollten wir diese Moeglichkeit wahr nehmen, um unserer Umwelt etwas zugute kommen zu lassen und gleichzeitig Geld sparen.

Wenn sie in betracht ziehen das min.35 % ihres Wassers ( und ihr Geld ) die Toilette heruntergespuelt wird, macht es Sinn etwas dagegen zu tun!

Das Brac System ist die Loesung. Es ist patentiert und mit den neuesten Komponenten entwickelt worden, um das Abwasser aus ihrer Dusche, dem Bad und der Waschmaschiene(*1) zu filtrieren um es dann 'nur' fuer ihr Toilettensystem zu benutzen.

Das wiederverwertete 'Grauwasser' wird 'NUR' fuer ihre Toilette benutzt und kann NICHT in ihr Frischwassersystem gelangen.

Alle Fremdteile werden herausgefiltert, sie benutzen es genauso wie normales Wasser ohne dafuer bezahlen zu muessen und tun natuerlich auch gleichzeitig etwas fuer die Umwelt.

Zudem laesst sich das Brac System einfach an ihr existierendes Abflussystem mit ein wenig Umbau anschliessen, den einziegen Unterschied erkennen sie in der Zukunft dann an ihrer Wasserrechnung.

(*1)Erkundigen Sie sich bei Ihrem oertlichen Bauamt um die noetigen Baugenehmigungen aller aueserlich verwendeten Teile.

Unser Brac System hat eine bis zu fuenf Jahre lang Weltweit anerkannte Garantie

The GREEN HOUSING MARKET is growing lush and luxurious…

According to the National Association of Home Builders, even as the housing market has moderated in many parts of the country, the demand for Green Homes is exceeding the available supply, despite the fact that green home building has risen 50% since 2004.

Why the growing appeal? People are drawn to making their homes healthier, living more lightly on the planet, and experiencing the economic benefits of saving energy.

IN A NATIONAL SURVEY 78% OF CONSUMERS SAID THEY WOULD CHOOSE ONE HOME OVER ANTOTHER BASED ON IT’S ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND THE MAJORITY WOULD PAY MORE FOR ENERGY-SAVING FEATURES.

Maui’s First Female EcoBroker: Meghan Clair of Windermere Real Estate Wailea, can strongly assist SELLERS by making their Home stand out amongst the crowded inventory. Meghan is professionally certified to highlight the eco-aspects of their property to potential buyers, market their property on a variety of GREEN specific websites, and overall earn them top dollar for their home.

Meghan Clair can also assist BUYERS in finding homes that are healthier to occupy, more energy efficient to operate, and that are potentially more valuable in a re-sale situation in the future.
