There are many ways to conserve energy with best practices, and increasingly available means to produce one's own energy using solar, wind or other turbine technology. Geothermal applications are also an energy conscious alternative for managing building temperature, with the cost often prohibitive for smaller applications. They can be effective in larger commercial applications and are often seen as part of a LEED certified commercial or community building project.
Solar energy alternatives have exploded in recent years, with facilities ranging from individual residential to commercial and industrial on up to major municipal arrays. Wind energy is most often found in the large windmill "farms" situated in rural landscapes and shoreline areas, and even open water sites such as the Great Lakes. The emerging bio-fuels technologies promise to re-shape our solid waste dilemma, providing green chemicals and additives designed to support the circular economy network.
