NEW ARTIST I FOUND at a conference: Barbara Ragalyi Hirt

I heard music when I read Barbara's energy field. And I hear music when I see her paintings. ". . . my art "touches on the powerful, universal energy that connects man to spirit." My work is spiritual and centering, told with simplicity, expressing in color and composition what cannot be spoken with words. It embodies the music, harmony, and mystery of the Universe, the underlying energy of our world, the music of being within all things, creating a peaceful, harmonious space wherein one can experience silence, still-point, and the oneness with all. It continues to engage, excite, and nurture however often you view it."

Green Power Partnership  – How to purchase Green Power

The Green Power Partnership encourages organizations to purchase green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with conventional electricity use. The use of conventional fossil fuel based electricity can be one of the greatest environmental impacts associated with an organization’s operations. A green power purchase can provide organizations a number of benefits, including the ability to reduce such environmental impacts. Green power is electricity generated from renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro resources. Green power resources contribute little to no greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Voluntary purchases of green power also help to accelerate the development of new, domestic renewable energy facilities, further increasing our nation’s energy security.
