Mitesdesign.com will be showing up green rather soon. I figured it’d time to let my colors show.
For several months now Mitesdesign.com and a number of affiliated web-sites have been hosted by 130% green carbon credits. Meaning that every month the power used by our server is carbon neutral and 30% of the power is credited back to the grid.
This is a simple beginning of a number of changes that have been discussed recently when we asked what is our story? Personally I have been a supporter of sustainable energy since 5th grade when I first played with solar panels in my school science fair. It took many years before I came to realize how those panels hooked up to a motor could reshape the world. We live at a time when “global warming” has gone from a myth of the extremists, to a responsibility hot potatoe being tossed around, “well it may exist, but it’s not our fault”. This while the World Bank held their first conference on how to deal with climate change over 2 years ago.
Sustainability is a rather big word when you first hear it, in a nutshell it means that what we do now, our grandchildren and their grandchildren will be able to do. I’m not here to harp on anyone, however over the next several weeks I will be happy to show a new face, and look forward to sharing tips on how to green up your own business. Most things are rather simple, and the beauty of it is that most things that are green save green.
GO GREEN!

I recently came across a project Google has put together to give away $10 million to the idea that can help the most people Project 10 to the 100.Until this coming Monday October 20th they are accepting any idea to help others in whatever way you, and anyone else has to share. So I present the question: Given the chance how would you change the world?You have friends and associates who have been thinking of that one thing they would do if only there was enough _______________. I can think of a few I’ve had over the years, such as using solar powered electrolysis to convert ocean water into pure drinking water while running a small engine with some of the extra hydrogen.In this competition there are no wrong answers.Please share your ideas with the world, think how you would like things to change and then think how you could do it bigger. This competition gives the grand prize to the idea that can help the most people.What a beautiful idea,share Project 10 to the 100 far and wide

Hello, and welcome,
Welcome to our little spot on the great world wide web. World wide web, quite a concept isn’t it, the entire world connected strand by strand.
Chances are you’ve met me in passing, or perhaps I am lucky enough to call you a friend, as I don’t invest time into promoting this website through any SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I plan on using this as my platform to help you make my job easier. The way I’m going to do that is give you lot’s of ideas and methods for how to achieve results online. Introducing strategies that work while tracking the results of my own experiements and giving away the occasional peak.
My goal is to help you, the business owner, whether your business is to sell a product, supply the best service, or change the world in some way, if I’m working with you it is because I believe I can help you reach your goal. For beginners I’d like to talk about the power of the local internet. I live in a rather small city named Casselberry. This small city held a 2000 census count of 22,629, now compare that to 3,435 that searched for “Casselberry” last month through Yahoo. This is a city which is referenced as a section of Orlando, which has 149,759 searches last month. The power of the local internet is that those that are searching are looking for something specific. If I am looking up the address of the nearest family diner then I am going to search for “Casselberry Diner”. Your neighbors are local, your customers are local, you are local.
Do you have a listing in the yellow pages?
How many customers have walked in, or called referring to it?
How much does that listing cost you every year?
How much would not having it cost you?
