I submitted an entry to National Geographic "The Green Effect" contest for the BIOS concept, and I feel I have a strong chance to win. Could u sign in below, leave a comment and rate it 5 stars? This would be a big help, Also if u could forward this to other environmentally conscious people that would be great.SunChips and National Geographic have joined forces to create the Green Effect, an eco-initiative that moves individuals to spark a green movement in their communities. Green Effect asked Americans to submit original, Earth-saving ideas.Now we need your help to rate the ideas.
On July 7, 2009, we will reveal our ten finalists and allow YOU to begin voting for your favorite idea. Your votes will determine one of the winners, and a panel of esteemed judges will select four others. Each winner will be awarded a $20,000 grant and the opportunity to share their projects with environmental leaders in Washington, D.C. They will also be profiled in National Geographic magazine.SIGN IN TO RATE THIS PLAN, LEAVE A COMMENT AND GET A FREE LINK ON NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIChttp://greeneffect.nationalgeographic.com/idea/2922/ THE BIOS CONCEPT AS SUBMITTED TO NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC:I would develop an education service to educate the community and the world about the power of conservation, cogeneration and alternative energy. Free Energy audits will be provided for homes and commercial buildings to check viability to use co-generation of power. Conservation and Cogeneration can lower power usage by 85%, saving money and energy reducing our carbon foot print and reliance on fossil fuels.
I would start with my town hall and public buildings, saving the schools on energy costs would allow them to increase the budget specifically dedicated to children. This small step will expand globally as I create a social business enterprise our sales reps and customers will be the owners. I believe that doing the right thing is the priority of the organization, the end result of helping people, saving the planet and boosting the economy is exceptional profits that can fund other socially responsible projects, and generate tremendous publicity.
As the organization grows, manufacturing plants will be opened worldwide to provide low-cost, local building materials from recycled medical waste, plastic and metal. The technology is currently available and the new framing is one fourth the weight of steel and ten times stronger. The primary product lines would be affordable housing and medical properties.
$20,000 would be used to develop and promote educational programs through low to no cost PR that would initially promote conservation and co-generation of energy… I offer the concept to the world with faith and conviction that the right people will come forward.

Very thorough.
JenniferLL1966 June 11, 2009, 12:33PMThis proposal promotes hope for a suffering economy and environment. We must be responsible for our wastes and find ways to reuse and recycle that is affordable. The essential ingredient is keeping it low cost. Ideas presented here seem to address these needs along with educating the public on options that can be made available to them.
stephenschappert June 11, 2009, 12:57PMThe grammar is a bit rough due to last minute rewrite with 250 word limitation. Hopefully the idea still comes through
facethemusic3 June 11, 2009, 03:23PMI pray that more of the world will WAKE UP and climb aboard. This is exactly the direction we should be going in! Good Luck ! I give this idea 5 stars.
suzee June 11, 2009, 03:58PMgreat concept, education and awareness is truly the only way that significant change will occur
kchiras June 11, 2009, 04:02PMThis is a great idea that will help nudge the peoples of the world a little further along in the direction they MUST go.
paulaburns June 11, 2009, 04:37PMTaking responsibility for the waste we (all) produce by taking steps to 'reduce, reuse & recycle' simply needs to be our way of life in order to have a sustainable planet for future generations. I am interested and impressed with the idea of using waste - waste that would otherwise be filing up landfills and potentially contaminating the soil and water supplies - to create a product that has the potential to benefit so many, on so many levels. This is the type of thinking I support. This is the type of life I want to lead. This is the type of business I support. It offers it all: energy independence, reusing waste, creating jobs, lowering costs, working together to bring about positive change... I give this submission five stars. Good luck.
mggrew June 11, 2009, 05:12PMSteve: Noble idea. Great idea to start with town buildings and schools where fuel costs directly affect property taxes and so diminish the funds for education. I gave it 5 stars. Hope you will get the resources to fulfill this goal. Milton Gregory "Greg" Grew, AIA, Architect Grew Design, Inc. Woodbury, CT www.GrewDesign.com

trishial1968 June 12, 2009, 01:48PMI have been a huge supporter of this concept since Steve began his crusade. I believe if there is change to be made, we all must accept the responsiblity and take the first step. This would be a HUGE step in making our world and even better our children and grandchildren's world better! I hope everyone will lend their support!
Dawn1712 June 12, 2009, 09:15PMI give this submission 5 stars! Great concept, this is definitely the way we all should be thinking today. Big changes need to be made, your plan is thought through exceptionally well. I hope you get the resources to fufill this goal and dream that you have. Steve, I wish you the best of luck!
asstchiefgpjr1 June 13, 2009, 01:08PMsounds very promising getting it started appears to require a bit of b acking this ius the time since the president is pushing this concept
billys1931 June 13, 2009, 01:59PMA well conceived, well thought out and worthwhile endeavor. This has been Steve's idea for several years and I'm glad he's out getting the message across. Getting started with municipal projects looks like the way to go ...gives people something to touch, feel, look at and see the benefits. Rate it 5 stars

steve1964 June 15, 2009, 12:45PMOur Mission: Create a better world for our children by helping people, saving the environment, and boosting the economy. We strive to strike a balance between man and nature and long term financial goals with short term cash flow requirements. Give a man a loaf of bread, he eats for the day, teach him to fish, he feeds himself for a lifetime. We will teach him to harvest fish to feed many for seven generations. We will teach landlords that donating vacant space to woman’s centers for shelters is not just the right thing to do but the tax credit is good for their bottom line.
CEO, Steve Schappert says, "There are no delusions, it is a lifetime of work for many people. A lifetime dedicated to leaving the world a better place for the next seven generations. It's about people caring enough to get involved, roll up their sleeves and taking ownership in a cause that is more than just building and selling homes. It's our present, our future and the dreams of many.
The concept of cleaner, healthier living, promoted by building affordable, energy independent home building is just the beginning. "BIOS" is life, pure and simple. "BIOS" is about teaching people to do well, by doing good! The "BIOS" concept in its most basic form is powerful enough to bring about a fundamental change through out the world that can save the environment and boost the economy.
Today I am one step closer to ensuring my children have a better life because of my actions. I also understand that for all this to work I need help from people much smarter than myself, in turn they will attract people smarter than themselves, and together we will change the world.
