Almost two years after the fact, more than 22 states around the US have declared a “drought”, and a total of 36 anticipate severe water shortages by 2013*. Whenever drought conditions surface, the combination of environmental effect, coupled with a lack of awareness and inaction by public regulators, almost always converge to fail the consumer.

Losing Profits to Diesel? We Have an Electrifying Solution.
By: Dave Whitelaw
The United States burns more than 4.1 million barrels (over 172 million gallons) of diesel every day. So it’s not surprising that when diesel prices surge the price increase significantly impacts the economy. In fact, recent increases cost the US economy about $300 million in extra fuel costs per day.

It was cheap and plentiful, like the diesel fuel used to haul it. Then, in 1990 in Cleveland, AmeriMulch invented the idea of colored mulch. That changed everything.
