Last week, a camera crew from Hawkes Media Group dropped by to do some filming at the Urban Green Energy headquarters.  It was exciting to have our office transformed to a live set for a few hours!

          We left the cool air-conditioned building and travelled to Brooklyn to visit Urban Green Energy's eddy vertical axis wind turbine at a construction site. Taking the A and thereafter the F, we arrived at the site where a green entrepreneur has erected a wind turbine in his ultra-green building. The complex’ features are innovative: recycled materials make up 70% of the building, super-insulation will keep its inhabitants toasty and it will be fully powered by wind and solar generators.

Google's new self-driving Prius is a new innovation in technology that would help me in my daily life considerably. Still recovering from my back surgery, walking to the train station in the morning can be painful. However, this type of technology would not only relax me knowing I have a ride to the station, but it would decrease my back pain and allow me to have more energy throughout my day. Google's idea of helping people with technology is one I would undoubtedly support, seeing as this car could be the solution to mine as well as many other individuals' daily inconveniences.

Learning about wind energy has been a curiosity of mine for a few weeks.  Luckily, I was able to get an internship at Urban Green Energy.  Since starting this internship, I have learned about the process of installing wind turbines as well as how beneficial they can be to any consumer interested in purchasing one.  Having no background learning about this industry, I can honestly say I was nervous to start working in a new environment.  However, the employees of this company were open minded and took no time in making me feel comfortable.
