GREENROCK says: We are proud to be part of this year's Heritage Month theme: Green: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Greenrock has been working with the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs to help create a policy and launch a campaign for going "green".

The situation for those wishing to connect Solar Panels to the grid is changing all the time. This month, the Energy and Telecommunications ministry circulated Belco's proposed interconnection agreement and asked for comments.
The newly formed energy commission will then be able to consider those comments and make changes to Belco's proposed agreement to the benefit of all. When this agreement is approved you will be able to connect your panels or wind turbine to the grid and receive credit for the power you generate.

Most of us know that Bermuda's building environment as it exists today is almost totally unsustainable. It does not use any significant amount of local materials, whilst those building materials which are considered waste after a project is completed or are eventually replaced, end up in the land fill at the airport dump or are burned in the incinerator, due to the lack of any significant industrial recycling scheme on the island. Built with very little mandated attention to efficiency, buildings on the island are almost completely reliant on imported energy as well. Additionally, construction labor is very expensive due to the high cost of living on the island.
