Check the controversial video on my blog - do you think these girls were wrong for showing school spirit through body painting (clothed)?

ARKAngel is a Green Energy Consultant Too!

Did you know that asides from being a DJ & a body painter, ARKAngel is also a Green Energy Consultant? Saving the environment & leaving a green healthy earth as a legacy are a few of her missions ...

The Green Energy Act came into effect a very short time ago here in Ontario, Canada. Green has not only become super trendy, it really is becoming and morphing into a way of life for many. It has become more apparent and more important for all of us across the world to incorporate green living into our lives as we need to repair and save our Earth. The future, at times, looks bleak. We need to pull it altogether and show we care. Green is definitely a mutual connection for all of us.

It has been difficult to watch the demise of industry & its jobs here in Ontario as many people have steadily relied on such work for a very long time. The same holds true across the world. Green collar work gives many a new opportunity and while providing income, also educates the green collar worker about all the right things needed to be done in order to be green.

In Toronto, a small but powerful company called Village Technologies is currently making strides in the green world. With a recent trip to Pennsylvannia to visit City & State Officials to discuss greening up 900 abandoned homes and solar hot water heating systems for their pools, Village Technologies knows its stuff when it comes to saving on energy bills, and greening up your buildings. VT is also currently working on a number of co-op housing sites and other community related green projects. ARKAngel is a proud supporter of Village Technologies, who has the honour of being official bloggers for Green Living Magazine. Its Canadian & its fabulous. Click here for VT's blog called, "The Village Green". You can also find Village Technologies on Twitter under VillageTech.

ARKAngel will be creating a new series of Green Body Paintings, so be sure to check back often to see if the pics have been posted yet. If you are interested in learning more about green, or if your organization wishes to create positive partnerships in green & environmental promotion, please contact ARKAngel on her contact sheet.
