Choice is good, right? Of course; as long as you've got all of the information, or at least a starting point to start drawing some conclusion of your own.

Among the goals outlined in the article is creating buildings that are 'independent', that don't rely solely on the power grid for heat and for water. Thus, windpower, solar energy, and the efficient use of rain harvesting technology are being looked at as viable supplements to providing these basic requirements. And in terms of the grid, the goal of zero net energy is also looking like a common goal.
Recently, one of our employees Stanica ‘Seka’ Golijanin gave birth to beautiful twins - Ana and Marko. Both are doing well, and so is Seka.
At the same time, we also got word of Seka’s husband Nebojsa who has been battling the critical illness; he has a brain tumor. He has been undergoing repeated chemo and drug treatments.
Sadly, his diagnosis is grim.
The treatments are extremely expensive at $5000 per treatment and the family has had to come up with this all on their own as the treatments don’t fall under medical coverage.
So, we need your help.
We’ve got the PayPal account set up for accepting donations for Seka’s family. Directions are below on how to send gifts via PayPal.
