HomeBiogas- turn Your Waste into Energy

HomeBiogas is a family-sized affordable biogas system. It converts any organic waste into clean cooking gas and a high quality liquid fertilizer for the garden. Your kitchen leftovers can turn into 3 hours of cooking per day. You’ll be cooking dinner with the gas produced from lunch’s leftovers. Pretty amazing, right?

HomeBiogas maintains a closed-loop eco-cycle: organic waste turns into energy and a liquid fertilizer byproduct which enables us to produce more food thus maintaining the critical cycle of life. Know exactly where your energy is coming from and where it’s going.

Many of us have tried to reduce the damage being done to our planet, but without addressing the larger issues, it often feels like a drop in the bucket.

This is a small product with a big impact.

By significantly reducing the damage caused by untreated organic waste, including air pollution, water contamination and the use of fossil fuels for energy, HomeBiogas systems respond to some of our most pressing environmental challenges today.

Our vision is to make our biogas system accessible and affordable for everyone. 

Join us and help pave the way for sustainable waste management. We’re in this for the long run.

CNBC’s “Ground Zero Rising: Freedom vs. Fear” Premieres on Thursday, September 1st at 10pm ET

Monday, 29 Aug 2016 | 12:09 PM ETCNBC.com

ONE-HOUR ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY REPORTED BY CNBC'S JIM CRAMER

CNBC ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY GIVES AN UNPRECEDENTED LOOK INSIDE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., August 29, 2016 – As the fifteenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the World Trade Center has emerged as a place reborn. It is the sacred ground where more than 2600 people lost their lives, and now something more: a vibrant public, commercial and retail space that stands as proof of American tenacity and resilience.

On Thursday, September 1st at 10pm ET/PT, CNBC presents "Ground Zero Rising: Freedom vs. Fear," a one-hour documentary reported by anchor Jim Cramer that tells the story of the revitalization of the 16-acre site complete with solemn memorial pools, a new park, an architecturally striking transit hub, and new office towers.

Taking more than six years and nearly $4 billion to complete, One World Trade Center is the most expensive skyscraper in the world. Two years after opening, 70 percent of the building is leased, though some prospective tenants have balked at the idea of moving to the site of the 9/11 attack. Chris Altchek and Jake Horowitz, founders of the digital media company Mic, tell CNBC what they had to do to address the concerns of some employees over the company's decision to relocate to One World Trade. Altchek says the building is, "a monument. Being in a place that inspires you every day…reminds you why you do what you do is important." Cramer also sits down with David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, who says working at Ground Zero every day is a source of pride for his staff.

Rebuilding the full World Trade Center site has taken some 14-16 billion dollars in public funds and billions more in private investment. The Oculus, the World Trade Center's recently opened transportation hub, serves a quarter of a million riders every day but critics point to its $4 billion sticker price as a sign of reckless spending. Real estate tycoon Larry Silverstein has built two major towers at the site and has a third under construction. When asked if his investment in the new buildings is worth it, he tells Cramer, "From an economic standpoint, honestly, I don't know." But, he says, from a New Yorker's vantage point, it is "eminently worth it."

Standing at 1776 feet, One World Trade Center is the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. Built with cutting-edge security features designed to thwart an attack, it may be not only a shield, but a target as well. It is touted as perhaps the safest building in the world, though some counter-terrorism experts say its elaborate fortification, including a strong concrete core, may be a defense against the wrong threat. Former FBI Special Agent Don Borelli tells Cramer today's "lone wolf" terrorists present the biggest current danger and make security concerns at the World Trade Center only more pressing. Borelli says there already have been "lots of credible threats" made on the building. CNBC gets a rare look inside the Operations Command Center at the complex where George Anderson, Director of Security for the World Trade Center, and his team keep watch over every square inch of the 16-acre site.

Cramer profiles Lee Ielpi, a retired New York City firefighter, who has been telling strangers his story for years as the co-founder of the 9/11 Tribute Center. Ielpi leads a group of tourists around the memorial pools at the World Trade Center and shows them one section of names etched in bronze belonging to New York Fire Department Squad 288/HazMat 1 – from which nineteen men perished, including his own son.

Cramer also tells the story of Greg Carafello, who fled from the 18th floor of the original World Trade Center's South Tower on 9/11. For many years, Carafello avoided the site at all costs, having lost his best friend in the attack. In 2015, when looking for office space for a new company, he chose an unlikely location: One World Trade Center. Now Carafello is the only tenant from the old Twin Towers to have moved into the new building. He is so committed to the site that he volunteers as a docent in the 9/11 Memorial Museum. When asked if he regrets his decision, he tells Cramer, "Not at all. I just find it the beginning of a new life for me."

Gold Rush: Swelling Numbers of CRE Brokers Making for Tougher Competition in the Ranks

Long-Running CRE Recovery Attracts Younger Brokers; Spurs Larger Firms Expand into Smaller Markets

By Mark Heschmeyer

August 24, 2016

The long-trending CRE up-cycle has created a mini-boom in broker ranks over recent years, with the larger number of younger, first-time commercial brokers reducing the median years of experience among all brokers, and also lowering average annual incomes for brokers. 

The number of commercial members with less than two years of experience nearly doubled to 9% in 2016, from 5% in 2015, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2016 Commercial Member Profile. And the median years of experience in commercial real estate dropped from 25 years to 20 years. 

The 2016 NAR Commercial Member Profile was based on a survey of 2,048 members. Approximately 80,000 commercial real estate professionals are members of NAR. 

“As the U.S. economy continues to experience strong, steady recovery, NAR has seen more and more members choose to specialize in commercial real estate,” noted NAR President Tom Salomone, broker-owner of Real Estate II Inc. in Coral Springs, FL. 

Lynn Drake, president and founder of Compass Commercial in Troy, Michigan.

Lynn Drake, president and founder of Compass Commercial in Troy, MI, has experienced the effects of the broker boom first hand. In the last few years, she said she has hired 10 new agents -- eight of them were new to the business. None of them lasted. 

“We tell the (new) agents they won’t see any money for the first six months. Then they get four months in and they say they have to leave because they aren’t making any money,” Drake said. “There seems to be a disconnect between what we tell agents to expect, and when what we tell them becomes reality.” 

The lure of bigger-dollar deals is great, however, and she said new prospects keep asking to join her firm. 

“I’ve had several residential agents approach me in the last 90 days about working for us because the inventory of for-sale homes is so low. They can’t make money in residential so they are looking to make a jump into commercial real estate,” Drake said. 

According to NAR, the median gross annual income for commercial members in 2015 was $108,800, down from $126,900 in 2014. Brokers and appraisers reported the highest annual gross income at $145,800 and $130,800 respectively while sales agents reported the lowest at $67,300, which is in line with 2014 results. 

Those with less than two years of experience reported a median annual income of $43,400 in 2015, down from $67,200 in 2014; and those with more than 26 years of experience reported a median annual income of $165,385 in 2015, up from $162,800 in 2014. 

Compass Commercial's Drake tells prospects to expect to gross between $40,000 and $60,000 in the first year. 

“That means they will take home between $20,000 and $30,000,” she said. “The upside is they should expect to double their business every year thereafter.”
