Our guest was local farmer Albert
Armand. Albert, along with his wife Diane and family run
Harper Valley Farms and the Indiana Pumpkin Patch.
We had the pleasure to speak with
Albert about buying from local farmers and how you too
can purchase for a farmer from where you live to cut
down on the carbon footprint we are leaving from buying
vegetables from a supermarket. Plus this also helps to
support local farmers in your area.

If you have listened to our show you know at Your Life
Matters we care of the environment and being “green”.
Well it is time to move
over granite countertops because Solar panels and
tankless water heaters are catching on and they are the
hot must-have items in new home construction. Going
green has long been considered cost prohibitive to many
Americans wanting to build eco-friendly homes. But last
year’s record surge in energy prices is leading a lot of
consumers, architects and homebuilders to rethink the
math. The idea of opting for an environmentally
friendly, energy-efficient home isn’t only starting to
be seen as an affordable option. It’s being sold by some
architects and homebuilders in United States as one that
could end up saving homeowners hundreds of thousands of
dollars -- and even make money. To speak with us about
this fantastic change in attitude and thought is our
GUEST TODAY architect Christopher Colby who is the
Principal and
Co-Founder of Spire Architecture & Design.

We have all talked about Green Homes. It
is one of the buzz words of the day. But here is today’s
question…How much do you know about Sustainable Homes? They are
made of
materials that do no harm to, and take nothing away from, the
earth's resources. Our guest today will reveal how sustainable
living goes beyond being ecologically and financially friendly,
while saving on utility bills, and leads to a different, yet
more joyful quality of life. I hope I have your attention now as
this is so important not only for us, but for our children and
generation of children to come. The book we will talk about
today is called, “Sustainability:
A Personal Journey To A Built Sustainable Community...And An
Amazing Picture Of What Life Will Soon Be Like.”
Our guest today is an author, registered architect, professor,
educator, consultant and our guest today. It is our pleasure to
welcome Dr. Stuart W. Rose to Your Life Matters.

When most of us think about turning 70, we picture ourselves
lying on the beach, or on the golf course or for women shopping,
caring for their garden. Basically relaxing and enjoying life’s
golden years. Our next guest spent his 70th birthday
on the
slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro on his way to the top.
His preparations and the accomplishment of his dream,
highlighting the people who helped him achieve his goal, is
inspiration for us all. But does he just climb mountains? Nope.
He who traveled the world to bring
back vines to create a wine industry in the North Carolina high
country. He established the first commercial winery in this
region of the Appalachians. Thirty-five vineyards owe their
genesis to his work. And I am not done yet. He is a scientist
and has been working on creating what he calls “Super Clean”
coal called carbonite. Today we are going to talk about the book
“Climbing Kilimanjaro at 70” and this breakthrough technology of
carbonite. Please welcome to Your Life Matters an author, a man
who earned his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering at the University of
Cincinnati, works with the U.S. Department of Energy and holds a
patent to remove mercury pollutants from coal Dr. Richard A.
Wolfe.
