Imagine being able to take algae and turn it into a source of renewable oil. OriginOil, Inc. is developing a breakthrough technology will do just that.  Did you know that much of the world’s oil and gas is made up of ancient algae deposits? OriginOil’s technology will produce “new oil” from algae, through a cost-effective, high-speed manufacturing process. This endless supply of new oil can be used for many products such as diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, plastics and solvents without the global warming effects of petroleum.   In this episode, Georgiann is joined by Riggs Eckelberry.  One of the inventors of the Company’s breakthrough technology, Riggs Eckelberry brings his veteran technology management skills to the alternative energy sector. As President and COO of CyberDefender Corporation from 2005 to 2006, he was instrumental in building the company and its innovative product line, helping to achieve initial funding and a public company filing (CYDE.OB). This is going to be one information packed show! Don’t miss it!

Breaking Through with Georgiann - Interview with Meaghan O'Neill

Click the play button above to listen to the show!

Meet Meaghan O’Neill, editor of TreeHugger.com and PlanetGreen.com.  TreeHugger just celebrated five years and O’Neill played a key role in launching the site, which now receives about 4 million hits per month. She recently launched a book, “Ready, Set, Green: Eight Weeks to Modern Eco-Living” and has made a difference in the lives of so many TreeHugger readers.

The time to save the planet is now

readysetgreenReady? Set? Green! Living green means reversing climate change, but it also means protecting your kids and pets, improving your own health, and saving money. And it doesn’t necessarily demand a radical overhaul of your life-just some simple adjustments, such as switching to healthier cleaning products and driving fewer miles each week.

Including advice on how to properly insulate your house, cancel junk mail, and choose fruits and veggies wisely, Ready, Set, Green will help you change the future of the planet and restore balance to your daily life.

TreeHugger is the leading media outlet dedicated to driving sustainability mainstream. They are helping the masses get hooked on sustainability, and thankfully, it appears the masses are getting hooked on TreeHugger. O’Neill states: “Press notables have hailed us as “Having Balls,” dubbing us a “green CNN”, and a “Green Blog God.” Media empires like The Oprah Winfrey Show, Martha Stewart and the Sundance Channel have taken note. They have also been honored by several prestigious award ceremonies. In 2006, TreeHugger took home a Vloggie for being the “Best Green Vlog.” For three consecutive years in a row (2005, 2006, 2007) TreeHugger was nominated for a Bloggie and, within the past two years, The Webby Awards and the South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival have nominated us in various categories.
