Refrigerant 22 On the Way Out

By Daniel Stouffer

Refrigerant 22, widely used in numerous industrial applications, is being phased out. As the government mandated phaseout continues, those facilities that have equipment using this chemical are rushing to impose measures that enable them to meet the requirements of the law.

Numerous substances suspected of causing great harm to our climate, the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming. Refrigerant 22 has been on the list of substances to phase out, since the Montral protocol and US Clean Air Act moved to eliminate hydrochlorofluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons found in various refrigeration and cooling systems. Other countries are following suit.

Refrigerant 22 is a known hydrochlorofluorocarbon found in commercial refrigeration units, as well as air-conditioning systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. This equipment is in operation throughout numerous industries, including retail supermarkets, hotels and restaurants, hospitals, office buildings, food processing warehouses and manufacturers, just to name a few.

Refrigerant 22 causes damage to the environment when it is released, for example during a leak. The EPA now requires companies and municipalities to track usage and submit regular reports to better manage the use of this gas. As this can be a very time-consuming process, companies are turning to software that will automatically track and issue reports to comply with the regulations. Companies are wary of a penalty fee structure waiting for those who fail to comply.

Refrigerant 22 will no longer be made or used in new equipment shortly and eco-friendly refrigerants are being developed to serve as alternatives. Those companies with equipment that still use the refrigerant are not required to go out and buy a new system, but they are required to follow very strict guidelines as to the procedure for routine maintenance and repair.

Chemical manufacturers have up until January 1, 2020 to produce Refrigerant 22 for existing systems. Following that date the substance can no longer be manufactured. Only refrigerant that has been recovered and recycled may then be used in existing systems.

The history of refrigerant 22 as a greenhouse gas goes back over 40 years. Some natural greenhouse gases stabilize the Earth's temperature but man-made chemicals such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons can actually increase global average temperatures. Should no action be taken the makeup of the planet would change and cause major devastation.

There are number of alternatives to Refrigerant 22. These include R-410A, R404A and R407c, some of which are already in use in new refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, and found to be more energy efficient. The EPA specifies approved alternatives and facility managers can check with them for information. - 15790

Home Based Business Opportunity- Being Free to Be Me

By Eric M. P.

As I stirred out of bed today I felt a pounding headache that I knew was really going to aggravate me today. It wasn't the kind of headache that you might have after a night of drinking but the kind you would have after sleeping in a funny way all night. This particualr headache was so severe that I started to think about just taking the day off and calling in to work.

Calling in to work should be simple enough. All I have to do is make sure I talk to my supervisor and everything should work out okay. But even if it doesn't I feel that I need a "me" day any way and the folks at the job will just have to deal with it.

It is times like these that I wish I owned my own home based business. I wish owned and ran a system of doing things that made me money; much like fast food restaurants own systems of serving food fast. That, I feel, is the way it should be done. I still should be able to make a few bucks even if I dont go in today.

Sometimes I feel like being a lazy guy and calling in for the week. Im sure my boss wouldnt have a problem with that. If only I had my own home based business then I could do thatwell sort of.

Well honestly I have a confession to make. I do own my own home based business and the boss I was referring to was myself. I wrote this as an illustration on how things could be drastically different if a person owned their own business. They wouldn't have to sweat over things like calling in to work because they were their own boss.

I have vowed to never have to ask another person how and when and where I spend my time because the fact is it is my time.

The best way to have total control of your life is to take control of it. I dont want to be a co-owner of a timeshare called my own time and you shouldnt either. Stop renting your life to the lowest bidder and go out here and grab what you want - 15790

Get Your Investment Loss Cash Flow Back

By James Montgomery

Due to their investment loss, John and Mary, our 58 year old friends, are in a state of panic over their retirement plans. Instead of having over $50,000 a year annual income, the drop in interest rates and 401K loss, leaves them with barely $16,000 in annual income.

They realize that they no longer have the time to use the traditional approach to save or invest to build up a cash fund that then is invested at 7 to 10% to give them income to live on. They won't live long enough to save enough and they want to retire in the next couple of years, not ten years from now. They need cash flow to live on now.

They have been advised to look into starting a business to create monthly income.. They do not want to work full time. They do not want a business that only makes money when they are working. They want to retire not go back to work for another 10 years. They don't have much money to use for a business due to their investment losses.

They need a business that will work for them even when they are sleeping. They need a business that will allow them to travel and spend their time the way they want. They want the financial freedom that their investment loss has taken away from them.

As J. Paul Getty, one of the first billionaires said, a product that goes up the smokestack, down the stomach, or down the drain. It gets used up, so the buyer needs to buy more. John and Mary want a business with a product that gets consumed and re-ordered.

They want a business that allows them to earn not only from their own sales, but also from the sales of others. As Mr. Getty said, they want 1% of the efforts of 100 people rather than 100% of their own efforts.

They don't really like to sell, so they want a business where buyers can educate themselves on a product and make a selection with either John or Mary selling them anything. Their example is buying toothpaste. You make your own selection at the store and no salesperson gets involved.

They also want to have a business that they can operate from anywhere in the world, perhaps over the internet, with just a phone and a computer.

They are not alone in suffering from investment loss and would like to be able to be successful themselves and then be able to recommend to others that they take a look at a tried and tested business plan. They want to be able to share something good, just like they would with a good movie or good restaurant, but also get paid for making the recommendation.

Most importantly, they want that tried and tested business plan. They do not want to invent the business or do a start-up. If they could just become members of an established business and pass on the details, that would work perfect for them.

John and Mary are desperate for a solution. They must do something different to make up for the investment loss they have suffered. Many, many baby boomers are now in the same predicament and look for step by step instructions on how to succeed in generating that cash flow. Instead of growing an investment fund that makes money, they need a business that spins off the same cash flow month after month. It is a different concept but one which has the same result, monthly cash flow. - 15790

Data entry at home

By Renals Grotard

Co-author: Drywall Hoist. If you want an independent easy job like data entry at home, there are a few things you need to know before starting this freelance activity. There are all sorts of data entry requirements, some more sophisticated than others: the most common of them involve filling forms or copy-pasting a text or an ad in various locations either on the web or between documents. No matter the situation, data entry is not only easy, but also repetitive. And since one doesn't make much efforts for such tasks, the payment is rather modest too: the position would earn one some $10 or $15 per hour in the best of cases, therefore, don't believe the phony promises of hundreds of dollars per day.

Not everybody qualifies for data entry at home; lots of peoplewould feel miserable the repetitive and rather boring tasks involved in the job. However, others may be totally satisfied by the undemanding nature of the activity. Thanks to the development of the Internet, there is another dimension to data entry work.

Presently, there is a growing trend online to use click banks for the advertising of data entry programs. Some smart guys have come up with data entry programs as very profitable ways to make money by convincing people of how financially rewarding data entry at home is. And such secrets seem to be available only in exchange for a payment!

The data entry at home details that is available in such programs actually consists of all sorts of materials and e-books that show you the steps to take in order to improve the use of Adwords programs or teach one how to advertise for affiliate products from Click Bank.

The truth is that most such programs are misleading because they don't really show one how to use products but urge one into selling something. Hence, the experts warn Internet users not to pay a cent for data entry at home materials; all opportunities and positions should be free if they have any degree of reliability at all.

The fact that there are all sorts of frauds carried online doesn't mean that you won't find good data entry at home jobs with serious companies. You can either apply for such positions locally, you can try web master forums or sites like Craig's List or www.rentacoder.com. The important thing is to use your common sense and not your greed for money when searching for such a job, and it will be less difficult to encounter the right home job for you. - 15790
