Why include a VIDEO in your profile? Here are some compelling statistics from a recent study: Websites featuring video have an 11,000-to-1 chance of making it onto the first page of Google search results. Websites featuring only text have about a 500,000-to-1 chance of appearing on the first page of results. In other words, on the keywords for which Google offers video results, any given video stands about a 50 times better chance of appearing on the first page of results than any given text page that Google has indexed.

Greening the Grid!
Is Viridian Green Energy an Electricity Provider in Your State Yet?
Are You Still Paying Retail for Your Electricity?
Read the article & get the details

The Natural Lifestyle Network® has chosen to promote and support Viridian Energy. Here's why. When energy utilities are deregulated, the field is open for approved third party providers to play a role and offer greener, less expensive options. And when a socially responsible, greener option like Viridian is available, and it costs nothing to switch, requires no contract or credit check and can be cancelled at any time--plus your regular utility company will continue to provide your service, it just makes sense to switch. Viridian offers both a 20% "Everyday Green" and a 100% "Pure Green" choice. Either way, you're reducing your carbon footprint, supporting the environment and saving money--and it's easy to switch. On average, Viridian has been 15% lower over the past year in its markets. Check out the Viridian website.
