All I Want For Christmas

My birthday is exactly 2 weeks after Thanksgiving , 2 weeks before Christmas, and sometimes in the middle of Hanukkah, so I have always loved this time of year. When I was young, this time of year was filled with lots of good food, lots of good parties, and double the amount of presents. Now that I'm an old man(LOL),I still party and eat too much, but the presents have dried up over the years. So to indulge the inner boy in me, I have compiled a wish list I would like to give to Santa. I have been good all year(seriously I have!),and these gifts will not only benefit me, but help combat climate change and promote sustainability(Seriously They Will!)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRE-FABRICATED SUSTAINABLE HOME
21st Century home builders can design thier homes using computer programs that take residential customisation to the next level. Using sustainable materials and constructing offsite in a warehouse cuts down on waist and on site environmental pollution. The planning and land prep may be long and expensive, but building and living in the ultimate sustainable toy makes will make me the coolest kid in the neighborhood.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TESLA ROADSTER
This car feeds the environmentalist's need for speed guilt free.The Tesla Roadster is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car produced by the electric car firm Tesla Motors in California. The Roadster was the first highway-capable all-electric vehicle in serial production available in the United States. According to the U.S. EPA, the Roadster can travel 244 miles (393 km) on a single charge[12] of its lithium-ion battery pack, and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 3.9 seconds. The Chassis is a Lotus Elise glider and Tesla's contract for 2,500 of them expired in September. A new Roadster is in the works for 2014, so in the meantime I will just have to mash around town in the funnest collector item on the street.------------------ SOLAR HOT WATER TANK
Hot water is such a luxury!!! Residential solar tanks allow you to take responsibility and enjoy the benefits of hot water at the same time. They also can be retrofitted to existing homes relatively easy. Rubber duckies and bubble bath not included.----- RESIDENTIAL WIND TURBINE
Modern alloy materials and compact design makes today's home wind turbines lighter in weight, quieter, and more energy efficient. Their initial cost is quickly recouped, and can help people diversify their homes energy and lessen its carbon footprint.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESIDENTIAL HEAT PUMP
Ditto on everything I said about the wind turbine.----------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAIL BOAT
A few years ago I borrowed a sail boat to take out this woman I was trying to empress. A coworker of mine gave me a crash course in sailing and the use of his boat. The chick eventually dumped me but my passion for sailing has flourished. Racing across the water using the power of mother nature is the ultimate sustainable high.--------------------------------------------- SOLAR WATCH
These modern sun dials have been updated with technology that allows you look like your wearing a watch on your wrist, not a solar panel. Typically, sunlight and artificial light are absorbed by a solar panel behind the crystal. The dial is either on a layer above or actually on the solar panel. This solar panel converts the light into electrical energy to power the watch. The watch will usually store energy in a rechargeable cell to power itself during the night or when covered such as by a person's sleeve. No more batteries to fill landfills or twisting knobs too small for my fingers.
