The Vermont Green Home & Living Show coming this weekend (Feb 17th-19th at the CV Expo in Essex) is one of my favorite places to check out the latest technologies and innovations in northern Vermont. The traditional log home and timber frame builders will be there there as usual.  Hopefully I will see another photographer Rick Libbey, aka “The Mooseman” who has an amazing collection of photography, inclduing moose (of course), wild bear and loons to name a few, all found in their native habitat.

Last year we enjoyed some local businesses including yours truly, the EHS Environmental Club, Sales Rep Jim Johnson with a Toyota Prius, Bob Clark and the crew from Efficiency Vermont and Ken Torino, the Pocket Socket inventor.

As always, the value in attending always surpasses my expectations because the ideas we get from each other outweigh whatever goods or services we sell.  A new friend, local engineer Ken Torino exhibited at the show and had one of the most exciting inventions I have seen in a long time, known as the Pocket Socket. The Pocket Socket is an ergonomic hand-held charger. You’ve got to see this. I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of it in the future!
