The Great Smog of 1952

Historical Importance: When a thick fog engulfed London from December 5 to December 9, 1952, it mixed with black smoke emitted from homes and factories to create a deadly smog. This smog killed approximately 12,000 people and shocked the world into starting the environmental movement.
Dates: December 5-9, 1952
Also Known As: The Big Smoke
 Overview of the Great Smog of 1952:
When a severe cold spell hit London in early December 1952, Londoners did what they usually did in such a situation; they burned more coal to heat up their homes. Then on December 5, 1952, a layer of dense fog engulfed the city and stayed for five days.

Go Green latest News



Smoke Tech, a Guelph-based company, has been performing mobilized emissions tests on personal and heavy duty vehicles using the most up-to-date and current e-test that has only been on the market since 2013. That means if your test comes back with good results, you’re guaranteed to drive away with your personal or heavy duty vehicle knowing it meets all of the requirements of Ontario’s Drive Clean Program.
This company is not my competition in Las Vegas, but is good to keep up with the other companies in this field. The future plans are to move Go Green Mobile to others state when we are successful in Las Vegas.

Competition in Las Vegas

Go Green Mobile Emission Service faces over 40 emissions testing service competitors in the local market. Among these competitors, only a few are major national chains. The remainder of our competitors are small, privately-owned establishments.

Go Green Mobile Emission is looking to secure a contract with the local casinos and businesses in the area to bring the service to their employees on the job sites. And will work out a deal to also do the customers that go play at the casinos. Go Green is going to rock the Las Vegas market. Go Green!

Facebook Privacy

Image taken from Google Images.
It is surprising that you think your information is private on Facebook, but if you don’t set the privacy setting a lot of people can get your information. Parents who don’t make sure their kid’s privacy settings are turned on, are just setting their kids up to get some crazy person trying to do something bad to them. But, now that I sit here, I think that some parents don’t know how to get around on the computer or some of these websites. The information age is way over the heads of many parents. 

I have never thought about Facebook professionally in the past, but I will make sure my Facebook page stays on the professional side. I went out there after class the other day and took a look at some of the things my friends and family are putting out there and it’s time to block some of the people I don’t need to know. If the companies go out there and see the things your friends and family are doing or talking about, you may lose a job or big contract with a company because of the dumb things they do.

The changes I will make on Facebook are the people who I’m friends with, but it’s the family members I need to block more than the friends. The family are the ones who are doing and saying the dumbest things on Facebook. Sometimes you just want to have their heads x-rayed to see if there is something in there. But, that would cost too much money, so I can always block them right?

How important is clean air to you? If the vehicles on the road keep putting out bad emissions, there will be no clean air for your kids and grandkids in the future.

Go Green is going to Tweet, Tweet

Geetings everyone! Go Green is now on Twitter. We are excited for this new adventure. It will be a learning curve, but we'll manage. We hope to use the platform for tweeting new, information, updates on government regulations, and a few laughs. So log on to Twitter and follow us at @ggmet6.

To interact on Twitter, we've learned the EEI Strategy - Engage, Entertain, and Inform.

Here is an example of an Engage tweet:

  1. Engage--Have you ever had your car tested because of the check engine light? Why?
  2. Entertain--How long has Penny from had her check engine light on?
  3. Inform--Did you know that vehicles newer than 1996 registered in certain Wisconsin counties must undergo emissions testing when at time of renewal.

We'll Come to You!


Go Green Mobile Emission Service is a start-up organization that offers mobile emission service for individuals who don’t have the time to go to a traditional emissions location. Single parents, businessmen who work long hours, and individuals who work multiple jobs often have limited time available to take care of time-consuming tasks such as vehicle emissions testing. As a required annual test to renew vehicle registration, drivers in Clark County must find the time to accomplish this mundane responsibility. Drivers can spend anywhere from one to three hours to get an emissions test when including drive time and waiting time. Go Green Mobile Emission Service will serve the Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada areas by providing the necessary services to these individuals at convenient locations like their office or home, and charge a small premium for the time savings.
