PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- As foundations cut back on their funding and private donors are forced to rethink their charitable giving, The Philadelphia Committee to End Homelessness (PCEH) continues to offer support to homeless families and individuals thanks, in part, to proceeds from its holiday card sales.

"Our holiday cards give us the opportunity to engage individuals and local businesses in helping the homeless. We're so encouraged by their support," says Phyllis Ryan Jackson, PCEH's Executive Director.

PCEH was formed in 1982 by a group of concerned citizens who walked the streets of Philadelphia, asking those living there what they needed. Their answers, a place to shower and change clothes, to receive mail and peer counseling, to make phone calls, a place where they would be treated with respect, led to the creation of 802 North Broad, PCEH's day center for homeless individuals.

From the start, the organization has been privately funded and has relied heavily on the generosity of individual donors. In an attempt to bring in its own revenue, PCEH began selling holiday cards.

Homeless men and women from the day center helped to send out advertising brochures to over 3,000 people. Clients were given the option of customizing their greeting, choosing their color of ink and adding their logo. Board members sold packs of cards in shopping malls.

In a few years, large firms were ordering up to 7,000 cards, and PCEH was earning up to $200,000 from their sales, one third of its annual budget.

Ms. Ryan Jackson and a Jesuit Volunteer managed the printing and mailing of hundreds of thousands of cards each year, but the process became too time consuming. This year, PCEH has enlisted the help of Today's Graphics Inc. to set up an online storefront so that customers can choose their greeting and ink colors with a press of the button and view the layout immediately. Bella Vista Graphics continues to print the envelopes.

"Thanks to our new online storefront, we are able to focus more on helping homeless families and individuals while still bringing in much-needed revenue during the holiday season," says Ms. Ryan Jackson.

Over the years, twelve local artists have contributed scenes. This year, PCEH is offering original scenes from Tracey Landmann and Jim McFarlane, the president of The Philadelphia Watercolor Society. The cards showcase the quiet beauty of the more rural sections of Philadelphia.

In 2005, PCEH invested all of its savings in the creation of SafeHome Philadelphia, a Housing First initiative focused on helping homeless and at-risk families to create stable homes. Since then, SafeHome has housed over 100 families and kept over 200 children from entering shelter while achieving 85% success rates. With no money to fall back on in case of dips in donor and foundation giving, the card sales became even more important.

"While the city spends $35,000 a year to keep a family in shelter, we spend $4,000 once to provide them with a safe, affordable home," says Ms. Ryan Jackson. "Many local businesses provide homes for one or more families through their holiday card orders."

In spite of the rising popularity of e-cards, staff at PCEH have been encouraged by recent large orders.

"It's a wonderful thing and people recognize that," says Ruth Holland, SafeHome's Housing Advocate. "By sending holiday cards, local businesses are able to help families and individuals in need."

About The Philadelphia Committee to End Homelessness

PCEH is a 501c3 nonprofit located at 802 North Broad Street. Since 1982, PCEH has offered support to those living on the streets through its outreach services and day center. In 2005, PCEH created SafeHome Philadelphia, a Housing First initiative focused on helping homeless and at-risk families to create stable homes. PCEH is privately funded.

About SafeHome

Since its inception in 2005, SafeHome has helped over 100 families, including over 200 children, move from shelters, condemned houses, abandoned buildings, and other unsafe living conditions into safe, affordable homes. Once families are housed, SafeHome visits once every two weeks for the first six months, connecting families to community-based social services and helping them to build stability. In addition to providing families with homes, SafeHome provides furniture and household supplies. SafeHome was recently named a model practice for the Obama Administration's Homelessness Prevention and Rapid ReHousing Program by the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

MANILA, Philippines, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- True Green Energy Group, through Spectrum Blue Steel, and the Biosphere MKV power plant have been cultivating the recovery of garbage and in landfills on a global scale. The Biosphere process of gasification harnesses the combustibility of solid wastes to create a heat source that produces an extremely hot steam that will then generate green electricity.

The Spectrum Blue Steel solutions and technologies allow communities to enhance their sustainability level by turning their waste streams into reusable and valuable resources without polluting the planet with harmful carbon emissions.

Job sectors for True Green Energy Group include waste to energy, solar and wind energy, bio fuels, hydrogen energy and fuel cells, geothermal energy, hydro energy, green building, climate study, energy management and efficiency, and much more. Various jobs within each sector are available such as engineering and technical positions, project management, R&D and sales/marketing.

Today, the President of True Green Energy Group, Mr. John Lamb, along with the founder of Spectrum Blue Steel Ronald Flynn, announced Spectrum Blue Steel's newest partner Mr. Eugene B Jones, who is the Executive Director for Southern Waste Information exchange, Inc. (SWIX), which is a non-profit clearinghouse and repository for businesses and government agencies in the USA.

The Southern Waste Information exchange, Inc. (SWIX), has as a primary objective for recycling and reuse of solid and hazardous waste. Since its inception in 1981, the emphasis of the SWIX has been on encouraging and facilitating sound environmental and cost-effective alternatives to land filling, incineration or treatment of solid waste through direct interaction with waste generators in both the public and private sectors.

Recycled products can be confusing because there is no standard definition of a "Recycled" product. Neither is there a nationally accepted standard for the percentage of recycled materials in these products. As a result, recycled content claims are confusing to consumers and businesses. The goal is to have products manufactured with as much postconsumer recycled materials as possible. In other words, Spectrum Blue Steel will now set the standard and price with clarity and definition, exposing all the benefits of going green and staying clean.

The direct financial benefit from True Green Energy's MRF system is the biosphere waste to energy system that will transfigure and modernize green electricity on the power grid in addition to lowering the price of electricity without producing any harmful hazardous carbons.

Spectrum Blue Steel recently paid for and finished a complete EIA study that was completed by accredited EIA consultants set forth by the department administrative order No.30 series of 2003 for the examination of identified relevant environmental technical experts, agencies and the public in order for the Environmental Management Bureau and other involved agencies of the Philippines to make reasonable and sound decisions for the deployment of the Biosphere MKV and the Material Recycling Facility.

The MRF system reduced operating costs because the garbage is free and unencumbered from debt. Furthermore the cost of electricity created by Spectrum is inexpensive because the material it needs to operate it is free, green and clean. The reality is the most costly part of Spectrum's business is the initial investment of purchasing the Biosphere machine. On the other hand, once the machine goes into operation the only overhead to consider is paying your staff because everything else is free along with a 5 year free tax holiday celebration.

The truth is planet earth is polluted with garbage in epic proportions. The titanic overload of garbage floating and polluting the ocean is incredibly monstrous. The good news for Spectrum Blue Steel is the world in general is suffering from a never ending supply of free garbage that will power the Biosphere system for centuries to come. Also bearing in mind besides the environmental benefits made possible by having the material diverted from landfills and or incinerators through the MRF recycling, use, and reuse center and the Biosphere MKV process, the system creates thousands of gallons of clean drinking water on a daily basis making it a practical and necessary in today's go green world.

Eugene B Jones will assist Spectrum Blue Steel's businesses and help us communicate with American municipalities with waste management issues. Mr. Jones has worked with local, state, and federal agencies, legislative and congressional committee staff, trade associations, and with industries regulated under RCRA, CERCLA, and OSHA. His experience is an invaluable commodity to SBS and is essential for locking down government contracts and deploying Biosphere systems in America.

Mr. Jones has a vast experience in organizing and managing various conferences for agencies and organizations such as the Waste-to-Fuels Conferences, Florida Bio fuels Association, Inc., Recycle Florida Today, Inc., the Florida Brownfield's Association, Inc., the Florida Environmental Assessors Association, Inc., the Florida Hospital Association, Inc., the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, the Florida Department of Education, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, the International Society of Technical & Environmental Professionals, Inc., the National Conference on Waste Exchange and Resource Reuse, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Ronald Flynn ended the press announcement by saying, "The cost of energy is so much more than it should be and Spectrum Blue Steel is helping countries and governments do what they should have done years ago, and that's to go green and stay clean. Until we learn how to live without an environment, we're going to have to keep this issue at the forefront."

Shaping the new world is not easy and the Stewardship of the earth is a component of many Christian denominations. God's green earth will survive as long as we all chip in and do our part. What many may not know is that planet earth needs our help and what we do may have a significant impact--positive or negative--on the environment if the world does not respond and go green.

Spectrum Blue Steel's strategy is to "de-carbonize" the electric power generation industry by shifting to non-fossil fuel based energy sources, specifically energy-from-waste. This follows the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which confirmed energy-from-waste is renewable, and the Philippine Renewable Energy Law (RA 9513) of the Philippines.

Spectrum is a domestic corporation duly registered under the laws of the Philippines and holds a license to the Biosphere Technology from Global Environmental Energy Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: GEECF). Global is a fully integrated energy company whose interests include electrical power generation, oil and gas exploration and production, clean coal and waste management technologies.

This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of the 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbor created by those sections.
