My goodness, I love Flagstaff. The location, the people, the brewery, the closeness to everything Grand.
Here’s another reason. The Arizona Republic reports:
More than 265 teenagers from 44 U.S. states and nine Canadian provinces will meet at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff from Monday to Aug. 3 to participate as finalists in North America’s largest high-school […]

I’m not saying that AAA hasn’t served us well. We were frequent visitors at their offices throughout our two year road trip and always walked away with resources we could use.
BUT, had we known about the Better World Club, we may have signed up with them instead. What’s the difference? The Better World Club is […]

I can’t say I am a huge Dave Matthews fan, but Alicia from Mental Health Notes is and I have her to thank for this green piece of info:
Her favorite band is partnering with PickupPal to help fans find and share rides to and from all of their concerts for this summer’s tour. How cool […]

Your opinion of me just might change by the end of this post.
Nothing major. It will probably go from, “hmmm, that Gab is a little odd” to “man, that Gab is really odd.” I can live with that.
Here’s my confession: I sleep better at night with a Go Bag by my door and a car […]

Dancing rocks. Great exercise for your body. Good for my soul. But Dance clubs are hardly the places I think of when I hear the term, “eco-friendly.” Blaring music, high tech effects, flashing lights - that’s gotta add up to a (great time but) huge carbon footprint, right?
Not necessarily.
Clubs in London and San Francisco are […]

So, let’s just say you are at the beach visiting friends, family, parents, whomever. And your hosts are great. Happy to see you. You’re happy to see them…But after a day or two you realize that the things you do at home to conserve energy and water and other resources aren’t things that happen at […]

How timely!
An article in today’s New York Times actually adds stats and graphs to support the argument that escalating gas prices are doing more to enhance usage of public transportation and reduce traffic and pollution than policies:
“We’re at the point where people really are changing habits,” said Sam Schwartz, a transportation consultant. He said that […]

Wait, wait. Before you bean me over the head with your pocketbook (which probably won’t hurt that much since it is so much lighter these days), let’s think about it.
Sure, gas priced above $4 a gallon broke some pumps here in Pennsylvania, but if something’s not broke, we usually don’t fix it. Maybe more expensive […]

Going green is the last thing most newlyweds must be thinking about on their honeymoon night. Right? Not so says the New York Times.
They report that there is a growing trend towards low-impact, environmentally-friendly, post-nuptial celebration. [Enter marriage consummation joke here.]
What ways are people making their honeymoon more green? Some are doing it via […]

Today the New York Times reported that United States Sugar, the nation’s largest sugarcane producer, has agreed to sell 187,000 acres north of Everglades National Park to the state of Florida for $1.75 billion.
This news is so good in so many ways.
The Everglades have long been considered America’s most endangered national park because decades of […]
