What?
With all the talk surrounding carbon footprints lately, it might be easy to forget that there are other natural resources in short supply.
H2OConserve.com helps you calculate your water footprint. How?
The Calculator gives you an estimate of the total amount of water you use, what is called your water footprint. The Calculator takes into account not […]
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 […]
Is it on? Mine is.
Alas, much of a badass I like to think that I am, my air conditioner is running. And it probably will be a few more times this summer.
Even with the air on, my goal has been to keep our electric bill below 80 bucks a month. So far, I’ve been successful. […]
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?

“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 […]
The Governator has been busy.
Last week, former movie star and current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger officially declared that his state was in a drought and threatened to ration water to cities if conservation efforts were not increased. The New York Times reported:
The declaration comes after the driest California spring in 88 years, with runoff in […]
