Some simple ideas of what you can do to reduce the carbon impact of caring for your baby.

Theres a common cliche line that goes “If you want big rewards, you gotta take big risks”. To some extent this is true, but if your big risk is setting a date to be completely fossil fuel free you better be ready to back that up. This is the case with Merecedes recent statement that they would like to make their production line a fossil fuel free line by 2015.

Okay so there really isn’t anything left to be said for this guy, but I’m gonna do it again in hopes that other musicians will catch on and I will have more to talk about.

From littering to SUVs, what are your eco pet peeves?

So remember way back when, when I was talking about the 350.org campaign? Well heres a quick little update as to how the campaign has progressed.

Okay so they aren’t fully here, but get ready cause they’re coming. It’s only day old news but already this is a well known story, the Honda Fuel Cell is making its way to North America. There has been allot of buzz surrounding the BMW hydrogen fuel cell car, but once again I believe Honda will be ahead of the curve.

The amount of environmental websites seems to be growing by the day, but sometimes it is still hard to find a reliable and accurate source. Living green these days is the best way, so where can you go to get some quality information?

Theres no doubt that San Francisco, if not all of California, is ahead of the curve with regards to environmentalism. All things green are coming out of there, but there is definitely some great steps made from all over the world. So we can’t give all the credit to California, but this next one is a beauty.

There is allot of debate to the ecological footprint of having children and the large difference of footprints between children of different countries. Personally I don’t have a stance on this issue right now because children are just not on the radar screen right now, but I know how that can quickly change as one becomes older. Here’s quick little article that sorta hits on what I am talking about.
