Going to preach a little GREEN

Little post.

This weekend i have been invited to show off my car and talk green at Elm Tree Elementary in Bentonville AR ( where i live ). The event is called "Welcome back Wildcats". They asked me because of my unusual car and why i chose to drive it. While I'm there i am sure that i will get asked a lot of things about going green. This is not an open event but only for the new students, family and faculty of this school. I'll be there from 10:00am till 1:00pm. I am hoping to get people to think about a greener way of life. I will be writing about it after i get back.

Going Green. It's the little things that work.

The electric car that I purchised is made by Global Electric Moters and cost a lot to go green. But there are a lot of things that you do in your day to day life.

The first and quickest thing to do is switch to CFL bulbs. They use a lot less elericity then the old style bulbs. (sorry Edison). I did it over a few months. When we move into this house. I started to replace the old bulbs with CFLs as they went out. There good for your eletric bill too.

Second thing on your list of to do's is... STOP BUYING BOTTLED WATER!! Whoa. Sorry about that i cant stand bottled water at stores and in vending machines. First of all all the packeging to hold something so simple is a BIG WASTE. Then there is the transportation cost to get it to the store then your home. This is very wastefull as well. Almost all the water in those silly bottles is the same as what comes out of your tap at home. And you just paid $1.99 for a bottle an some almost free H2O. Then if you get it out of a vending machines. So now you just had some water from someone elses tap put in a bottle shiped on a big truck to a warehouse then shiped to an office put in a big fridge that uses more electricity to stay at (not so) cold temps. Instead by a reusable water bottle and fill it up instead!

Third >>> Recycle Recycle Recycle. Most trash companies will pick up your recyclables for you. If not then find the closest recycling post and become great friends with them 3 or 4 times a month. Even better if you can get MONEY for your aluminium and glass the trip would be a little better every time.

This will get you started. But there are many, many more things. Like using bycicle more and use a laptop instead of a desktop (i will talk more about this later)

Welcome to all!

Hello and welcome to my Blog. I am starting this Blog because I am really starting to go green and I want to help others do he same. I have recently made some big life changing, changes recently. But you don't have to go as big as i did just to go green.

With this Blog I hope to bring some of the coolest GREEN things from around the inter-tubes to one central spot. Most of them will be future tech that will help our kids be really green but a lot of it will be simple and affordable things you can do to on your own.

My hope that if you read this then you will start to think green and help us ALL THINK GREEN!!!
