On Being Green (Hulk Style)
On this Earth Day I’d like to ask a question. How green are you?
When was the last time you celebrated earth day! Yes, i’m pointing at you, who just got your cloth bag from whole foods and now want me to be a flip flop hippy freak. Put your cloth bag down and save the planet by inventing a better engine to stop clogging my lungs with smog from the bus i’m behind. Design something better than a BIGGER airplane that carries WAY too much people. How about a company that will stop shipping me large boxes for small stuff, or put strobe lights on Mountain is
Admittedly, i am ranting at the green, suddenly gas friendly, better air quality freaks out there now that someone has realized how to make money from it. We should have been saving the plant years ago, not just because gas is now $3.50 a gallon.
While watching TV, I saw a commercial with the current speaker of the house at the time of this writing, Nancy Pelosi (D) and a past speaker of the house, Newt Gringrich (R). They implored me to contact my leaders to help combat climate change and work on developing cleaner forms of energy.
WTF?!
Stop asking me if i’m green and just BE green!
[Update] Glad I’m not the only one who see’s this ploy.

A twist on Machiavelli: even if the initial focus is on money, it’s possible to combine profits with doing good.

I seriously second your reasons why biking to work isn’t always practical. The best bike-to-work scenario I’ve ever had involved an advertising agency in Chicago that gave employees a heavily subsidized membership to one of the best health clubs in town — and one that was located directly behind the agency’s offices.
I would bike seven miles to the club, shower and change, then walk the bike across the street to work.
It was perfect. I still miss those days … well, the biking part of it anyway. :)
I missed biking to work too. I don’t miss getting hit on my bike. Boston drivers truely do suck. I caught a post from an interesting fella, so i updated the article.
