Tomorrow, I’m going to Millwaukee, which you’d think I’d be excited about, what with it being home to Laverne and Shirley, and “the good land” according to the Algonquins and Alice Cooper. But alas, there is something really bugging me about this upcoming trip. The flight.

If you follow this link to the Véhicule Press website you'll see the old one, but this is much punchier. Amazing what a little tweaking can do!

According to Consumer Consequences, if everyone lived my lifestyle, we would need the resources of 4.3 Earths to support us. This is based on a complicated calculation which concludes that, to accomplish sustainability, each person should use only the resources available on 4.5 acres of land. Apparently I am using more than my share of many natural... Read Full Story

The 5 steps that I am about to list really can help the impact on our environment. 1. Morning Cup of Coffee Most people buy coffee in the morning and it comes in a disposable paper cup. If you were to buy a stainless steal or even plastic coffee cup and reuse it, you would be cutting back on the disposable trash, the mess in your car and if you buy coffee and have them put it in your own cup; they give you a discount. 2. Driving Smart The way you drive deffiantly has an affect on the... Read Full Story
