This whole ‘green’ thing has gotten a little out of hand. The trend right now is caring for the environment. So now every company is sending out press releases with the word ‘green’ somewhere in the title detailing how environmentally aware their company is. If a company plants a tree at their campus headquarters, a [...]
It’s really a shame that recycling is such a challenge for most people. It’s much easier to just throw something away in the trash than it is to care for the environment. There are many challenges where I live for example, plastic bottles must have the o-rings removed. Have you ever tried getting an o-ring [...]
I have had many posts lately about gas prices. I often take aim at people that drive huge, gas consuming vehicles just to be flashy. I love the irresponsible and ignorant attitudes that I am confronted with. The general message is “It’s my right as an American to consume as much gas as I want!”. Sure! [...]
Every day there seems to be some kind of new report because somebody did a math problem and came to the conclusion that we are going to run out of some resource. Lately the big story is oil. I’ve heard we will run out of it by 2020. Another article says 2050. I’ve also read [...]
It looks like all of the reports and stories are finally getting through to Americans. People are finally realizing that bottled water is just a huge ripoff. A recent report states that bottled water costs 4,000 times what ordinary tap water costs. In an staggering economy, Americans have no room in their wallets for such [...]
People have been getting bent out of shape over the death of the SUV, stating and restating that they just have to own a larger vehicle. They use every excuse in the book to justify the fact that they are throwing hundreds of dollars away on the vehicle, insurance and gas.
I know there are a [...]
OK, there are a lot of people offended because of the media bashing SUV’s and large gas guzzling vehicles. Some people just love their SUV’s. I read many excuses as to why people must have an SUV. ‘I have kids!’ and ‘I own a boat!’. Chill out people! I think most people agree that if [...]
Dear General Motors,
You’re a little late to the punch. You have just started to roll hybrid cars off the lines. Meanwhile Honda and Toyota have been rolling hybrid vehicles off the lines for years. Dealerships have waiting lists for the things. They will even be offering plug-in hybrids soon. The EV-1 you invented years ago [...]
When I was a kid, bottled water didn’t exist. We drank from a faucet. Then the French said “American’s are so stupid, they would pay for bottled water!” and Evian was born. I joke, but American’s drink more water than coffee, milk or beer. Why do we pay $1.00 for 12 ounces of something we [...]
The other day I spoke with a gentleman from here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota about the weather. The temperature here is like that of the rest of the nation, much cooler than usual. It was in the 30’s here on Friday. After I expressed how unusual the weather has been, he says to me [...]
