Lame play on words, but I wanted to write a brief commentary on the energy, emotionally, of our nation post Tuesday’s election. Tuesday itself was a holiday to me, commanding more honor than so many national holidays, I have looked forward to Election 2008 since summer of 2007. I compiled a short video of Marc’s [...]
For those of you who have not heard, Green Grounded and team are relocating to Asheville, NC.
This move has been nine years in the making, and once upon a day, I would have easily thought Asheville was too full of self-righteous granola types to want to move there. I may be veg, and I may [...]
They die. We shop.
A friend of mine made a beautiful video a couple months back. Her words and her art have stuck with me for the entire time, and I want to share with her video you.
Consumerism is dirty.
I do not mean that all buying and the concept of gift-giving is wrong. I adore stuff. [...]

Back in May, Valletta began speaking out and campaigning against mercury exposure. Now a mother, the cover girl is using her face as spokesperson for change.
I [...]

Consumerism bad, consumption good, abusing credit terrible, but in the battle of credit card ad campaigns sending a message that would make me want to use their card, American Express wins the battle with their new Members Project!
Where Discover Card BOMBED for their blatant brainwashing-themed “Buy More and Do So Soullessly” campaign and LG bit [...]
…or is Discover Card just one troll in the jungle of jerks advocating over-spending, under-consumption, throw-it-away-and-buy-a-new-replacement mindless drivel?
Have you seen their new commercial? It makes me sick.
First, you are full of it.
When the first words of your commercial are “We’re a nation of consumers… and there’s nothing wrong with that,” I KNOW you KNOW what [...]
Here in the Triangle, the housing market isn’t our biggest financial woe. Energy costs is.
As the price of energy goes up incrementally every day, we are less concerned with foreclosures (though some do face this nightmare, we are significantly lower in foreclosures than the national average) and far more concerned with the cost of going [...]
My friends Jake and Anna have done an AMAZING job looking through NC Assembly laws, on the books or in the works, and highlighted the top 20 on greening our state responsibly.
Check out their finds across four separate posts: NC Assembly Part 1, NC Assembly Part 2, NC Assembly Part 3 and NC Assembly Part [...]
This week (and not because it’s Black History Month) I shall celebrate George Washington Carver, whom I now dub the Grandfather of Green. Without this man’s contributions to science, I would have no tasty vegan substitutes like the Gimme Lean sausage I had with mashed potatoes last night.
