For Car-Free Day, I will share with you a (partisan) photobucket pic I ran across about Obama and McCain and their transportation footprint:
On that note, I also mentioned that DATA and Wolfline Bus trips were free today. I saw over on David’s New Raleigh that Raleigh’s CAT busline was too, and tomorrow at the Moore’s [...]
Here in the Triangle, we finally got a few days of summer heat, though it pales in comparison to the month straight of 100 degrees that we faced August 2007.
Regardless, Marc and I have been so happy to leave windows open most of this summer. Worst case scenario, we would close the windows during the [...]

All you have to do is show up at Oval Park on W. Club Blvd on Saturday morning (THIS SATURDAY, 12th April) at 9 am, and then you can pick what you [...]
“There’s a lot of ‘green scamming’” said Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farms Organic Yogurt at today’s Footprints Conference 2008, but every company including Walmart and John Deere are claiming their grass is greener.
Live blogging from the conference, I can only regurgitate tidbits right now and save video for you for later.
Just know recycling and carbon offsetting [...]
