In the controversies of the world, the sustainability impact of paper towels will be historically noted.
While that may not be entirely true, the ecological impact of deforestation certainly has already made its way into our children’s textbooks and society’s pop-culture.
Yet, people frankly don’t think about the ramifications of disposable items such as paper towels and [...]
I watch a silly show: Kimora Lee Simmons: Life in the Fab Lane. A couple weeks back I was going to write a post on how her Fashion Week plans could have been much more eco-friendly and less dramatic had she not hired a Chinese factory to produce her men’s clothing line (which were late [...]
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 [...]
The debates rage on for all the reasons to commute in town on bicycles (and motorcycles), as well as why they should stay off the road. We all know bicycling reduces pollution, slows our dependency on oil, and keeps us much healthier. Regardless of the benefits, here is a list of the reasons I won’t ride a bike [...]

Otherwise, you don’t get to make that difference… and for the first time in history, North Carolina could be an important link in the Presidential Elections! We could even end up a [...]
Don’t vote. Do not vote. As much as Green Grounded has previously taken the stance that you need to vote, we’ve changed our tune.
Don’t vote. Not like it matters anyhow. After all, this whole last week has shown me what good it all does anyhow. Right?
Now tell all your friends… don’t vote.
Sustainably yours, Ashley Sue

After yesterday’s car accident, Marc and I are returning to life as normal. Team Green Grounded is happy to report that no serious injuries impeded on either party. I only wish we could say the same for the vehicles. My Impala, Gina, took a blow she didn’t ask for or deserve.
Regardless, today, Marc has a [...]
In case you didn’t hear, many plastic drink containers contain a toxin that damages both human health and environmental safety. The toxin is bisphenol A (aka BPA), and this includes your eco-friendly multi-use drink bottles, like some Nalgene bottles.
What is sparking my rehashing of this issue, you ask?
Well, a couple nights ago, after seeing Lou [...]
It’s National Car-Free Day. Unfortunately I’ve already driven. I work, and as most American cities are not very walkable, I drove to a location to get some work done.
I hear, though, that Durham is allowing all riders to get on for free today. And in Raleigh, of course, the NC State Wolfline is always free [...]
