Recently I had to purchase a new car (new to me, at least) due to an accident back in September. I had been driving a 2006 Impala with combined 30 mpg, and I knew that this unfortunate event had the silver lining of allowing me to talk with my money about environmental issues that matter [...]
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 film here was filmed in mid-September, as Green Grounded and the Triangle were suffering from $5 a gallon gasoline. “Drill Baby Drill!” was a popular chant (or source of criticism), and I was still driving Gina. I planned on airing it before registration deadline, but life (and car accidents) got in the way.
I waited [...]
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 [...]
So, here I am driving a rental Chevrolet Cobalt (who told me to call her Tina…) for another couple days until I get a check for Gina and find another car. This accident has me not only looking for another car-friend in my life, but has me asking questions regarding how eco-friendly I can get [...]
After seeing a great post by The Good Human on choosing an eco-friendly option when renting a car, I figured I would work on updating you guys as to Green Grounded’s own car saga. But, before we move into posts on searching and buying another car, I need to air what I’m dealing with ~ [...]
Not because our nation has figured out the mastery of green technology and alternative fuels, but for various other reasons a Yahoo news article claims that gas prices could be $3 or less a gallon in time for the holidays!
The article states
On Friday, fears of a global recession helped drive down U.S. crude oil futures [...]
The deadline for voter registration in North Carolina is FRIDAY, 10 October 2008, so Green Grounded encourages you North Cackalackians to GET REGISTERED. 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 [...]
In case you didn’t see the N&O article yesterday, Green Grounded and friends saw that a group is conducting a study to look into taxing each mile you drive instead of continuing with the state’s highway tax on each gallon of gasoline you purchase.
Fourteen states besides North Carolina are included in this study, where volunteers [...]
