Green Grounded is sometimes amazed at how the natural environment and urban development merge.  Often, I notice that we push wildlife out of their natural settings.  Consequences are expressed in our daily lives as we experience far too many deer carcasses on the side of highways.
On a much (much) lighter note than roadkill, here’s a video [...]

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 [...]

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

Let’s all hope we can appreciate our selves and our lives more with each year, and cherish the functions of each part of who we are, and radiating humanity and compassion for ourselves and others, just as Jane shares in her video…
 
:)  Thank you, Jane.
 
 
 
Sustainably yours, Ashley Sue

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. [...]

No, Amber Valletta is not looking for a green-hued ocean, but by teaming up with Oceana.org (and the likes of Ted Danson), she is advocating a healthier environment and healthier eating.
 
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 [...]
