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 [...]
A colleague of mine recently had me meet Pete Pagano of Green Planet Catering here in Raleigh, NC.
NBC 17 covered the company recently, and though the catering company has only been catering for about half a year, but the concept has been growing much much longer.
I have to admit, the “greenie” in me is deeply [...]
The wildfire last week had Raleigh (and other parts of the state) looking like Houston in the late 1980s. My girlfriend from the VA beach area said it covered them last week as well.
The smoke lifted by Friday, but in case you missed it, were out of town, or just want to know what Raleigh [...]
I’m guessing unless you’ve sat in your home the last day, you’ve also inhaled the warm smolder lingering in the air.
Both Durham and Raleigh are feeling the effects of the 42,000 acre wildfire burning in Eastern NC. Which is a huge ordeal, and with rain levels lower than average, the fire could continue burning and [...]
Water, sugar, sugar, sugar… and Glaceau claims Vitamin Vater is healthy for you! I repeat… vita-what?!
OK, Marc and I went to Earthfare up at Brier Creek last week and got hypnotized by the huge selection of beautifully-colored (BPA-leaching irresponsibly plastic bottled) VitaminWater selection. After all the hype of how this beverage is made fully of [...]
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 [...]

Marc and I went to Falls Lake in Raleigh this past Sunday for, what Marc thought, was fishing. I went just to relax on a rock. Little did we realize that Falls Lake is simply a disaster zone of plastic, broken glass, cigarette butts and nuclear waste.
OK, the nuclear waste is a step too far, perhaps, [...]
I do not know about your week, but betweeen life, work and elections, the first three days of this week were pretty high-impact, so I am taking a long deep breathe today to relax with clips from my last trip to the park.
Marc and I went up to Shelley Lake Park recently and I took [...]
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 [...]
