  Brave not-so-new gas emissions

  The EPA has ruled that 17 states, including our beloved California, cannot set stricter standards for carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles.
  The president of the EPA, Stephen L. Johnson, said that California didn’t make a compelling case why states should be able to set their own standards. The auto industry, of course agrees. David McCurdy, the […]

  The green dress

  12.19.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Today’s blog posting is inspired by Lainie’s weekend purchase: A green organic cotton dress for her mother ☺
  And then I just happened to stumble upon an article that ran in the New York Times on December 13, 2007 entitled “A World Consumed by Guilt” all about green fashion.

  Take back the city?

  The American dream prescribes we strive to purchase our very own piece of land. With the white picket fence and the backyard for our kids and pets to play.

  I just stumbled upon this quiz to determine your Influence Quotient at the working psychology web site. It’s interesting and scary at the same time. Influencing peoples choice is precisely what advertisers do, though many tactics. I recommend you take the quiz, determine your Influence Quotient and then use that knowledge to decipher how […]

  …and one that’s not too expensive, too time consuming, too inconvenient for our busy culture.
  Imagine War is Over. Imagine Peace.

  a growing paper company

  12.06.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  A paper company in San Diego has decided to do more than just save trees. Instead of just making paper out of recycled paper, they make paper out of hemp and post-consumer waste.
