Today is Bike to Work Day, not such a big hit {Green Daily}
May 16th 2008 4:23PM :-\ I know this is stupid, but, *whispers* I don't know how to ride a bike.
And when I tried recently with my dad's help, I hurt my legs with the pedals, because I felt I was so big that even my dad couldn't catch me if I fell. (Plus the bike seat hurt me like there was no tomorrow!)
I'm working on losing weight (maybe I can get to a point where I feel like a guy CAN catch me. ...maybe Hulk Hogan...X-p) but the other article about the link between obesity and global warming made me think.
I get HOT! And when I'm hot, I'm miserable. So screw walking to work; if I do, I'm liable to bite off some heads by the time I get there! ;-) All that to say, I think increased AC use contributes, too. (I also got a HUGE amount of hair-- ON MY HEAD!-- and I can stick my fingers in my hair and feel the heat coming off my skull.)
Why and how we need to stop sending letters {Green Daily}
May 13th 2008 2:34AM And with lotsa online video renting companies (i.i. Netflix), why not watch a movie on you computer instead? Less paper (envelope), less gas (transit), etc.
This or That: Aluminum-framed or steel-framed bicycles? {Green Daily}

Bamboo!
BAMBOO!

EFuel100: Make your own Ethanol and fill up your car at home {Green Daily}
May 10th 2008 8:11AM There;s this kind of weed (that grows naturally here in America) that has so much energy potential that it puts corn to shame.
sad thing is, if i'm remembering correctly, it's against the law to try to make ethanol out of anything other than corn and soy.
I have a dream: finally, legal rights for vegetables {Green Daily}
May 9th 2008 5:40PM So if we can't eat meat and we can't eat vegetables, what's left?
Well I guess this means we can't use fungi to create even better, flame-retardant house insulation.
Would John Deere and their ilk be taken to court for serial homicide? Er, rather, plant-icide? (there's no limitations on murder)
And no more farmers; feeding animals plants would be assisted plant-slaughter.
But then no farmers would let all the livestock die, and be guilty of murder on account of not intervening. (But I guess that would result in less life sentences than killing trillions of kernels of corn)
GreenTech: Who needs solar power when you've got pedal power? {Green Daily}
May 8th 2008 3:31PM get out of my head, china!!

4 startling facts about the organic food found in your reusable grocery bag {Green Daily}
May 8th 2008 3:25PM Oh, for real? I figured that some molecular change must come into affect, but I didn't think such a radical one!
Thanks for answering my random q! :)
Note to climate change deniers: It's real, you idiots {Green Daily}
May 6th 2008 4:45PM "do people even read the article before commenting"
Do you even read a comment before replying? If you did, then you would not have posted, having seen that I was saying that my dad thinks radically differently than I, yet we both agree that humanity has been a terrible steward of the planet. And that commonality is what pro-green groups and the general population have been missing.
"you're dad's an idiot"
Oh wow. Aren't we high-and-mighty, insulting family members of people we've never met. And what a wonderful pre-school American attitude of "you think differently than I do? then you're a little baby doody-head!"

May 6th 2008 4:38PM Also, I heard about farms using methane from their cows to power everything.
One problem.
If methane, alone, is 20x worse for the ozone than CO2, how much worse does it become by BURNING it??
**is honestly wondering**

May 5th 2008 6:05PM I think what I hate is about 5 out of 6 people who say global warming IS real arer:
~going green as a fashion statement
~going green to get attention (why buy tables and chairs that still have bumper stickers and loose nails unless you're a metaphorical dog, begging for others to pat your head and say you did good?)
~going pouser-green (hopping on yet another bandwagon)
~trying to sell a new book/cars/electronics/clothes 3x more expensive in order to save the lump-gilled lilly algae...
~adoring the chaos (as they say global warming and a gas shortage is real, while saying new sources of energy are unrealistic. see also: "farewell to suburbia" ...i think that's what the documentary was called...)
I think global warming isn't the issue. My dad doesn't believe in it. But we both believe in more **affordable** green solutions for the sake of being better stewards with the planet we were born on.
I think if we highlighted things like these, then there'd be much less division.
