Dry Cleaner or Starship? Submitted by GreenHomeLady on Thu, 10/30/2008 - 7:52am.
Last week my friend, a young urbanist who has been apartment hunting in downtown Miami, emailed asking me for an opinion. Sure. I’m here for you buddy. How can I help? He asked me about the dry cleaner in his future neighborhood.
“It appears to be very green,” he said, “but I’d like to hear what you think.” He thought I’d want to see it - - It would be a “dry cleaner experience” unlike any I’d ever had, he said. Actually, I can’t remember anything about my previous dry cleaner experience. It was classic I’m sure. » read more »
Catchier story - Phelps or Pollution? Submitted by Two Girls ... on Fri, 08/15/2008 - 4:10pm.
Each morning, after I get to the office and begin preparing for the day, I log onto Google to check the latest Olympic's stats. (I watch them when possible, but events after about 11 p.m. are definitely cutting into my bedtime.) Usually, the first thing to pop up is yet another Phelps gold medal. » read more »

I’m trying to deal responsibly with the old thermostat we just replaced. It contains mercury. I googled for disposal advice for consumers and came up with the same answers I already know. 1) If you’re in Maine, mail in old thermostats for a $5 rebate (I’m in Florida) 2) Take it to your county’s hazardous waste center (20 miles away)

Wake up-smell the climate change coffee. Submitted by bobferris on Sun, 03/30/2008 - 5:38pm.
Every so once in a while I run into some one who absolutely does not believe that climate change is upon us. There beliefs are so strong that they will argue strongly that it does not exist, that the science is inconclusive,or even if it does exist it is not our fault. What those folks should consider is that the world burns something close to a cubic mile of oil each year and we have done that for a while. We also burn coal, wood, and agricultural wastes. And our garbage dumps, cows and other activities add to the human-caused airborne load of methane and other greenhouse gases. Ho » read more
