Saturday, July 25, 2015. An Ecology of Mind, the movie, followed by discussion for the August 3, 2015 meeting of Sustainable Monroeville at 7:00 PM! What's life on this planet and in this universe all about? How can we understand the nature of life without understanding our connection to the natural world and that we are nature? That our inner ecosystems are part of the "outer" world? Produced Nora Bateson, daughter of Gregory Bateson. The movie screening will be followed by discussion and action! Sustai...

The Green Workplace: Zipcar: Marketing Geniuses!

http://www.thegreenworkplace.com/2009/03/zipcar-marketing-geniuses.html

Wednesday, March 4, 2009. Today I heard about a genius marketing move by Zipcar. This is the second time in a couple of months that they've wowed me with their marketing brilliance. The first one: a Zipcar Prius was driving around near GWU with a cup of Starbucks on the roof. If you stopped the car, you got a free Starbucks gift card.plus info about Zipcar. Today's great idea: "Green Confessions." This is a free event for Zipcar members and their friends, hosted by Zipcar, Live Green. Follow us on Twitter.

CelticSolar: Plug-in Cars Get Kick Start

http://celticsolar.blogspot.com/2008/11/plug-in-cars-get-kick-start.html

Friday, November 7, 2008. Plug-in Cars Get Kick Start. There are several Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) and Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREV) that have been announced for 2010 and later.  Most publicized of these is the Chevy Volt. There is also a long list of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) announced for the same time-frame including the Tesla Model S.  I'll use the term "plug-in vehicles" to collectively refer to PHEV, EREV, and BEV. . What makes these cars expensive? Under $20,000 MSRP.

CelticSolar: Eat for Life

http://celticsolar.blogspot.com/2008/03/eat-for-life.html

Wednesday, March 5, 2008. What are the environmental costs of your eating habits? I have heard it said that a vegetarian driving a Hummer is more eco-friendly than a meat-eating bicyclist. Claims that eating whale is better for the planet than livestock meat. Of course, it is obviously less beneficial to the whale species. For the fruits and vegetables that you do eat, is it better to buy local or organic? There are benefits to both. If you can find a local organic farm, Hooray! The Future or the Past.

CelticSolar: EVs From Aptera to Zero

http://celticsolar.blogspot.com/2011/02/evs-from-aptera-to-zero.html

Friday, February 18, 2011. EVs From Aptera to Zero. If you have been following electric vehicles for any amount of time before 2010, then you know the heart-ache of disappointment. Perhaps they were concerned that the writing was on the wall and that start-ups like Tesla were gaining too much ground or perhaps it was the ground swell of demand from buyers. What ever the reason, they responded and there are now EVs for sale. Real cars, with real freeway capabilities, and more are coming. Ford, Honda and o...

CelticSolar: 1000 Leaf Miles

http://celticsolar.blogspot.com/2011/06/1000-leaf-miles.html

Saturday, June 25, 2011. I picked up my Nissan Leaf on May 18th, 2011. It is a blue SLe model with all the options. I’ve had the car for 1 month and put just over 1000 miles on it. This is enough time and miles to evaluate the car far more than a short test drive. I’ll cover the driving experience, range, and areas that I think could be better. It is difficult to compare an electric motor and a gasoline engine. They have very different performance characteristics. The 80kW motor only has 107 BHP&...When ...

The Neighborhood Toxicologist: Yankee Swap: tritium contaminated water anyone?

http://theneighborhoodtoxicologist.blogspot.com/2010/01/yankee-swap-tritium-contaminated-water.html

The Neighborhood Toxicologist summarizes information on chemical contaminants that impact our daily lives and our environment. Monday, January 25, 2010. Yankee Swap: tritium contaminated water anyone? First published in the. First we hear about tens of thousands of picocuries* in the groundwater beneath Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power. What do these numbers mean? Should we worry about all that tritium? And what the heck is a picocurie anyway? Or as a by-product of the nuclear industry. In the body, the maki...
