In a blatantly arrogant display of “richer than though” persona, a wealthy Sheikh shipped his Lamborghini from Qatar to London all just for an oil change. At 3,250 miles each way, that makes the carbon footprint of this already high emitting car even more massive that it otherwise would be. All in all, it cost […]
Summer is in full swing here in my little island town in Maine. The ’summer folk’ are arriving and boy are things getting busy. We have had a swell of berries coming in from local farmers and neighborhood kids alike and are getting so many MORE of our veggies from the island and […]
As a designer, I love infographs and infographic videos. As an environmental nut, I love videos on the topic. This video created by GOOD magazine is definitely no exception. The information is great and the video is entertaining. Check it out.
Apparently my Green Mountain Coffee post ruffled a few more feathers than I had realized. Just after I posted about the response from Heather, Michael Dupee commented on the original post with some words of his own.

Sarcastic look at coal energy.
Hello and greetings from Maine once again! It is a cool 70 degrees this evening as I type away at my laptop, by which some miracle is picking up a wireless connection from my bedroom. Imagine that…I didn’t have to try to sneak to the library during working hours (the only time it’s […]
As a car-nut and an eco-freak, what’s a guy to do? Petroleum burning internal combustion engines plus speed and power don’t equal green driving, but Lotus has been working on greener fuels and more efficient cars including the Tri-Fuel Exige 270E which can run on ethanol, gasoline, or methanol. Besides that, their cars are also […]
Philippe Starck of the Alessi Citrus Juicer fame recently said he was going to leave the design world because he felt like the products he made were useless and wasteful. He was right in a way, his designs though beautiful, weren’t always the most functional.
