I wanted to pass along some links to some blogs that I found noteworthy. Carbonfund had a neat article about a hotel in San Fran that powered up some solar panels on their roof to not only offset their power consumption but also lessen their carbon footprint.
Rock on Rock Port, MO for the 23% wind power overage!
I am afraid that the only thing that is going to wake to general public up to how bad our oil addiction is by them not being able to afford it. I was at the gas station the other day after getting a phenomenal round in the Subie of 32mpg, listening to two guys bitch about how expensive it was to fill their Suburban and full size pick-em-up. Hmmm. Maybe it was your selection of vehicle type? Anyway, the positive note to this rant is that the positive outcome of high gas prices is an upswing for Bike to Work Week. Consider Biking, some local folks here in Columbus has put up a website about the local event here.
Here's a family that was fed up with their fuel costs that they decided to build a solar powered vehicle out of panels and an 8 seat bike.
Have a great week!

Hey! Thanks for the great info about the solar powered hotel. I can't wait to be able to put those on my house to lower my consumption!
I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it).
Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
I agree. Thanks for posting this.
