Electric Cars should not still be a thing of the Future!
By: Gavin Mcleavy
It’s really simple!
Battery powered cars have been made and solar energy has been around for years. Now cities with any sense of progress need to step up and take the leap of faith.
Politicians have been using it as a vote getter for years but they aren’t doing anything with it, just false promises. ITS HERE!! WHY AREN'T WE USING IT?

Whether at home, in the office, or at school, people who spend most of their time indoors can’t afford to breathe unhealthy air. Even limited exposure can compromise concentration and creativity, as symptoms associated with breathing bad air include laziness, dizziness, mood swings, and stomach sickness.

Today is the day of the week to be conscious of your consumption and your personal carbon footprint! Be aware of the trash you create and try and find ways around it.

Going green does not have to be a complete lifestyle change. If you can do it, then that’s great. However, the most important thing to keep in mind is to do something – anything.

It seems that the only good use nowadays of plastic grocery store bags is to recycle them into tote bags that can last and be used over and over. Other than that, the reality of these bags is worse than we think...if we take the time to think about this topic. I watched a great parody video, "Plastic state of mind". Its spun from the song "New York state of mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, from the organization Green Sangha. (Sangha is a community of Buddhist monks) The group has a campaign to push for people to rethink... Read More
