A Green Guide To Surviving In The Wilderness
Marooned in a deserted island? Trapped in a jungle in the Pacific? Lost in a seemingly endless desert? Away from the luxuries of urban living, you’re left on your own to find some ways on how to survive. Well, you’re not exactly alone. Nature’s by your side and all you have to do is to call on her aid. Indeed, being green is not only essential for long life. Being green can also save your life in certain situations. Here are some green tips on how to survive with Mother Nature on your side. Even Bear Grylls will be proud of these lessons.
Sutton Station, Durham, NC
My wife has a haircut and I have time to kill. Seeking respite from my version of city life I head for the nearest patch of grass to read. I already know that this non-native ‘grass’ is a lousy excuse for the nature I crave, a highly manicured, chemical induced illusion. The lack of diversity [...]
Water Bottles
I saw this over at 365 Days of Trash. While this animation speaks for itself it also has an ‘away’ as in ‘thrown away’ and that is off screen. In real life there is no ‘away’ – its just ‘thrown over there where hopefully I can’t see it’. I think the video would speak more [...]
No Electricity Required
As you will soon learn I am not a big backer of all things electric being the solution to our problems. I think a solar water heater is a more elegant roof top addition than a solar panel for instance. Along that same design principle I love this hot tub that just showed up on [...]

A cow can only provide one [...]

Although I am getting more and more emails about starting this blog backup again, I just do not know if I have the time to dedicate to this project. I feel like I was Green before it was popular and missed the boat by being too early.
Anyway, If you are really interested in [...]
Direction of Hippy Grean
I have posted a side note about Hippy Green going more of eBooks and timeless articles, but I wanted to hear from my readers WHY you enjoy going to this site. I can not compete with hugg.com or treehugger.com who have plenty of writers or “user” submitters, but I do want to push this idea [...]
Green is so last century

I am always blown away by how people say the “technology” has been the problem with GREEN. Didn’t you see that movie? with Al Gore?
Well for those not paying attention to their RSS feeds, ecogeek posted an interesting story about Porsche. Porsche the well know German car company built a car with in-wheel [...]
Green Joke of the Day
Chris sent me this joke today and I have to post it. It’s a green joke and hopefully spices up your day.
A Harvard, Yale, and University of Vermont graduate enter the mens
room. The graduate of Yale spends 4 minutes aggressively washing his
hands with soap a constantly running water proclaiming “At Yale we
learned to be [...]
Reducing My Paper Footprint
It seems with every new account I open along with the piles of junk mail I receive, there is always a lot of wasted paper. I have been meaning and trying to reduce my paper trail. I find it hard enough to shred all these documents that contain personal information about me as well as [...]
