Hippy Green

Blogging is a great way to share your experiences and possibly make money online!. Carl Ocab contacted me last week about Hippy Green and I was blown away. He is only 14 years old, lives in the Philippines and is already making money with his blog. Most 20somethings can’t make money with a blog (me being one of them, ha!)

Anyway, he has a great blog on how to make a side income by blogging. He has some great posts like SEO Tips and why he blogs, which might give you some inspiration to start blogging. He will also give you some great traffic by posting a review. Its great to interact with other bloggers and be part of the blogosphere. I am glad my blog is reaching out across the world. I think his blog is giving me more inspiration to continue blogging and try and stick with a 1 post per day!

Hippy Green wants to make this blog a crowdsourcing blog rather then a standard wordpress blog. We are looking for writers as well as researchers.

If you are interested in writing for us, please Contact Us with your article and if it looks good we will post! We are not giving away money (yet!) but we will be giving you link backs as well as (possible swag?) in the future, who knows. As for researchers, we are looking for links, anyone can do this!

This article raises some good points. I have only started to grapple with the implications of having CF bulbs in our home. I have to think that the average american is going to toss burnt out CF bulbs in the trash rather than disposing of them properly (if you don’t believe me ask yourself where you throw your alkaline batteries). The batteries in hybrid cars aren’t exactly good for the environment either. Does it make sense to put dangerous materials in the general public’s hands or keep them in the big factories? The latter is easier to regulate but the former allows people to give up very little while significantly reducing their energy footprint.

*note* I have started Hippy Green and want to see more come from it. I have been pretty busy with changing my contract work and working on some side projects because of this I am looking for writers to post interesting articles/finds on Hippy Green. This article above is written by antics of tears of fire. I will be changing the template a bit so you can see whos posting the stories, please contact me if you want to write for Hippy Green. (Right now its all for fun, but we might change that to a for profit that gives back to the community.)

Yes, it has been 1 week since Earth Day 2007 and Hippy Green is 1 week old. There have been some great comments, 10 comments in all with 20 entires. Hippy Green has already started to make some money on advertisement along with gain in popularity on technorati. There is still more to come, but I just want to give a shout out and tell everyone to expect much more in the upcoming months. I still have to add a couple more plugins to this blog, but please let me know if you have any suggestions. I want to make Hippy Green a great resource for all things green, from technology to building costs, for any suggestions please email me at the following email: blog (the at symbol) hippygreen period com

Notice the image on the right side, Dreamhost buys Carbon Credits to offset its usage for the 1300+ servers it runs (which hosts www.hippygreen.com). So not only is this blog Green by nature, but its hosted by a Green Company. If you looking for a web server/solution, I highly recommend Dreamhost. Dreamhost is not only as green as they come, but has some awesome service and plans, its one of the best web hosting companies I have used. (and I have been hosting a website since 1998). I will be renewing my contract with them the end of this month and could not be happier.

*Side Note, I will be also getting a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from slicehost to use for my Ruby on Rails application, but thats mainly due to speed/scaliablity/load. The Ruby on Rails can run on Dreamhost, but the rails framework is heavy on shared servers like Dreamhost. If your looking for a php/web hosting server, SIGN UP NOW by Clicking on the image below!

If your looking for some hardcore ruby on rails server, slicehost or engine yard.

Happy Earth Day! Its been 30 years since Earth Day has started and Hippy green is ready to launch!

Hippy Green is a blog that discusses green alternative energies like Solar, Wind, and Geothermal as well as the technology behind them. This blog is built and run by John Murch the Geek Guru who is a recent graduate from the University of Vermont with a B.A. in Computer Science. John has taken a couple of environmental class on alternative energies as well as does a lot of research within the topic. He started this blog because he wanted his blog to target specific topics and migrate his “green” topics to this blog.
