October 22 at 12:29 PMOkay, I just read that we're running low on Helium, a nonrenewable element that is essential to keep MRI machines running. But we've made sure that we can fill balloons that are sooo good for the environment. What kind of 'special stupid' are we as humans? There are just days when I know we are reaping exactly what we deserve for our asinine...

October 13 at 2:41 PMTo anybody who wants to take the next step after completing an online energy audit, I had an in-person blower door test/ home energy audit done by Future Energy Dynamics.

I've seen the little ones that you can pick up with one hand and don't move much snow, but these are full size blowers. Maybe if I get into shape mowing next summer, I can manage to move the...

October 8 at 11:12 AMI had an opportunity to buy a fountain pen the other day when I ordered next year's planner. I haven't used one for decades but I've always liked the way they write. The good news is that it isn't a disposable, but it has cartridge refills. What does this have to do with an Ecochallenge? I did some digging and actually found refillable,...

October 7 at 6:48 AMSo did you see the story about United Airlines wanting to have electric planes by 2030? The plane will be nothing but batteries--there won't be any space for people or cargo. {:p
