Hello everyone and welcome to Earth Day 2010! We are very excited about the MI Earth Day Fest in Rochester. It will begin Friday April 23rd and end on Sunday April 25th. We will be selling our new book Larry the Litterbug. If you came to the show last year and were unable to see the [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2010/04/22/happy-earth-day-from-greener-thinking/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2009/04/22/happy-earth-day/ http://greenerthinking.com/2009/04/22/happy-earth-day/#comments Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:43:48 +0000 Jonathan http://greenerthinking.com/?p=366
Welcome to Earth Day. Can you feel it, like some thing new just happened? Is your thumb tingling and turning green? Yeah, it’s not something you can feel and it’s not something you usually look forward to. It’s not a day about you but a day about saving the planet. “Earth” does so much for [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2009/04/22/happy-earth-day/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2008/04/20/presidential-hopeful-barack-obama-and-the-environment/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/04/20/presidential-hopeful-barack-obama-and-the-environment/#comments Mon, 21 Apr 2008 05:46:54 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=252
Obama says to reduce carbon emissions 80% below 1990 levels by 2050 he will create a “Cap-and-Trade” system that means that you will be able to purchase credits to offset your carbon footprint. The money made off of these credits will be used to invest in creating green alternatives. These new alternatives will need skilled [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/04/20/presidential-hopeful-barack-obama-and-the-environment/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2008/04/06/give-a-tree-for-arbor-day-or-any-other-day/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/04/06/give-a-tree-for-arbor-day-or-any-other-day/#comments Mon, 07 Apr 2008 05:42:58 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=246
This past Christmas, my girlfriend received a card from one of her friends. This was no ordinary card though. This card was from The National Arbor Day Foundation. It is called a “Give-A-Tree” card and it’s a very green card. They are printed on recycled paper and can be recycled. The card is also printed [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/04/06/give-a-tree-for-arbor-day-or-any-other-day/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2008/03/26/green-collar-jobs/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/03/26/green-collar-jobs/#comments Thu, 27 Mar 2008 05:42:15 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=244
As stated plenty of times before, Greener Thinking has been designed to help people save the environment while also making money. It finally looks as though a city is putting the pieces together to make a concept that will change how people think. Boston is taking on two challenges, waste management and energy production, and [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/03/26/green-collar-jobs/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2008/02/18/greener-nike/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/02/18/greener-nike/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2008 05:38:54 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=234
As we like to remind you, Greener Thinking is a dual meaning, to save the environment while making money. Nike has finally taken this to heart and created a new “Environmentally Friendly” shoe.  This shoe was made from scraps of other shoes, recycled rubber bits and a more environmentally friendly rubber sole. There is rumor that [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/02/18/greener-nike/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2008/01/20/how-to-recycle/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/01/20/how-to-recycle/#comments Mon, 21 Jan 2008 05:36:31 +0000 Jason http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=228
Sometimes figuring out what can be recycled and what can’t can become quite confusing. For instance, in the United States, many communities make their own rules regarding recycling policies. Therefore, what you may be able to recycle where you live could be a big no for someone living somewhere else. It can be frustrating finding [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/01/20/how-to-recycle/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/12/16/pencils-that-save-trees-and-smell-good-too/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/12/16/pencils-that-save-trees-and-smell-good-too/#comments Mon, 17 Dec 2007 05:35:36 +0000 Daniel http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=226
Usually when you think of a pencil, you think of the old, trusty, yellow number two. But at Smencils, they want you to look at and smell pencils a new way. Smencils are pencils that you can choose one of ten different smells for. Smells like orange, cherry, and watermelon, or even chocolate and cotton candy.

Walking around all of the orange and brown is nice for a change. Happy Halloween. I hope that you had some fun, but we are now back to Greener Thinking. While watching TV this week something caught me by surprise. NBC is having a “Green Week.”  What is this you ask? Well I can’t tell you, [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/31/nbc-universal-%e2%80%93-green-is-universal/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/26/earth-smaller-than-your-thumb/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/26/earth-smaller-than-your-thumb/#comments Sat, 27 Oct 2007 05:25:46 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=202
Drifting through the infinite darkness of space, you find that everything that you know, everything that you have ever touched, and millions of people you have not even met yet are combined, smaller than your thumb. Only 12 people in human existence, as we know it, have ever set foot on the moon. Some people [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/26/earth-smaller-than-your-thumb/feed/ 0
