As stated in my previous article To Go Green You Must Start With The Grass I had decided to purchase a new Craftsman 48 Volt Battery Powered Mower to put my own “Green Credentials” to the test. This was a bid to unchain myself from the Energy Mafia. Now lets “Cut” to the chase (Yes, lame).  When I first started [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/05/29/to-go-green-you-must-start-with-the-grass-part-2/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2008/05/06/to-go-green-you-must-start-with-the-grass/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/05/06/to-go-green-you-must-start-with-the-grass/#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 05:48:16 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=256
While on my way to work, pausing at every red light, I came to a point of frustration rarely seen. Yes, some of that frustration had to do with people who get in a car and try to drive somewhere automatically lose 78% of their brain. OK, its not really true… it just seems that [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/05/06/to-go-green-you-must-start-with-the-grass/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/2008/01/31/chevy-volt-modding/ http://greenerthinking.com/2008/01/31/chevy-volt-modding/#comments Fri, 01 Feb 2008 05:37:23 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=230
Being part of the computer world, you are offered certain terms that the rest of society gives you the confused, head cocked to the side, puppy stare. One of these terms is “Mod.” Everyday people do this even though they may not know it. The simplest example of a “Mod” is when an iPod is [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2008/01/31/chevy-volt-modding/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/12/03/the-future-of-energy/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/12/03/the-future-of-energy/#comments Tue, 04 Dec 2007 05:34:14 +0000 Daniel http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=222
Many people are very excited about future energy sources and our transition to get away from fossil fuels. It seems like almost every day you hear about a new advancement in alternative energy or some new initiative or incentive to use more environmentally-friendly energy sources. Everyone seems to think that potential uses for many of [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/12/03/the-future-of-energy/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/11/26/coal-the-new-clean-fuel/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/11/26/coal-the-new-clean-fuel/#comments Tue, 27 Nov 2007 05:33:37 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=220
Hope you had a fantastic and relaxing Thanksgiving Day. While enjoying my turkey day something crazy happened! I saw a commercial! Yeah, that’s not the crazy part. The content of the commercial was what made me look at the T.V. with my head cocked to the side with a confused look the same way your dog does [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/11/26/coal-the-new-clean-fuel/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/11/12/a-whirlwind-of-energy/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/11/12/a-whirlwind-of-energy/#comments Tue, 13 Nov 2007 05:29:21 +0000 Daniel http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=212
Have you ever seen those videos of tornadoes destroying everything in their path on The Weather Channel? You know, the ones where you’re wondering how it is that the person is actually able to stand there and continue videotaping it when all logic says they should be ducking for cover in their basement… Well, have you [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/11/12/a-whirlwind-of-energy/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/30/a-green-makeover/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/30/a-green-makeover/#comments Wed, 31 Oct 2007 05:26:30 +0000 Daniel http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=204
If you didn’t see this past week’s episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, you missed an episode dedicated to making a new “green” home for a Navajo family. This episode was full of innovative ways to conserve energy and help ensure that the family would never have to pay an electricity bill for this big, beautiful [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/30/a-green-makeover/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/09/the-wind-is-a-terrible-thing-to-waste/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/09/the-wind-is-a-terrible-thing-to-waste/#comments Wed, 10 Oct 2007 05:20:03 +0000 Daniel http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=187
“A mind is a terrible thing to waste”, says a famous quote from an ad campaign. But perhaps in Australia they say the wind is. Epuron, a renewable energy company, has announced their plans for one of the largest wind farms in the world in Broken Hill. The $2 billion project would supply up to 400,000 homes [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/10/09/the-wind-is-a-terrible-thing-to-waste/feed/ 0 http://greenerthinking.com/2007/09/11/green-currents/ http://greenerthinking.com/2007/09/11/green-currents/#comments Wed, 12 Sep 2007 05:04:27 +0000 Jonathan http://larrythelitterbug.com/?p=157
While listening to the radio, I heard an interesting commercial DTE Energy stated that there is a renewable energy option available NOW! This new project is called Green Currents. I am always interested in saving the environment so continued to listen until they gave me a website to check out on my own.  Thinking I was going to [...]]]> http://greenerthinking.com/2007/09/11/green-currents/feed/ 0
