You’ve probably also seen a number of funny meme with TP alternatives like leaves or 3 sea shells (share your favorite TP memes in the comments below). Before you stockpile a […]

Neil deGrasse Tyson came to Medford and it was Awesome!
Posted on September 16, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment
Last week I took my teenagers to an amazing talk by Neil deGrasse Tyson, famed astrophysicist and climate science (and all science) proponent. We didn’t actually know the topic for the talk, but when someone like him comes to your home town theater and you can get tickets, you just go. He was engaging from […]
First week with our new plug-in minivan, the Pacifica Hybrid
Posted on March 1, 2018 Written by Leave a Comment
Driving our new plug-in Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has been amazing this week. With the exception of one problem, which I’ll get to later , we have been very pleased with this plug-in hybrid minivan. The acceleration is fun, so far I’ve experienced 95kW all electric torque launching us forward from a stop without the internal […]

The weekend started off as pretty much every weekend, our kids had a ton of lessons and practices to be shuttled around to and Alicia had yet another sustainability conference she was trying to get to.

A number of my conservative and libertarian friends have been saying we should “wait and see” what President Trump does. Well it didn’t take long for Trump to try and fuck the planet. Here’s what I see and we’re only on day four: Trump has nominated the biggest fossil fuel CEO to be Secretary of […]
Surviving the 2016 Election Outcome
Posted on November 12, 2016 Written by Leave a Comment
It’s hard for an environmentalist to not feel despair right now. I’ve been counseling people to wait and watch. When someone has been as much as a liar and changed what he says as often as Trump does, it’s easy to believe that he won’t move forward with some of the things he has promised […]

We haven’t been blogging much over the past year and I suspect some people wonder why – other than we both work full time and have three kids! There’s always a lot going on in our lives, but this year I think these three phrases encapsulate the big reasons we haven’t been blogging much: open space, […]
