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 […]
Open Space, Climate Vulnerabilities and Making
Posted on March 9, 2016 Written by Leave a Comment
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, […]
Best Climate Change Speech Ever
Posted on November 6, 2015 Written by Leave a Comment
Today President Barack Obama gave what I consider the best climate change speech ever when he announced the rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline. However, when I first tried to watch the speech, by going to well known news sites, like USA Today, NBC News and CNN, I found that they only played edited versions of […]

How much did the US spend on Imported Oil in 2014?
Posted on September 10, 2015 Written by 3 Comments
My previous blog posts about the US spending on imported oil are finally making a difference. At least a lot of people seem to be asking how much the US spends on importing oil. Earlier this year, one of the leading United States Presidential Candidates stated that the US spent about $300 billion on importing […]

I was asked to review the feature length documentary Revolution by Rob Stewart. The movie takes you on a journey under the water and around the world to see the impacts of climate change and the damage that we are doing to our planet. The videography and imagery underwater is breath taking. The movie gets […]
A New Way to Reduce
Posted on November 17, 2014 Written by 5 Comments
Reducing is hard. Reducing is good for the environment. Using less is always better. But how? With three kids it’s really hard to use less. And frankly, as an American, using less is hard. It is ingrained in us from a young age to want more, more, and more and new everything. It is in […]
Music That Inspires Me To Be Green
Posted on August 4, 2014 Written by 3 Comments
I can relate to Kermit the Frog saying, “It’s not easy being green.” Recently, I have been struggling to stay motivated and write blog posts to motivate others to be green. With everything going on in the world these days, it seems so challenging to act and make a positive difference in the world. Thankfully, I got a shot […]
Chris Christie Bans Tesla Car Sales in New Jersey
Posted on March 14, 2014 Written by 1 Comment
Unbelievable. A board appointed by Chris Christie just banned Tesla from selling its cars in New Jersey. This has been an issue for a while there, and Gov Christie had said that the legislature would vote on it. Then, when it became apparent that the legislature would not stop Tesla from selling directly to consumers, […]
