Gray is Green

I may not be technically “gray” since I do admit to coloring my hair, but the void for boomers and 50 plussers who want to have their own voice in the “green” market is finally filled.  Gray is Green, developed with the expertise of  parent organization, the Natural Resources Defense Council, is grabbing interest [...]

Wind Power Without the Blades: Big Pics : Discovery News

This is an incredibly cool idea.  Innovation in wind energy…think reeds in a marsh.  I found this on a facebook friend’s stream.  I never would have seen this otherwise! http://news.discovery.com/tech/wind-power-without-the-blades.html

A conversation at the pump

Like so many of you, I get overwhelmed by the news.  The creaking, crawling recovery is mind-numbing in the scope of the disaster we sit in, in Amercia, the government polarization disheartening, catastrophic world events that recede from headlines, while people (in Japan, let’s say) are trying to figure out their futures from [...]

Beautiful California garden

Reader comment

A reader happened upon a post from 2006 (pre-crash) about finding a job at 50 plus.  The comment:

State of the Union, Coal, Australia and Backbone

Many readers will get this after tonight’s State of the Union, so I decided I wouldn’t talk about what I hoped and expected to hear, other than in relation to my thoughts after attending  an incredible conference yesterday.  The VerdExchange Green Marketers Conference was held for a select group of entrepreneurs, manufacturers, government [...]

Whirlwind days at LA Auto Show…and for GM in more ways than one.

There are two aspects to the LA Auto Show that have captured my attention this year.  The first is the innovation that is emerging in sustainable energy (and I’ll have a post just on the green cars I enjoyed test driving.)  The second is the continual shakeup in the auto industy — this time at GM.
