Keeping up with Neil’s electric car project

Some of you may be aware of the fact that Neil Young is converting his favorite gas-hogging 2-ton white ‘59 Lincoln Continental — complete with awesome 50’s tail fins — into an all-electric zero-emissions vehicle. Some of you may even be aware that Neil and his designer John Goodwin almost crashed the unwieldy $120,000 ride on a recent pop quiz drive. Apparently, as that monumental “LincVolt” project continues to chug along, it’s picking up a kind of following of its own.

Now, Neil has app…

Brita Climate Ride Recap

Sometimes I’m not as lazy as some might think. Last week I participated, along with 100 other riders, in a 5-day, 300-mile bike ride from New York City to Washington DC to raise awareness about climate change and press for action. The 2008 Brita Climate Ride raised by $200,000 for organizations such as Clean Air Cool Planet and Focus The Nation that are on the front lines on these issues. Those of us who rode were a diverse lot. Environmental leaders like Randy Swisher of the American Wind …

Financial meltdown threatens climate change discussions

First, lets start with the poor news; the Kyoto Protocol runs out at the end of 2012. Now, even worse news — the current financial meltdown is making climate-change pretty low on the political priority list.

A summit scheduled in Copenhagen by the end of 2009 is supposed to finalize what will succeed the Kyoto Protocol, and there are concerns that getting the world community to agree on something in that economic period is not going to be fun.

The German Foreign Minister said in a …

Coco Tiles made from reclaimed coconut shells

At West Coast Green I saw an amazing range of environmentally friendly, energy efficient and all around cool products for greening your home. As much as I love bamboo, there are some beautiful alternatives, like the wall covering tiles from Kirei, made from reclaimed coconut shells.

Kirei debuted the first Coco Tile line, called the “Sumatra Collection” in the eco-lounge at West Coast Green. The lineoffers 12 textured styles, ranging from a basket weave to a light and dark palm frond patter…

Report: Meat and milk should be rationed for global warming

Milk has managed to work its way into the news a lot in recent days. First, it was the Chinese milk scare. soon after, it was the PETA asking Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream to replace cow’s milk with breast milk. Now, a group of researchers from the University of Surrey’s Food Climate Research Network is saying that we should to limit our consumption to 4 servings of meat and 1 liter of milk per week to avoid a runaway climate change scenario.

Writers of the report hope to inspire more food aware…
