Self-explanatory but...

We as a planet need to consider the impact that we are having on future generations. I am not perfect in anyway nor claim to be. The best we can do is to do our best, the best we know how to at any given time. It also helps to have a peer group that you can look up to and be inspired by. Anyways, the less animal products we eat the better. We hear too much talk about carbon and not enough about methane. If you want be a environmentalist you will at a minimum need to reduce your intake of animal products and your dependence upon them. No need to cut them out entirely but just treat them as you would alcohol.

Is Vancouver About to Become the Greenest City in the World?

The city has made a rapid transition: It draws 90% of its energy from renewables, has a booming bicycle culture and a very popular progressive mayor.

Optibike vs Giant Twist Freedom DX

I am thinking of purchasing an Electric Bike until the new pure electricTesla Model S comes out in 2011.

Right now I am leaning towards the Optibike, handmade in Boulder Colorado, USA. I am also going to test drive the Giant Twist Freedom DX. The Optibike seems to be one tough bike with all sorts of high-end features and it is also made in the USA which is a rare find these days!

We will see what happens!
