Did you see the shocking story on 60 minutes about the ship breaking beaches of Bangladesh? At first I thought the story was horrible, then my emotions fell downward to anger as I watched a nightmare on television.
Let me digress quickly about my journey of joy, living green and assessing my emotions every eco-step of the way. This was the first green story ever, that truly boiled my insides morphing from anger, as I just mentioned, to a nightmare. Have you had one of these episodes where you can’t think of anything else and can’t feel anything but the ache in your belly for people less privileged than you.
What do you do with those emotions in the moment? I directed myself to Websters dictionary to define what I was initially feeling which was the emotion of viewing people like you and me in horrible conditions. Then, the story made me physically nauseated leading to my labeling this story an utter nightmare.

A friend of mine joyfully jumped with family on a plane and entered the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. When I ran into him a few days later, I asked him, “Was it packed?” He said, “Oh yeah, three hour waits for Indiana Jones and most rides for that matter.” I was shocked with the economy in shambles. Then I figured its stay-cation time not va-cation time. Families are staying closer to home for one day trips, rather than migrating away from home, breaking the bank.

The restaurant I enjoyed today with family for lunch needs help. If using up too much unecessary space on paper is not green, then we know what Tahoe Joe’s is doing on shier menu is not green. Of course, I’m having fun and awakening my green intuition as to what is on the fringes of being a good green company or citizen.
So, nonetheless, I look up to the top right corner of the menu and it says, “Lunch served Monday thru Sunday”…hmmmm….isn’t that EVERYDAY! I’m just saying here…green is about efficiency and authentic conservation of everything including words.
Yes, I sound extreme or wild, and I’m in one of those silly moods again staring at this computer for too many hours and now I don’t FEEL green. Does a case of retinal trauma from gazing at this monitor of mine for too long mean I get sympathy from you for not feeling green at the moment? No. oh, we’ll I tried in my wild sort of way. Then it got me thinking what other wild ways could we go green. 
Wild ways to go green? I’ll start and you jump in for smiles and giggles.
1. Child eco-powered vehicles– are you forever running your kids from place to place and want to try and cut down on your carbon footprint? Why not put a cycle rack on top of your car and then attach a chain to the axle! The kids get exercise, you get to make sure they arrive safely from the comfort of the car and the whole thing is better for the environment – it’s a win-win situation

As a new guy to green, driving the green freeway of love, well… my speeding habits may be catching up to me.
Yesterday I was just talking to a friend about Sammy Hagar and his smash hit from the 80′s, “Can’t drive 55″.
The rock star was also the first person to update the first roadway speed sign of millions across California that went up 10 miles per hour from 55 to 65 in the mid 80′s.
“Hey Sammy, can you come back out to drop those signs back to 55? Looks like his song could soon live up to what is a more safe and green approach to saving lives. The news is the U.K. wants to lower their speed limits by 10 miles per hour on the freeways and another 10 mile an hour reduction on two lane roads.

What a wonderful Mother’s Day, even though it wasn’t all that green.
I launched this blog a week ago and it’s been an exercise of shifting my mindset.
I want us to connect and appreciate how funny life can be when you simply reflect the reality of your green day, good, bad, indifferent.
Yesterday was an eye opener with my brother, a well-educated walking Wikipedia of life, who was helping me understand what car to buy and why?
