Top 5 myths about hybrid cars
I like this top 5 list on hybrids. At University of Waterloo, a team of engineering students are working to transform a GM-donated "conventional" hybrid vehicle into a plug-in electric hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that will have the same utility as the base model, but zero carbon emissions. The goal is no emissions, but still maintaining the performance and safety. It's all part of a North American collegiate competition sponsored by GM, the U.S. Dept of Energy and Natural Resources Canada called, EcoCAR. Check out our competition blog: www.greengarageblog.org or our team website: www.UWAFT.com if you want to learn more.Eric2 hours 33 min ago

Is green mining possible?
I like your article although I feel you did not answer all the questions you posed, especially the one about if green mining is possible. I think we all understand it isn't sustainable as there is a finite amount but is it possible to mine in a healthy, environmentally-friendly manner?Anonymous3 hours 43 min ago

Hi!!! My name is Chaline and i'd really like to join the ocean wise programm. I already have a restaurant at St-Hyacinthe, a little town near of Montreal. I'm looking for a list that can help me to do better choices. We don't serve tuna since he's in danger and we also have the seachoice and Greenpeace list. Can you help us?? We use ecological products and we'd like to do more. Thank you very much Have a good one, hope to hear from you soon. Charline MaraisMarais Charline11 hours 43 min ago

How to recycle your CFLs
Some CFLs are crappy; I've used some that turn on (instantly -- a the flip of the switch) at about 50% and increase brightness within 30-60 seconds. Then again, I've used some that come on quite dim and take at least a minute to reach full brightness. Do NOT use them on dimmers, even if the dimmer is at full!! Never EVER use anything but a filament bulb (the regular energy-wasters) in dimmers.Anonymous1 day 7 hours ago

Eco etiquette: it's a wrap
The question is not only WHAT to give but how to wrap it. I've been using cloth gift bags for years now and my bags are STILL beautiful and usable. Gorgeous gift bags are available here; http://www.etsy.com/shop/ellybags Ellen sews her bags using solar power here in Ontario!M M1 day 7 hours ago

Kilowatt ours; powering down and then powering up the right way
I live off the grid and constantly have people tell me that they are going to put up a few solar panels and go off the grid too! I tell them to take all of the steps as listed in this article first in order to lower their demand for electricity or they'll be very disappointed when they discover that it would take A LOT of solar panels (and A LOT of money) to provide enough electricity for their wasteful ways. I also publish books off the grid about living sustainably at www.aztext.com and would highly recommend our "Renewable Energy Handbook" by William Kemp for more information about all of these important topics.M M1 day 8 hours ago

Essentia at the Beach
Like everybody, we're concerned about buying such an important item, like a bed, without being able to try it first. I'm really looking for solid reviews from sleepers with bad back problems who find an essentia to be the only bed for them. Anybody out there? I'm hoping for more from sufferers of lumbar spine problmes. Thanks!!!! JimJim2 days 2 hours ago

Nelson Park Community Gardens
First I want to say my e- mail dose not work. I was just trying to find out some info about Nelson gardens and came across Jasminka comments about dqg park. I to am concerned about small dogs in dog park. I was thinking his yesterday as I walked passed,wow there sure is a lot of big dogs in the dog park lately the little dogs do'nt have a chance. I love big dogs, but I walk a little dog right now.It is hard to go into the DP with him because all the big dogs rush him and he gets really up set. Could here not be a space made for small dogs too? Where they can't walk through the fence. They use to have grassy nolls,sade and peace of mind,and friends. Now they have nothing. I use to watch them from across the st. where I live. Everyone was so happy. Now I take the little dog I walk at night to dog park it's safer, but no friends to play with, it's dark and cold and borring for both of us.Anonymous2 days 4 hours ago
