Every time I search for something inspiring I never cease to be amazed at how engrossed some people are and how little I actually do!! I would love to be as green as possible every day ,however my monetary limitations and just plain community make it just that much more difficult.
Sure I can scour the web for hours to find website for building eco-friendly housing and organic food,clothing and etc. But when it come down to it, where are these website businesses based? These are the communities I want to be a part of.
I want to be part of a like minded community that says they are moving ahead and planning for the future as opposed to a community that says “I need a big truck so I can go mud ridin’.”
Take a look at one family that is more than doing there part. They are almost self sufficient (when it come to food anyway)

SCRIPPS HOWARD
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. — The curved roof of the Toyota Prius in
front of the Solar Electrical Systems office is covered with 146 dark,
4-inch-square solar cells.
When Greg Johanson first had the idea to give the hybrid car a bit
of solar electrical energy, he didn’t know what a challenge that curved
roof would present.
Johanson’s company had to embed the solar cells into fiberglass and custom mold it.
Tapping the roof, Johanson called the Prius the “worst vehicle” for testing his concept.
“I have a habit of doing things backward,” he said. “If we could make the worst vehicle work, the easy vehicle should be easy.”…………..To read the rest
It’s always nice to see when some people are already doing things that you think about doing.
Most people think that meat really isn’t that bad for you.
What does this little guy think about this?
How could you look into this poor creatures eyes and say, “sorry bud,gonna eat you. Your the sweetest piece of meat in the place.”
Many people love veal because of its tender juicy texture.”It’s just taste so good I could never stop eating meat.” However those same people after scarfing down a huge hamburger or greasy plate of chicken followed with a heaping bowl of cream filled bacon and cheddar soup will tell you “I ‘ll pretty much be useless for the next hour or so.” Your food is not supposed to beat your ass and put you in a stupor, its supposed to give you energy and keep you alert.
Don’t get me wrong, there are many people that eat meat and were quite famous for it.

and there are also many others killers that still find there ways into children’s rooms and schools everyday that most are completely oblivious to. You may know him as the 1 eyed 1 horn Flying purple PEOPLE EATER!! When are you people gonna wake up and see the damage that is being done.
Meat is a main contributer to many cancers causing materials and viruses and what type of meat you think may be better for you, may be even worse. Poisonous metals and chemicals show up in animal tissue all the time. and just because it’s USDA certified doesn’t mean its good. I’ll take a quote from “Tommy Boy” to explain this more effectively.
“I can take a shit in a box and mark it guaranteed, but at the end of the day what I sold you was a guaranteed piece of shit.”
There are regulations and certain “allowable” amounts of harmful chemicals that I’m sure you don’t even know about. Did you know that YOU have an allowable amount of rocket fuel you can consume everyday. How bout that this whole time you were just wasting all that good fuel you had sitting around by throwing it out when it went bad. You could have been drinking it!! Not too much though the government did specify how much is too much.
Are you done evolving? I’m not a caveman or a primitive mammal. Evolution doesn’t stop. Think about what your putting into your body. Watch your bodies reaction to it. Was it positive? did it give you energy?Was it artificial energy? Take responsibility for yourself and stop putting it in the hands of others.

If you decide to look at your options for new cars on the market these days you’ll will be pleasantly surprised at all the new and exciting technology with hybrids and maybe if you are doing some real research on the matter you may even find a fuel efficient diesel car like the Smart Car. The U.S. released will be gasoline not diesel (how convenient for oil companies)
If you really get interested in better fuel efficiency and alternatives you’ll be happy to know that there are many new alternatives including the Fuel Cell, Biodiesel, and Plug-in Hybrids. These ,however, may not all be available yet nor in mass production.
If you continue your research you may find something called the Ev1. This little short-lived gem was the first fully electric production vehicle by GM and got over 80 mile per charge. Have you ever heard of this car? Chances are unless you’ve done your research the answer is no. There are many reasons you haven’t heard of it, but one that comes to mind is perhaps the companies it stands to challenge the most:Big Oil. If you haven’t watched Who killed the Electric Car I would strongly recommend it.
So far the Plug-in Hybrid is the next logical move from oil dependent vehicles but they still do consist of gasoline powered engines. If you have been completely enraged after seeing all this material and don’t want to wait another 5 years or more before the plug ins are in mass production ,you can get your current hybrid converted for around 12,000. But like most things that are progressive and eco-friendly, these conversions are being done mostly in California. There are some useful links to help you on your new journey to becoming an eco- friendly commuter.
You can always get you current car converter to all electric. They don’t do as well in the range you can drive as the EV1 but if its your only need to drive 40-50 mile at a time you may want to look into it.
After much debate,I have decided to put up some food for thought. If your still on the fence about whether being vegan or vegetarian is healthier or harder than eating beef and other meat products,think about this when your chewing back that chicken wing from Popeye’s or KFC.
I know Alec Baldwin is a little dramatic and hell maybe even a little extreme, but I think it gets the point across.
I would strongly recommend it.
