We honestly can’t remember the exact moment bathroom design came into focus and turned into one of the top fixations of every household interior design but we do know we’re obsessed with it. With the gradual upgrade of interior design came the upgrade of bathroom design as well, and we have now moved from “regular” materials to eco-friendly options – where possible, that is. (more…)
The Keystone Pipeline ruins the planet. But it has two modes: When it works as advertised, this destruction takes place slowly, over a period of decades; when it fails, the process is greatly accelerated.
The Facebook post to the left is a reference to Native Americans’ and other environmentalists’ protests, and the intense reaction by law enforcement to stop them. From Wikipedia: (more…)
David Crosby happens to live near me, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. Let me tell you, here’s hard to miss with that imposing head (and face) full of gray hair and a smile the size of all outdoors.
His Facebook post is here funny, of course, but there is a serious point to be made here as well–and it’s not that he needs to pay more attention to his punctuation. Rather, it’s that progressives couldn’t care less about the admiration of Trump supporters; in fact, we’d know we were doing something wrong if we actually had it.
Winter is on the way, so make sure your heating system is ready to keep you warm.
Humans have been able to adapt to all kinds of different weather conditions. In the summer, we have air conditioning to keep us cool. In the winter, we have furnaces to keep us warm. It’s a luxury to have this wonderful equipment to keep our houses at ideal temperatures no matter what time of year it is. Ensuring this equipment is running properly will help your home be energy-efficient. (more…)
From “The Daily Stoic“:
U.S. General Fox Connor would tell his young protege Dwight D. Eisenhower: “Always take your job seriously, never yourself.” It’s a paradoxical truth: The responsibilities thrust upon you are important and your duty to those you lead or serve is everything, yet where these roles take you-—be it to power or wealth or fame-—says nothing about you.

We have a frequent commenter here who regularly voices his opinion that because the Paris Climate Accord is nonbinding that it’s merely symbolic. I respond: (more…)
Much of our lives are shaped around our vehicles. They bring us to work, home, and around the country easily. Advancements in vehicular technology since the days of Henry Ford have been monumental and are continuing. With rising concerns about the environment, vehicles with sustainability are one of the biggest things to keep in mind. Here are four reasons why energy-efficient vehicles are the way to go. (more…)
Yes, people of conscience are nauseated by the Unites States’ withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord and our using the 23rd U.N. Climate Convention as a venue to promote the continued and expanded use of fossil fuels. (more…)
Shown here: Donald Trump, Jr., in one hand, showing off the tail of a elephant he’d just killed in East Africa, in the other, the knife he’s used in dismembering the corpse.
A Zimbabwean emissary to the climate conference in Bonn commented this morning, that until he learned about Trump’s lifting of the Obama-era ban in importing elephant trophies, he was positive that there was nothing further that the current administration in the U.S. could do to horrify him.
I feel for him. We’d all like to believe that pure evil has a limit, and that just maybe it’s been reached.
Sadly there is no evidence whatsoever that we’re anywhere near that limit, if it exists at all.
I go to a fair number of conferences on renewable energy, and sustainability more generally. A few times a year, I check out events calendars, decided where I’m going and when, and then hit up the event producers for press passes for my associates and me.
