VerdeGoh! - The New Spin [and Shop] on Green

| Comments (2)

What do you get when you combine a tree hugger, entrepreneur, and the crazy eco-vision of one kick ass green guy?

VerdeGoh!

You may not know whether you're right side up or upside down, but when you get your bearings you can rest assured you're probably safe and sound in a Zenn electric car in front of VerdeGoh's green general store.

...or at least you should be!

To Inflate OR to Drill, That is the Question

| Comments (4)

Obama says Americans should inflate our tires to the proper level.

McCain says Americans should drill offshore.

Which plan is more beneficial?

Well, that depends on what you think is beneficial. If you think spending billions of dollars setting up offshore drilling that will further foster our dependence on fossil fuels, destroy marine life, and not make a difference until about the year 2030, then you should go the McCain route.

If you want a difference (environmentally AND financially) RIGHT NOW, today, for free, check out Obama's energy plan.

Before You Rush To Buy A Hybrid Car...

| Comments (2)

hybrid-car.jpgIf gas prices have you dreaming of a fuel-efficient car, then you may want to look into buying a hybrid car. 

Hybrid-electric cars use two power sources instead of one.  They have a rechargeable energy storage system (battery powered) and a normal fuel powered engine.  Because hybrid cars essentially have two engines, they can run partly on electricity instead of solely on gasoline.  This means a hybrid car’s gas miles will be increased 20 to 30 miles per gallon. 
 
Everyone is rushing to trade in their gas-guzzlers for more efficient hybrid cars these days.  Khou.com reports “hybrid car sales have jumped along the gulf coast”.  This is because “Owning a hybrid car use to be a considered an environmentally friendly thing to do, but for a growing number of people it’s become more of a practicality as well.”

better-gas-mileage.jpgWill gas prices ever cease their steep ascent into the stratosphere?

I wish we had the problem of the "high gas prices" in the picture to the left. Sheesh.

I barely even remember $1.93/gallon!!

Luckily, there are an almost infinite number of ways to get more miles out of each gallon of gas we rellunctantly buy.

Even better, is that many of them are absolutely free! What more can you ask than for to SAVE money without spending it?

 


 

How to Green Your...Motor Oil?

| Comments (2)

g_oil.jpgThe gas price spike is continuing to raise higher and higher into the stratosphere, and the world is looking for any way possible to reduce our many dependencies on oil.

One solution is...cows?

That's right, there's a new "green" motor oil in town (or at least there soon will be).

It's called G-Oil, by Green Earth Technologies, and it's made from animal fat...but is it really that green?
