- Sarah over at EcoSalon.com told me about MindBodyGreen.com which is a Social network which “is a place that enables you to share and discover information on better, healthier, greener living.” Unlike Hugg, Mindbodygreen has categories that are not necessarily environmentally related, but do focus on living. I signed up as PixelHead.
- EcoGeek thinks that the latest Solar Power Bill might actually pass since it does not take any money away from the oil companies. Also from Ecogeek, there is a review of Karma from Fisker, which is a hybrid sports car that gives the Tesla hybrid sports car a run for the money.

Really, what is happening with the world today? Nothing gets better and everything gets worse. We can spend a billion dollars a month on war and much more than that inventing different ways to kill off our species, but have to beg for funding to help the environment and our starving species. Where is all the free water these days, stats show that we are running out of food and water quickly and with the growing population we will be out of both soon. I could go on and on and on, but can anyone really hear me over the loud stereo system in their Hummer sitting on 22′s.
