Ford Fusion 2013 Green Year Lineup: Gas, Hybrid, Electric/Hybrid.

A week ago, I witnessed the unveiling of the newly designed Ford Fusion as a guest of Ford. My highlight of the unveiling was my indepth conversation with  Samantha Hoyt, Fusion Marketing Manager about the newly re-designed Fusion.  Listen to the podcast. So, you don’t think this is a commercial for the Fusion, I test drove this [...]

LEED Litigation: Where Is It?

Welcome guest poster, David Scott, Esquire.  I asked David to write a post about why there hasn’t been much LEED litigation.  As a fellow lawyer and LEED AP, I anticipated a slew of lawsuits.    However, like David, I am still waiting.  Here is David’s response: At one point in the immortal comedy Caddyshack, the [...]

How to Dispose of Old Vitamins.

The first of the year some how invokes that “must “declutter feeling.”   Is it being indoor?  A new year?  Who know.  All I do know is my pantry is the bane of my existence.    Especially the shelves that contain the vitamins. I swear they grow expontentially. And no, Suzanne Sommers doesn’t live with me.  However, [...]

Ford’s Green Cars: Building them Fuel Efficient, Smart and Safe

Plan of Steel: Metal Waste & Recycling Containers are Becoming the Norm

It seems that there is an increasing demand for metal recycling & waste containers – but why?  Could it be the aesthetics of a shiny bin that is drawing people in?  Or is there a more concrete answer behind this growing obsession?  Obviously, a sleek stainless steel recycling container will add a certain level of sophistication to its surroundings, whether inside or out, more so than that of a classic plastic bin.  Many metal…See More

Helping Schools Transition to a Paperless System (and Fundraise too)

Each year 2-3 tons of paper per school makes the journey home in our children’s backpacks with the majority of it landing in the trash.  Peachjar reduces this waste by delivering homework and flyers electronically home to parents. Peachjar donates 20% of the proceeds back to schools.Peachjar was started because our schools need financial help. The answer was right in front of us. Get rid of all that paper. “GIVE BACK, GO GREEN” immediately became our motto. We’ve built the company from the…See More

How to Grow Which Edible Plants Inside In Winter

       I am researching growing young plants in winter inside, to avoid the corporate-farm produce at the supermarket. My friend Lisa gave me buckwheat and sunflower seeds to try. The germination rate is 2% for buckwheat and .5% for the sunflower seeds she gave me. I will not fool with these low germination rates. And I would…See More

What is Paper Shredding and How Does It Affect My Business?

Regardless of the type of business you are in, there is a very good chance that you are generating confidential documents that will require you to have some degree of document management policy in place. Think of it like this: if there are any secure documents in your business that you would NOT want anyone to scoop out of a dumpster, then you should have a paper shredding policy to ensure proper document destruction of your confidential papers is taking place in your business. Perhaps you are…See More
