Every Sunday, Postsecret in updated with the thoughts and whispers from people all around the world. Some are heart wrenching and sorrowful, others are humorous and sometimes endearing. It's amazing how many secrets I've come across....that i've thought once or twice. I enjoy the light hearted posts.

Earth Day

Good morning, the sun is out, the birds are restless and Twitter and Facebook are a buzz with Earth Day sentiments. Enjoy the day, show mother nature some love and maybe read an article or two on how you can celebrate Earth Day not only today, but every day. Here's a link to a story I was interviewed for, Celebrating Earth Day Naturally (page. 16).

The Doors of the 21st Century

Obviously still on my Doors kick. Back in 2004, I saw The Doors of the 21st Century perform-Ian Astbury did an incredible job emulating Jim.

ecoDriver, what's with all the buzz?

On my way into work today I reluctantly had to stop to get gas. I drive a Smart Car, with a small tank that holds about 32liters. With the price of fuel continuing to climb, it's not-so- cheap to drive my little Smart anymore. I can't even imagine how expensive it is to fill up a sedan, SUV or minivan. It's becoming less and less economical to drive. We have become addicted to convenience and we blindly and faithfully continue to depend on fossil fuels to feed our addiction. OK I'm rambling. My message - get outside of your car and start incorporating a mix of commuter options. And when you do need to drive, use these techniques, to save on fuel and reduce your emissions. 

I've delivered  the ecoDriver program in Durham Region for about 2 and half years, now more then ever it makes sense as suburban communities to drive fuel efficiently, buy a fuel efficient vehicle and DRIVE LESS

Mr Mojo Risin

In between lounging, walks on the beach and the occasional volleyball game, I took some time on vacation to indulge in a little rock history. My sister gave me her tattered copy of No One Here Gets Out Alive when I was 14, I was instantly enthralled with Jim Morrison. 10 year later it still has the same effect. Highly recommend. 

The Green Living Show
