| Favorite green websites/publications: |
Transportation informative reading- human power, electric, mass transit. Or readings concerning architecture/design Even information on Microcars like mine My city-el EV is yellow colored Microcar, but it is a "green machine". Many magazines- Wired, Motor Trend, Dwell, San Francisco magazine |
| Favorite non-profit organization |
Many, but what is most interesting are those based on ecology (Eco Action) and several regarding the 'green' concept or frugality. |
| If I could change one thing in the world, it would be: |
People everywhere live and let live! Enough of that country versus country nonsense! Of course that begins with city A getting along with city B. |
| I think the most important environmental issue is: |
Overpopulation without planning, and economic concerns- constant urban sprawl in a throw-away nomadic society! I like to grow where I was rooted. |
| The greenest thing I do is: |
Pedal my recumbent trikes, or use my Electric Vehicle! Of course; I use many florescent light bulbs, have re-used and re-cycled a LOT for many years- since 1980 or so with 'envelope' housing, "scrub" bicycle motors & huge florescent light bulbs. |
| What does "sustainability" mean to me: |
Treading lightly on the earth, not using everything up. |
| Why am I passionate about being green? |
Dislike driving now for the most part, although I still drive (doctor/store) a "recycled" disposable car. Using my own power on a trike is an invigorating exercise, and having built that trike gives me special pride! The trike is even a green colour, but my City-el is yellow! |
