Taste Palace
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009
Found an amazing place right outside of Siena where they grow sangiovese, olives, fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts… all in balance or promiscuo as they say. Not a vineyard, not a farm… I call it a taste palace, maybe there’s a better name out there. I might work with them to install a major solar setup and some biohydrogen generating algae ponds. In my dreams, right?

Environmental Advocacy
Sunday, April 19th, 2009
With Obama’s stimulus package passed, it is a victory nationwide for treehuggers and environmentalists alike. It is the tipping point for a movement that’s been building momentum for decades. I’ve recently gotten involved with the Sierra Club here in Philadelphia, and you can see the glimmer and the mist in these peoples’ eyes when they talk about the times we’re in. The love for the planet now makes economic sense. From the need for energy independence, to skyrocketing health care costs, to an economy in depression, the time has now come to renew our world.

Nature to the Grid: Renewable Homes
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009
Always in search of the sustainable solution that will sweep the world, I’d like to propose a new idea.
The green movement has no doubt tipped into the public’s consciousness, and yet still hasn’t been consolidated into a feasible, economic starting point. I attempted to unify the myriad of renewable energy and consumption/waste innovations in my last post with the concept of ‘nature to the grid’, and will now attempt to expand on it further. The question is where can the average person start incorporating this concept into their life to not just benefit their ecolistic mentality and environment, but to save and make more money?
In continuance of our nature to the grid dialogue, I’ve come to the conclusion that it starts, from both an ecological and economical standpoint, with people taking a proactive role in turning their home into a renewable power station… turning their home into a ‘tree’ if you will.

- We would be keeping the bears happy…
I mean seriously.. look at this fellow. He’s enjoying a little splash in the water without a care in the world. If we don’t make an effort to save the environment, this is going to be a grumpy bear without any place to go other than your back yard. (more…)
