As stoked as I was to do the Grist Interview, I was a little bummed to be heavily edited. Not because my responses didn’t need any choppin’, but because they cut out pretty much all of my philosophy on career choice, hate, blame, fear, and optimism, which I thought was the meat of my interview. [...]

Interesting piece about the growing murmur around OG vs. Homegrown. Organically grown die-hards have been starting to wonder if certified kiwis straight off the plane from New Zealand are really all that good for the planet.

Grist Magazine calls its news “gloom and doom with a sense of humor,” and I’ve long thought of them as the hippest enviro site on the planet. Funny punny is often the mode. So I was stoked when they asked me to be their featured “Interactivist” for the week, which amounts to doing an interview [...]

The band will be getting the hell out of L.A., fleeing towards home this Friday. But first we’ll stop in San Francisco for the Green Festival, rendesvousing with Ross, Laughter, and possibly even the Fossil Fool AND the Granola Ayatola, at Xtracycle’s booth.

I’ve been asking you all to vote in our silly (i’m being kind) little reality t.v. game these last few weeks because of the prize: our own show on mtv, about whatever we want. Well, the contest show was so stupid (there, I said it), that, lo and behold, it didn’t get good ratings, so [...]

The Xtracycle/Ginger Ninjas motor vehicle, Millie the Millennium Van, was first put on a diet of recycled fryer grease beginning in 2002. Millie is a ‘74 schoolbus outfitted for bringing the show on the road, as she has been faithfully doing since her (re)birth on the Millennial New Years. In her conversion experience, Ross [...]

While we’re on the subject of book buying….before I joined Ross to launch Xtracycle I was thinking of starting a dot-com like everyone else I knew. It would be like Amazon but instead of putting little bookstores out of business it would help keep them running, maybe even make them stronger. And it would have [...]

I don’t know. But they both remind me of one of my favorite books. Probably one of the first books any aspiring environmental impact minimizer should buy, read, and read again in a couple of months. It’s called the Consumer’s Guide to Effective Environmental Choices (put out by an awesome group called the Union of [...]

I got an email saying that in about a month direct marketers are going to be allowed to call your cell phone. Is there no escape? Fortunately, there is. You can enter your phone numbers (land, cell, fax, whatever) into the national Do Not Call Registry and get a little freedom. It takes about 59 [...]
