Thanks for the great link Tom (Ben?), I'll add that to my links list when I put it together.

You can build a Fun-panel solar cooker in less than an hour from a cardboard box and a few metres of aluminium foil.

You are absolutely right. Moderation in all things as the saying goes. What you say is true, people think they have to give up everything, when really all they need to do to get started is turn off the a/c and open the windows or instead of throwing away peelings, throw them in a compost pile, simple.

Thanks for your comments :)

Thanks for your comments :)

If people would just realize you do not need to become a fanatic to do the right thing, a heck of a lot more would get accomplished.

It is resistance to the idea you need to live in a cave with no electricity and eat berries in order to make a difference that prevents people from even beginning to move in a positive direction.

If we had less commercials about credit cards and prescription drugs and more about living within our means and in a responsible fashion, many of our problems would go away.

Excellent post. I have been sucked into the Global Warming trap for a few years until I finally got sick of the back and forth blah blah of it all and came to the decision that whether or not global warming is real a more green lifestyle actually makes more sense both environmentally and fiscally. We, like you have made a real effort to live more sustainably without being a whacko at it. I've been using my blog to share tips on living more green and covering the global warming debate without really taking a side. http://ksvn.blogspot.com/

BTW, I meant to wish you good luck with your business. If you are going to have success, I imagine California is a great place for it.

I'm thinking of seeing if I can work a deal with our local dealer :)

Hi taryn, thanks for posting :)

I'm sorry, I guess I need to be more clear. I don't have a Zap yet, but am aiming to get one in the next 6 months or so.

I have been in them though, that's why I am comparing it to my Mini. Of course the speed will be no where near that of my beloved Mini.

When I DO get one, I will be writing a blog about it and detailing my experiences. I believe that will be a great way to help people see just how useful smaller cars can be, as well as environmentally friendly.

I'm so glad you like your Zap! I just started sell...

I'm so glad you like your Zap! I just started selling them in Glendale CA and I think they are great. I hope I hear about more good experiences like yours. thanks!
