Taking a green peek into what is in store for me

October 14th, 2009

This Sunday, my wife is going to start turning me green.  Every week, she is going to assign me a green or environmentally friendly task to complete.  I have already asked what green means  to you and made an admission that I am a bit selfish and set in my ways.  I am looking forward to my first assignment, but am going to spend a little time today to cheat and see what I have in store by looking at other green blogs.

A quick blog search of Google gives me a sneak peak of what might be in store for this guy:

  • At Green Blog, they are telling me that Norway announced that it intends to reduce emissions by 40% by 2020.  Being 50% Norwegian, I applaud the mother land.
  • Treehugger definitely has an interesting article.  The just of it is that we are all procrastinating in regards to carbon-dioxide emissions and it will destroy the oceans.  What I really liked about this is that they used an image from the Alien vs World movie, which I can relate to.  Well, I can’t relate to aliens or Sagornia Weaver, but I think you know what I mean.  Also, they used an example where a student procrastinates studying for a test.  I can relate to that also.
  • I learned about Best Green Blogs, which appears to be a listing of all the best Green Blogs.  Unfortunately, I am not on this list…. yet.
  • On the Little Green Blog, I learned that Oct 19 to the 25th is Energy Saving Week.  They seem to give some practical tips a person could use to help save energy.  Also noted, they say you should ‘get a water butt’ and save rain in it.  A water butt?  Although I get that it is a rain barrel, does it really need to be called a water butt?  Call 1900mixalot cuz baby got water back?

So, I did learn a bit tonight and please leave a comment if you have any comments or suggestions.
