More About Me
Mike Taylor is between renewable-energy jobs on his way from Minnesota to Washington, D.C. When he has time, some of his thoughts find their way to Solar Kismet, his everything blog. Contrary to most people's first impressions when they hear he uses less than 100 gallons of gas per year and less than 100 kilowatt-hours per month, he owns a car and doesn't live in the dark.

Posted 3 years, 1 month agoI'll admit it: I'm different from most people. I have energy savings goals for my house and car. I usually shop at a local food co-op, paying more than I have to for organic items. I even work indirectly with renewable energy for a living. It wouldn't be that hard to be labeled an environmentalist, except I don't like that word because it turns so many people off (we like "-isms" more than we like "-ists").
How do you measure up?

oh please
listen MAD MAC,
your ideas are typical of what is wrong with humans, and this planet, in general.you appear to be self-indulgent and misinformed (MOST typical of Americans, and yes i am American,
always have been).by the way, you DO know that humans are OMNIVORES,
by definition, not CARNIVORES??!! humans can be prefectly healthy without consuming animals and animal by-products. get yourself a set of
encyclopedias and look it up. sheesh.....On The all-powerful talk-show host ends her vegan cleanse posted 1 year, 5 months ago 30 ResponsesClick here to view comment in original post
global cooling??
come on Grist. you know better than this.
other news agencies might not care, but you should -
the following article is merely one of dozens per day that show up in news blogs around the worldhttp://www.alternet.org/water/83796/
the world-wide poor are starving and dying due to drought conditions globally. and biodiversity is adversely affected as well.
ok, maybe some parts of the planet will cool for awhile, but so what? mostly, it is rich areas that need not worry - we have high gas prices in America, but most or almost all of us in the developed world will still be alive and eating.On Next decade could be cooler than expected, says study posted 1 year, 6 months ago 7 Responses

RFK jr.
yeah, well, no one makes the correct decisions all the time. so he's wrong this time. i'm not sure Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama did the man any good, anyway. Caroline's maybe, but not Ted's.
endorsement's seem so old-fashioned now.On RFK Jr. for Hillary posted 1 year, 9 months ago 3 Responses
